I love my Ubiquiti gear. Range isn't great, but in range it's absolutely rock solid. The only time I have downtime is when I upgrade or tinker too much an mess something up. I've had it for 3 years and don't see it petering out anytime soon. 3 to 5 years is the most I've had my consumer grade stuff last.

The fact that I can run VPN/Wireguard/Basic Network apps on my router is fantastic. If I ever get tired of the range (which is only an issue in my garage on the other side of the house), I'll simply get another AP.
Please do. Would love to use something like this.

> What about all the other American companies doing business in China? Do they get to keep doing business because they are politically popular companies but Google is not? Or would this be a government mandate of a broad based American pull out?

Getting the US government involved period is a bad idea. Government interference in business is how big government starts. You need more and more agencies to police business behavior, and that eventually leads to large, inefficient, and inept bureaucratic agencies that do more harm than good. Example: EPA, FDA, etc
Yeah all of this coincides with moving people across to soft phones and headsets. Most users are heading to wired headsets which will keep a lot of Bluetooth out of the airspace, but a few will have BT headsets (and many have just obtained their own).

The other big gotcha with wireless is catering adequately for guest devices. In more permissive environments (such as ours), catering for 3 devices per staff member is a good starting point.

You also have to decide how/if you want to prioritize corporate over guest traffic, and that's not as straightforward as it first looks.

We're fortunate that our user base (800) is spread over a significant floor area, and four separate large floors. We're also pretty much alone in our space, so less outside interference to handle. It was far worse at my last organisation (also Aruba), where not only were we surrounded by very noisy neighbours but we also had far higher floor density, coupled with the navy docking right next to the building which would regularly wipe out our wireless, site-wide, for random amounts of time.

I think in situations like this an idea worth considering is a truth and reconciliation process.

The idea is everyone is given a year or so to go back, identify anything that they may have p-hacked or otherwise been unethical, and if they are radically transparent and work to correct the record then they can continue on reputation and position intact.

It requires some serious compromise, it's imperfect, but it may be the best way to get the truth and prevent an ugly process from dragging on indefinitely.

EDIT: Thinking about this post a bit, it doesn't really address your key concern of vendor lock-in and feels like a shill. My immediate gut reaction was "who cares if you're locked in, no way can you beat the price," and that isn't very constructive. I know on an intellectual level that history has taught us a lot of things about monopolies and entrenched players, but emotionally the visible price tag elicits a strong response. Maybe someday Teddy Roosevelt will rise from his grave and save us all.
> I could run some long cables. Out of interest, how long are the cables in your setup, and how well does it work?

I don't use my setup for VR, but I've got my gaming rig in the office extended to the living room TV.

USB and HDMI over 30 meters, with one active USB hub/HDMI extender connecting two 15 meter cables in the middle. The HDMI extender needed some fine-tuning, but after that everything just works as it should. Just need to remember to turn the hub/extender off when not in use or else it's quite a pointless electricity drain.

Tho I'm not sure how well a setup like that would work for VR, with latency being such an important issue and the VR setup introducing even more cable length to it all.

Pretty neat idea! [Although the (register) dependency chain looks a bit nasty. 'and' will need 'sbb' to commit and 'sbb' will need to wait for 'cmp' to commit (flags register). But I guess the few/rare cases where this latency is really an issue can be dealt one-by-one basis.]

> No need to memory map

Well, using MMU can have performance benefits. Less repetitive bounds checking code and better performance in most scenarios. Both solutions have their strengths and issues, there are no silver bullets.

> I'm talking about exponential differences in time complexity, or even infinite ones. You can easily specify "computations" with infinite (or even uncountable) nondeterminism in TLA.

SQL joins are worst-case exponential in the number of relations joined, where n = the total number of rows in the database (though there are many special cases that can help reduce this). I believe many people nonetheless consider SQL a programming language--with WITH RECURSIVE, it is Turing-complete. You could probably talk me into believing it's more of a "specification language," but despite that people use it for performance-critical things (admittedly usually in one of the special cases where it's better-than-exponential, but such special cases exist for most intractable problems; it doesn't seem to me that the nature of the language can be thought to fundamentally change depending on the data set).

> Even if you object to this distinction, you would agree that the "specification parts" of Coq (i.e. those with significant nondeterminism and use of quantifiers) cannot be generally mechanically executed in an efficient manner.

I specifically object to this! Coq executes what you term the specification parts in a very different way than trying to exhaustively enumerate solutions--one that is actually quite efficient and can be mechanically executed. Essentially, rather than trying to eliminate the quantifier, it tries reducing the type, and the body bound by it. A key point is that this mechanism isn't special-cased for the "specification" parts--it's exactly the same reduction mechanism used everywhere in the program, and indeed it's very important for conversion that reduction behave this way. Thus, you can indeed efficiently, mechanically execute a type in Coq. Once it reaches normal form, of course, you can't perform any more reduction--but from the Coq kernel's perspective, up to eta conversion, types in normal form are distinct from an enumeration of all their inhabitants, meaning it is indeed doing the right thing here.

In other words: Coq does not allow you to only program with non-type terms, and it doesn't make a clean distinction between inhabitants of types and types themselves. Moreover, while for quantified parts this isn't usually that interesting, for nondeterministic parts (such as match expressions on unknown variables) it can actually be quite important; for example, dependent elimination within the return type of a match clause can determine the index of a value of an inductively defined type, thus actually affecting program execution (and vice versa, of course; for instance, a type can be constructed representing n iterated lambdas, where n is an unknown value that may either be specified at runtime or at compile time. It is this latter case that gives rise to techniques like proof by reflection that may approximate an exhaustive search in order to produce a proof object--but they do so because the user wrote a program specifically to do exhaustive search, not because there's some exhaustive search mechanism built into the language).
> I'd imagine pretty much any network vendor doing business in the enterprise sector (e.g. HP, Cisco, Juniper, Dell, etc, etc)

Whatever you do, don't use Cisco Meraki. Their edge equipment didn't correctly implement STP until like... a couple years ago; and it is known to stall inbound TCP, while leaving those same sockets open for outbound traffic, randomly and frequently.
I this case it's controversial, unless one is pro dictatorship, or maybe just clueless.

Because the laws are controversial: They entail people get sent to prison, for speaking up against sexism or toxic air, or because they want some privacy, or because they criticize the government (well, dictatorship).

That is controversial. Unless one is fine with, or is clueless about, toxic air, sexual harassment, others going to prison because they disagree with the government (dictators).

I wonder if—as a culture—we're limiting ourselves by habitually thinking in terms of public government and private enterprise; as if we need to find new concepts for grouping together people trying to solve problems.

It’ll be more involved for you to set up, but pfSense is what I use. I basically forget it’s there until I want to change something (add a new VPN user, monitor bandwidth usage). I’ve set up an IPSec VPN that works well with my Apple devices, especially with a configuration profile that enables on demand VPN (connect via VPN when certain conditions are met, like not on my home WiFi). For hardware I use a cheapish “industrial” computer from AliExpress. Probably not the best thing security-wise (no firmware updates in the past few years, it feels like it’s just shipped directly from a random factory in China), but it’s been great so far.
K8s is about cluster orchestration. It's for building apps that allocate memory and compute from a pool of machines almost like malloc() and free(). It's also an abstraction for allocating compute away from the specifics of a provider, so you theoretically don't care if you deploy to gcloud or Azure or AWS. Containers and images merely define the interface with the agnostically allocated compute. They're not the essential bit though, not the magic.
This reads less like a story and more like a rant. You don’t like the app or it’s root, so what? I’m not clear what your stories intention is.

Oh, I totally agree and that was my point (besides offering up some advice for others with these issues). These are all annoyances that can be dealt with easily once you know the solutions, but you have to know how to arrive at those solutions. Most PC users would have trouble, and I would even argue many savvy users would have trouble nailing down some of the causes.

Realistically, though, most of these aren't VR problems as much as they're general PC gaming problems with Nvidia and Steam. I accept that price for the flexibility I get in return.

Contrast that to having no control over the various background processes and apps always loaded in memory when using a GearVR, though. Like most consumer-friendly tech, it just works until it doesn't. Then there are only three solutions possible: reboot phone, uninstall updates and reinstall them, and hope the bug is addressed in the next update, whenever that will be. (I'm assuming Oculus with lock down the OS similar to what Samsung does with Android, which means major compromises if you want to try rooting it.)

I do realize I'm in the minority that spends a few hours fixing or working around a problem, rather than shelve the unit and play update roulette in random short increments. But, with VR still in its infancy, are we/they really ready for those types of consumers? I mean, there is a severe lack of standards across the board, making handholding really difficult. Everyone threw up their hands at tablet UIs and decided to just make them bigger phones and I'd hate to see VR suffer the same fate of being dragged down by the lowest common denominator.
