they do make some good hardware, just this one they cheaped out on and used 16MB’s of Storage, it really hobbled the device.
The one i linked is both a router and or switch, you can get cheap switches for like $300 that do really well.
many people just buy junk like this https://www.amazon.com/Mikrotik-Router-Switch-CRS305-CRS305-1G-4S/dp/B08437RDM1 it’s cheaper in the long run.
You will need a good 10Gb nic, I have been using Intel nic’s if you use a Intrusion Prevention System that can eat away at the CPU, also more RAM helps like 8GB’s or more for IPS, I use 16GB’s for IPS + ZFS and a nice Switch can help a lot as it can do DNS and the works, more or less i use a firewall box to a Switch and use a Layer 3 Switch for routing, some can do 20+Gb’s routing.
this is what i do, i look it up on the firmware selector and go from there.
Samsung has a setting for 85%, i know my phone only charging to 85% does not get as hot.
I been using a Intel n100, you can get a box for just over $100 and use a cheap USB 10TB HDD.
Yes, it is just using our Data bases. what people are calling AI is a chat bot on Steroids and Meth with lots of stolen data, if the mass lawsuits win, a lot of this AI Stuff will be gone overnight.
I think it was 66~ watts for my Layer 3 8 port 10Gb switch, and Router in use.
