I use a d-link dir-655. I upgraded from my old linksys wrt54g(the router everyone and their dog has had) because i wanted both wireless n support as well as wired gigabit. Works great and doesn't need restarted anywhere near as often as that damn linksys did(which was annoying).

Cisco at home, it's dud, need to have it repalced under warranty.

Netgear at home as a bridge. Has stopped working. Another dud.

Linksys at work. Awesome, but the one I used to have at home died. Dud.

I have a bad habbit of buying duds.

2 FiOS Actiontec routers acting as MoCA bridges to split coax tv signal and internet signal. Buffalo HP N300 (DDWRT) router is connected to the internet serving Actiontec.

I have a 2nd internet connection which is a docsis 3.0 cable modem with an old D-Link DGL-4300 router.

Asus RT-N16 running Tomato. I upgraded to this router as it supports well over 100mbps throughput, so will be perfect for when Virgin upgrade us later this year.

IPV6 and a VPN server was also very easy to setup thanks to Tomato :)

I like how extreme has no votes and no one has said anything about them... mainly considering extreme doesn't manufacturer routers... only switches.

sssshhh!!! ;-)

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      Surprise Execs are dumb. I hope the rehired engineers said were not coming back until we get 2x our salary.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.

      Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!

      In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
