yeah, i have 32gb and it still feels excessive. even with plex, firefox, steam and discord going i'm only at 8 gigs of usage. all i do on my desktop is game though, i have a server for virtualization and stuff.
He definitely seems like he'd be useful, but you can't leave him to his own devices or before you know it the whole party is going to be thrown in prison for trying to smuggle dreammist or something.
My alternate list is just Bones, Pulaski, and T'Ana - to see which of them can be most crotchety as well as which can come up with the most batshit insane "cure" to whatever medical issues come along.
Guinan was number two on my list, but I didn't tier them really. I mean how can you not take the mysterious alien whose species has ill-defined powers, lives hundreds of years, and is allegedly near the level of the Q evolutionarily? (although apparently not near enough to avoid assimilation)
lmfao. apparently the way this was originally written would have prevented non-exempt routers from getting security updates. you know, the alleged reason this ruling even exists. somebody at the FCC office of engineering and technology must have noticed because they issued a temporary waiver (PDF file).
Applying the revised 47 CFR §§ 2.932(b) and 2.1043(b) to the newly added Covered Routers would have the effect of prohibiting permissive changes to Covered Routers even if they were authorized prior to the March 23, 2026, Covered List addition. This prohibition would be in effect even for Class I permissive changes—such as software and firmware security updates that mitigate harm to U.S. consumers—because previously-authorized Routers are now covered equipment. ...............
Therefore, OET concludes that a limited waiver until March 1, 2027, is warranted and in the public interest. March 1, 2027, is convenient because it is the date until which the recent DoW determination excepts certain otherwise Covered Routers. Prior to March 1, 2027, the OET will re-evaluate whether to further extend applicability.
They wouldn't be forwarding packets between networked systems unless you're using one as a hotspot. And even then I don't know if the term "networked systems" would include a single computer or if they intend it to mean an area network of some kind.
bro this is like $30 worth of antipasto at the grocery store
