They do, at like 90 amps though

step 1: overprovision with drives that will never exist step 2: look at storage pool step 3: notice it's very large step 4: ??? step 5: Profit

maybe OSPF was a bad example but better hardware can speed things up signifigantly

million dollar question my friend

I was just using an example, a routers specs don't need to be top of the line, only that it will be able to make routing decisions faster with more resources. this is Linus after all, why would he underbuild a machine, that's boring and not what the audience wants on a side note, L3 switches are way more cost effective than routers... one device as opposed to two and with an IPBase image it's got relatively the same functions and less power consumption, a 3650G uses 130w and a 2960G with an ISR4431 is around 350w to acheive the same goal. (although the 2960G and 4431 are far more useful beyond a single switch)

I agree, one of these would make for a boring video

just an example, routers can use the extra resources to speed up transactions, you can run a router on 512MB of ram and a bunch of ASIC chips *even 512MB is a bit much for simple stuff

you've never worked with a router that doesn't have enough RAM or CPU... trying to get multiarea OSPF working on a crappy router is painful, you get more than 10-15 entries in the routing table and you get 100% util. and the latency goes through the roof. you need decent specs to keep traffic going at a decent speed

If you share the cost of the internet evenly whether you or your roommates are using it 24/7 or not, $33 is not bad for 200/20. I'm paying $28 for 50/10, but on the other hand do you need 200/20? no, not unless you're hosting servers at your house or streaming high bitrate content(20 mb/s up isn't great for streaming/servers anyway).

meh, decent for a home but nowhere near as fast as I'd like

First

I love the fact that this laptop was probably designed to operate indoors/outdoors in a dry environment but alas this laptop made it to the top of Mt. Elbert and ran doom... If I win this laptop I'll probably take it and my friends to the top of a mountain and re-create the magical feeling of playing doom on a mountain. Other then that my favorite physical thing about the laptop is the form factor, the fact that it's lighter and thinner but still packs the punch of the classic ROG "desktop replacement" laptops. I don't know why this appeared a second time and I can't seem to be able to delete this.
