  1. Ugh. My ISP just announced that they were "upgrading" and that would require me to get a new router. And the new router is Amazon's EERO and it requires that I download an app and create an Amazon account to set it up. And if I don't then they turn off the internet next week.

    So, what are the alternatives for routers? I otherwise like my ISP and I'm guessing another one would have the same situation.

    Their tech support was a little helpful and said "Some other alternatives for routers that are locally managed Asus, TP-Link, or Ubiquiti" but I'm not sure what the pros and cons of those are.

    Am I right to be paranoid about getting Amazon involved in all my network traffic?

  6. @MrsG Female matriarch #Tsu #cat loves to lie in outdoor plant pot dirt, often the exact dirt where her arch nemesis male/much younger #Ting cat does his wittles and even (shock, horror, grossness) his poos. Who said cats aren't a bit perverse😂 😹 ?
