To be fair, the issue is probably not going to be as evident downtown. Go over to the east side in old fourth ward or inman park and I think you'd have come to a different conclusion.
Honestly I've loved mine, but its definitely not for everyone. The standard software is pretty lacking, and the cloud features are meh. If you're willing to apply the DDVK patches, and an additional launcher it becomes a joy to use. Koreader for reading, regular software for writing is a joy. Oxide is a great launcher for easily switching apps. You can setup syncthing via ssh. The hardware is great, and having ssh access was what sold me on it.
I mean that sounds like problems with one wifi card which can be swapped out for about $30. Swap it out for something like the ax200 and I bet those problems go away
If only it were easier to buy these. All the major retailers were sold out before the chips showed up on the site. The only people who managed to get them were via direct links to the listings.
Different chips have different limits. I used to do some of this competitively back in the day. Different architectures can't get as high max frequencies, some respond differently under the extreme cold. These records are typically done using liquid nitrogen or phase change cooling and a lot of chips will freeze up below a certain temperature. Then its also a toss up between different individual cpus of the same model. It's a bit of a crapshoot.
They'll just leave, like they're already doing. Illinois already has net decreasing taxable revenue, driving out the wealthy tax payers just exacerbates the issue.
Been using this for months with mixed success. Used to crash all the time but ever since the last update the bugs seem to have been worked out. Great project
