The modem in my 9 Pro XL has been completely fine since I bought the thing last year.

Time will tell as it ages.

Yes, I am painfully aware. Unfortunately, this doesn't actually help.

My Zero W lives in a Geekworm case with an RJ45 port, so it's wired directly to the router. I likely won't be using it for anything else at this point. Even just opening the web UI bogs it down pretty heavy.

Thought I just realized it's still running Raspbian (11, not 12), so maybe I'll look at running DietPi.

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

Yeah, that's really the kicker, isn't it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.

It's a guaranteed death.

My household usage is well over 2TB/mo. It's not unrealistic to expect individual usage to be fairly high outside of the house.

Because they can. I have the same gripe.

Adderall legit helps me focus at work and at home.

I mean, I pirated the Windows 10 installation on my gaming PC. Massgrave scripts helped out though, so there's that.

That said, I'm wiping Windows soon and installing LMDE. It's the last Windows PC in my house (minus W11 work laptop - that doesn't count though).

Right?

Awww... iTunes is that bad now? Man....last time I used iTunes was probably 2010 or so. Bummer.

What do you mean "now"? They've always been everywhere public signups exist.
