I also don't know why you would downgrade from a fiber or metroE connection to a cable connection. You are going backwards.

The NID is the last piece of ISP equipment before handing off to internal wiring. Over time the cost of a NID has decreased such that including intelligence into the device so that more precise monitoring and alerting back to the ISP is financially feasible. Typically the NID would not have...

I have had a Gerber Paraframe I for a while. Not edc but only while backpacking. I have no need for an edc knife, I leave a paring knife in my desk drawer. My brevity is not intended to poop on anyone's hobby.

Is Intel incapable of creating such a solution on their own, or is it just not economical for them to produce an enthusiasts product? Is this deal to bridge the time until Intel can get design and production of their own solution ramped up?

Perhaps coincidentally, but since a recent security update I am not able to wirelessly charge my phone. They recognize each other but the phone continues to discharge. The USB cable will works fine.

It would add no more load to parity calculations and would spread the work over more spindles. Win.
