Where I live I have a choice between symmetric 1Gbps Bell, ~100/20Mbps Starlink or a local wireless provider that sells packages up to 50Mbps down and unspecified up, but is actually more like 5Mbps.
I’ll stick with Bell.

It has no bridge mode. It has a DMZ function, but it is not reliable. I just use it as a router and dhcp server. I use my own access points for wifi. Unless I use a VPN they can see all my traffic anyway so I’m not really losing any privacy by using their router.

Sometimes you have no choice. I’m on Bell Canada fibre and as far as I’ve been able to determine there is no way to connect to that fibre other than their modem/router.

Is the +C “new”? I have a B.Sc majoring in mathematics. Now I graduated over 30 years ago and I never used much that I leaned in my degree during my career - so I couldn’t differentiate or integrate to save my life today. But, the equations at least look familiar. The +C does not.

And, F-Droid shows apps that were installed from the Play Store.

Oh, I know how they work - we have an ET-8550. I just didn’t realise generic ink could be so cheap. My wife sells prints of her photographs and artwork so is a bit “cautious” about her ink and only uses genuine Epson at $25 per 70ml. I just looked on Amazon and found that generic ink can be had for around $6-7 per 70ml ($40 for a 6-pack) - wow!

What ink are you getting for $12?? Even allowing for quite a bit of poetic licence, this seems ridiculously cheap.

I’m kinda ashamed to admit I didn’t know Togo existed. Thank you for promoting me to virtually cruise around west Africa a bit and very slightly improve my geography knowledge.

Protecting children would mean knowing which users are children, which would mean knowing the actual legal identity of every user of the platform. It’s never going to happen.
