Click bait marketing of some shitty YouTube channel.

Dude look at my history before making such accusations. I’m just lazy, sheesh

The time will come, and sooner than we expect, when we all struggle to make ourselves distinctive from cheap AI bots (with their agendas).

Video description:
Wi-Fi 7 routers promise game-changing speed, lower latency, and more stable connections. All thanks to features like Multi-Link Operation (MLO). But do these routers actually deliver on everything their marketing promises? We tested the MLO capabilities of 25 routers to see if the hype is justified, or if it’s all just marketing.

Eh, Wifi 4 is still good enough.

I stayed on decades old Apple wifi routers until my big upgrade to Wifi 7. I will be here for quite a while.

I feel like a majority of tech has been in this rut for a while. CPUs, GPUs, audio, wifi, 4g VS 5g, screens/tvs, etc. all seem to provide the most incremental upgrades each iteration. For a while phones seemed to be making leaps and bounds, but feel relatively the same generation to generation now.
I think the main area I feel like I’ve seen some movement is battery tech. Some new materials and better/longer batteries are making some movement, but tech hardware feels relatively static the past decade or so.

Biggest issue with this stuff as almost always is that the average consumer finds this too complicated.
The fact you have to have everything a modern and up to date wifi 7 setup, including all your devices, and make the right decisions over topology pushes it out of reach of anybody but an enthusiast or someone paying for a top tier install.
Excluding people who cannot lay cable between their mesh points because they renting, a wired back haul is always going to be more reliable and consistent. Plus the average consumer gear loses one or more radios to do the back haul.
Biggest thing wifi 7 offers is better coexistence between multiple heavy users on the same access point, assuming everything is wifi 7.
The speed increases are irrelevant to 99% of the population as I can still max out a 1gb synchronous internet link on wifi 6. My current back haul is 2.5gb, if and when I go wifi 7 I am looking at going to 10gb otherwise what’s the point? How many enthusiast level aps come with 10gb back haul?
realitista@lemmus.org 20 hours ago
Why do you feel you need 10Gbit? I only just upgraded mine to 2.5gbit when I went WiFi 7 and doubt I will even have one endpoint doing that any time in the near future, considering it will max out the wifi router even at that speed. I don’t expect multiple at the same time for many many years.

A home server with an SSD can reasonably saturate 1000MB/s. An actual home use case can be made for 10Gig.
tankplanker@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Future proofing, at some point I will go 2.5gb sync or higher on my Internet pipe, the connection I think can go 10gb sync with some upgrades to the local exchange.
Also because I can, and almost everything else I own for my back haul already has 10gb ports and the bandwidth to support it including my router and all my switches.
Do I need it? Absolutely not, its just fun to do and the only reason I haven’t done so yet is cost of suitable hardware.

I upgraded because my local system’s storage is all(mostly) server-side. Having 10Gb vs 1Gb(or 2.5Gb) is noticeable when loading things like games or image/language model weights. I’ve been considering getting the hardware to bond 2 connections, but I don’t imagine that I’d see much noticeable performance improvement (but the benchmarks would look pretty!)

silly question, how do people find the need to have 1 or more Gbit uplink, I have .5 Gbit and honestly I feel like it is overkill

Damn, you got some harsh comments for just posting a YT link.
Thanks for posting. We need to grow the fediverse, and low-effort stuff like this helps too.
realitista@lemmus.org 21 hours ago
Thank you for appreciating my minimal effort attempt to increase the amount of content on Lemmy.
cokker@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Yeah wtf, I watched the video earlier elsewhere but I knew it was a good source (also dong knows tech) but the comments here have been the worst I’ve seen on this site… “Sounds like ai so I clicked off” god forbid you speak eloquently…

It is more than most contribute. (^ᴗ^)

Its likely as its marked as discussion. I haven’t really explored all the post types myself but as fedi grows dropping them in the right format will likely ease this.
I feel like we need bot /rss option one from content that just imports in. It usually tends to have a link/vid and no context of why its there. Its not wrong of it to be there but it can get frustrating scrolling past this stuff. I am not saying it saying it should be there for artificial engagement either…so this could allow me to filter by format.
I also miss video and creative content (i have dumped insta) i am not sure this is the place for it, but i appreciate it, however I do hate the manufactured youtube crap. I agree AI voice and Youtube Voice are an instant irritant to me. Vids have to feel and genuine and beneficial not just another wannabee…these people used to go into car sales.
UNY0N@lemmy.wtf 19 hours ago
Do you have all those categories for posts? Or is that just a suggestion ?
I use voyager, so I only have media,link,text as options. I must admit, as much as I love the fediverse, it can be a bit confusing sometimes .

I clicked, it sounded like an AI generated voice. I turned it off

There’s a guy in the video who looks pretty real to me, but who knows, fakes are getting pretty good.
ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 hours ago
tbh, I didn’t get that far. It could be legit. It just didn’t sound legit, and I didn’t see a person in the first little bit I watched, so I turned it off before giving it much of a go.

Truth in advertising is pretty much nonexistent these days. Assume they’re lying until proven otherwise.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 10 hours ago
Marketing is literally manopulating you into buying something. Lying optional, but highly likely.
You can consider any ad as lying until proven otherwise.
