Keep business and personal separate. And make sure that you have encrypted backups for your business and an off site backup.

They’re not actually lower powered, they just have a TDP limit set.

E.g. A 8500 and 8500T will idle at the same power consumption, but the 8500T has a TDP limit set.

My solution is the correct way and easier way. You don’t need MAC address white-list. You just have a guest SSID with DHCP on, they get the IP from the subnet in that zone. No crazy subnet hacks etc.

Can I join your guest network, sure. Let me just grab your mac address, login to the DHCP server, create a reservation with a limited subnet mask that can still see the default gateway.

Or can I connect to you guest network, sure here is the code or scan that QR code. That’s it, they’re in the guest VLAN and subnet, zoned off on the firewall and have QOS applied to not saturate the network.

This is not the way to do it. The correct way would be multiple SSID’s with each tagged to their own VLAN.

Each VLAN has its own subnet. You can then use a zone based firewall, to allow the zones(subnets) to access each other.

You can also then apply QOS, to limit guest network speeds, prioritize LAN traffic etc.

And zone based firewalls are stateful, you can do rules such as LAN can reach IOT, but not the other way. Or IOT can only reach the IOT server, on specific ports.

If they add on a service charge at a bar. I always ask them to remove it. A service charge for me walking to the counter and ordering a drink… Really!

Thank you

You just install it on both devices, and then add the devices together using the QR code’s.

You then add the folder you want to share, and select the device you want to share it with. On thr device you’ve chosen to share it with, you will get a prompt. You press accept and select the target folder.

The devices will now sync that folder.

You don’t need a server at all. Syncthing is peer to peer between devices. So you can just have it sync between two phones, or a phone and a laptop. They don’t always have to be online either.

Can I create a folder in the dock, and make the background transparent. That’s all I want, dock folders with no background.

SFP+ is 10Gb/s not SFP. The ASIC needs to be capable of the speeds for the transceiver to work. SFP+ is the name given for 10Gb/s module and transceivers.

So if a device supports SFP+ it supports 10Gb/s. It doesn’t automatically mean it will work with 5 or 2.5Gb/s transceivers.

Well it’s usually In the firmware. As this is a laptop, the display is usually a dumb display. It depends if the manufacturer wrote the firmware into a controller or used windows drivers.

The UK has two modes of “fibre” FTTC fibre to cabinet. Then copper to your property. Or FTTP, fibre to premise, which is as you describe fibre right to your property.

Its not loose. Its free, smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

I am just waiting for your switch shelf to collapse. That’s some serious flex. :)
