Fuck my prior preparation day with the Chromecast with Google TV before the hotel checking…

I don’t travel too often so my Chromecast needed some tweaking (AKA updating system and apps etc), I like to take it as a travel companion and found out this shitty frame around the TV.

It is the first time it happened to me, I can see this being annoying for frequent travelers.

      100% recommend this. Setting it in repeater mode with the captive portal is great. I have a Slate and a Brume.

        Slate still holds up so nicely, but if it ever breaks I’ll get another one from glinet!

      I should upgrade my crappy TP-Link TL-WR702N actually.

      Any idea why the Slate AX router costs more than the Beryl AX, which has better specs?

      Edit

      I’ve done a bit of research and the Beryl is twice as fast over 5GHz. It’s slightly smaller and lighter. It has one less Ethernet port, but the WAN is capable of 2.5Gb. The Slate has an SD card slot for file sharing. It also has a quad-core CPU, so is faster when connecting to a VPN (550Mbps over 300Mbps of the Beryl).

      I actually prefer the black colour of the Slate over the light blue Beryl, but with the slower VPN speed and lack of an SD, both of which are not really a problem for me, the Beryl looks like it’s the one I should go for.

      If anyone in the UK is interested, you can make quite a saving in the UK from Amazon. Normal price is £119 but if you tick the £20 off and 16% off voucher you end up paying £79.96. A saving of £43.53.

      Some projectors are about this size too, and are surprisingly powerful for their size. But then the new issue is finding a blank section of wall
