The irony of two ICE agents, one black and one seemingly a Cuban immigrant, racially profiling a black man and cuffing him and carting him off without ever even identifying him because they say he’s an immigrant.
It kills me how often these videos show brown and black ICE agents violating the US Constitution to abduct and beat people for being brown or black. I don’t care how much ICE pays, it’s not worth selling out your own values and everything that was supposed to be good about this country.

My cable ISP isn’t actually too bad but the power company can’t seem to keep their shit on. I’ve got a UPS but even with that the cable ISP goes down after ~45 minutes.
My travel router uses a Mint Mobile SIM so I usually do load balancing or fallback (depending on the WiFi quality) when I travel. I’ve used it as my “main” router during outages a couple times but I still prefer my mini PC Alpine Linux DIY router over the GL.iNet stuff (at least at home). I did tons of hacks to get a fallback Visible (Verizon) fallback going on the travel router but Verizon is good at sniffing out unsupported hardware.
My plan for home is to get a 5G to Ethernet adapter and use it for multi-WAN at home. I don’t want to do any “home internet” stuff where they try to dump some weird router on me.
I live in a place that keeps being a few miles out of everyone’s fiber lines, so the cable speed is awful. I wish I lived about 3 blocks from here, when I was testing 5G strength I had nearly 3000Mbps down 400Mbps up while walking the dogs. I bet they’re not even taking advantage of their luck.
I’m in the Los Angeles area and I’m learning that our infrastructure is absolutely terrible. All my friends and family in the Midwest and Colorado have fiber.
Good luck on that front though! I’ve always despised cellular for home internet due to the latency. It’s just the principle of the thing, lol.
I honestly don’t even notice a difference. I worried about gaming at first, then realized I’d forgotten to switch connections and had been playing Path of Exile with no problems all day.
When I was in Denver I had fiber and loved it, but I’m stuck back in Ohio for the moment. Internet infrastructure isn’t exactly the priority here.
Maybe I wouldn’t notice either. It’s like how I want the heavy media streamers in the house on Ethernet to keep the airwaves more “clear” — I know it doesn’t take sense with decent hardware but that same concept is what bothers me about cellular.
