Bean warmer.

Beam former.

Two for the price of one.

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 99 points 11 months ago

Okay but can you please explain how it is not for sits, given that it is unequivocally made of warm?

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 74 points 11 months ago (4 children)

::: spoiler Maybe get a cat thermal pad. They are always cold. I had issues with mine cuddling up to my warm thighs after a physical therapy cycling routine. She was causing issues so I got a pad on a hunch and a whim about her thermal motivation. She is on this thing ~23/7 since 2020.

I actually have one, as well as a 3d printer, I was sort of toying with the idea of taking the thermal pad, printing a base that looks like my router, and installing some tiny fans to blow the slightly warm air upwards, it would be a biggish product but I'd be down for her to keep the spot while I keep my router free of heat damage

I actually did a similar project for her which you can see in the Bottom left, it's a little monitor that actually works and used to play bird videos so she could sit next to my desk and feel like she had her own monitor. Since then I've repurposed it to run a media server but she still gets to look at it i suppose . The back says peppersoft

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

She is a very pretty, spicy girl

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Wouldn’t work unless it was more expensive or fragile than the router ;-)

Do the red racing stripes make it zoom faster?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 17 points 11 months ago

It's to hone the palantir's connection to the other 6 palantirs

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

If not for sits why is it made of warm?

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

Lil bonus pic from this morning of her really relaxing cause people seem to enjoy her

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Regular router maintenance...

  • dusting - check
  • hairballs - severe
[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

Router warmth benefit increased by surrounding turrets.

I'm always more at ease when I'm well defended by turrets.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Does she give you tortitude if you try to move her?

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Holy fuck she gives it even if you don't

[–] veniasilente@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

I heard before that the internet was for transmitting lolcats but this is getting ridiculous(ly cute)!

I hung my router on the wall and replaced it with a warming pad. It’s all adorable fun and games until your router’s cooling vents get clogged with floof.

[–] lost_tortie@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Gorgeous kitty! 😻

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Can you flip it upside down so it looks like they are riding a robot spider?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

If I were a goddess I'd make an evil throne out of your $200 router too.

Aww what a beautiful kitty, would most definitely kick peppers ass though when she went to start a fight 😂 she's tiny but she won't accept that fact

I have that router. It's a great router. Never drops out, never needs to be reset. It just works, and works well.

My only complaint is that it has a tendency to refuse to switch back to a DFS channel once the airwaves are clear, but I mostly use ethernet anyway so it's not the end of the world. I'm just happy to finally own a router that does what it's supposed to without needing a power cycle every few weeks.

Edit: Model is Toilet Paper-Link Archer AX11000

Looks exactly like several video game mini bosses standing on their evil spawn points.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

NGL, i was a little disappointed when i scrolled down and she wasn't sitting on this. Yours is probably more comfy!

Cats like heat

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Serious question. What does a $200 router do that my shitty Xfinity One doesn't?

[–] rossome@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago

A lot of the ISP provided routers don't even let you change the DNS.

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 11 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Better range, better speeds, better control panel, and some extra features that can be great for gaming or self-hosting servers (eg: network-wide adblocker, nat loopback)

Mostly directional range, but mine also offers a huge suite of features so I can have total control over my network, as well as wifi 6 which is nice and a bunch of high speed ports

[–] tentacles9999@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Lot of comments but the real answer is that generally router firmware is pretty shitty and price does not equal performance. If you want something good for cheap get a 50-100 dollar (can find even cheaper especially if you don’t have crazy internet speeds) computer (like a raspberry pie clone) stick on open wrt, and get a separate Wi-Fi access point. Will blow past any consumer grade premium router because a lot of them are sold the be “all in one” with the cheapest, low power hardware imaginable and while not universal, software that never updated. Also, Something like openwrt has something called cake sqm which can massively reduce latency as well as constant software updates that fix vulnerabilities.

Lucky, getting free cat-ions all day long

[–] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

My cats love to get behind my servers. When I’m running a compute job and the fans spin up my cats scurry over to bask in the heat

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Pepper says "Is warm."
