  • Well, I can’t help you much with what router to get, but one thing I do is use ControlD.com free DNS. They have several levels of blocking you can do for free. You can do no blocking at all, you can block known malware, you can block known malware, and advertising, or you can block known malware, advertising, and big social media. Since this is on the router DNS setting, it will apply to every device as long as it is on your network. And then you can also set it up on your Android or iPhone so that when you are on mobile data, it also keeps the same level of blocking.









  • The article says that it’s six gigahertz and that they are putting one unit on each side of the wall they want to blast through. So the signal is extremely strong right at the wall and then goes through it weakening and hits the other device and then is re-transmitted or whatever. By putting the routers directly on the wall, next to each other, they have enough power to get through the obstruction. But if they were in the middle of the room, for example, they probably would not.

  • Going to have a look at sayboard now. I’m not after a full keyboard or anything. I just need the dictation because I use the keyboard that comes with lineage or graphene, which I believe is just the AOSP keyboard.

    Edit: okay i am giving it a try so far it seems like it works well enough but i definitely wish it had a tone to let you know that the recording had started. It also appears to not work every time like it should. Also i don’t seem to be able to find a space bar in order to dictate a new sentence once i’m done with one which is somewhat irritating
