minus-squarememe_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-211 hours agoI mean it’s a great product. For anyone living in a place where Fiber, 5G, or even a classic ADSL connection isn’t available. If you use it in a well developed area that would offer you any of the above, you’re a moron
