I feel like you should compare the actual fuel consumption of the cars you're considering, and not worry too much about how it's achieved.…

Terminology in this space is confusing. It's very unlikely _just_ to be an ADSL modem these days... (how are you even still on ADSL? Isn't…

If he already has an ethernet cable, no need for powerline.

You don't want/need a router; look for an access point or an "extender" with an ethernet port. Having said that, most routers can be just…

A158 has the same internals as the FW91 (basically just the metallic looking version).

A158 has the advantage that you can put a computer in it :) https://www.sensorwatch.net/ Also,…

Your example is more expensive and has worse single core performance? Also, stylistically more boring... Not convinced it's 'infinitely…
