That's probably a problem with your router

isp provided router

receiving hardware

tried multiple devices, both wireless and wired, even with an name brand external wireless antenna

Especially if you're in an area with a lot of other wifi signals or radio frequency interference

Middle of nowhere countryside.

If it's an ISP provided router you could probably ask for them to look at it

Tried, they gave me the Deny, defend, depose treatment

i hate apple with a burning passion but at least their cable lasted more then 3 years without wearing the port down to where you need to angle the connector with force or it doesnt charge

i hate mtp until i see the 6 hours remaining on a wireless transfer and then i love mtp

take manufacturer's claims

divide by 10

half it

half it again

you now have the max your device will ever reach, with the usual speeds being ~60% of that

(my isp says 300mbps, divide by 10, half, half, 7,5mbps, which i think i never saw since the speeds are actually from 3 to 4)

yup!

People with a new phone every 2/3 years never need to use angled charger treatment, which i find i need to do too often these days

that being said, there is no standard indicator for ports, chargers, and cables to signify what charging speed they support.

Sure, usb c can technically do 240W, but most people use crappy chinese cables which will do max 5W and blame it on the usb specification

retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?

I’m just a little disgruntled because I like treating my Pi’s as headless servers, often with a single purpose, and I don’t want to have to erase the SD cards to upgrade versions.

sounds like a dietpi usecase! (sorry for the shilling, i just really like the project)

but hey, if debian works don't touch it

don't talk to me about wasting time

you can just shut up you know

I kinda understood half of the things you said, but i run DietPi on mine.

It has 64-bit support, you can update the os without resetting everything, still based on the original kernels for the closed source optimizations, but removes all the clunky and slow parts, leaving a very lightweight and fast os.

Plus, for newbies (like me) it has a decent built-in installer for various software with minimal ulterior setup required.

You can download it from F-Droid or use the F-Droid release flavour when downloading from github, but IMO they should be removed from all releases
