I bought a mikortik router aimed at small offices and can't complain about it's reliability. A general suggestions is to shop in a higher category than home use.

The idea is there's a categorisation of products that goes: home, office, enterprise, industrial. Reliablity and price goes up accordingly. Take this with a pinch of salt.


I found a lot of humor in your anecdote that the light sensor had to be replaced.

In a similar vein, a family member had a hardware issue in their laptop where some keys would not register some of the time (moisture). Their understanding was that they did not press hard enough for the device to register the press. This confusion between the boundaries of electronic and mechanical problems led to some mocking.

If your anecdote can be taken at face value - they could find some respite in the fact that by pressing the keys too hard they could damage some peripheral electronic parts.


I can dig deeper behind my face. It was a Volvo 850. After the incident the brake lights kept on. I had to repair the car twice. The first responding mechanic had a single sensor that sort of fitted. A few days later I had my regular mechanic replace it with the stock double sensor. IIRC this model has one sensor for the brake lights and one for the cruise control.


Well, we have to ask to share the story "talking about license deals when talking about a VC investment"

Contrary to most commenters, I'd believe there might be an audience for this.

All the rivalry and shady tricks on Spotify suggest that the competition to get attention as an emerging artist is huge.

What you mentioned about dropbox and screen recording was a great observation. I would double down on the niche and see how else are artist trying to gain an edge when promoting.

I think we here don't really appreciate how narrow the average online producers' technical expertise is.


Hey, thanks for the feedback and helpful advice. It's good that you mentioned attempts to "hack the Spotify algorithm". As an artist I can say that's really common, especially for aspiring artists.

And the thing about technical expertise of music producers: people commented about downloading open source visualizers and all that stuff is "easy to do" which is in reality it isn't, because it's hard to nerd and dive onto tech stuff when you work on music.


For any Kobo (as well as Kindle & PocketBook) owners considering stock firmware alternatives, there's also [KOReader](http://koreader.rocks/)


KOReader is fantastic!

Technically it's not really a firmware replacement, but an application on top of it (implementing pretty much all e-book related features).

There's even an Android version, which is how I use it on my Boox tablet.
