I do love it when a telecom exceeds expectations. Shout out to rural TN provider United.net (Seemingly not on bsky; they're over on the Nazi place. :-( )

This is local copper. I get "only" 1300 mbps wifi w/ wind at my back.

(P.S. disconnecting service at 8am on the day of upgrade is NOT cool!)

We're finally starting to see ESP32-P4 boards hit lower-price markets. www.waveshare.com/esp32-p4-wif... costs less than the shipping (grrr!) and is faster and has more RAM and flash than the common $6 ESP32-S3-N8R16. Dedicated off-board chip for radios.

Two 32-bit 400Mhz cores. USB2. LGTM

Sharing from Android, but "http://share.Google" links make you mad?
1. Launch the Google app.
2. Punch your own face.
3. Hammer Other settings
4. Turn off Shorten Links, as below.
5. Be mad at Google. Their own goo.gl Link shortener EOL is next month. So NOW they insert themselves in my links?

It is a fair criticism that Espressif makes too many things named "ESP32" that are too hard to tell apart.

They've recently added a product comparator. You can choose specific ones and you can suppress things that are the same in all of the choices.
