Specifically Native American Alaskans (i.e. those with a tribal ID)

Alaska's healthcare system kinda works like that, but only for Alaska Natives.

I'm admittedly not much of a networking expert, but you might be able to improve your existing network by running Ethernet backhaul for your mesh network (assuming your access points support it).

Regarding whether you would benefit from a router like that: I've only got a 25Mbps connection, so my main use case for it is using ZeroTier to access various services on my local network, more advanced firewall controls, and the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports for connection between my main PC and home server.

I recently switched from my ISP's combo device to a GL-inet Flint 2 (https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt6000/);;) no complaints with it thus far, and I've enjoyed some of the quality of life features it's got built into it.

Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.

Unlocked, brand new direct from the Google Store. They emailed me a coupon code for being on the Google Assistant mailing list that gave me an extra $150 off, and it stacked with a $100 discount they were already running (so $250 off total). I'm a self-admitted headphone jack enthusiast, but the price was just too good to pass up.

Just got a Pixel 8 (256 GB) for $510 a few weeks ago. I'm good with that, thanks.

Still skeptical here as well, but it's at least a step in the right direction. I still do not plan to have any Ring products anywhere near my place anytime soon.

I have to say, I was really impressed by how well the Pixel 7a did. At $400 now, that's a great (somewhat) cheap option for folks, though I do wish its battery life was a bit better...

I've got a Pixel 8 non-Pro on the way, so I'm excited to see how it performs compared to my old Galaxy S9 :P

Welcome to the club!

The only game I can’t play is rocket league.

Have you tried it on Heroic Games Launcher yet? I play RL from time to time with a buddy, and both of us have gotten it to work without any notable issues via Heroic.

I really hope they fix the issue with the picture-in-picture video not staying over top of all other windows; that's the only thing keeping me from using Wayland Firefox right now.

You might be on to something there; I'll have to give that a look!
