  • If the remaining people

    According to the article around 180000 left which is around 2.5% of the population of Hong Kong 7.2 million. There basically wasn’t that many people who emigrated to cause a shift in perception.

    As many have suspected it was the issue of cost of living that caused the protest. Now with easy access to more affordable goods & services across the border, the problem mostly fixed itself. If you relied on outside media narratives convincing you otherwise, you would come to the wrong conclusion.

    To quote Steve Jobs

    People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.








  • After some research, it seems there is a huge mark up for consumer grade routers outside of China.

    For example a Asus ax6000 router with dual 2.5Gb ports cost only cost only $110 in china while a similar version I can get locally cost $300. Also there seem to be a local forum thread discussing those routers from and perhaps I am beter served finding answers there.

    Also I tried pfsense some time ago with only Gigabit NIC and eventually repurposed the machine as a hypervisor. Maybe I can go back to pfsense but considering I need to get a 2.5Gb network card and the power requirements required for a software router to route 2.5G internet I am not too keen.
