Episode 318: Ask Noah Show 318
Ask Noah Show
Is There a Wi-Fi Duopoly?
Norm writes in to ask about his family's Wi-Fi setup. Norm: "My folks tend to be old country farmhouse in a rural area" Steve, what are your thoughts for Norm? I do if you were in Norm's house and you were trying to get coverage of 5000 square feet.
Have you ever thought of an object you'd like to have but for one reason or the other it didn't exist? It's easier now than ever to get into 3D printing! We give you our take on the SteamDeck and we talk funding for Matrix!
