SFP28 is indeed 28Gbit just like 1gbit transceiver is NOT actually 1gbit. Look at the transceiver itself it will say a number larger than 1000 or 1024. I think it's like 1.12 or something like that. I don't remember someone will correct me because they know what it actually says and theyll try to infer that means they also knew why 25Gbit SFP28 is called SFP28 instead of 25 but they didn't make the connection till I mentioned the raw speed of a 1gbit transceiver.

Nothing beats the Logitech Harmony remotes. Eeeeexcept once the Logitech starts going, and gets glitchy, then something "not quite as good" can actually be better. My wife dropped our Harmony in the bedroom one too many times, and it's not super reliable anymore. The Sofabaton U2 has come in as a fairly viable replacement. It's missing some things, but it's getting better. Some things will need new hardware, others might be accomplished via software updates. First and foremost, if you have not yet cut the cord, there are some serious missing buttons. Exh A: There's no "Record" button. Like if you want to record a show to your DVR. There's no "List" to view the list of recorded shows, or "Guide" to show the live TV grid. There's no skip (vs FF). Sometimes you can reprogram unused buttons to take the place, but (a) some devices don't leave a lot of unused buttons, and (b) those buttons are rarely ideally placed. This made this a non-starter for my in-laws and parents, both of whom still heavily use their DVRs (cable and satellite). We were excited to try a viable replacement, but they quickly ran into a wall with those important missing buttons. If you have cut the cord, however, the more minimalist buttons (not as extreme as the X1 which sadly is out of the running... I need physical buttons!) likely meet *most* needs. The fewer and simpler your device lineup, the more likely it is to work and work well. Macros are nice but some actual activity based controls would be nicer, especially in terms of recovery when one device or another misses a command, which seems to happen annoyingly often. As another commenter pointed out, the ability to SAVE a configuration would be huge, along with being able to copy a setup to another remote. As it is now if you have to reset for any reason, you can't just restore, you're starting from scratch. Hope you remember all the settings tweaks you made over time! This is already a good remote. It wouldn't take much more to make it really great, however.

U2 is frustratingly ALMOST there ... needs ... (a) ability to backup/restore. Can take a while to program, if it resets ... got to do it ALL again (b) ability to copy one remote to another as a starting point ... otherwise ... repetition! (c) macro's only 4 commands long? I mean, come on, really?? (At least 10 needed)

Looking forward to that part 2 audio video. Also do you have any wisdom on 4k uhd players and the pros and cons of fiscal media over streaming?
@BuzStringer
@BuzStringer 21 день назад
Hi, good question, yes so 4K Blu-ray disks are always going to be higher quality than streaming, and will offer full uncompressed Dolby Atmos (if the content is mastered in Atmos). Atmos on all the streaming services is compressed. The Video bitrate from a disk is much higher than streaming so the video will look better in most cases. It will be this way for a good number years. with Standard HD and non 4K Blu-ray there isn't much difference to streaming anymore. Streaming is more convenient than having loads of disks, that's pretty much all it has. I'll go into more technical detail in the Q&A part 3, but I really liked this question

Very nice explanation of this remote. Maybe I missed it, but how do you select INDIVIDUAL CHANNELS while watching TV?? For instance, my Harmony has a key pad on it, so I can go from channel 702 to 722 by pushing the numbers. How does this one do that? Thanks for a great video and your time.

Litttle addition , there are adapters SFP+ ( 10 Gbit ) to 40 GBit SFP+ and QSFP+ to Rj45 as well or breakout cables QSFP+ to 4 times SFP+ ( 10 Gbit ) which can use an SFP+ to Rj45 as well You can get used Server QSFP+ Nics very cheap nowadays , you can get a pretty fast NAS with if you can use 4 or 8 Lanes PCiE 3.0 for the NIC card ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5MSk3_kkvK4.html

I picked up a couple of 6 port 2.5G switches for like $35 each. They each have 2 10G capable SFP ports. I figure I can use the 10G lines as a backhaul and then have all the clients on 2.5G, that's plenty for now.

lol I went to add to my cart the moment you said home assistant support but couldn't find it, then saw they're taking preorders for the three at €300 which seemed insane. Then I saw the price for the two's almost €500. I'm sorry, for that price I can get a smartphone that can do all this and more.
@BuzStringer
@BuzStringer Месяц назад
You’re right it is expensive, but the price is in line with other devices, like the Harmony Elite launched for $350 in 2015, So the 3 has serval improvement over the 2, and is cheaper, I have a video on the 3 coming soon. You could get something like a Galaxy A25 for $250, but there’s no physical buttons, and no IR, adding IR will probably cost about $50 with one of the Broadlink devices, and you have to setup everything yourself, which is fine, but will cost you some hours.

Nothing can touch Logitech as long as they have their support still going and they still work I am sticking with them. I know they will eventually close down the servers but hopefully there will be some more alternative by then. Don't think this is the replacement yet, especially if it has a limited database of code.

I am new to this and want to grasp a better understanding. I can understand stacking using two or more switches, but can you stack a router to a switch using SFP? What are the pros and cons about that
@BuzStringer
@BuzStringer Месяц назад
You can, if the router supports SFP. The benefits are only there if the router is doing any switching or being used as a wireless access point, or has a modem connected to it. They are the same benefits as linking two switches. If the router is just holding the DHCP table and not handling another network traffic then there is no benefit, the DHCP table is very low traffic.
