Ironically, it’s the innocent-looking white boxes that are hellspawn devices of pure evil that will wiretap your house, force you into a subscription service and have a 2-year planned obsolescence timebomb in it.

Meanwhile anything that resembles an arachnid will let you do whatever you want, support every imaginable open standard, and work with community firmware that will still be supported a decade later.

Mines a small box with two ethernet cables that connect to the switch. Its amazing. It has no wifi built in and as a result I don’t have to worry if my stove ore refrigerator is between it and my bedroom.

I like the UFO and Coke can designs personally.
