    This is what I was looking into recently. I just want to replace my shitty Spectrum router.

    I was looking at Topton N150s on AliExpress, but $250+(tax/shipping) is terrible, with no RAM.

    I saw people using the Lenovo m720q/m920q with a pcie 4 port, so I’m leaning towards that.

    We’re about to get fiber in the next year or two, so I want to get something that can handle 1g up and down.

    There’s a lot of options, none perfect, but none terrible.


  • Not trying to be “pro America” here, but whenever I see these stories I read the article and nobody ever mentions how much in taxes they pay as a US Citizen abroad.

    Because right now, you pay zero income tax until you make $130k or more. If you make under that, you file and you get the foreign exclusion credit. And that’s for a single individual. If you’re married and you both work, it’s double at $260k.

    And if you use a service like FreeTaxUSA, you can file for free federally.

    I just did my taxes and it cost me $20.

    There is zero reason to renounce your US Citizenship unless you’re making a fuck load of money and have zero plans on ever coming back to the USA.
