<kris_>i don't want that machine on the same network as the rest of my stuff
<kris_>and windows 7 outright wont connect to a network that's in wpa2/wpa3 compatibility mode
<riteo>that makes a lotta sense lol
<kris_>so i have to just drop to wpa2
<riteo>that stuff is one day going to be like unpatched win xp
<riteo>plug in the internet, explodes
<kris_>try telling him that :p
<kris_>i do what i can with really strict firewall rules
<riteo>perhaps you could try installing a vm on linux for autodesk stuff
<kris_>ive gone through all of the potential solutions with him and he just won't so
<riteo>aight
<kris_>it's kinda at the point where i'm like "alright bro i guess ill buy a bunch of network gear we don't need"
<kris_>so the issue rn is that i have zero vlan support
<kris_>anyway
<riteo>well if that's the only thing I genuinely believe that you could just put the old router in AP mode into one vlan
<riteo>and like everything else with whatever AP you find
<riteo>no reason to buy a fancy AP if that's all you need IMO
<riteo>KISS :P
<kris_>the machine i'm picking up to be a router is kinda ridiculous lol
<kris_>4c8t first gen ryzen, 8gb of ram, it's a thin client with a pcie slot
<kris_>hp t740
<riteo>how much did that cost
<kris_>$90
<riteo>crazy
<kris_>brand new too
<riteo>we have seriously solved computers
<riteo>that's too much power for $90
<kris_>companies offload them by the hundreds on ebay
<kris_>like specifically the hp t740
<riteo>I mean, getting anything weaker would cost more so, at this point
<riteo>that's not that ridiculous ig
<kris_>nic i'm getting is an intel x540-t2
<kris_>$20 10 gig dual port nic
<kris_>it's insane
<riteo>wtf
<riteo>last time I checked stuff costed a crapton
<riteo>for 110 you get something better than most routers
<riteo>that's crazy
<kris_>it's powerful enough that i totally could put XYZ distro on it and run kvm VMs for all of my network stuff
<kris_>routing is incredibly cheap and i only have gigabit
<kris_>i would just get a gig nic if it wasnt also $20
<riteo>lmao
<riteo>this whole setups really says something
<kris_>what's that
<riteo>no I mean like the "computers are solved" thing I said before
<kris_>o
<riteo>want to get a cheap pc: get a monstrous thing
<riteo>want to get a chea pnic: get 10 fcking gbits
<kris_>yeah its kind of insane how much compute for basically nothing
<riteo>that's really cool
