Hello everyone!
Today's video is the third installment of L1's Internet Of Things series. In this video Wendell talks about how ridiculous Google is and their jank thermostats, as well as it being a shame that there are no standards in place for these devices.

Wendell wanted me to tell you:
I've been a little forlorn with Ubiquiti stuff lately (especially for high-end home/soho stuff) so I thought I'd get EnGenius a try. They're Senao hardware with EnGenius special sauce and branding. I am very impressed with the hardware, so far, but the software has a bit to go. Full review of the ECW120, ECW240 and PoE+ switch ECS1112FP and PoE++ switch ECS2512FP coming soon.

This is a somewhat in progress video about ZFS improvements that are meant to make SSDs more useful in ZFS systems. We used some diagrams from the internet but they aren't a perfect match for what we're talking about. This is kind of complex stuff (tbh it's kind of over my head), but we thought it was interesting enough to give you guys a peek!
