uBlock has filters to block notifications, also for virtual assistant popups, notifications and other annoyances. You just need to enable them in the settings.

Both, I would like the two devices to not talk with and see anything in my personal network. I have a VLAN option on my router, but not sure if it is advanced enough for me to be able to achieve what I want. I can't set up subnets on the router panel.

I'm not able to set the IP manually on those two devices, I don't have that option. Those two devices are what I use for work, and I would like to keep them separate from the rest of my home network.

My bad, I forgot to mention that the ISP provided router does not allow me to assign the devices IPs that are outside the current subnet. Edited the post for clarity. Are you aware of any routers that would allow me to do that? Preferably with OpenWRT support?

I think getting a better router to replace the crap one from my ISP might be a better move.

 

As the title alludes, I have two devices that I would like to connect to my LAN (a TC - wired; and a phone - wireless), but I would want them to be connected to a separate subnet, so they wouldn't communicate with the rest of my LAN.

Currently I have those two wirelessly connected via my router through a guest network, which automatically assigns them on a different subnet, but the router (provided by my ISP) is pretty crap, and the wifi networks either drop, or have bandwidth issues quite frequently. Unfortunately, due to the router not being the best, it doesn't allow me to assign IPs for those two devices that are outside the LAN subnet.

I would like to be able to connect the TC via ethernet instead, to guarantee the best connection, and perhaps link the phone with a separate wifi network, or perhaps just use data connection, thus taking it out of the LAN completely.

To achieve this I was thinking of getting a second router (second hand perhaps), flash OpenWRT on it, and use it to connect just those two devices.

Another option I've heard of would be to use a managed switch which allows me to set it up to connect devices on another IP class.

Could anyone let me know what would be the best and affordable option for this purpose?

Thank you in advance!

Right you are, thank you!

Thanks for the answer~

The company is pretty large and well-known around the world. And this was labelled as an ESPP. The problem is that I can't exactly discern if this is a worthy investment, considering my inexperience. Could you let me know what should I look out for?

Thanks for the advice.

I'm not particularly young, but I'm now at one point in my life where I am on the upturn financially, and I was thinking of making my money do more for me.

WSB = ?

Any tips on going with a growth fund? What should I look into?

 

As the title mentions, the company I work at is offering free shares when buying back some of the company's shares, as well as a discount, depending on the amount of shares purchased.

Could any of you advise me if it would be a good idea to start investing into this? If not, could anyone suggest any other investment avenues to a complete n00b like me?

Thanks in advance!
