Thats good info for low spec laptops. Thanks for the software recommendation. Need to do some more research on the model you suggested. I think you confused me for the other guy though. Im currently working with a six core ryzen 2600 CPU and a RX 580 GPU. edit- no worries we are good it was still great info for the thinkpad users!
I have been interested in mesh networks for a long while but I want to connect with other peoples mesh networks and access public websites on the protocol without an ISP . Like a mesh router box I pay for one time and connect via radio or something and access a very basic Usenet or early 2000s lean design internet. Is it possible?
