An old PC running pfSense and a Ubiquty AP will do a better job than that thing
shreddedking
this guy knows his security +1
I'm really only just starting out with pfSense to be honest. Using a 4x Intel NIC nano pc with my old router as an AP.
that is still serious security tho. keep it up. remember to use only guest account instead of administrator account on your pc.

A lot of hate against Norton, and I fully agree, but can we also agree that it is very pretty for a router?

As much as I'm not a fan of Norton products, that is a pretty neat physical shell design (also probably done by a third party design firm).

Question, what's the who dismantling weapons and/or gear together. Besides gaining power/light/attack, what's the main purpose. Destiny2 ftw
Silencor
Since no one answered, the point of infusing is just to gain light levels. Light levels get you access to higher level activities.

Important note, Dawnbreaker scales with your level. But so do enemies, so it may be worth it to wait a few levels.

The Dawnbreaker sword is always one of my favourites: do it.

You get Dawnbreaker which causes undead to explode, thus making other drauger run away in fear. It's one of my favorite swords to use.

Yeah it's kinda short and it's not bad.
ArcherA10
You do realize Dawnbreaker is the best weapon in the game, right?
dayglo98
Best against undead maybe
Ok, I guess that's what I'm doing today.
You get a kinda sick ass fire sword at the end, and some neat flying action while she chats you up. If you're interested yes! Otherwise no

Windows 7 and newer already have built-in antivirus / antimalware. There is no reason to pay for a third-party antivirus.

One way would be poisoning ARP to make AV's update from an attacker's machine instead of the server
An AV is basically a root kit with a huge attack surface. A virus that attacks the AV itself gains complete control of the machine.

Use ublock origin in addition to adblock.
Windows defender does do a reasonable amount of good, but adding in malwarebytes doesnt hurt.
A virus does a lot more than 'slow down your pc and annoy you'. Sure, there's some bogus viruses. But those are cute in comparison.
