gollark: No.
gollark: it's better than the £10 WiFi adapter which doesn't actually work.
gollark: On that note, I'm copying some files over really slow powerline LAN, and the syncing tool I'm using complains about some hash mismatches. I'm beginning to worry that that LAN connection has been corrupting data very occasionally and slightly and I just haven't noticed.
gollark: it's a "server" now.
gollark: Meaning it could serve almost as fast as my regular x86 desktop hardware.
