IMHO it would be truly nice to see more hardware compatibility with FreeBSD, specifically wifi nics. I can only wish for and wait, I do not have *any* skill with drivers and could not attempt writing nor porting them. With regard to 802.11ac, it would require hardware to even test.
So, if those drivers were to appear, we could build our own box, equip it with the wifi hardware of choice, and install OPNsense or some other firewall/router ware and not be dependent upon the whims of a corporation. This is why I have an OPNsense firewall/router as it is, but for wifi to the degree that is obtained from the Comcast/Xfinity Arris box, will have to wait. :/ This also stymies any other pre-built FreeBSD based hardware that includes service and etc, so that it would be almost like buying from the big corps.
I saw something, have a bookmark somewhere too, for some way of censoring phone calls by way of a whitelist I believe, using a raspbery pi of some variation. My dad insists upon answering damn near *every* call that comes in, which does damn nothing but make the spam calls worse or more frequent. It was even mentioned that this will help the spammer (scammer) know that the number is valid and answered by a human, solidifying it as a number to harrass.. but to no avail. What would be best, is if he was the only one to hear all the times the phone rings.. but that won't happen either.
