This is stupid clickbait title, and the article isn't even very precise. Yes, that whole fritz.box situation is known and bad. But the problem discussed here doesn't nearly apply to every situation. Specifically, the box's builtin resolver (which is still used by default by a lot of things) knows not to forward fritz.box requests to the outside. That is, `dig google.com.fritz.box` and everything else say NXDOMAIN when you're using the builtin DNS.

I could get over the perf but the power consumption is rough.
It seems strange that the USB hub is using so much power. From a (leaked?) data sheet I don’t see any way to disable it - but it does have firmware which can be updated? There is also a 5V-3.3V LDO built in so I wonder if that may be what is dissipating so much power.
The AMS1153 looks like a similar story…
Yup, something is strange there. There are 14in x86 laptops that consume 7W or 8W in idle (with the screen turned on but on minimal brightness).
Given the title I really wanted this to be a small and portable graphviz reimplementation...

Reminds me a little of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Impact_Demonstratio... which deliberately crashed an airplane. The fuel contained an additive that was supposed to limit the post-crash fire, but wasn't as effective as hoped for.
I read "Stunning designs in Flash" at first, and it almost made sense.
rsync at it again?
This has made much faster systems not being able to process packets at line speed. A classic was that standard Gigabit network cards and contemporary CPUs were not able to process VoIP packets (which are tiny) at line speed, while they could easily download files (which are basically MTU-sized packets) at line speed.
