What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works) (reddthat.com)

This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

Careful now, they are too old to be secure. I'd switch to TL-WDR4300.

That's what I'm running, though I had issues with it randomly requiring a reset. Installing OpenWrt fixed that problem.

Yup, WDR4300 on OpenWRT is the way to go.

Had that running on my main router until a newer one came along. Now it's still going strong, but as a wifi repeater.
