Because those Americans are entitled, insecure, ignorant, xenophobic assholes.

Walter watches Jesse’s girlfriend Jane choke on her own puke as she’s overdosing and does nothing to help her.

He was sneaking around in their home and did not want to risk getting caught, so he almost intervened, but then decides against it, and regrets doing nothing as she dies in front of him.

He later reveals this to Jesse during a conflict.

From Jesse’s perspective, he had just woken up and she was dead, choked on her own vomit.

Walter tells him he watched it happen and essentially admits that he could have helped.

Yup. That was Grade-A bullshit from the seller. People will say anything to try to sell you a “superior” product.

Just to add a bit of discussion on the modem vs. modem + router thing. I know it’s a pain to have to get two devices; cost is higher; also two things to worry about hooking up/configuring.

At my previous place I bought a Motorola modem in 2012 or so. I kept that modem for 10 years and it chugged along delivering the speeds I paid for. Because it simply had an Ethernet port on the back of it, it meant that I went through 3 or 4 routers in that period. Some were replaced because I got a router for free from a friend and wanted to install custom firmware. Some were swapped in because the previous one failed, and the last one was added because I upgraded to a Ubiquiti Edge Router and two separate WAPs.

None of this would have been possible with a combo device.

Again, I’m not trying to convince you or anyone else that this is a path for everyone, just adding a different way of viewing the two devices situation. It offers you flexibility and plug-ability.
