Should I replace my @ubiquiti.bsky.social UniFi G5 Bullet with the G6 Bullet or the AI-Pro?

Anyone has any experience with either of those? Which one do you like or want and why?

Had a great time this week at @techorama.bsky.social Netherlands!

Not only was I part of the crew, but I also did 2 sessions and got to host 2 Techorama TV slots where I had great discussions with wonderful people.

Thank you everyone for coming and who made this all possible! See you next year!

No more re-entering parameters everytime you deploy: they’re cached + reused locally. It also lays the groundwork for managing state in our new pipelines feature.
