  • And what is in the closet?

  • Wtf dude, that was the example you provided, and then you mocked it. Make up your mind. If it was a shitty example, why did you use it?

    What would be a good example of things people commonly want and have access to but that wireless cant do?

  • Dude, what you're describing is not a "good setup overall".

    I know I'm not sweaty, but what you're talking about goes beyond being "sensitive" or not. Wtf is wrong with your wifi that you're getting any packet loss.

    I just ran a speed test multiple times from my phone in another room, and got jitter under 20ms, and packet loss between 0% and 0.1%My gaming PC with external antenna in the same room as my wireless AP is going to get even better results.edit: for kicks i tested my wireless gaming PC too:ping: 2msjitter: 0mspacket loss: 0%

    So I'm curious what kind of performance you're expecting to be noticeable to a casual or even sweaty non-pro player.

  • I mean, beam forming is a pretty common feature of these routers.

  • Not everyone is comfortable drilling walls and installing plates, stripping wires, etc. and CAT cables aren't like simple copper electrical wires.

    And not everyone wants to have cables running along their floorboard and up their stairs

  • I eat my pizza rolls cold, like a savage

  • I've been playing FPS exclusively on wireless for almost 15 years (802.11n 5ghz) and stability has been fine unless you set up your access point far away from your gaming PC for some reason.

    Back then you had to get a pretty nice wireless router to do it, but it still worked fine.Now days even relatively cheap routers will let you game just fine unless you set up far away from the AP and you're in a pro tournament.

  • I think you mean stages*

    There are 4 stages of IT guy

  • To be clear, when I said "it isn't" I meant it's not the default.

    I dont really care enough to go dig up hard numbers.

    But the time I'm talking about is after WW2, when the new deal was still going strong, and the top marginal tax rates for people and companies inhibited accumulation of wealth, and incentivized reinvesting profits into the company and workers instead of into exec bonuses and stock buybacks.

    The era had lots of other issues, notably bigotry, and consumer protections, but worker protections were moving in the right direction.

    Heath and safety have kept improving, but employment security has gotten worse because the incentives we had for companies to treat employees well have gone, and put employees at a disadvantageous position when bargaining with their employer

  • I have a withings scale and it's great so far. Like you, I had a Fitbit one, and I find it sucked and was very unreliable.

    It's worth noting that there is a withings home assistant integration

  • Exactly their point, it's not left vs right, it's the ruling class vs the laborers

  • I like the term homological/autological and it's opposite, heterological (words that describe themselves, and words that describe the opposite of themselves, respectively)

    And portmanteau.

  • I've got an OG Hotmail address with my actual name and without any garbage characters.

    I use it for so many things that I can't go change it now. But I've started to use aliases when signing up for online services

  • Let's not get ahead of ourselves here

  • I am shocked by how many people don't know or don't remember the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

  • Since I'm getting downvotes, let me clarify.

    This is the first paragraph of a book, and is the first line of the first episode of the TV series based on the book.

    Y'all arent the aforementioned "real ones" 😒SOS brigade ✊

  • Okay, asking somebody how long they believed in Santa Claus is so stupid, you can't even consider the topic suitable for idle conversation. But if you still wanna know how long I believed in some old fat guy who wears a funky red suit, I can tell you this: I've never believed in him, ever. The Santa that showed up at my kindergarten Christmas festival, I knew he was fake. And I never saw mommy kissing Santa or anything. But I have to say, that even as a little kid, I knew better than to believe in some old man that only worked one day a year. Now, having said that, it wasn't until I got older that I realized that aliens, time travelers, ghosts, monsters, espers, the evil syndicates and the anime/manga/fantasy flick heroes that fight said evil syndicates, were also fake. Okay, I guess I always knew those things were bogus, I just didn't wanna admit it. All I ever wanted was for an alien, time traveler, ghost, monster, esper, evil syndicate, or the hero that fought them to just appear and say "Hey". Unfortunately, reality is a hard road indeed. Yep, you gotta admit, the laws of physics definitely puts a damper on things.

    Real ones know 😏

  • I'm so so on this example specifically.

    Most of Taylor's wealth is in the value of the rights to her songs. The liquid value she gets from those rights she is generally pretty generous with, she pays her employees very well and donated quite a bit of it.

    That said, the bar is on the floor, and even a good billionaire is still pretty bad. She has much to improve
