Even for a post-mortem Crichton film and story?
Have you seen what they did to Jurassic Park? I mean, Timelines was bad enough (unless you’re desperate for Paul Walker eye candy), and that was while he was still alive. So bad that he didn’t have another movie writer’s credit until he’d been dead for 7 years.
Yes but not the 5¢ deposit if you are in CT-HI-IA-ME-MA-NY-OR-VT. MI 10¢. CA CRV.
Strapping you and your almost-ex-wife onto some random pipe in a barn so you can both get sucked up by an F5 tornado?
I’d say that’s worth it.
Nah, Windows XP and 7 get a pass. These were solid consumer OS’s.
You go back 30 years and you’re at Windows 95 (holy shit) and the beginning of massive home PC adoption.
I don’t feel they got hostile towards users until probably midway through Windows 10 lifecycle. The first half wasn’t that bad, aside from changing up 20+ years of muscle-memory…but Gnome did that, too.
Having someone to complain to/point fingers at/sue is incredibly important in the business world, and a big part of why M$ is so big.
In fact, just having support is a big thing. Look at how shitty M$ support is. Or Cisco, for that matter.
Not to mention a steady, predictable, accountable release cadence.
If you want that, in the Linux world, it’s basically Ubuntu/Canonical, RedHat/IBM, or Oracle/Oracle.
I’d call Canonical the lessest of 3 evils here…
Do they accept Walmart gift cards?
I really want to convert my pixel but I’m so damn lazy.
Mostly worried about losing TOTP apps and configurations. I really should be backing those up.
In OpenWRT, I believe it’s in the settings for the “primary” ssid on each radio, which is usually the first one in the list (per radio) on the wireless settings page.
Openwrt also has options to block multicast or convert to unicast. Also make sure you are disabling lower speeds on the radio. That will reduce your max range, but devices that communicate slowly are another killer.
Broadcast and multicast both have to go at the ssid basic rate…the slowest speed supported by the AP. That could be 1Mbps. And then the AP has to repeat it. And depending on the type of traffic, this may also initiate more broadcasts from other devices on the network.
So if you can reduce broadcast/multicast, or increase the minimum speed, you’ll have significantly more time. Since wireless is a shared medium, “time” is really the most critical resource.
Other people’s wifi can affect yours, and vice versa, if they are occupying the same channel(s).
Most likely something on that channel is spamming multicast. That kills most consumer wifi routers (in default settings). Usually something like a sonos or Google home broadcast group.
Could also be a camera that’s constantly transmitting, also occupying the channel for a long time.
But really, it could be anything.
Use an app like PingTools (Android) that can graph what is on each wifi channel. Check to find the cleanest channels in your area and configure your router to use that channel.
Failing that, if it’s on your network and you don’t know what it is…change your Wi-Fi password to kick everything off, then slowly re-add devices with the new password until you find the culprit.

Also, you may be able to get better speeds by using narrower channels. Especially in busy areas. Easier to find 40-80MHz of clean spectrum than it is to find 160MHz. And even easier if you are open to using DFS channels (but these should generally be avoided). Doubling channel-width also doubles the noise, adding 3dB to the bad side of your SNR.
What causes speed drops and packet loss is almost always interference/weak signal. Getting high packet loss on an 80 or 160Mhz channel will be slower than a solid, clean signal on a 40MHz channel.
If you are closing your laptop, don’t. The antennas are usually located in the monitor bezel and are intended to be vertically-oriented, like they would if you were using the laptop. Having it shut means a lot of the signal is directed into the laptop chassis and your desk, which would especially impact upload from the device.
But also don’t look at our advertisements.
I got a 3 day ban for suggesting Venezualans “return the favor” on Trump.
Victoria would have made sure he was whitelisted.
And certainly wouldn’t be selectively enforced anyway. This is 100% “rules for thee not for me” shit.
Like if they get debanked for “religious” or “political” reasons (esp. when they are the ones politicizing literally everything), it’s a crime.
Things that they consider political but sensible people consider “human rights”, tho? They sleep.
AI is in the tool chain now whether you want it or not.
People who don’t use new tools get stuck behind.
If you find a carpenter who is bashing his nails in with a rock because he doesn’t trust hammers, or because blacksmithing is bad for the environment, you are going to be dealing with a shitty carpenter who is a lot slower and less effective than one who learned how to use a hammer.
The genie is out of the bottle. That much is not changing. Accept it, or be a Luddite. Quite literally, because that term comes from people who refused to accept that machines were taking over textile work.
Denial is the most predictable of all human responses.
Dude OG Xbox was GOAT for emulation and entertainment. Kodi got its start there, as xbmc.
I’d be so excited to have that again.
Does this apply to X|S or just Xbone?
Was there some generative AI that was making original Seinfeld episodes? What’s the deal with that?
Post-nut clarity.
Oh no, is that what they’re doing?
They’re convincing incels to nofap?
I never really thought about the overlap but you’re totally right on that.
God, that explains so much.
My dudes, rub your dick for a bit before you listen to Trump. Trust me on this. You need that pent-up PNC now in order to realize how batshit insane he is.
That’s pretty cool but I did say ‘nearly’ :-)
I would love to see a series of comics featuring Uncle Sam and Auntie Fay as like, a modern Archie and Edith. Or maybe as bitter divorcees but Sam is always shooting himself in the foot and blaming it on his ex-wife Fay, but she’s logical and always catches him in his own trap with some sort of clever fourth-panel punchline.
