Good guess! I did enable some QoS algorithm in openwrt so it's certainly possible. But yeah it doesn't make sense that wifi traffic was non-impacting. But it's something I didn't try turning off.

My only unsolved networking mystery was that my computer would experience high packet loss when a Roku in the other room was streaming Netflix. My PC and the roku device were both wired to two different ports on a router (iirc an Edgerouter

When I was a kid I recall my cousin upgrading his computer to 1 or 2 MB so that we could get some extra features when playing Wing Commander 1. That was 1990. 35 years later, burner phones regularly come with 4 GB of RAM these days. 3 o

I get vibe coding a feature or news story or whatnot but how do you go about not even checking if the thing actually works, or fact checking the blog post?

I appreciate that I can choose to decorate my house as I see fit. At least on my Pixel 10 there's way too much google this and google that. I guess if you're deep into the ecosystem it's a value add but for me a custom laun

This itself could be a bot argument casting doubt on reddit. It's an endless cycle. If bots reference real sources it's still a valid argument.

Love the art, not the artist. I loved reading the Belgariad as a young teen and was shocked upon learning more about the author as an adult.

My gut says there's something like an inverse-square law that governs how far away they can effectively charge.

It's a balance between allowing linux and (theoretically) opening the door for more cheaters. Saying "players can't play our game because every match has a cheater" is just as bad. I can't say which has more weight

I don't think AI reduces cost of marketing in any significant way. Everybody has access to these tools so at best it just allows marketing companies to employ fewer ad-creation teams to pump out the same amount of advertisements. Push

For casual use I use lightroom web and it's good enough for me, if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend. I'm sure for some workflows it isn't sufficient but for basic edits and raw development it works quite well.

Is that bad? I black-hole plenty of sites via pihole above and beyond the typical adblock lists. On a very few rare occasions I have turned off the pihole to unblock a site because I was curious after following a link that was blocked by s

I'm all for dogfooding but if you work for a bicycle company it shouldn't mean you can't drive to work. The right tool for the right job.

In my experience hotels throttle wifi connection per device (IP/Mac address or whatever) and so you'd be better off using something that can use the wired connection in your room (which is usually unthrottled or has higher bandwid

"It's not just X, it's Y" I find it really hard to read articles that use AI slop aphorisms. Please use your own words, it matters.

Far be it from me to tell automakers how to roll out software but I would expect them to have relatively slow and gradual rollouts, segmented by region and environment (e.g., Phoenix might be first while downtown London might be last).

Windows went through a pendulum swing of integrating touch (I think they ended up in a place where they expect users to use more of a multi-modal approach instead of touch-only). I suspect Mac is going through the same thing right now as ip

I think a lot of techies would be surprised with how much some users embrace their products. We see and know the man behind the curtain, other people believe in the magic.

While that's true even today there really isn't a product that wraps that API that is as simple to use as any of the major chat applications. I've used OpenUI and it's fine but it's incredibly fiddly to configure

This doesn't make any sense. If you make a thing, the price you set for selling that thing in a country has little to do with where you happen to be living when you made that thing.

Interestingly enough if you change the filter to "US" and rewind the data to 1950 (it looks like that's how far this graph goes), if you advance up by 5 years you can see the "bulge" of baby boomers age up into reti

It all depends on what you want to do. If you want to get started cheaply the kit lens is more than enough. Prime lenses will have larger apertures that can give you more creative options. How close do you want to stand? Indoor/outdo

I should look at iOS again - every so often I try something like this in Android and people commonly suggest Tasker, but it's such a PITA to write anything in Tasker that I usually abandon the project.

A lot of aspirational tech was consumed by builders. I dare you to find a nerd who has watched Star Trek and hasn't once thought "wouldn't it be cool if I could interact with the computer with my voice", or "using
