So sorry, you're right, wifi interference was slowing down the wired ethernet connection on the router that had no wifi. /eot

That's why professionals don't call this "wifi contamination", we call it spectrum utilization/congestion. The problem isn't the number of wifi APs, the impact of beacons (i.e. idle APs) is, while not zero, qu

Dude, how oblivious are you. You're {man,nerd}splaining. Hard. Did you miss the "network engineer" part? Do you think our first step in debugging performance issues seen on wifi would be anything other than grabbing a cable?

Who said free market? Swisscom is 51% government. A government-ish entity is IMHO the most efficient way to do this. You can't have 2 road networks, highway systems, or railway networks. You can have, but it is pointless to, 2 water

I made 4 other points. > 50 states where broadband regulation has been in a decade long battle over jurisdiction Thanks for making my point, all I'm arguing is that Switzerland had the political will while the US doesn't (yet?)

You seem to be making arguments with significantly less of a connection to the actual scenario being discussed. And you're explaining oversubscription to 2 network engineers, one of them having presented at APRICOT and APNIC. I guess

I've been there a bunch, my colleague has lived there. We work in the telco area. My own experiences I would question, his I don't. It's oversubscription. Can I provide citations or proof? No. That's extremely hard to do

The healthcare system is actually one of the few things Switzerland isn't doing that well. It's somewhat "americanized", lots of "extra" insurances for random areas that will only accept you if you're h

I'm sorry, but your stance is completely fing ridiculous. First of all, nobody is saying you need to do the entire US in one go by one approach and one provider. Second, the US has about 30× the GDP of Switzerland. Third, have you lo

Most places in Asia, this is due to massive oversubscription. No relation at all to wireless spectrum.

"Physical AI"? I must've missed the last terminology update patch… (I can see what it's trying to say, but… my brain just refuses this one. AI is a concept, which… just, no.)

The answer is, clearly, Qt. (This isn't even a joke. Assuming you're not going Electron.) Part of the reason here is that it's their main business. They can't afford letting it languish and/or changing direction e

I personally really prefer the "fingerprint" wording for those, but yes. The question is whether there is a workable area on the sliding scale between "too narrowly matching" and "too prone to malfunction/easy

Unfortunately this is a social problem, requiring a social solution, not a technical one. (Which isn't to say that the solution won't involve pressing the fork button. But just pressing that button doesn't solve anything.)

Aside from the risk, I don't understand why you would put your time into it. They can change their stance any minute and your work is just down the drain. I guess you could do it for learning and experience? idk... > kind is the mis

I didn't downvote, but your post sounds like you're implying some kind of tomfoolery, deception, or other hidden reasons. There are very likely none, it just takes time to adapt to a specific enemy, probability slowly increases w

Ah right, it's a bit confusing between the bunch of these. Nonetheless the price tag was only $400M/ea E-7 for the UK in 2019 (usual later price shenanigans not included)

by eqvinox 7mo ago
"On 22 March 2019, the UK Defence Secretary announced a $1.98 billion contract to purchase five Boeing E-7 Wedgetails" Prototype price isn't really that meaningful (Also it's a 767 not a 737, that was the E-3 I think.)

Whether you have specific leadership or not doesn't matter much to (a) having to adapt to the enemy and learn what works, and (b) probability just doing its thing, more chances and so on, and (c) US leadership descending the oceans of

You're talking about a single "dash" on the frame before it goes all white. First question, if it were a laser, would be what exactly are you seeing there? A laser from the side is invisible, there'd need to be dust the

A home network has neither of those, you're running a nerd network. You can set up an mDNS relay, and those devices can use other methods to register their addresses & get DNS updated (DHCPv6, DDNS, random cloud services, etc.).
