TBH, haven't gone into anything deeper than a ping and jitter benchmarks, so not terribly in depth or long-term besides occasional tests out of curiosity. ATT fiber 300 up/down provides 4 ms consistent ping to google's closes

That sounds like a good "happy spot" and doesn't veer in hobby territory IMO. More like an interest. In retrospect, I lied a bit about not missing pfSense (or OPNSense in your case) because truthfully I miss the monitoring, p

Had a similarly convoluted network for some years... over time you realize it's just pointless to waste time maintaining and troubleshooting said setup. Today it's ISP router + separate AP (better coverage). Chinese hackers aren&#

I imagine usability might've changed over time, but in my default Ubuntu DE I can't run an app as Admin via a "Run As" option. Have to delve into config files to change either shortcut properties or to manually create a

My most memorable VR experiences were a jellyfish/turtle scene and a closeup of a whale, among several games and apps I tried with my headset some years ago. Games were fun enough, some good, some not. The visual, non-interactive exper

Sudo is unusable in a GUI. Simple as that. It's unintuitive to create a user with sudo rights, and it is unintuitive to run a program with admin rights in a DE. Vista upgraded the security expectations, although rather harshly compared

What horrible mistake was made with UAC prompting? The alternative is admin-privileged programs do not run. See Linux and sudo for an actual terrible decision in privilege escalation in terms of desktop usage.

Tried Win11 and reverted back to 10 within a day. Gonna give it another shot soon with start menu patching, I guess. At least MS has a revert-back feature. There are some minimal benefits in scheduling threads on big.LITTLE Intel processors

Openly an AMD fanboy, but this year's offerings by Intel were too good to pass up in comparison, as I was due for an upgrade. Same with NVIDIA - instead of AMD went with them. It's good to have competition in the market.

Is it really co-development if it's the same device lacking a GSM radio?

I can understand why some people want something physical/tangible while testing or playing in their hobby environment. I'm still a fan of virtualization - passmark scores for an RPi4 (entire SOC/quad core) are 21 times less t

My introduction to the Internet as an immigrant back in 1996 was hugely thanks to accommodating librarians at the middle school I attended. Netscape on a 486 running Win 3.11 was not ideal, but it's also where I created my first websit

I know you're being facetious, but here's some fun stats from archive.org. A few highlights from the Petabox storage system: No Air Conditioning, instead use excess heat to help heat the building. Raw Numbers as of December 2021:

I took advantage of one of those deals a year+ ago that amounted to a few bucks a month (3 or 4 I think) and when it comes time to renew, 15 USD is a steal for the value of games. Wholly agree, Game Pass is a game changer. With the studio p

Wow, thank you for the link. Somewhat disappointed that the Razer Viper Ultimate, which advertises lower than wired latiences, is on the low end of overpriced mice, but as a new owner, the lightness of it is night and day with every other m

A basic HOTAS (T.Flight HOTAS One) is 65$ USD right now at Best Buy and works with PC as well. Makes a huge difference for such a small price, but it's very entry level. I assume you know this already, so it's more of a PSA for an

Surprised to see Systemax/TigerDirect and the Fiorentino brothers, who were convicted of embezzlement, security fraud and tax evasion, wasn't mentioned. Perhaps because they didn't outright scam customers. (although I do thin

I haven't either and I've played Dark Souls. A cursory search on YT will yield tons of results and inform you best. Watching someone try and fail to beat a boss 20 tries later is not conducive to wanting to play it, personally. I

Under no circumstances did I claim that "all those people looking for a better life" as "slave labor". I asked an open ended and relatively rhetorical question. Is 1% acceptable in your book vs. the majority of the workf

A weird example of false equivalency, as no one would in their right mind compare helping a human being doing their job with helping a robot assist in increasing profit margins for <insert random corporation>. Jebus...

Your insipid examples imply improvement, whereas these "robots" imply "needing help from the general public". My argument stems from a different angle, but yours fails completely.

While the end result is inevitable, I am in no rush to automate all of humanity to its detriment. Socially/culturally/economically no civilization on Earth is advanced enough to provide for their people when faced with the above.

Robots are also more functional. What's your cut off for accepting this nuisance and detriment?

How many of those expats are working slave-like conditions, is the greater point that ought to be discussed. (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Philippines, Iraq, you name it). If 10 percent of the country's population is native, they are s

The funniest/strangest/saddest angle I've encountered on this thread so far is regarding disabled people potentially not getting their food... as if human delivery was somehow not an option.

If one is engaged in a protest, the inconvenience of having food delivered to a random person via robots is the least of their concerns. Seems like a silly hilly to fight on.
