Where my wife used to live, there was a telephone cooperative. At the time, they offered DSL internet, but it now looks like they offer fiber also: https://www.mdtc.net/services/internet/

To be fair to metronet, aside from that and some hiccups during the initial install, I've been pretty happy with the service. The speed is fantastic, and it's been fairly reliable. The price keeps slowly going up, but that seems t

Not the person you're asking, but hosting a game server is one example where you probably wouldn't want to go through Tailscale, due to the added latency. A Plex server might be another one if Tailscale has bandwidth limits. (I co

I'm on metronet, which is a new-ish fiber optic ISP. They're exclusively IPv4 and they default everyone to CGNAT unless you call and complain - in that case you get a static IPv4 for free for a year and then $10/month after t

* correction: it's now on Wear OS 3.5 after the recent "upgrade". I'm not sure what it was on before that, but it might have been 3.0.

I have a ticwatch pro 3, and I have mixed feelings about it. I was pretty happy with it early on, but the software was always a little hit-and-mis. In particular the Google voice assistant stopped working a year or so ago, and when they fi

It'd bee neat if we could get a labeling requirement for DRM, similar to "Made in China".

You're probably right about that. Mine hibernates after a few hours, and then it does take a bit longer to be ready to use, but I've never noticed significant battery drain in between usages. My SSD is a SK Hynix P41, which I beli

One more person chiming in to say that I'm really happy with my 13" AMD Framework laptop. It wakes from sleep and reconnects wifi before I'm done opening the lid, I can charge it from either side, the screen is beautiful, it&

I'm not sure where the word "dorking" came from, but it is good to know the AND/OR/NOT search syntax. I figured out NOT on my own a while back, but not the other two.

I think device tree, as opposed to something that can enumerate whatever hardware is present, is part of the reason that you have separate ROMs for every single Android phone. (Whereas a single Linux ISO can run on just about any PC out the

It's a connector for an internal SSD. As others have said, it was probably supposed to read "m.2 2242" which is physically in-between the size of the 2230 drives that the Steam Deck uses and the 2280 ones that most modern des

I expect it's mostly a cost thing, but I can see a couple of scenarios where it could make sense: * >1G internet in a mostly or exclusively wifi home * <=1G internet + a 2.5G LAN, so that ethernet <=> wifi and ethernet<=

I had a similar problem with the power/standby LED on my living room PC, but I fixed it with a resistor to cut the brightness and some capacitors to make it fade out instead of just blinking on and off. I wrote a bit about it in the &q

I'm biased, but I think FullStory is really useful for seeing where people are hitting hiccups when trying to use your software, and you can often tell what they were trying to do, e.g. clinking thr visa icon instead of the credit card

I think it's mostly congress's fault. They told the patent office to basically approve anything that didn't have prior art in the form of an existing patent for the exact same thing .

Yeah, to my view, it's one giant corporation battling another giant corporation, with little regard for end users like me. I suppose Epic is the smaller of the two, so relative to Google, maybe they are the underdog. But compared to me

It looks like it's not specific to Asahi or Firefox - YouTube is limiting resolution on any ARM system, but Chrome on ARM lies and claims to be x86. To be fair, there are a lot of ARM Chromebooks and SBCs that can't really handle

1.5~2x is my normal speed, but sometimes someone just talks slow and I'll go up to 2.25 or even 2.5x. Other times it's a video I've seen before and I'm just trying to find a particular spot - then I might go as high to 3
