When discussing Lotus Notes it’s useful to have a good understanding of two perspectives. Some view it as an ugly version of Outlook/Exchange, but those functions were not really the point of it (so comparisons to Outlook/Exchange

OpenWRT is remarkable in how many architectures it supports, with both ARM and RISC-V available. This just happens to be one board and it uses ARM, but it could easily be moved to an official RISC-V one when available with enough support to

There are other uses for WiFi than a home. Office buildings, stadiums, theaters, stores, etc. all often have WiFi available and more people using it. Newer/better WiFi versions are targeted for those kinds of uses.

I’ve never had a cable break like that. Many people just don’t know how to handle cables and treat them like rope without any knowledge of bend radius, internal wire twists, etc. (and don’t care if they crush them).

How is the cable wire “deteriorating”? As long as the physical wire is in good shape, the technology to provide a connection is just fine (especially compared to what you have now). Sure, the cable companies are a pain to deal with, but the

If you’re not trolling, I think you need to learn more about the difference between carbs, other nutrients, and indigestible material. “Carbs” does not mean “anything you can digest” (which seems to be how you’re using it). For all animals,

The presence of fiber alone doesn’t necessarily offer these kinds of health benefits. It largely has to do with the structure of the fiber and if it’s affecting the speed of digestion of the food. A smoothie is far less healthy than the unp

I do not recall “carbs” ever being used to mean “nutritional value”. In fact it’s almost always the opposite, with “empty carbs” (i.e. foods that contain carbs and almost no other vitamins, etc.) being the primary target of campaigns tellin

Powerline is very bad. It generates huge amounts of RF interference and I’m surprised to see it keeps getting recommended here. MoCa is far better as long as coax is available.

by orev 3y ago
Agreed, but it would be helpful to mention the alternative: MoCa. It’s far more reliable, doesn’t have the interference problems, and works in most of the same scenarios where people are looking at powerline (e.g. home networks).
