For the record in case anyone goes back this far in the comments, this exchange did finally push me over the edge and I ordered a new router.

I think I got a headache from it as well. It was really not a great experience. Can't imagine being someone that worked there.

A few years ago, I went into one of those mall stores that sells candles, lotion, etc. I could smell the very first candle I picked up. After that the cacophony of smells was apparently too much for me and I couldn't smell anything at

I have a ~10 year old desktop and a ~5 year old laptop (I think we're due for another upgrade cycle here soon). We got docking stations for the laptops but I just couldn't get used to it, and my desktop was just sitting there stil

Because my family is on Verizon and we have a family plan. And also they have the best coverage for the parts of the US we end up in.

You say that, but attempting to get one that is compatible with Verizon's network is quite challenging, or at least it was a year or two ago when I looked.

I'd guess it will go the other way, but probably that's just wishful thinking. This year has demonstrated quite well I think that old saying "If you trade freedom for safety, you get neither" But I guess I sort of despis

So if I wanted to say put a bunch of sensors in my house to monitor temperature over time without necessarily tying that info to my thermostat or anything, is this ZigBee thing a promising thing to look into?

If it's anything like mine the latch for the lock looks like it could be bypassed pretty easily with a hacksaw.

For those of us not quite as in the know, what exactly is ZigBee?

I probably should get a new router. It's sort of become low priority. The main signal issue is that our router is in the garage next to where our internet comes in. For a few weeks in the spring I was looking at setting up a wired netw

What I've concluded from measuring things on my home network is that my cheapo old router is actually only giving maybe a third of the download speed my ISP is providing me. I'd guess that is the case for a non-trivial subset of t

Maybe uncharitable of me, but it seems like you are just trying to throw in some snark to the discussion rather than contribute anything useful about your perspective. I for one would be interested to hear what you mean by your original com

What exactly is Substack? I asked a few weeks ago if it was the new Medium, and that was apparently the wrong way to ask the question because it got downvoted through the floor.
