Sometimes you just need to do some good old fashioned percussive maintenance. :)

My example: I fixed a wifi interference problem by adding more wifi interference.

I'm currently staying at a family member's house for a few months, and need to use their wifi to work from home. After moving all my belongings in, I soon realized that I wouldn't be able to work on this network, because of how intermittent the connection was. My phone, laptop, and PlayStation would all disconnect about once every 1-2 minutes. It was so severe that it took me over 2 hours to play a 40-minute video due to the consistent freezing.

And I guess everybody living here just must not use the internet that much, and have just kinda accepted this as a fact of life and nobody's tried to fix it. This would be something I'd normally be able to resolve by myself, but because this isn't a network I own and control, I'm not going to go changing their router settings. And since I'm a guest in this home, I'm not gonna go drilling holes to run ethernet to my room, either.

Using a wifi analyzer, I was able to spot the immediate issue: There were about 30 networks in the area mostly with pretty weak signal, but all on channels 6 and 11. There were only 2 networks using channel 1, and they were weak. The router I'm connecting to is also on channel 11, and I can tell right away that if I can get it to switch to channel 1, I'd be all set. But, since this isn't my network, I can't just tell the router to use channel 1, even though it should've automatically switched a long time ago. But it's just a crappy ISP-provided router, so I can't really expect much of it.

So I hatched up a plan, and took an old router of mine and piggybacked it to the router here at the house. My router uses a web app to control its settings, so all I needed was for the router to get an internet connection via ethernet and I could control it. Once my router was online, I was able to log into it and force it to use channel 11, the same channel as the home's router.

The sudden appearance of a very strong connection on the same channel (since it's placed just a few feet away) caused the home's router to finally switch itself over to channel 1, which was still largely free of any signals. Now the router is working flawlessly, and all my devices, and everybody else's at the house, are staying connected seamlessly.

I agree. I think a big part of the issue is that going out to do things is just so expensive these days. There aren't any "third places" for people anymore.

Both, and also neither. The creator can have their own vision, the collective crowd can have their own, but you as an individual can have an interpretation outside of either of those. And none are any more valid than the rest.

I think they mean why now, instead of when it was still relevant.

Fuck off, liar.

This guy again.

EDIT: Can't find a proper cache and the thread was deleted by OP and not mods so it doesn't appear in the modlog, but Googling OP's username brings up a snippet of his previous small-penis humiliation kink post: https://files.catbox.moe/kgbkzb.png

This is fake. OP makes new accounts all the time and posts humiliating questions in AskLemmy and NoStupidQuestions, making everybody else non-consenting participants in his sexual kink. This is the same guy who has made posts about having small feet and an engorged belly. He is getting off on people believing his bullshit.

Admins need to ban him from the instance completely.

Not the headline with the words "Trump" and "hangs" that I was hoping for.

Hahaha, what a bunch of morons, sugar isn't even good for you!

Buncha dummies.

I never noticed just how well they executed this effect! The beard just sorta fades into existence, but just before the hairs become fully visible they start lightening the irises of his eyes, so that your eyes aren't looking at the beard while it's materializing. Excellent misdirection.

Check out The Finals! It's made by a bunch of ex-DICE devs who went and founded Embark Studios. Totally different vibe from Battlefield, but it still has the environment destruction and fine-tuned gunplay they've always been good at.

A possum.
