Wow… Thanks for showing us who you really are.

Are you a pit bull?

As someone who’s worked with dogs for decades, the blindness you demonstrate is sad.

Ever seen a terrier go into a rage? Guessing not.

There’s lots more at play here than your simplistic “breed bad”.

Dammit dad, made me grin

I appreciate that she didn’t clean off the old ones, just strike them through.

I have a medication that has a timed delivery because it’s heat intolerant.

I get a call saying it’s shipped and when it’ll arrive, and I have to sign for it when it arrives.

If it can’t be delivered, it has 12 hours to be tried again.

Suck SNUCK into the funeral home? 😁

Maybe they mean Farts of Portingale?

Haha

Bingo.

Because those things that keep kids away from it won’t, and they’re clearly NOT about “protect the kids” - just like every other “protect the kids” things.

This is about forcing adults to identify themselves wherever they go. This is Doublespeak at it’s clearest.

Oh, ffs.

Yea, not quite as bad, but holy hell fuck you LG

Guess I’ll be banning LG TVs from my residential residence…

Just replace the wall switch with a zigbee.

What?

As I read through that Goldbergian stream of connectedness, I’m left wondering:

1. Whatever you really trying to accomplish that brought this on

2. Won’t that wall switch always be a manual interrupt for the automation

Basically, don’t you want to automate the wall switch or lock it to being always on? (There are wall plates for this).

Hahaha, I’ll be stealing that!

True.

It really depends on a lot of “what ifs”.

I’ve been through the cabling thing in multiple places since 1996…

Today I run cable as-needed. If wi-fi gets it done, I’m not putting in the effort for cable.

If wifi isn’t getting it done, I’ll run a single cable for the location with issues, and drop in a gigabit switch (if needed).

The days of running cable “just in case” are in the past, for me.

Not true.

It really depends. And I say this as someone who’s spent years in the enterprise software management space.

In the last few years, older software has become less capable of running on Windows. Tried to run a 2006 app the other day and it won’t even install. So had to run it in a VM of Windows 7.

But your general point still stands. Lots of SMBs can continue to run on older software, to a point.

I do still use LOTS of old software with little ussue.

Linux better than Windows?

Lol

They’re different.

Ask the world’s biggest companies, who spend hundreds of millions annually to manage tens of thousands desktops for tens of thousands of users, which is the better desktop OS for their use-case.

This is such a tired, worn-out argument, that merely demonstrates an ignorance of how business operates.

Hell, Windows user, system, and software deployment management was mature before Linux even existed.

Each has their strengths - Linux is a better choice for general servers, which is why every virtualization platform runs on it, and also why massive file servers, web servers, etc, run Linux. Or for purpose-built solutions.

Also, a hacker recently got caught because he was using Windows, so…

You haven’t explained why what hackers use means, anyway.

Hahahaha

I have 53 nearby wireless networks. Lots of interference.

Channel scan charts just look like a bunch of color mixed together.

I used to modify my access points to use non-standard channels to help.

Still, other than copying media files, it’s fine.

I certainly wouldn’t remove existing cables, that’s effort for little to no gain.

Surprisingly, there’s very little anymore that exposes the bandwidth difference between wireless and wired, and I run a media server at home.

I see the performance difference when copying files, but that’s about it.

I have multiple local devices streaming video (over wifi), while the devices that really need a wired connection get one via a single cable and small switches.

For example there’s a cat5e running to a 5 port gigabit switch behind the TV. So the TV gets a drop and anything else I may need there (Apple TV, dedicated media PC, etc) can use the switch.

Currently have 3 of these switches, with about 10 devices directly wired, but only 3 runs from the primary switch.

NAS sits next to my server, so they’re on the same switch with just patch cables. Pretty much everything else get wifi if it supports it.
