If we don’t want our homes to eat Wi-Fi signals, companies will need to start eating the cost of choosing better Wi-Fi-penetrating materials — or, at the very least, they will need to stop putting fiber connection points literally inside walls.

Or you could just USE THE DAMN ETHERNET DROPS THEY SO KINDLY BUILT FOR YOU.

Of course you're going to get shit signal if you put one AP in a metal box and expect it to cover the whole house. that's why they built that box and ran Ethernet throughout the house.

Career speedrunning? Kid's probably going to be burned out by 30.

The ⅓-pounder? A&W already tried that, and it flopped, because people don't understand fractions.

Nowhere to keep/wash your clothes. Nowhere to shower. Nowhere to get mail. I'd bet a lot of computer systems aren't even built to handle people without an address.

I don't think people should have to put extra filters to get what they signed up for when they subscribed to "technology"

Fear or shame, probably.

Can we expand this to multi-family houses? I don't think we need it for apartment buildings too, but triple-deckers, for example, are not that different.

Come the fuck on. A UN resolution demanding a ceasefire is just symbolic anyway.

This is a civil case, which has a lower standard of proof.

I can't find an article, but I heard a report of male hostages being sexually assaulted this morning on my local NPR member station.

Anyway, free Palestine.

Can any of those guys get coked up and sweat through their shirt while jumping around on stage and screaming about developers, though? I think not.

That assumes they won't jam after the fifth round. Nobody uses drum mags because they're so unreliable.

Ideally we'd address the root causes of lack of mental health and socioeconomic inequality.

You can get the max on each count. Usually that doesn't happen, unless they didn't get more counts or higher charges to stick.

I just checked the front page of this community (as sorted by active) and none of those posts were about protocols, so...

That's what credit card chargebacks are for.

It's any notification not generated locally. Your phone maintains a persistent, continuous connection to the notification service, which is provided by Google or Apple. When there's a notification, they push it down the pipe to your device.

This is opposed to regular "pull", where the device opens a new connection every so often to poll the server and ask "hey you got any new messages for me?"

There's really no easy way to tell whether a notification is pushed or pulled. Even if you turn off notifications entirely, the connection is probably still present so that your app still receives data about new email, your turn to play, etc.

(And on the other hand, promotional notifications, like ones that remind you to play a game, or order something on Doordash, are probably on a recurring local timer, not pushed down ad-hoc each time.)

Define "performance is sub-optimal".

The general public doesn't have a caffeine sensitivity, so no, it's not lethal to the general public.

The metals used for coinage are fairly antimicrobial. Fun fact.

Dollar bills, less so.

Interesting argument. But features like a bayonet mount or pistol grip are functional, not cosmetic. And I've never seen a gun law that talks about color.

And also mobility. Young people move far more often than older people, and it's a hell of a lot easier to move when your lease is up compared to buying and selling a house.

Yeah, that's the secret. The housing market was much better for buyers a few years ago.

It does.

What's the advantage of this versus just running a graphical desktop and using VNC or something?

Ironic, even.

A judge can hold anyone in contempt, for any reason, for any length of time. But I think it extremely unlikely here, because usually the judiciary and the prosecution are on the same side.

many young Nepalis had gone to Russia on student and work visas, and then joined the Russian army to earn some money - with the eventual aim of obtaining Russian citizenship

It shouldn't even be considered a takeover.

So they're mesh repeaters? Every mesh hop is going to basically halve your bandwidth. If you want real speed, each should be a real AP with a wired connection back to the switch.

What's the threshold here for requiring moderators actually do their job?

It happens. I'm not concerned about it. I've seen that happen first-hand. If people don't want to acknowledge it, they can learn it for themselves.

You'd get people voting for all the projects and none of the budget.

Yeah, doing the bare minimum shouldn't be newsworthy. "Hey boss, I showed up on time and got my day's work done"? He'd probably say "Okay good? You want a cookie or something?"
