  • I'm pretty sure it's everywhere, especially in big cities with a lot of airbnb. For instance in Montréal there's hundreds of homeless people, but like 13'000 airbnb (most of them illegals) and thousands of vacant condos in high rise towers (because they are $$$). Downtown office buildings are also empty since covid.

  • I'm using an old "ZTE Falcon" hotspot, I got it from T-Mobile maybe 8 years ago, it's 4G/LTE, still works fine, tried multiple SIM (mine is unlocked), in general I'm using it via WiFi because we connect multiple phones/tv/laptops on it while traveling in a RV. I tested it with a USB cable between my linux and the hotspot, and it appears in Linux as a "usb0" interface, got an IP address, and works fine, it disables WiFi IIRC when plugged by USB.

  • Afaik this is a host "problem", not client. If you have a Asus mesh, you can set some rssi level at when the host will disconnect the client so the client will connect on the other AP.

    Else the client will happily stay on the weaker host. On

  • 30? Sometimes very less, 2 or 3. It's incredible that some piece of software used by milions/billions of people, have been written and sometimes maintained by 2 or 3 guys.

  • I remember seeing Hellraiser in theater, love this movie and the sequels too were not bad IIRC

  • Montreal is losing thousands of people every year, it's a shithole

  • I have a HP Mini311, 11.6", it has a dedicated Nvidia GPU that can decode video in HW, in VLC but not YouTube I think... It's an old slow atom 32bits too ☹️ but works with MX.

  • Lol I thought it did not exist anymore, like in Canada (where I am)

  • Finally! I had to uninstall FF because it was taking ~5% per hour, so in a 8h night, 40% of the battery was eaten by FF, even if I killed it there was a process somewhere

  • I have a Sanwa Gravi, I had to "grind" some place in the "hole" because the ball was touching it and it was annoying, but it's the best trackball, index ball, and LMD and RMD and wheel are controlled with thumb.

  • Same, I'm using MX Linux with native .deb and never ever installed a flatpak, so I have no clue what it is

  • I went through sh->csh->tcsh->bash

  • It happens, I once ask a question about a spinning wheel and the rpm required to have 1G. chatGPT started a couple of calculus and in the end answered that to have 1G, the diameter should be 7 times the radius. I answered back "this does not make sense, a diameter is by definition 2 times the radius", it apologized and redid the right calculus :)

  • We called them "pousse-pousse" in France, it means "push-push", because you had to push the plastic thing from the bottom to push ice cream up.

  • X too, steady job, ok pay, lucky enough to have bought a house before COVID, but not enough to save thousands of $ for retreat.

  • I am an embedded developer, I take the HW from office to bring at home, in the basement I have my "home office" with benches, soldering station, oscilloscope, etc so I can fully develop here. Working on a kitchen corner table would not be doable, true
