No pulling wires from walls, just cutting the ends off and installing new connectors. Might not be enough in every case though.

Crimping took me like 5 attempts to get right when I learned it in school.

Do you have a shitty 10mbps connection like my parents? Then WiFi, because you're easily saturating that line either way.

Only if latency doesn't matter. WiFi has a lot more jitter, no matter if your WAN connection is 10 or 1000mbps.

But Kotlin is actually an improvement over Java.

Golang thoooooo

But somehow, Google couldn't be bothered to advertise the product at all. They ran 1 Super Bowl commercial which didn't make a whole lot of sense to the average viewer, and then basically zero marketing after that.

Google is really bad at marketing despite being an advertising company. Most of the products they've launched then shut down I just never heard of, despite finding the ideas behind them really enticing after the fact.

Rural areas are already covered by Viasat. Which is going to be more efficient due to the simple nature of only needing like 5 to 10 satellites in the 100-year orbit height... rather than 60,000+ Starlink satellites in the 5-year orbit height.

Latency sucks with Viasat. You won't play multiplayer games on it, and even web browsing will be sluggish with how many round trips displaying just a single page requires nowadays.

That video is a thinly veiled listicle.

Try to do any formatting more complex than none at all in Confluence. It just gets polluted with invisible markup and changes styling randomly.

It's the main most privileged program running on a computer, through which all other programs access shared resources like hard drives, memory, network etc. It also performs access control on these resources.

Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

I didn't fully drop Reddit but I use it significantly less.

I've heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

You definitely have access logs that contain IP addresses.

If I have a camera on a tripod and I angle down...the view goes up. If I angle up, the view goes down.

I much prefer a simpler analogy: If I look up, I look up. If I look down, I look down.

The internet could be and should be so much more

The internet is already too much.

My Facebook is only memes, only from the large meme pages, not the ones I like that I have to check manually since they'll never end up in my feed. And news articles.

It started with Facebook just hiding what your friends are posting. It still happens that someone shares a photo once a year or so, but I will never get shown it. I just browse my friend's profiles manually.

That meme's been on the front page every day for the last week. Did karma farming bots make their way here?

I really like PowerShell's object-oriented approach to pipelines. Unix pipes feel really dated in comparison.

Some people will always want wires to transfer data,

But that group of people is growing smaller and smaller with each year. I haven't used a phone cable to transfer files once in the last 8 years. Phones just sync to cloud.

I always thought dumping was illegal.

I don't know the prices now, but half a year ago in Poland olive oil was cheaper than any other oil and significantly cheaper than butter. Like 6€ a liter.
