Yep. This is a much, much bigger deal than just a few game studios.

Not a whole lot, but it’s better than just my subbed feed. (Mostly niche interests far from any sort of critical mass.)

Implants doubling as mammary glands. Baby not feeling well? Left one for electrolytes, right one for caulk.

No, no… we should let this play out. For science.

Playing hard to get is just going to encourage the crazies.

Probably get shot by some Y’all Qaeda cosplayer for having a mixed race spouse. Whether this happens before or after my brother gets taken out for being gay is up for debate. I hope my sister is spared because her meathead baby daddy is a right wing useful idiot, but she’s an unmarried bisexual mother and that doesn’t pass the purity test, no sir.

I kinda feel bad for my mom since she was largely apolitical until a black man had the audacity to get elected president, but there’s nothing I can do to stop the parade of leopards once they go face-hunting. Doubly so if I’m dead.

I’d pick these up just for the novelty factor (as with the Japanese/EU SNES controller) if they were available in my region. Not interested enough to jump through hoops. I’ll just appreciate it from afar.

I think it was simply a failed idea. “Let’s have them work like Joycons.”

one product release cycle later

“Let’s not do that anymore.”

As an older guy who offered to drive a much younger woman home for a couple of weeks, a half hour each way for me as opposed to over two hours one way on public transportation for her… yes, I was just trying to be nice. Yes, I felt like I was giving off creeper vibes. She swears that I wasn’t but I’m self conscious enough to have my doubts. Every ride occurred without incident. It was nice to be able to help someone.

They’d see a VPN connection, where it’s going, how much traffic it’s using, and the origination point on the network. Might as well put up a giant red arrow over your desk.

Great, now I’m out of touch and my hand hurts.

One of my favorite Sims torture chambers housing projects was a spiral with espresso machines at each corner. In the middle was one toilet. I invited all of the neighbors over and watched the chaos unfold.

I’m sure something could be done on the LAN side. I know just enough about networking to know I don’t want to fool with it any more than I have to lol. The setup I have now works because the cable modem is just a modem/gateway. It’s not trying to be its own network.

But regardless of any efforts on my part, the AP is stuck with whatever black box software TMo is running. That WiFi signal is gonna be going 24/7. Can’t disable it, can’t define the IP space, can’t restrict what can connect to it, etc. Just not liking that idea.

To be clear, I’m saying I’d go homo if it meant the elimination of bills. Which is not the same as “my new job is to be some rich dude’s buttery cornhole.”

they really should mandate

That sound you hear is Texas loudly pushing back on any sort of gubmint infetterance.

I average about 20ms (Comcast over WiFi). TMo was about 30ms. I just checked my cell connection (also ATT 5g), and matched your 80ms. Not sure what the Comcast ping would be wired, but I don’t run anything significant over Ethernet. The jump from 5ms to 30ms is noticeable with gaming for sure. But in my use case, the latency difference would have been negligible.

We tried out the T-Mobile 5G for a couple of days. Blew our cable connection out of the water speedwise, with comparable latency, at what would have been less than half the cost. But the AP provides next to no configuration options - can’t even turn off the WiFi and use it as a bridge to a proper router. So back it went.

Seconding hand farts. I’ve never seen anyone wash their hands after doing armpit farts.

No bills, only gay.

I’m hetero af but I’d take that deal in an instant.

Thanks for the tip. I should be able to get some vinegar behind the shower knob, not sure about the spigot.
