Yeah the newer they are, the more frivolous they are

Filing for patent on a mechanic that’s been in the public for 28 years already is disingenuous as fuck. Pokemon started in 1996. The throw a ball at it thing has been out there for nearly 30 years. If you have filed a patent for it in all that time… and just now choose to. That’s just dumb. If they were to have applied for the patent the day that pokemon was thing in the USA… The patent would have expired 8 years ago. It’s untenable to accept these patents from Nintendo.

You said you’re using OPNSense for routing… Just keep it up to date and you’ll be fine.

If you’re worried about your ap, I think you can set omada APS to restart nightly… Though I could be misremembering.

Every network manufacturer has had some CVE for something.

Good thing what I actually said was

Paying anything you can up front saves you several times over in the long run.

My point was that the advice was terrible. Not that there are other circumstances that could make it useful. Overall, as a general rule you shouldn’t want to just hold onto debt for no reason if you have means to pay it down. It’s also why I specifically showed 10% as well rather than just the typical 20% downpayment, it furthers my point that

you’re so much better off if you put as much into the down payment as you can.

“As much […] as you can” And not just some 20% or whatever magic number.

For it to be ironic, there would have to be some sense of Texans doing it to themselves. People coming in from another state is not a Texan’s fault. I don’t see the “irony” here.

This is terrible advice. Paying anything you can up front saves you several times over in the long run.

Let’s talk 500k house, 6%, 30 years, no pmi, no taxes, no extras…
Paying 100k (20%) up front you’ll pay: $863,352.76
Paying 50k (10%) up front you’ll pay: $971,271.85
Paying 0 up front you’ll pay: $1,079,190.95

Paying 20% down (100k) will save you over 200k.

If you intend to live in the house indefinitely, you’re so much better off if you put as much into the down payment as you can.

Edit: List formatting

but that it’s ironic that they didn’t think through the consequences

And what part of that consequence is the native Texan’s fault? If anything it simply proves their point.

If your vehicle isn’t disabled, what’s the big deal about stopping?

If you’re just careening down the highway at 80, you’re not really giving your car a fair chance to let you know that it’s really in a disabled state now are you?

It’s just common sense that after a major impact you should evaluate the safety of continuing in your current state. Stopping and doing the bare minimum of just looking at your car would be the first step of that process.

Real Autopilot also needs constant attention

Newer “real” autopilot systems absolutely do not need constant attention. Many of them can do full landing sequences now. The definition would match what people commonly use it for, not what it was “originally”. Most people believe autopilot to be that it pilots itself automatically. There is 0 intuition about what a pilot actually does in the cockpit for most normal people. And technology bares out that thought process as autopilot in it’s modern form can actually do 99% of flying, where take-off and landing isn’t exempted anymore.

Color doesn’t matter to Lidar… Oh wait… Elon nixed that.

We have evidence of the US messing with nist standards

What… You realize that NIST is literally a government agency? It’s part of the United States Department of Commerce. It’s literally the US government. Are you saying that the government is messing with itself? What does that even mean?

I don’t like what this bit of information is doing to discussions in Lemmy.

Cool. That’s fine that you don’t like it. However people have a right to not see what they don’t want to see. If they decide that means it’s lemmy.ml, then that’s their right.

Just like I have a right to not peer with lemmy.ml if I didn’t want to.

Hell I have a hard block on ALL Russian and Chinese IP addresses. Not because I have something against the people. But I just don’t want to deal with the headache of accepting traffic from those countries.

Just because some (or even a majority) of the people on lemmy.ml are fine to interact with doesn’t mean that there isn’t contention from other users and admins on that instance.

non-standard functionality of the latter.

My guy. In the 90’s ALL browsers were non-standard. Even at the protocol level.
http/0.9 - 1991
http/1.0 - 1996
http/1.1 - 1997

html/1.0 - 1991
html/2.0 - 1995 revised in 1996, and 97.
html/3.0 - 1997
html/4.0 - 1997 revised in 1998, 99, and 2000.

Then comes all the add-ons like flash, shockwave, etc… Nothing was standard at this time-frame. We threw everything possible into browsers. Toolbars for literally everything (I remember even having winamp controls in my browser).

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Evolution_of_HTTP

Between 1991-1995, these were introduced with a try-and-see approach. A server and a browser would add a feature and see if it got traction.

Literally sites and browsers would just implement stuff just to implement and see if it became used.

A lot of recent times (2010’s mostly) has been back peddling the mad rush of just shoving EVERYTHING into browsers. Now I actually fear we’re going to far though… With google removing useful backend stuff for plugins and such. I just hope Firefox never follows suit.

Trillium

Trillian, not trillium. And they’re actually still around.

Why we gotta do Derpy like that?

Use anything… Mailcow or otherwise. Just don’t expose the ports on your firewall/router to connect back to you.

There was no purchasing contract in place when the suing company placed the $20 million dollar order

You think that companies just slap down 20mil without a contract in place?

I’ll have a map where you have to prevent a nuclear meltdown

Who would want to play a game where there’s nothing to do?

In every nuclear reactor we’ve ever had issues with it took ignoring engineers or specifically bypassing normal operations procedures to cause.

In your game… the answer would be “do nothing”. Game over, you win.

Yeah point to me where I said this was the fault of the Rubes? Because I didn’t say that.

I didn’t say you did… But the original article DOES try to paint it all on the Republicans. You know…

FCC Republican opposes regulation of data caps with analogy to coffee refills

I was taking your point and adapting it specifically to my thoughts on the original article.

That’s still a limitation on bandwidth, not data volume. It’s still the bandwidth that costs money, not the volume.

Not really. OFDMA and other modulation mechanisms for doing dense wireless connectivity do have limitations on number of active connections based on frequency (not necessarily data bandwidth) available. Someone communicating constantly will eat up way more slots than their neighbors.
https://www.5gtechnologyworld.com/the-basics-of-5gs-modulation-ofdm/
Wireless is a shared resource that cannot be guarded. This is not the case with cables… Where that bandwidth limitation is never encroached upon (short of the North American Fiber-Seeking Backhoe… Shown here:)

In short, someone taking less slots means that service for everyone is better. A cap can keep those slots open as people would be incentivized to use it less.

The alternative is that they install more wireless transmitters but dial the power down so there’s more cells. Except this will have alternative problems in penetrating into buildings and such. So that’s not really an answer either. And with way more hand-offs you’ll run into more problems using your cellphone anyway.
