Not only that, but managing wifi channel congestion in a dorm is a pita.

It’s tough enough when you fully control the airspace, to have nice clean coverage and overlapping cells.

But then add dozens or hundreds of individually managed APs in a tiny space…with DFS and/or 160MHz channel widths?

Ops best bet is to get their own 5g home internet and plug in.

You’ll be hard pressed to get a router to talk to a captive portal sign in…but if OP wants to get creative, this can easily be fixed with a dumb switch and a Linux PC with two NICs. You could use windows for this, but why would you?

This is common in America. We do it so that universities don’t have to compete with private landlords.

Clearly this is all because of the litter boxes. That’s the cause of the rise in school shootings.

I’m pretty sure it’s either Mandela Effect or a massive gaslighting conspiracy. Though I guess that’s true for everything that’s collectively misremembered.

Yeah but cutting out government redundancy has always been a big part of conservative leadership.

So why have a selective service registration at all, if all the (non-rich) kids are taking the ASVAB anyway?

The draft pool will exclusively consist of the bottom 95%.

Don’t the volume buttons already take a picture?

I never heard of a song called “Fuck the Fire Department”.

Is Jack at least still cool?

First term they were flying by the seat of their pants. They were the dog that caught the car.

Second term they won’t need him anymore. They’ve got plans. They’ve got courts. They’ve even already got some of the legislation.

Trump is a useful idiot. Vance is Thiel-backed Heritage Foundation pick. As will likely most of his cabinet.

After Jan 20, regardless of which way the next 5 months go, he is useless to the GOP, Heritage, and Thiel. In fact, if anything he’d be a liability to them.

This wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

I’d been meaning to try out atomic distros. I’m not an expert on Linux by any means but I’ve been using it on-and-off for about 25 years, and exclusively (at home, at least) for about 7. So I’m a bit more than a noob.

I do worry if I’d feel restricted inside of an atomic distro. Might throw kininite on a laptop I’ve been meaning to give to my kid, tho.

Why are they still so hung up on 8.3 long after Win95?

I get not wanting to have spaces in a filename. Those suck.

Is there something low-level that still doesn’t like long filenames?

Y’all also use PINs. Americans freak out if they have to enter a PIN.

Here it’s only used for debit transactions (that is, taken directly out of a checking account). PIN for credit transactions is incredibly rare here.

This is probably because the merchants are responsible for fraudulent credit purchases. Credit companies kinda have them over a barrel in that regard…they have no incentive to enforce PINs, and users just want convenience.

Meanwhile Sally the Walmart clerk gets written up because some knucklehead in her lane swiped a cloned card. She has no power here either…card readers rarely ask for signature anymore (not like they are trained signature analysts, a pseudoscience in itself) and I can’t remember the last time I was asked for ID for a credit purchase (aside from booze, smokes, or Sudafed, but that’s a different reason)

If everything were a file…I’d be soooo happy.

My prediction for this courts interpretation:

Money is speech, and corporations are people, ergo banning price gouging is an explicit violation of the corporations first amendment rights.

Nah it’ll just be shoved into PowerToys.

It’s like god damn Odysseus and Polyphemus up in here.

The problem is really all the undiagnosed autists who aren’t picking up on the sarcasm, treating it as fact, and then bringing it to the ballot box.

Especially when these drones are basically kamikazes. Last think we need is to be shipping over million-dollar Lockheed quadcopters to be met with that kind of fate.

They had to know this would happen, right?

Like, they didn’t think to test with a dual booting system? Wtf?

Where do they even get off fixing a bug in grub?
