I got some zwave devices thinking using something outside of the 2.4GHz band would be more stable. Not really the case, I still have some disconnections once a month or so. And after coordinating my wifi channels with zigbee, the zigbee devices are actually more stable. Thread is the worst of the three, about one disconntion a week, sometimes requiring a power cycle.

It was a bunch of bad init scripts, but it was our bunch of bad init scripts.

Those a fighting words

Xkcd is timeless :D

Pirated Microsoft word running in wine.

Emacs. Butterfly.

Jesus that’s extremely illegal in most western countries.

Sums up most of what I know about the US, really.

If we make them out of paper it will be even faster!

Ad hominem

Fake news!

Paper walls do that, yeah.

I can set up a tent in under 5 minutes!

Anything critical of China is fake news, I know.

Maybe so this doesn’t happen?

No, they work during the day, Monday through Friday and the owners on weekends too. Usually they get 6 weeks of PTO and about 13 more days of public holidays.

Yeah, but we have Ethernet in every room, filtered ventilation systems, heat pumps, solar with storage, water acconditioning systems and in winter we can heat it up by a fart.

Plus our workers don’t do 996 and have sick days, vacation and others.

I’m sure the neurosurgeon can learn to lay bricks (or flip burgers, or bring food to tables, or clean floors, or operate a forklift) faster than the other people can learn to operate on brains.

Unskilled labor is a common phrase, not a literal meaning. I doesn’t mean “you don’t need any skills”, it is about jobs where you can quickly learn the skills (usually in under 3 years).

A house costs a year? There’s a house being built near me and it’s been under construction for about a year by several teams of workers plus the owners every afternoon and weekend. (this is in Germany so it’s not made of matches and paper). And that’s not counting the hours needed to extract the raw materials and process them into bricks, insulation, glass, cables or pipes. There’s a TON of labor to build a modern house.

That doesn’t make it true. There’s a Murphys law. There’s a Godwin law. Plenty of others that are backed up by anecdotes and fairy dust.

Macs explicitly allow booting a 3rd party OS, which makes Asahi even possible in the first place. IPhones actively fight you if you try.
