My TV started constantly losing its WiFi connection and after trying all the standard stuff I finally dug into the system logs on the WiFi router to determine that the router was sending control commands to tell the TV to upgrade from the 2GHz to the 5GHz band and when the TV didn't respond appropriately, the router would deauth it for some stupid reason.

I can only assume something changed in the TV firmware because I haven't upgraded my WiFi firmware in 6 months.

So I found the config to disable "smart connection upgrades" and now everything is stable. I can't imagine how frustrating it would be for a normie without deep networking knowledge to run into this bullshit.

Whip your hare back and forth.

Just whip it.

Fun protocol fact: the HTTP header which contains the referring url is called "referer" because the developer spelled "referrer" wrong and nobody noticed, so it made it into the official standards and now it's ossified.

249 years ago America declared its independence from Great Britain, motivated by tax disputes. Today I wish to bring to your attention how inflation's interaction with our tax policies results in even greater theft from citizens.

Ozempic, but for legislative bills.

It's difficult to imagine a more limp-dicked response to someone than telling them to shut up. Especially online, where you have no power to make someone shut up.

If you want someone to shut up, the best tactic is to intellectually eviscerate their arguments.

That feeling when you skip a weight machine because someone's using it and then you complete all your other exercises only to return to the skipped machine and find the same guy there 20 minutes later. 😑

Not a fan of how much BTC Microstrategy is accumulating, but they seem to be doing it legitimately soooo whatcha gonna do?

Will certainly be interesting to see if Saylor takes a full hero-to-villain arc a la Roger Ver.
