  • I’m a nerd too but come on, he’s replying to an obvious joke with high school physics. There are more layers, do you want a more pedantic teardown?

    • Most likely, the “Wi-Fi speed” the Reddit poster needs to improve is the data rate, not latency.
    • The data rate can be improved significantly by increasing RSSI with a better physical setup, WDS, higher power etc. However, if the rate is too low at full bars, the bottleneck is the ISP plan or hardware specs.
    • The latency cannot really be improved without changing hardware or software, as the highest impact one can influence is in processing by the router and device. Some settings such as DNS cache size can improve latency in some cases with some downsides.

    Such buildings allow for great efficiency (it probably has its own stop on some kind of rail transit and still a reasonable cost of living) and that includes pizza delivery. Imagine delivering multiple orders a minute. The salary (and tips, even outside the US) would be great. They will probably even allow you to call the elevator with an app before you walk to it for extra speed.








  • I have a torrent client in a country where nobody cares so I can get all the shows but I don’t.

    However, I recently found an old sat box in the trash. The house still has a dish pointed at the Astra 3B (most of Europe) satellite for my grandparents’ TV so I plugged it in and it can still tune in to some FTA channels that use the old MPEG-2 SD standard. They’re all German, haha. I use it to browse teletext for nostalgia, I bought a hopefully compatible capture card and I’ll try to archive some of it with vhs-teletext before most SD channels’ broadcast shuts down for good in 2025. I found lots of auto-updated or non-updated headlines, hundreds of phone sex ads, SMS chat rooms (kind of shitty IRC where receiving is 100% anonymous but sending is $0.50 per message), use guides to analog satellite broadcast and ShowView VCR codes (how is that still running?) and found out that Germans still import like ¼ of their TV fairytales from the Czech Republic for some reason (never the other way around though).

    On ProSieben, my good old method for “skipping” ads still works. I’ll be making a video about it and editing it in Movie Maker style like I’m 12 and it’s 2007. My TV is that old and I can use a badly inserted RF connection to pretend analog is still running.
