I see a SATA cable, so I’m guessing it will work fine.

I wish people would stop censuring themselves on lemmy like they do for the other social medias. You can say shit, and a lot worse now that you aren’t asking a corpo for permission to speak.

Ew GitHub? I’d rather go back to SVN

If you ain’t pissin’ I’m not kissin’

It was pink because it was part of a carbon copy form. You write on the top sheet of paper and then you get 3 copies of what you wrote, one for the employee and 2 for other records. Carbon copy paper was very popular before you could just print 3 copies of something.

Either your cables are made with the absolute worst insulation I have ever heard of, or your environment is doing something to the cable. I have done networking in 200 year old building with CAT3 from the 1990s that still works today. I installed a CAT6 cable in my parents house in 2003 that still works.

If I ever had a cable in a wall just go bad I would put that cable vendor on the blacklist immediately. Is it possible that the cables are being damaged during installation?

I agree that wifi is a great fallback option, but what happens when the cable running to the AP deteriorates?

Many people find Ethernet confusing.
CAT6 and CAT5e are very similar, but standard CAT5 can not do above 100mbps duplex. 5e can, but isn’t tested for 1000mbps duplex, whereas CAT6 is designed specifically for that speed. CAT6 doesn’t actually need to have shielding to be CAT6 but in the early days it was a common way to meet the standards. The biggest difference is actually the connectors. You need CAT6 RJ45 to make a CAT6 cable. 5e cable with a 6 connector works better than CAT6 cable with a CAT5 RJ45 in my own testing. CAT5 connectors have pins that all line up straight across, CAT6 has staggered pins. This staggering helps prevent crosstalk between the wires.

CAT8 is the current newest standard, and I am not brushed up on the standards specs yet. CAT7 was never made official, manufacturers made it ahead of time and it might be a little better than 6 but it almost never meets 8 standards, and is about the same price.

As somebody who does networking for a jerb, you are getting ripped off if you are paying $20 USD for a CAT6 wall plate. What you want to get is punch down keystones and a keystone wall plate, at least half the price. Maybe that’s what they cost at the hardware store though, I haven’t ever had to buy one from there. I order all mine.

It’s because GM has deep pockets and doesn’t want to pay one of their competitors a licensing fee to stay competitive.

Check out Withings. Not open, but they are pretty good on respecting privacy and check the boxes you want. withings doesn’t do the full screen app stuff, but it’s a good watch with all the smart features.

I love the crust. But sometimes I don’t need the extra carbs.

I hate this. I’m pretty sure this gave me PTSD somehow.

Non-standard keyboard layouts. Custom kernels. Nah, I tried to rock a Chromebook but it sucks. What I really want is for arm or riscV to grow the fuck up and make an open pc platform. x86 wasn’t meant to be open from the beginning, but market forces and other reasons forced it open. We need the same thing for other architectures.

I want an arm laptop for work. I almost always use web apps or SSH or RDP. I don’t need or want a lot of power in my laptop, but fanless and big battery life sounds great.

AMD. Maybe Qualcomm in the near future. AMD Ryzen chips are pretty damn good.

Why does the catfish have tits?

I once did a house call over an hour away to turn on elderly couples monitor back on. Didn’t feel good about giving them the bill.

I always liked Betty more.

LMFAO
