  • Then you just need a normal Ethernet cable. I don't know why you thought the other end needs to be different.

  • Is this the hub in question?

    I think you need a perfectly normal Ethernet cable. It would help if you show a photo of both the router and the hub.

  • I was going to say that this might actually be a good idea, but then I remembered how often AI summaries get key details completely the wrong way around.

    I still think it's a good idea in concept: modding is hard, or so I hear, and this could be a very valuable tool if it worked as it's supposed to. I doubt it would.

    There are some details that I'd have done differently too, if I was somehow forced to implement something like this. For example, for each point in the summary (e.g. "talks about US politics") there should be a list of comments/posts by the user to exemplify what they say and how they write. It's useless if the summary doesn't show you what it's based on.

  • I don't think so. They aren't compatible. Even in the photo, you can see that the right cable only has 2 pins, while an Ethernet connector has 8 (I think). Definitely more than 2.

    What are you actually trying to do? What device are you trying to connect, and to where?

    My guess is that you're going to need a modem, but please give more context.

  • Honestly I have to disagree. All my recently purchased appliances: microwave, washing machine, dishwasher and induction cooktop, had detailed instruction manuals that were genuinely useful, especially where the finer details aren't obvious from the device itself.

    Heck, even my wireless earbuds had a little bit of useful info, like how to force them into pairing mode.

    Of course, all those manuals contained those nonsense safety warnings too (and I read every word of course! :P) but that's neither here nor there.

  • I never smoked anything.

    I hardly ever drink alcoholic beverages but that's mostly because I don't enjoy their taste and mouth/throat feel.

    I have nothing against drinking, as long as it's not overdone and (obviously!) not combined with driving or other dangerous activities. Under those conditions it's genuinely harmless fun and socializing.

    The only time I was remotely drunk was at a wedding where I found a wine I actually liked. I think I drank the whole bottle, or maybe half of it, something like that. I liked the feeling of how my muscles are loose and don't react normally. I didn't feel like my thinking was compromised, but who knows.

    Even if my mind was intact, it's obviously no state to drive if my muscles don't do what they would. I have no idea how some people actually get behind the wheel in this state.

  • How a bus stop in a small B.C. town became centre of dispute between China and Taiwan

    Jump

  • While you're right, I think there is no right answer here and actually the decisions are probably the best they could have made.

    Taiwan flag up for 12 years, fair enough.

    China complains? Well, don't want to make an enemy of China and it's a tiny change, why oppose it? Just do as China asked and be done with it.

    Taiwan complains? Oops, don't want to make an enemy of Taiwan either, so their flag is definitely going back up. But we can't take down China's flag for the aforementioned reasons. But now the Taiwanese flag is up because Taiwan asked for it, not because the council insisted on keeping it.

    After this "stay neutral" comment, any further complaint from either Taiwan or China won't achieve anything. They are literally treating both parties equally, i.e. neutrally.

    We're all playing checkers and this council is winning at 4D chess without even realizing it.

  • How does Internet work in Palestine?

    Jump

  • Great question, very interested to hear the answer if anyone knows. Please mention me, future posters!

    I expect the answer to be very different for Gaza and for the west bank.

    My best guesses (NOT BASED ON KNOWLEDGE, JUST SPECULATION):

    West Bank perhaps can connect to Israeli telecom service providers. I'm guessing that's what Israeli settlements in the west bank do, so no reason why Palestinian cities wouldn't do that too.

    As for Gaza, again their only telecommunications have to be through Israel. It appears that Israel can literally just stop the internet service (and electricity and water for that matter), and Gaza would be in the dark. The fact that Israel isn't doing this is a bit of an enigma to me - not because I think they should (I don't), but because it's very obvious the the Israeli government thinks it should. Some ministers have literally said as much.

  • What Should I Use Instead of Github? - Codeberg Gitlab and BitBucket

    Jump

  • I noticed that as well and I found it strange. Their terms of use are very clear about this, it's not clear why they configured it like this.

    My best guess is they want to allow people to develop things privately for a few weeks/months before going public.

  • What Should I Use Instead of Github? - Codeberg Gitlab and BitBucket

    Jump

  • Short and sweet. I definitely recommend Codeberg, but it's only intended for FOSS projects. I believe this is loosely enforced (if at all) but if you use it for private or closed-source projects you are technically breaking their TOS.

  • Men who feel like fully functional people, how did you get there?

    Jump

  • Relevant: Arnold Schwarzenegger's famous speech, Don't Ever Call Me a Self-Made Man https://youtu.be/DOldEbWxgdQ (you can probably easily find it not on YouTube with a web search). It's not 100% what you asked but it's along the same lines.

    Edit: full speech https://youtu.be/RJsvR_gSEjg

    I take issue with "fully functioning". I believe no person on earth is fully functioning, at least not in the developed world. Everyone has to rely on others for some tasks, including basic tasks.

    For me it's mostly cooking, which is a huge gap in my function.

    Just off the top of my head:

    • Cooking
    • Cleaning
    • Home maintenance
    • Exercise
    • Paperwork/bureaucracy
    • Socializing (friends, family)
    • Pets (optional)
    • Children (optional)
    • Work/Study
    • Digital safety (e.g. using a password manager, keeping devices up to date, avoiding malware)
    • Culture (books, movies, games etc.)
    • News (at least on subjects you care about) from trustworthy sources
    • Hobbies

    I consider all of these necessary to be "fully functioning". I really don't see how it's possible for one person to have the time and the knowledge for all of these diverse tasks.

    We're humans, and we live in a society. We specialize, and if we're lucky, we have people close to us who can fill in the gaps where we fall short.

    I can't cook, and I rely on my family for proper food, otherwise I usually go for frozen stuff. But in return I make sure my family doesn't make any digital safety blunders, and I fix things around the house that my mother just wouldn't know where to start.

    Loads of people hire a cleaner to regularly clean their home. Are they not able to clean for themselves? Are they not fully functioning? No, of course they could if you take cleaning in isolation, but they can't do everything, and more importantly, they can't do it to the same level of quality. Replace cleaning with whatever.

    The fully functioning adult is a myth. Everyone offloads.

    Didn't read many other comments, don't know if this was already said.
