  • Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?

  • If the slide has all the information, then it's a poor slide deck.

    The slides are supposed to be an outline. The rule of thumb is max seven lines and max seven words per line.

    Here's a couple examples.

    Good slide:

    • Revenue: -10% vs Estimate
    • Industry trends
    • Low demand for new products
    • Strong demand for XYZ

    Also good slide, depending on who you're presenting to:

    • Revenue: -10% vs Estimate
    • Industry: -3%
    • New products: -30%
    • XYZ: +4%

    Bad slide:

    • Revenue is 10% below estimate
    • Industry has seen a 3% drop in sales
    • New products ABC and MNO have had a 30% lower demand than we expected
    • Product XYZ has higher demand than anticipated with sales 4% higher than estimate

    All the extra information on the bad slide can be delivered by the presenter. It's not necessary on the slide. The slide is for people to glance at to assist them during and after the presentation and to help them anchor themselves in the discussion.

  • Wow. Everyone, ignore this guy, he's also an ad.

    Instead, you should hop on over to your local Chevy Dealership and ask about test driving the all new 2025 Tahoe. Drive one home today for less than $2,000 down!

  • HamCo?

    I see them all the time near 37. You always gotta be careful around them.

    It seems like the Mustang EV is selling better nowadays at least. I see just about as many of them on the road compared to Teslas. They at least seem to be pretty good drivers.

  • it certainly hasn't been tested in court yet, at least not that I've been able to find.

    Arbitration is allowed in an EULA and has been sanctioned by courts.

    Most agreements are considered enforceable as long as their content is reasonable, you have been granted sufficient notice to accept or decline the agreement, the agreement is not unconscionable, and it doesn't violate the UCC.

    The location usually isn't great for your WiFi and there are better tools for the job.

  • OpnSense would be the easiest way if you wanted to go. It's still not easy, but the articles online should help you out.

    First you'd need a machine. I've got an m920q I bought off eBay for $135 after shipping.

    The computer will likely only have one Ethernet port. And it's likely the port is Realtek which isn't supported well.

    So, you'll need to get yourself a NIC (a fancy term for a network card). There are good forum posts and articles online about the best NICs to buy for your needs. Intel is a must. However, you can find many of their NICs online labeled as another brand - usually HP, Lenovo, or Dell. Again, the forum posts will tell you what to look for.

    If you bought the same computer I mentioned above, you'll also need a riser and a bezel. Amazon and eBay will have a good selection.

    Now assemble it. Flash the computer with OpnSense. Don't plug it in as your router yet. Follow along with some basic setup guides online to figure out how you want it configured.

    Once you're happy, plug it in as your router and test that it works. If not, you'll need to put your old router back in place until you can figure out what you need to change.

    The Trump admin reversed that and pushed to eliminate CAFE altogether.

  • SD has pass through charging, so once the battery is fully charged and also while it is plugged in, you aren't powering it through the battery like cell phones and most laptops do.

    That's how nearly all modern devices work. Li-Ion can't be charged and discharged simultaneously. There is circuitry to split the power between the battery and the device when it's being charged.

    Cheaper devices will just stop charging when you use them or they won't work at all when plugged in.

  • Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs

    Jump

  • It's not working because W11 is using a CPU instruction that doesn't exist in older processors.

    And by older, I don't mean Pre-Zen or Intel 5XXX... I mean OG AMD Athlon and Intel Core 2 Duo. If you're trying to run on a CPU from 2008, that's on you. These were never supported - hence the title.

    The only reason this was discovered was because some YTers make videos of running W10/11 on super old computers.

  • My favorite part is looking at the rating and seeing that all the 1-4 star reviews are missing. Sure, the product has 1.7 stars, and, sure, Amazon requires you to write a review with your rating, but somehow only the people who rated it five stars left reviews 🤔

  • Only way I'm using most shopping sites is if I know they're trustworthy and if they support PayPal or one of the major payment processors. I'm not going to type my CC number into a random website and trust that they aren't hacked.

    There are a lot of issues with PayPal, but at least it makes it easy for me to get a refund if the seller refuses. The last time I had to get a refund, it was because the seller told me I had to ship my $20 product back to China in order to get a 50% refund. This was despite the returns agreement explicitly requiring them to cover return shipping and that shipping it to China would have cost me about $150.

    Actually it's a bit better. Excel always ignores alt codes for the first key press or two after switching windows.

  • FCC to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing law

  • Blame the Republicans in Congress.

    It took until last May for the Senate to finally confirm the fifth Commissioner. Per law, they can't create new rules or regulations when there's a vacancy.

    Have you noticed that 5G was getting faster and had more coverage until it more or less stopped last year? For the first time in history, Congress did not renew the FCC's spectrum auction authority. T-Mobile bought a lot of 2.5Ghz spectrum back in 2022 but the FCC couldn't grant it to them. It wasn't until a month and a half ago that they could use it... Because Congress passed a bill that granted the authority for auctions held prior to March 2023.

    They've also tried going after the VOIP services that don't follow STIR/SHAKEN or allow robocallers. But they don't have enough funding to do much more than the minimum. For the very few that they can catch, they first provide a warning period for the company to remove robocallers and correct their systems. If that fails, the FCC then permits carriers to block the provider, but they can't mandate it.

    Except even that's not enough. The FCC can't take actual legal action against the providers, only the robocallers. So quite often, the provider will just change their business name, list different fake people as their executives, and then rejoin the networks as if nothing ever happened. Look up One Owl Telecom - they've done this numerous times.
