When are you all going to stop crying and start making fun of this stuff again.

No but other countries might want to take stock of what’s happening and weigh the pros and cons of increasing their defense spending.
I get that this is in the news but whether it’s actually something newsworthy feels debatable.
It’s a 2009 Audi A3 hatchback with the sport package. While old, I’m in love with the car and it’s my first “nice” car. I already dumped way too much money into it fixing things, but I work from home and mainly use it on the weekend anyway.
I want to hold onto the car as long as possible. I do want it to look nice so it’s kind of worth it for me.
The manufacturer would have had to have already installed a radio for either of the two. Another downside would be having to have a gateway device for either.
Philips hue uses Zigbee (the hub they give you is a Zigbee gateway). I’m also into the Aqara ecosystem which uses the two as well.
I tried watching the first episode and turned off after 30 minutes because nothing happened. I had friends who loved watching it but it just seemed like a soap opera aimed at men—the drama was way too heavy for me.
My car is in rather excellent shape mechanically but I need to prioritize reupholstering and repainting it within the next few months.
…which is why we shouldn’t be using WiFi for IoT devices when we have Zigbee and Z-Wave. I’ll never know why they’ll insist on using the more expensive and always changing WiFi standard.
And it has to be the horrible, congested and overused 2.4 GHz band.
I bought my current one because IPv6 failed to provision on the one they gave me when I moved to a bigger apartment just two units away. I found some post on Reddit about the problem and it mentioned one that “ignores” the lack of IPv6 provisioning and does it anyway (I’m a programmer and IT geek but I don’t really understand cable/DOCSIS well).
If the modem they provided is just a modem and it works well, I don’t think there’s much reason to get rid of it. But personally if it’s an all-in-one box that has “bridge” mode I’d still run away and just go with my own modem.
I’m on Spectrum and have tons of friends that always complain they’re shit. Spectrum itself isn’t shit, it’s the garbage equipment they set you up with.
Make sure whatever you get works well with IPv6. For whatever reason IPv4 can go out at random but their IPv6 has never failed me (in the Los Angeles area at least).
Is it weird if I remember exactly how this feels?
