This reads far more like 'My Home Network Setup' than 'My Homelab Setup'.

> There's nothing like WeChat in the west yet. I'm not sure this strong lead is still there.

China has a lot of really impressive technology and innovation happening. An app store inside a messaging app is not what I would point to as groundbreaking from a technology standpoint.

Until Apple finally starts shipping their home-grown modems (which does not seem soon), I wouldn't hold my breath.

Over my head, but heres the patent (pdf): https://image-ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/print/downloa...

And when you do try to cancel, you have to chat or call somebody. I'm looking at you SiriusXM.

I'm a massive Disney Parks and Imagineering fan and I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of Lanny before today. Really glad to see he's getting the general recognition he deserves.

This pdf is like 10yrs old, but graph in the top right outlines the rate based on distance.

Looks like they hit 267Mbps at 19 million miles away on Dec 11th.

This. So much this.

Fainted for the first time, because of a nose bleed, in front of my high school physics class, literally.

This was largely my experience even though I'm in Comcast's backyard. Constant modem reboots for seemingly no reason and outages of varying lengths.

Switched to fios and I'm never going back to coax.

But has Comcast service gotten any more reliable?

Exactly this.

Ebbets Field Flannels is basically the only sports merchandise I buy these days but since they were bought by Lids last year, Fanatics now has a partial stake in them too. Thankfully I haven't noticed any change in product quality, but its only a matter of time.

Hell, some of them will even handle non-binary 48GB sticks too.

Why would I buy this over the massive amount of options, at better prices, from companies like Minisforum and Beelink?

It, too, has its issues. Especially the 'New Outlook', which is esentially the web version in an app wrapper. Like always wanting to open the web versions of Office products when you go to open attachments instead of the actual app installed on your machine.

The only reason I realized this was a thing is because a coworker blew past the initial popup about the behavior and couldnt figure out what the hell was going on.

Users don't pay attention to this stuff. And then when you have to go back and switch it to the correct behavior of using the default browser, they've buried the option in Outlook (Options > Advanced > Link Handling).

I'm a big bioreconstruct fan as well. For me, theme parks are an amalgam of nearly every technical and creative discipline in the pursuit of telling some sort of story that you can walk through and explore yourself. Watching that all come together and seeing all the behind the scenes work is fascinating, particularly when we are almost always kept in the dark about details until opening.

Leave it to HN to get me to buy a book about weeds.

This somehow feels worse than suggesting drop shipping on Amazon is THE business to be in. Impressive.

John’s. Go with someone else. Order a roast pork and a cheesesteak. Enjoy.

The applications in commercial buildings where there are already miles of single pair communication cabling run is even more interesting.

The modern Disney Parks have a myriad of problems and one of them is definitely the insistence that guests utilize apps, etc but not because of the absolute paranoia outlined here.

Incredible stuff as always from Bartosz.

Wordart in 2022.

As a photographer who has always lusted over Pakons and will eventually own one, I truly appreciate the effort here.

Sea squirt is the single thing I had on a trip to Korea that I didn't enjoy. This description is bang on.

What a lovely little collection of small projects.

I guess I can stop wearing this mask when I spray paint too, it makes it so hard for me to breathe.
