Or does it find you?

i think google lens is nice to have, a qr code reader if you don't have one built in your phone, a podometer to realise how much you move around or dont

Ok based

how do I explain normies why LAN is better than WLAN and why mesh won't change anything and can't compete against LAN?

-Banking app for your relevant bank
-WhatsApp to have secure communication options
-One music app of your choice
-YouTube
-Any social media you regularly use (I go with Discord)

Google Maps but it's default on android I believe
apps for public transport (here in germany we use "Bahn App")

The nav in google maps is op. I went to multiple cities in my country and abroad and never got lost

Thank you for the recommendations.

I also use maps for driving

LAN is a wired connection which will be inherently faster due to a direct connection to the network with less interference

thank you!

I was so firetrucking pissed today ngl. My uncle tried to gaslight my entire family into thinking that it's fine to only get 20% of the download and upload rate we pay for and tried to tell me that wifi repeaters can fix that and that wifi is better than LAN...

Until that point the damage was already done but with the power of numbers and LAN cables I had destiny on my side because we got close to 100% on all devices while that dumb repeater shit only gave us 50-60%

spent the entire day to lay cables in my family's house

now TVs, consoles and all the other shit have LAN

I literally spend the entire day doing that shit just to prove a point that he's talking bullshit LMFAO

No offense/full offense but what a firetrucking moron

nah don't worry I thought the same

I see it as a positive experience

I never laid LAN cables before

and now if I ever need to do it again I will have that experience

How hard was it?

not as hard as I expected it to be because I got help by my brother who has experience with this shit

there's some cables that are 30 meters/100 feet long and you can use things like LAN adapters too

being an adult is awful btw. in front of kids you have to pretend that you know all this shit LMFAO

It's also a more secure line that is not so easy for others to hack into.
These are reasons for remote jobs wanting hard-wired connections.

Would you guys like to be famous and wealthy like most hollywood stars ?
Or would you rather be anonymous and wealthy ?

I run a 50ft (15.24m) cat6 cable through the house for a hard-wired connection. The pricing isn't too bad and there are longer options. It's also a matter of being able to have a cable running around the house or having a hole it can go through.

Definitely anonymous. Being famous is just an invitation for the media, the government, corporations, and god knows who else to pry into your personal business.

I see. You are probably right because there are some famous people who died mysteriously and they still did not find out how they died.

Bruce Lee's death is not certain until today I believe ?

If I was famous, I’d like to remain anonymous online and read the fics people write about me.

And then subtly mention which one is my favorite during an interview/talk show.

Or keep tabs on Instagram/TikTok for edits and share which ones I liked best based on aesthetic taste.

thats what misha (supernaturnal) does. read fanfics. he accidently revealed a fan's fanfic when she asked him a question and he was like wait by any chance you are insert name here and she was shooked he read her fanfic.
