I've tested probably 5-6 4K streams at once (all clients wired) when I was on 300/300. Doesn't get anywhere near a gig down.

This the most nonsensical thing I have read this month.

And another question is what internet sources have enough bandwidth to send you data at 2Gbps? Answer: None. Even aggregating multiple…

The X1 Carbon is pretty much the flagship of the Thinkpad line- very thin, very well built. Only problems are the meh screen…

X1 Carbons a beautifully constructed flagship machines with magnesium frames, and you're gonna carry it in something that's one step up…

The idea of putting an X1C into one of these Dell bags makes me wince. It's like drinking a fine wine straight from the bottle, wrapped in…

> What options would I have to fix this? Would I need to go to a mesh? That would help. Better yet would be to run a bit of ethernet to…

Uh, not sure if serious or sarcastic :) I thought everyone knew what Decathlon is... EU based cheap sporting goods store than opened up in…

I checked that one out in JB Hifi and it was much better quality than the cheapo bag. Frankly, I would sooner buy a cheap Decathlon bag…

This looks like the bag that appears on OzBargain every 3 months at the same price. It always gets the same feedback here, some people love…

Laser quality is higher for text. Inkjets + normal paper always results in a bit of ink bleed at the edges of text, laser way is sharper.…

> Be aware that not everyone was born in the 1990s. Odd assumption- I used computers before CRT screens were a thing. Output was printed by…

TIL that people still use email addresses from ISPs. (This is like having an aol address)

If you use photo paper, kind of. If you use plain paper, not a chance. The 4 colour printers are a bit rough compared to the 6 colour ones.…

Colour printing? Even colour laser printers do terrible colour for pictures compared to inkjets. I've owned both at the same time, and…

Fair point- I just tried looking up the specs and it's very sparse, it must be pretty gimped to not even mention the processor. Router…

> Have you checked that you aren't connected to 2.4ghz? Have you set separate SSIDs and got a 2.4ghz and a 5GHZ network? If he wast testing…

> The NTD is placed in my garage. The wifi speeds drop off to 200/50 as soon as I enter my house from my garage. When I reach my room…

I just got one of each and Byblosopher is correct regarding the two brands. I haven't tested heating yet as I don't have an M12 battery,…

My conveyancers were pretty good- the sellers turned out to be kind of dicks so there were some hiccups. This would have been a problem if…

I am wearing S, have never manged to wear a M jacket in my life (except for a women's M raincoat). I can wear the S Milwaukee, but only…

I don't expect it to stretch, it's got a ripstop polyester shell with zero give in it. It's okay to sit in without moving, but if I move…

Beats me. I haven't looked into it. I would be surprised if it's used by something else though.

Mine arrived. Fit is definitely on the overly snug side which is very odd, considering these are designed by an American company. Not sure…

> says who? shoes are very much about mileage which would obviously vary among consumers, not 'a year or two'. you can trade performance…

aha, thanks for the reminder!

Throwing in a comment just to be able to neg the thread. Broadcom has turned VMWare into an utter shitshow in the past couple months. This…

> Some people use tooth paste as shaving cream WTF? Spicy.

True. Keyboards I can understand- there's a real noticeable difference between switches, cases, keycap profiles. I've done the whole…

TIL that people obsess about mouses. I thought that improvements in sensor technology surpassed anything noticeable by humans a decade ago.
