At what age do you think is too old to be living with parents?

Background+rant: I’m in my early to mid-20s and still living at home with my dad. I’m not a NEET and am employed at a normal office job. I enjoy the comfort of my home. I like being with family (and I believe they feel blessed to have their kid at home longer). I like not having to pay rent. However, I also keep feeling some...

pelya,

American values clashing with common sense.

Is that how some people are still voting for Trump?

pelya,

There’s a really simple and effective solution. Deny entry to any russians with no long-term reason to stay.

FSB agents on a tourist visa? Deny.

Military-haircut men looking to open ‘high-tech business’ to buy electronic components and drone parts? Deny.

A young family of four fit guys looking to visit their grandma on a weekend? Deny.

Mail-in russian wife moving to live with her Spanish husband? I guess that should be allowed.

2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...

Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable...

pelya,

It’s all mostly a marketing speak.

LTE is a proper name for the latest flavour of a wireless connectivity steandard. It simply means ‘long-term evolution’, because naming it after the actual underlying algorithms would be ‘orthogonal frequency-division with multiple access’ was too long even for nerds who created that standard, and also it uses simpler frequency-division with multiple access for transmitting data from your phone to the cell tower, so the actual proper name would be ‘OFDMA uplink FDMA downlink’.

And 5G is still mostly LTE, just with extra radio channels and an optional millimeter frequency support.

There were similarly several 3G technologies - HSDPA, HSPA+, DC-HSDPA, DC-HSDPA w/MIMO, each offering a better speed, but that would be confusing, so the operators just named everything as 3G.

pelya,

ITU defined 4G in 2008 as wireless connectivity with speed of 100 megabits per second for mobile users and 1 gigabit per second for stationary users.

LTE never achieved such speeds. It did not stop mobile operators from calling their service 4G.

ITU since then revised their definition to lower the required network speed.

5G was supposed to have network speeds of 10 gigabits per second. ITU however wisened up and are just defining it as ‘fifth-generation wireless’, because the mobile operators will butcher the definition anyway.

pelya,

Yup. 5G is LTE with more frequency bands.

Just slap one more antenna into your phone, that’s how we’re increasing network speed.

pelya,

Kind of, yeah.

There are WiFi setups that can cover as far as 10 km range, which is firmly inside 4G territory, with a speed to match.

pelya,

Simply install Ubuntu from Microsoft Store.

pelya,

Simply visit bugs.kde.org and report an issue that you have a watermark in the corner of the screen

pelya,

That’s why cowboy hats have folded brims.

pelya,

Cpt. Redfish misses his fishbones-themed bandana.

How to remotely reboot a Linux host if SSH fails to connect?

Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it’s a search/index tool which I don’t need. No idea why it took over all memory. I’ll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it. Thanks again heaps!...

pelya,

edit: I just found this, which seems to be exactly what I need: manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/…/amt-howto.7.html

Ah yes, Intel’s famous security hole.

Some people stopped buying Intel CPUs after this feature was introduced.

pelya,

Yeah, it’s called AMD DASH, but it’s available only on select CPUs, unlike Intel’s variant.

pelya,

So the whole chip is a complicated lens, that somehow can perform multiplication using ‘analogue computation’.

pelya,

We tricked the same rocks we use for doing math into bending light like the glass, and we use that for doing math, yes.

pelya,

Mmm. The protagonist could be manlier. He’s too well-shaven for an action movie with explosions.

pelya,

The map is incorrect for Ukraine. It’s either first name + surname, or surname + first name + father’s name for the documents.

pelya,

It was pretty smart marketing move. Business people hear ‘dot net’ and nod wisely. Tech people hear ‘dot net’ and scrunch their faces. Either way people keep talking about Microsoft Java.

pelya,

That’s a joke community. There are no anti-Linux users on Lemmy. The rules imply that a typical Linux hater would also be racist and support genocide.

Which would exclude those fine FreeBSD folks, who have a genuine reason to hate Linux because it’s not free enough.

pelya,

A quick -Werror=format -Werror=format-nonliteral -Werror=format-security will solve all your printf woes.

pelya,

The masculine form of matrix would be pater, because matrix translates as mother, or more specifically, uterus.
