Reminds me of those hotels were clients who want to use Ethernet instead of the crappy WiFi have to pay an extra charge.
It's not like someone would notice that the TV's set-top box also uses Ethernet, and the wall jack it's connected to is on a network with Internet access and no captive portal

Doesn't that apply to the screw-in electrical socket as well, for hotel use?

Could be worse; you could be stuck watching videos from that part of YouTube.

I shared

with my brother after it was posted around here somewhere. He really enjoyed it and found a bunch of other fun videos like this:

we spent a few hours watching these.

I've seen a few of his videos, generally when someone has posted one here. Lately, I've been getting stuck mostly on aviation, bad driving (including police chase), and tales of Karen videos. And music and dance.

Those are dangerous (in more than 1 way!)

Signal propagation speed is unchanged (and still so slow that it might as well stand still in comparison to a Wifi signal). Signal encoding is unspecified - so the question is how much information each bullet carries - but if we just look at the number of things per second, then the "MetalStorm" gets up to a rate of 17k/sec, which is utterly lame in any communications context.

Would explain some hardware problems.

@topspin Nah, old IBM ThinkPads were goddamn tanks. Not quite 3310, but back when I was just starting out this computer thing, summer work during
2004, I think2006, one fellow brought his to "remove viruses". It had CD bay broken shut (or seized - couldn't open using flat screwdriver as a prybar), one corner properly broken off, keyboard, speakers and fan chock full of sawdust. And yet it kept on working. I somehow managed to reinstall XP using USB CD-ROM, set up his Outlook and off he went.

@Applied-Mediocrity That's an old HP laptop though not a Thinkpad.

@boomzilla Also, bury an animal a few feet above the human body, so if someone does try to exhume it they find that first.

Who would be so cruel as to kill an animal?
Edit: what is grammar?
-
@boomzilla That does give a whole new meaning to "sucker punch".

@HardwareGeek Jokes of that quality most certainly remind me of @Groaner…

They're useless for comparing ratios, which is what people most often misuse them for. It's really just a shitty way of representing sets relationships, but alas...

@Tsaukpaetra said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:

It's just that 2D is a bit constricting in the number of relationships that you can represent without becoming an abhorrent mess. Abstract Venn diagrams to an infinite dimensional space, and you'll find that they are quite neat.

@cvi that’s the easy part. Visualizing it then is the hard part. But it seems the only solutions the info-vis people come up with are parallel coordinates and excel.
-
@topspin said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:
info-vis people
I once ended up "listening" to an info-vis panel discussing 2D vs 3D. Most pointless thing ever. (I was only there because that room had the most comfy chairs, the light was half-dimmed, and I was hung over as hell. Despite the comfy chairs, I would have left if I had been confident that I could successfully get from the back of the room to the exit towards the front.)
parallel coordinates and excel.
Rumor is that they occasionally use python as well. (To plot parallel coordinates, I guess.)

@topspin said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:
solutions ... excel
Why are these words in the same sentence?
