A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.
I’ve sold most of my international/US-biased stocks, only keep a few, plus some local company that I know is doing pretty OK.
I replaced it with mostly high-security stuff like the bank savings account or European central bank rate coupled stuff. So I guess I am losing the potential interest?
I am still not sure when to “buy the drop”. I bet that (sadly), the US administration will do more bullshit before it gets better.
I just looked at my router, it supports max transmit power settings somewhere deep in the menu, I just leave it at maximum/automatic.
I know from debugging my wifi drivers on my laptop that at least that one does adjust its power, I am guessing it works with most other modern devices as well.
I live in a 10-ish story apartment building and according to my router, channel utilisation is <20% for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. So, I guess it just works.
Fair point
Okay, let’s turn this shipost into a brainstorming session: what would be socially accepted “slutty outfits” for men, both straight and gay?
I feel like our fashion choices are limited to tank tops, shorts and if you feel fancy, half open shirts.
I’m an electrical engineer and into ham radio. WiFi is the last of my concerns, health-wise.
To even begin to worry about that I should first start eating healthier, work out more than once a week, and so something about all the microplastic in my brain, I guess. I’m not a medical processional, but it’s pretty far down the list. And regarding power consumption… This thing uses like 10 W, of which probably <1 is influenced by the radio power.
Bro, I’d love to change with you. I tend to be the opposite, I fear I often come off as aggressive and rude when in fact I am only pissed off at a computer for beeping the wrong way all week.
You say you have some (good) friends, have you considered just asking that? “How do you perceive me, I worry I look <x>?”
At a store? I have never met an employee like that. How would that even work? Sure, they might try to make some small talk because it helps sell things or because they are bored, but “I’m good / just looking, thanks” is all I’ve ever needed to get them to get the hint.
Fair point, people are different.
Nice try, FBI :)
+1 for the onlookers. I have watched plenty of arguments myself, just trying to build an opinion. Humans work like that.
Isn’t that just the (American) definition of liberal? That the market works, if restricted and guided enough by the state, so it works in the right way?
I’ve just met more people. Friends coming out kind of forces you to re-evaluate the casual *phobia. I don’t think online can do it. You have to experience and learn yourself.
Purely by feelings? Synthetik Biology. Super cool subject. Engineering, but your computers live. Sadly, anything Bio-related basically needs a PhD and top grades for a job. So I guess I’ll stick with the lightning imbued rocks for now.
I know, I was trying to make a joke
Sounds painful. Maybe take it easy for a few days, mate.
So, how often do you have to drive manually for the portal? You know, just so I can be prepared and have some sulphur and goat blood in the fridge
On the last camping trip I was on, someone brought a small coffee maker. Absolute genius. If you think that shitty instant coffee is a god-send when the local wildlife wakes you up after 5h of sleep, the imagine that with a real coffee.
I’ve recently started to throw a mini screwdriver set into my laptop bag. I can even fit a small pocket knife and a bit of soldering tin into its case. Obviously not a good idea for flying, but it has been useful a few times.
I also keep some crappy headphones in that bag. Priceless if someone around you in public transport is being annoying.
Honestly, if you look at the world and go “ah yes, majority wiccan”, idk how to help you. Probably by telling you to stop trolling.
Relative power? A phone and an app that shows you the received signal strength. Wifianalyzer on F-droid for example.
For me, setting it from max power to 6% (lowest value) took it from -30dBm on my couch to -50 dBm, so 20 dB difference, which is ca. 1/100. So it roughly checks out.
Keep in mind that radio waves are magic, and the higher in frequency you go, the darker the magic gets.
Absolute power is hard, especially if you are interested in average power for, like, health concerns. WiFi works in short bursts over a pretty large part of the spectrum, and you’d need calibrated equipment as well. I knew a guy who did radio wave strength mapping for like government, telcos and concerned residents, and he had a car full of tech. Simple field probes can be reasonably priced, but you need to know how to operate and interpret them.
