Let them drag their feet over Windows 12. It won’t bring anything good.

And it will be called Copilot 365 12 Teams for Home.

That’s crazy talk. Just change the colours and shovel in more AI and ads. Don’t dilute your brand.

I’m not saying this is the ideal solution, but I’ve had decent performance from the house to a shed 60 feet away using Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 nodes in the house (with one in the window at the back of the house) and an Asus RT-AX56U extender in the shed. Most days I get decent speeds, good enough to use for work and watching videos. Very occasionally there’s a bad day. I originally tried with the dual-band Asus ZenWifi AX Mini cubes, but they were not powerful enough. Their bigger tri-band units work better.

There are probably better solutions though, using directional dishes. I just did this because, like you, I didn’t want to have to mess with holes for ethernet cables, mounting dishes to poles, etc.

Oh, and I once had bad signal so I put the unit at the back of the house at what would roughly be the focal point of a large metal kitchen bowl and pointed the bowl at the shed, and the signal improved dramatically

The Asus boxes are overpriced when new, but you can get them for cheap used.

Thanks. I’m giving it a try.

Are there any particular messaging apps fitting this description that you’d recommend?

It looks slightly prettier than the Graphene app. But functionally they seem about the same.

I have not seen any FOSS apps that can do this, or many apps at all. Certainly nothing that looks like an app you’d want to use. I don’t know what the technical reason is for this. Does Google make it deliberately difficult for third-party apps to do RCS?

That hasn’t been my experience on the Play Store.

I’ve been using it. It’s decent and basic. The only enhancement is that it doesn’t do anything annoying.

It’s really shocking that the poors are too stupid to try this. Clearly the rich are smarter and deserve their riches.

Not using Internet Explorer causes circumcision? This just gets worse and worse. Pass the Tylenol. No, wait…

On the other hand, autism went up. So, RFK Jr., which is it? Tylenol or using the wrong browser? Or are we just not murdering enough these days? Does Tylenol prevent murder? Shit, does autism cause Tylenol?

Apparently they were never meant to be taken seriously. Dyson’s article was satirical. Techbros, unfortunately, don’t pick up on this.

Another old programmer here, and I don’t see the issue. C# gets better with every release and the null coalescing assignment operator is very handy. It also exists in JavaScript.

I keep using them, but the prevalence of AI style has made me more alert to when I’m overusing them.

And if you move the drive between operating systems you’re very limited in what filesystems you can use because Windows is very limited in what filesystems it can use. So you can’t just pick a more robust filesystem.

But the most disruptive technology of all is Steve Jobs’s face.
