TP-Link cold feet - go for ubiquiti instead? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ubiquity is trash with fickle support based on the whims of what sells wide adoption. TP Link IMO is a decent value for the money if you want easy "prosumer" level networking gear. I have I have 3 TP Link APs as well as a 16 port 10g core switch and its great for my needs.

Mikrotik offers more features per $$ but its not as easy to use.

for US voters who didn't, why didn't you vote early through the mail? in c/[email protected]

Because in some states you're not allowed to unless you have qualifying conditions. Also going in person early voting allows you to address any potential issues with registration issues to ensure your vote can count.

Derek Guy breaks it down some in this podcast. But it was a shift in the house of commons in England as it was working Man's clothing and was a way to signal you were with the people and not aristocracy.

I moved back to Firefox a few years ago on desktop and mobile. It's perfectly fine and seems less laggy that Chrome.

If only climate scientists had warned us 50 years ago we probably could have done something.

So don't feel to bad about that confusion.

Have new distro releases become meaningless? in c/[email protected]

Bring on the boring! Its what lets me daily Linux as a real alternative to windows. I love that my system gets constant updates, I get to pick when they install, it goes out of its way to NOT overwrite my preferences and settings, it maintains the look and feel I set it to, and it stays stable.

Do you think that could work? What about forcing all the democrats to switch over to something like Prius or Tesla's that can run on their own smug attitudes?

OMG MGT was right, look at the research there is so much proof but they won't tell us! Can you believe that mainstream media has been lying about all these weather controlling machines and that they are killing us!

He is looking for a replacement but is really addicted to the macro keys on the left. Anyone have a non Keychron rec? (I am already sending him all the Keychron keebs that offer similar layouts)

Thanks/Cheers!

Lastpass Family - Privacy alternative (discuss.online)
 

Despite the massive breach where we found out that notes (where lots of people stored previous passwords) were not stored encrypted by Lastpass, I have stuck with them for years because its hard to switch services.

Recently I realized that both my wife and I were paying for 2 separate password manager services and we need to consolidate down to one.

Staying with LastPass and moving to a family account would only cost $4/m which is still 1/2 what we were paying combined.

Is there another manager that offers Apple, Android, and Browser based applications/plugins? Ideally also with an authentication app, though I can swap to any authentication if I need to so its just a nice to have.

Never perfect, but good for now (discuss.online)
 

I will never be done tweaking and adjusting things, but for now, this is how I want it.

I do wish I had more control over things like Discord and Steam. Some of the colors and things just dont fit well with the rest of the style but o well, cant make everything perfect.

Down clock USB 3.1 to 5 Gbit/s (discuss.online)
 

Hey there fellow neck-beards and grey-beards!

I have a motherboard with USB3.1 and I need to down clock it so its always 5 Gbit/s and never faster.

Is there any way to do this, my DuckDuckGo Fu is not finding the right combination of words.

I use Arch BTW...

Just kidding im still running Manjaro.

Thanks.

For a while now I have been a Brother evangelist because they just worked, they did not lock you into first party only printing supplies, and they were overall a good value.

THEN: my printer firmware auto updated and suddenly my toner cartridges were no longer recognized. Its not that they ran out and I put in new ones, simply the ones that had previously worked (3rd party already) just stopped and it reported an error.

I managed to find a guide on downgrading the firmware, and now I am back up and running and auto update is turned off. I am also saving all the little chips from the Brother branded cartridges.

So Dear Brother Printers, Please choke on a bag of dicks. I spent $500ish on a laser color printer so I would not have to deal with the shitification that has happened to inkjet. Seeing hostile and profiteering consumer behavior from other printer companies you decided to copy them for short term gains.

Well I will no longer recommend your products, and I will go out of my way to fix and downgrade your older printers with the sole purposes of putting them back into use and costing you new sales.

1 down, 1 in the cue, feel free to stop being anti consumer and breaking hardware we already paid for.
