  • That’s an interesting insight into human behavior that I never thought of.

    I remember a long time ago, I was at Boston South Station with my then-girlfriend. We were looking at a monitor on the wall trying to spot when our train home would come in, and I pointed at it to show her.

    A nearby homeless woman then informed me that it’s unpolite to point. That always stuck with me. She was standing right in front of the screen…but now I know, I should’ve used two fingers.

    Not surprising Schneider would have Drakes back. Drake was his cash cow. This occurred between the Amanda Show and Drake and Josh, and Peck got arrested during the latter’s run. Bell was Schneider’s bottom bitch, Peck overstepped.

    Now that I know what I’ve read, I wouldn’t be surprised if Schneider is the left, but he still gives me some vibes.




  • Not only that, but managing wifi channel congestion in a dorm is a pita.

    It’s tough enough when you fully control the airspace, to have nice clean coverage and overlapping cells.

    But then add dozens or hundreds of individually managed APs in a tiny space…with DFS and/or 160MHz channel widths?

    Ops best bet is to get their own 5g home internet and plug in.

    You’ll be hard pressed to get a router to talk to a captive portal sign in…but if OP wants to get creative, this can easily be fixed with a dumb switch and a Linux PC with two NICs. You could use windows for this, but why would you?









  • Y’all also use PINs. Americans freak out if they have to enter a PIN.

    Here it’s only used for debit transactions (that is, taken directly out of a checking account). PIN for credit transactions is incredibly rare here.

    This is probably because the merchants are responsible for fraudulent credit purchases. Credit companies kinda have them over a barrel in that regard…they have no incentive to enforce PINs, and users just want convenience.

    Meanwhile Sally the Walmart clerk gets written up because some knucklehead in her lane swiped a cloned card. She has no power here either…card readers rarely ask for signature anymore (not like they are trained signature analysts, a pseudoscience in itself) and I can’t remember the last time I was asked for ID for a credit purchase (aside from booze, smokes, or Sudafed, but that’s a different reason)
