I have three networks - a 802.11n 5ghz for streaming/TV/games in the den, 802.11n 2.4 for broad access (when Im out in the yard or on the north end of the house) and a 8.02.11b/g ape for my legacy mac/pc boxes. You are absolutely right about 5g networks, they're great if you're close to the...

That is how it is in my neck of the woods. Fireblocks are required between floors and a pitched roof. As I have a flat roof, I dont have to worry about that but I do have three floors as my house is that goofy 70's split level design (lotsa stair exercise anyhow 🥵 ). Running up from the basement...

Every Powerline/HomePlug maker claims their adaptors can carry data at speeds of 500Mbps at the entry level models up to 1,000Mbps and 2,000Mbps for the fastest models.

Oh my, it's too early for benchmarks I just poured my first cup of coffee. :D And hello. 👋 You're the first MR regular I've seen over here other than FogWraith that I recognize. I agree with you. I bet for some cpu intensive tasks like music production, no L3 would cripple speed - for daily...

I drink coffee on the daily but when I want a slightly different stimulant, I enjoy green tea blends. I "feel" like it is a cleaner, more focused bump vs the delightful twitchiness that is coffee. As far as Oat milks, have you tried making your own? Its quite easy and does not include all of the...

Well, at least the cable is already run so all you have to do is secure the cat6 to the end of the coax and yank the coax out and along comes the cat6 right behind it. I am actually thinking about utilizing the power lines in my house as a networking solution. The South end of my house has cat5...

What say you? My preferred brand is single origin Colombian by Gevalia. 14c every morning.

Well, I’ve read about a number of folks online who have continued to use their powerbooks post L3 failure without much issue other than slower performance as the L2 loses the extra space to store instructions <— that is the benefit, support of the L1&2; more space to store cpu instruction sets...

Hah, silly me, I assumed this was a quicksilver. Somehow missed pic1. I see now it is a sawtooth. Cool find! That is one that I do not have in my collection.

Well who cares. They look great and that is what matters. I am starting to remodel my kitchen tomorrow and will end with new butcher block counter tops and a farm sink. The ones in there now are original to the house and it was built in 1977! :D Marching orders from the better half - ugly...

Wow Ive not seen a CPU heatsink cover like that before. Also, that's an odd shaped heatsink. Can you indulge me and get a pic of the heat sink? Always amazed at how many different iterations of things Apple went through - none of my QSs are 2002 production so is probably why. A zip drive and...

I didnt use anything that fancy. I had a 15pin Quickshot QS-123a for flight sims.

I was thinking about this the other day. Cooking - Metal (Megadeth or ACDC) or loud rock (like Jesu, Mogwai or Flu Fighters ). Anyone who has worked in a kitchen with a retail facing side understands what that customer push feels like and the need to be expedient. This helps get the kitchen...

I have that conversation with myself all of the time. I stepped away from the cess pool that is fartbarf years ago and haven't looked back, but their market place is a legitimately useful and huge sales net, so it's sometimes hard to intentionally limit my ability to fish. Still, fartbarf and I...

Absolutely. I've had some real pricey bottles over the years and they were fantastic but I absolutely love running into a good ~$10 table wine. Plenty of low dollar vinegar out there but those truly quality bottles are a great find when one discovers them (often bottles crafted for a $15-20 ring...

Very nice. I will hunt one down. Speaking of Spanish wines, I do enjoy the spiciness of a good Tempranillo. Very good with some little snacky apps like a jamon serano charcuterie plate Bocadillos, bunuelos or fire blistered shishitos. Mmmmm

This got me thinking about reds. Again, full transparency - while I do enjoy a balanced and rich, wet on the tongue beaujolais, or cotes du Rhone (Boreaux region is great in general) I'm not really much of a red drinker. I leave that to my wife who loves reds and milk chocolates. I do however...

My wife loves to shop at Trader Jose's and this trip I tagged along. We spied a $10 value bottle of Portugese Vinho Verde. Full transparency - I love crisp but wet on the tongue, fruit forward but not sweet whites like Gewurtztraminer, Vinho Verde, sauvingnon Blanc, some roses etc. Anyhow, I...

Oof, home ownership is the ultimate money pit. I just got done knocking down a wall downstairs to open up my wife’s office. Ended up redoing window soffits, fix some house settling cracks, painting, new hardware, refin air duct in/outlets, new carpet, new lights, ran new cat5 &installed new...

Love that NeXT poster. Never seen it before. Very cool!
