  • from a diagramming pov, remember to document the link speed at each end as well as the ethernet cable type. if your cable modem supports 10GB I would really really look at 10GB network devices pretty closely, budget allowing. I would steer cleared of managed, it’s just a PIA for your setup.

    You might want to experiment with modem <-> switch <-> wifi vs (modem <-> wifi <-> switch). remember wifi is just ethernet. so the order may or may not matter as much (vendor gets a vote). there does not appear to be a reason to march ethernet cable traffic thru the wifi router, but maybe there is???

    def agree an 8 port switch might be better for you, use a 5 to split a single cable at a single location (say, tv + game console + speaker combo)

    Remember if you need a WiFi mesh (multi access-point) to connect your devices, if possible, link the mesh backplane together via ethernet cable so that you don’t chew half the speed with wi-fi backplane chatter.






  • Whoops

    Excel is def the mkt leader for a reason

    I loathe Ms Access but have to admit there is no peer that even comes close.

    Vs code is relatively reliable, cross platform and gets the job done. When there are a lot of people “one way that works for all” is a quality as well.

    That said, I wish open offices were better. Even Apple numbers isn’t a realistic excel alt yet (though it is super decent). And I agree there are plenty of editors that work in many situations.














  • man i dunno. I really like this game. I probably play 2-4 hrs a week, and each visit feels super fresh. For a company known for it’s bugs, Starfield is amazingly bug free (for me). I think. I had one crash on console? And that is after a bunch of quick resumes.

    I am digging exploration, a BUNCH. the biomes have great attention to detail, and I really like NASA punk.

    There is a lot going on, and instead of focusing on what is not there, which is natural, and fair, I find myself enjoying what is there. I do wish that ship and outpost habs had some kind of effect vs cosmetic (it seems like hacking is in the game w/all these computer cores…but where???), but my wishlist is WAY LESS than Skyrim. It would be nice if there was some way to have “location NG”, where after the first visit, the next visit in a different planet / system triggers the next variant, etc.
