106th Obsequious Banter Thread: Halloween Edition of Two Ghosts

How tf are you guys justifying the price? We were looking and it seemed like it was damn near 10k for a week.

I'm looking at about 7k for a week at Universal next year. UGH

I wonder if poor setup means their WiFi points are stepping on each other's toes with channel overlap

This is the way it could be a throughput issue. But it's one of those things that always could be the case and it's usually much simpler.

On that note my Surface laptop decided after the last update that it didn't want to receive DHCP from my WiFi unless I restarted the point.

If anyone else is having trouble with that, disable IPv6

Yeah, they should be auto-detecting their way around that unless there's just too many points for the space

I blame their assumed habit of placing all hardware near microwaves

Excellent point. Maybe they locate all their wireless hardware inside of a SCIF. I should really learn to ask more questions.

@Striiker I might be dying from laughter. So you'll need to sue Beef for me.

I have to ask....is there any actual use of that product?

Walking onto Galaxy's Edge now. Thanks shitty golfer guy

That exact one is for nutters. But it’s just a Faraday cage. There are legit uses and/or reasons to use one with electronic devices. They just don’t apply to most people.

I’ll give you a weird corner case example. Sometimes as a consultant or service provider, you will come across an installation with existing hardware that has WiFi and you want to de-provision it. You might toss a cage over it to ensure it doesn’t open up avenues for attack if someone on site reactivates it. But it wouldn’t be that piece of crap.

Incredible experience - jaw was hanging the entire time

If it is an actually functioning faraday cage? Sure.

First you hack my computer to get into my Notepad +++ files for whatever draft shenanigans for whatever sport, I forgot the context about that joke. Now you literally type up what I was thinking about just now. Get out my head you L33T hAx0r.


Thanks for all the help. Time to think about what direction to head in.

I have a Google mesh network, coming from a nighthawk where the 2.4 ghz radio died (and many other netgears over many years). Other than the limited configuration ability...in general I find after two years of use, it works fine. I basically run it to switches and hardwire devices to the switches. So the mesh just avoids me having actual cat(x).

As I get older, I find I just want plug and play things...I bought a Synology rather than homebrew my own NAS. Less brain I had to use to set it up.

But I chose Android over Apple for the Opposite reasons lol...

More fun facts: Once the first atomic bomb was detonated and put fallout in the air, all steel produced is just contaminated enough to make it useless in high-precision measuring applications. Anything made after the Trinity test is useless. So shipwrecks are the chief source of steel for those applications.

this looks fun. I was interested in the Pepsi merch at the time (liked the leather jacket), but I always have hated the taste of Pepsi.

Had the more specific MRI today and the results are showing a 8 mm lesion by my right inner auditory canal. Supposed to be an Acoustic Neuroma, which is benign, and anything less than 1.5 cm is considered to be "small". Still need to go to a specialist to figure out the best option moving forward.

Based on the internet, which Abe Lincoln told me is always correct, surgical removal before 1.5 cm gives the best chances of having no permanent impacts on the various nerves and "services" provided in that area. Basically, get it before it has a chance to tangle into things like your facial nerve and hearing because one they are there, it becomes more difficult to remove without causing facial paralysis and hearing loss.

I'd really rather not wait to see if it gets bigger. It is already causing me to have various symptoms, that led to the tests to begin with, so I say we just cut this sucker out now. Anyone got any surgical tools? Anyone with extensive practice playing Operation gets first dibs.

Congrats!

Just stay away from this neighborhood.

I swear I watched a documentary about this already on Netflix.

I wish you all the best man, I do have some tools and volunteer my services if you feel the need to take me up on it. You will have to describe what’s going on with much simpler words however.

You have to close the incision somehow...

Wait was the Pepsi jet talked about in the McDonald’s Monopoly money on HBO?

This looks enticing. Is it like that man who retired and found a loophole in a particular lottery offering?

Always love it when someone comes up with a method or scheme to win in ways that were not envisaged by those behind it.

Just checked Netflix. They have the same trailer and they’re saying the feature arrives on Nov. 17th.
