  • So if I’m reading this right… wired Internet providers are against this due to home Wi-Fi Internet speeds and phone providers are for this for mobile speeds/bandwidth?

    I don’t know how I feel about this as I currently have T-Mobile home Internet and it’s not the best experience… but it mostly works and it’s cheaper than my previous cable provider. However, home Wi-Fi really needs 6 GHz for future IoT devices.

    But I am definitely against it because Ted Cruz is for it. He obviously is getting paid/bribed by the telecoms… and he sucks.






  • I have owned every Nintendo console, but skipped on the first Switch because I was a bit upset with how they treated the Wii U. I get why they let it go so early – lower sales numbers – but was still disappointed. I’m a gamer. I had Xbox, PlayStation, and PC to play with… so I wasn’t worried about lack of games.

    I was thinking about getting the OLED Switch when that model came out, but figured I waited this long, might as well wait a bit longer for the next system. Glad I did because with the Switch 2, I now have a back catalog of games to pick from instead of the small amount of launch titles… with faster speeds and visual enhancements.

    Not sure if original Switch owners need to buy the 2 right away, however. They could probably wait a year or so when more titles come out.





  • Devil’s Advocate… I mean… they don’t work for like a newspaper or a government agency.

    Unless there are those who need certain words for their jobs, I can kinda understand why Microsoft wouldn’t want emails from work addresses to go out with political agendas… for either side.

    Work emails should just be about work. Too many people use their work emails like a personal email… with their banking, shopping, etc. That’s what personal email addresses are for.

    This policy should go for many non-work related topics too. IT can unblock the words for certain users who need to use them for their job.










  • Took a Waymo for the first time a couple weeks ago, 20 minute drive. Did a pretty good job. There were a couple times where I wasn’t sure what it was doing… minor things like signaling to turn left but then decided to go straight instead last second, getting a little too close to a curb, etc.

    However, it never did anything illegal as far as I could tell. The biggest issue is other human drivers. Since they do illegal things all the time, Waymo has to be extra cautious, which causes longer waits at intersections. Saw a human driver blow past a stop sign when it noticed it was Waymo’s turn to go. 🙄
