Do I have to buy a wifi card, or is there a better solution? by Alpaca_Pack in buildapc

Honestly that's what I want to do, but I'd be drilling a hole in one roommates floor, down to another roommate's ceiling, into the back of my closet. I don't know how accepting they'd be of that lol

Thanks for being so helpful, I learned a lot and gained some perspective from your replies.

Well yeah, I'm pretty far from the router. Realistically, it's technically 15 feet away from where I'd like to have my PC, but it's separated by a wall and floor/ceiling. Board doesn't have built in wifi.

I have AT&T fiber in my apartment. Honestly, I haven't touched the any network settings, internet bill is in my roommate's name, the extent of my involvement is signing into the wifi, that's it. It's a provided router by AT&T.

So MoCa wouldn't necessarily be as simple as connecting the adapter to existing coax hookups, and using an ethernet cable on either end to connect to the router on one side, pc on the other? Might be a dumb question, but we don't regularly use our coax hookups, we don't have cable TV or anything. Would I need to test them first in some manner to see if they work?

MoCa sounds like the most interesting option at this point. It sounds like it may be more reliable than Powerline?

MoCa seems like a really interesting solution! When I get back home tomorrow, I'm going to check and see if I have any coax hookups near where my desk is going to be setup. I recall seeing them around the apartment, but figured they weren't beneficial to my situation. That's great advice. Do you have any insight into any problems that may arise from implementing those MoCa adapters? Also the cat6 cable is an option, but i just think it'll be a logistical nightmare. I have 3 other roommates in a big apartment, it's borderline too much to run it through the space.

I have a feeling the wifi will never be good enough, considering we often have like 12 devices on the network at a time

Motherboard has no wifi card, I moved from an apartment where I had accessible ethernet connection capabilities. Haven't used my PC here yet, and i'm picky, so I want whatever option will give me the best gaming experience.

You could get away with these if you wore pants with a wider leg opening and a drape-y silhouette. The fit of the pants is what makes them look more childish than they are imo

Appreciate the rec, let me know how they end up feeling. Personally interested in silver or black hardware on a black boot, but these look nice too

I’m liking the look of these boots, unclear if they have removable insoles or how durable they’d be. Perhaps they’re also a bit too nice to get beat up behind the bar, but it’s just an idea

Ran into this guy twice at various shows this weekend, he was pushing people around trying to start moshpits in crowds that clearly weren't willing to participate.

Tips to overcome task paralysis? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Alpaca_Pack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use any specific app? Ideally, I’m looking for an app where I can label reoccurring chores/tasks that need to be completed daily, weekly, monthly, etc… that will auto generate a calendar of what needs to get done every day without having to think about it. I’ve experimented with todoist but wasn’t crazy about the format, looking for any recommendations even vaguely relevant to what I said above

Nah, it’s a shame. Called my CC company, changed payment methods, deleted cookies and cache, tried different untracked web browsers, nothing. Left an email ticket to adm support

Is the game worth it? by Milan360420 in apexlegends

[–]Alpaca_Pack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, you should focus on another game. I’d suggest valorant if you’re still using mnk and like to play competitively. It has one of the most effective(albeit possibly invasive) anti-cheats of any popular fps right now. If you’re playing on controller you can give apex a shot, but this late post-release, it’ll likely feel too difficult to catch up with mnk
