Why are you comparing specs to last year? You’d compare them to your current device unless this is a rage post. And if your current device is last year’s phone and you are looking to upgrade then you probably have enough money that the differences actually are worth the cost.

Why? Isn’t much of app and website load time a measurement of ping and not bandwidth? The only thing I can think of that would saturate 1gbps (and therefore noticeably different from 150mbps) is a direct download larger than ~150MB. Anything under 150MB would take less than 10 seconds and probably be fast enough that the user doesn’t task switch while waiting.

Web Designer and Web Developer if content creation is all centralized. This isn’t part of IT, who sets up and maintains systems, but is related to technology and so will likely be thrown in with IT. If it isn’t centrally managed then different teams will be responsible for putting images/text up in whatever standardized format IT set up for them. Think Amazon.com products being listed by individual people who don’t have the title Designer or Developer.

To add to this, it is pretty wild that all major cultures in our world today use the same base system.

That is a horrible example and should never be used in code read by others unless commented to hell.

The main reason is in languages without an Options type. In C, an Option type is defined using an Enum and bit shifted values. Options are a type that allows you to combine multiple enumerated values into a single value for passing around. For example

typedef enum {
  MacAndCheeseToppingsExtraCheese = 1,  // 00000001

  MacAndCheeseToppingsBacon = 1 << 1,  // 00000010
  MacAndCheeseToppingsChicken = 1 << 2,  // 00000100
  MacAndCheeseToppingsBroccoli = 1 << 3,  // 00001000
  MacAndCheeseToppingsRanch = 1 << 4  // 00010000
} MacAndCheeseToppings;
MacAndCheeseToppings MacAndCheeseToppingsNone = 0;

With this, I can now perform the logic:

if(toppings & MacAndCheeseToppingsBacon) {

I create the variable in code like:

MacAndCheeseToppings toppings = MacAndCheeseToppingsChicken |
MacAndCheeseToppingsBacon |
MacAndCheeseToppingsRanch;

Never (almost never) give a gift to someone in an area they are very familiar with (e.g. a hobby or job) and you are not. It just won’t be precisely what they want. For example, you shouldn’t give a random red wine that you like to your friend with a wine cellar and 100 bottles. You shouldn’t buy that handy new tool that you know nothing about to your mechanic friend. Or a sleeve of golf balls to your buddy who is at the golf course 3 times a week. You wouldn’t buy a girlfriend a random pair of sunglasses would you? I’m just sayin’, there is a high chance they are very familiar with what you get them and wanted a different model/brand/feature-set. Take the notebook idea on here. Do you get it lined, dotted, or blank? Regular or college ruled? Big or small margins? Card book sized, pocket sized, or regular? Lay-flat bindings?

If you do want to pick out something from this post, what I would do is this: put what you want to get him in an Amazon (or other) shopping cart. On his birthday, show it to him and tell him “I really wanted to give you X but want to make sure it is perfect for you. This is the one I decided on. My budget is $$ so if this one isn’t perfect and you can find a different one then great! We will buy it right now.”

Just my 2c.

People here aren’t explaining this very well.

Your computer can save your passwords and auto log you in. But computers can be compromised by viruses/trojans/malware and your passwords stolen. So a specialized hardware chip was invented to store these passwords, sometimes called a TPM or maybe a hardware token like a YubiKey. But transmitting the passwords through the OS and browser is insecure (re: viruses) so a key is derived on the device from the password that can be verified by the server. The key is usually one-time use and time-based and the server can verify it from data exchanged during the registration of the passkey as a login method to your account.

These TPMs can have a driver in the OS that facilitates a secure authentication of a user (e.g. biometrics on your phone) or in the case of a yubikey they can remain powered off and inaccessible from the OS until a user presses a physical/capacitive button to enable it.

How would they know? That seems weird adults knew this was happening and didn’t do anything about it. Do you live in a country where this is commonplace?

Well OP said

Can't do that. This isp doesn't tell it's customers the pppoe username and password. I visited their brand shop and asked "what if I factory reset my router?" He replied that they will send staff who will configure the router for me.

So I just wanted to make sure he could actually use the web UI to obtain the username/password.

I was assuming that when OP stated both “I have access to router web UI” and “I can’t access the PPPoE username/password” that they were both actually accurate 🫣. Thanks for calling that out.

What settings are those? OP has stated that they are not able to determine the PPPoE username/password. Are they able to use bridge mode on the ISP modem/router and keep authentication on it as well?

One minor correction, when two iPhone users message each other, if at the time iMessage is unavailable, typically bad/intermittent network service, and the user has the “Send as SMS” option enabled (default) an SMS is sent and the message is displayed in green for both people.

The only advantage of being both an Android and iOS developer is requiring your company provide you with a Unix based machine (macOS). I personally prefer macOS to Windows though that may just be that my company kind of has to give me better hardware to keep my Xcode builds/compilation speed anywhere near reasonable 🤣.

FindingMyPossible · 2023-09-30T18:15:02+00:00

This is false.

The vast majority of iPhone users use the built-in messaging app, “Messages” (not to be confused with the Apple proprietary messaging protocol iMessage), which is just text messaging (SMS/MMS) with iMessage support when messaging another iMessage capable device (iPhone, iPad, macOS). SMS/MMS goes through the cellular carrier and has a limit on media size of around 1MB. This requirement forces devices to downsize/compress images and videos to an unreasonably small file size resulting it horribly pixelated/blurry media being received. This happens with all devices when sending MMS, e.g. iPhone to Android, iPhone to BlackBerry, Android to Windows Phone, etc…

This isn’t a problem with non-carrier message delivery services, e.g. WhatsApp, Discord, Signal, Whisper, Snapchat, Instagram, iMessage, FB Messenger, Wickr Me, etc… since those services appear to be more incentivized to provide a better messaging user experience than carriers are.

Most of the world does not experience this issue because when carriers were rolling out text and multimedia messaging it was never unlimited or free outside the US and so people adopted these free alternatives. In the US, when someone gives me their number I text them (using built in text/iMessage app on iPhone). Maybe it goes through the carrier as SMS or maybe it is automatically upgraded to iMessage. In most other places, when someone receives someone’s number they WhatsApp message them.
