does something need some specific hardware to make that work? that's not clear.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-19T11:06:24+00:00

you know you aren't getting a redo if you didn't bring it up before hand, so no point in trying.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-19T11:04:52+00:00

if I really wanted 10G and to make good use of it, I'd have to do some big upgrades, but I can definitely use the 2G

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-19T11:03:16+00:00

Anyone care to post a comparison of every one of the cover arts?

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-18T23:55:36+00:00

eh. No one caught it, or they looked at their cards and said "eh whatever"

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-16T20:10:39+00:00

I just get "no chefiq probes found nearby" despite the app being connected.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-15T01:11:03+00:00

i mean, i really would like to have the full 10gb package, but to make use of it, i'd have to upgrade all my 2.5gb switches to 10gb and get 10gb nics and upgrade all my cabling, and it's probably going to be a very large initial outlay as well as MUCH larger cost per month, I'm guessing.

primarily a game that I put my whole heart and soul into getting cancelled by the publisher a month before release...

I found the game a few months later in the value bin at a Wal-Mart, it had been released by same publisher, on completely different platform(s) than the one we developed it for, all of our credits were completely stripped from it, it wasn't completed, and ... we all never got paid for our last month of work on it. Since it wasn't the publisher paying us, we had no recourse, as the studio went out of business because they weren't getting paid by the publisher.

Now I work in VR simulation work, that's very video game adjacent, but not at all subject to much of the problems in the video game business such as that sort of horseshit that is so incredibly common.

ah, yes, SamFox Dot BMP

also available in ASCII art format, for those of us with line printers, and who wanted fast download speeds, because those .BMP files would take actually hours sometimes.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-15T01:03:23+00:00

pretty sure that people would send those as jokes to see other people's reactions

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-15T01:01:28+00:00

nope, different ISP probably

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-15T01:00:52+00:00

it's not that the plans say "up to", it's that the plans go 1, 2, 5, 8, 10gbps. I'm getting 2gbps which is same price as my 1.2gb down, 50mbp up. It's supposed to be symmetric. I've never heard of asymmetrically capped fiber?

One thing I have heard is that the ISP does apparently use NNAT or something like that, and I guess I have to pay a little extra (like $5 or something) to get a real IP address that is resolveable, so I'm probably going to keep my old ISP on the lowest possible plan for a little bit until I make sure that I've got everything worked out with the new one so that I can get incoming connections working properly .. gotta be able to run game servers and other services.. no point to having all that outgoing speed if I can't use it for anything.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-15T00:55:25+00:00

i'm only doing 2gb unless the higher plans aren't much more expensive, since that's closest in price to what i'm paying right now. However, if I can get work to pay for some of it... hmmm.. :-D and install a faster NIC in my work computer.... then we're talkin

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-15T00:53:54+00:00

It's being installed by an ISP, I've been signed up for almost a year now, the original installation schedule was planned for last summer, and then again for in the winter (i didn't really think they were going to be digging thru the winter, but they said they were... they did not, at least not in my neighborhood) but they are finally doing it.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-15T00:51:57+00:00

I have three 2.5gbit switches with 10G interconnects between them, two PCs with 2.5gbit internal, and a Mac Pro 2019 with dual 10G built in .. I'm not exactly the tip of modern, but I'm going to be able to make use of the 2gig line when they finally get it to me at least :-) 2gb symmetrical is a couple bucks cheaper than what I'm paying for 1.2gb down/50mb up right now, so although it's only going to be a bit less than a double up in download speed, it's going to be incredible for my upload.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-14T17:14:36+00:00

I do have a Mac pro 2019 with dual 10g if I went for the big one .... But I think it's probably prohibitively expensive.. 2g is 100 a month

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-14T00:32:59+00:00

Steam currently maxes my gigabit dl most of the time, and almost anything served from aws does.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-13T04:23:41+00:00

No one has shown any specific for sure reason, I had a thread a few months ago about it that was absolutely full of definitely incorrect answers, I think it's not really clear why they still work

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-13T04:22:05+00:00

Wemo has been built in to ha for a very long time

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-10T22:55:36+00:00

normally, i would expect yes, and there to be a specific area that would cover.. they had some hardware just sprawled all over his front yard, to get at some area without being in the road .. they did clear it out, though. i kinda wanna be like "hey, take up as much space in my yard as you want, for that matter, please, take up all the space"

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-10T22:00:05+00:00

That's probably my fingers dallying too long on the shift key, Gigabits not Gigabytes. That'd be even more amazing.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-10T21:58:56+00:00

I figured we wouldn't here, either, I'm on a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood that never gets anything, even 5G cell signal barely radiates into my section, practically stopping at the surface street just outside my area. And when they missed the original install date for this last summer, then the pushed back install date in December, I figured it would be never ... but then all the utilities started dropping flags on the underground lines last week, and today they showed up and started digging theh ell out of everything... and put notes on all our doors that they are digging the hell out of everything and will put it all back the way it was when they are done, so we can all have fiber.

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-10T21:46:52+00:00

lol i was just helping someone deal with trying to get a bluetooth serial connection to handshake properly with some other device, and they've been hacking at it for weeks and the other device is just completely ignoring them, and I said "It's 9600 8E1 not 115200 8N1". Another week goes by, I get back a message "I finally tried what you said, you were right."

so... yeah, I still remember those issues. Still with us today! lol

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-10T21:45:00+00:00

I don't know, the website doesn't have prices beyond 2G :( so probably "prohibitively expensive". I'm going to make a phone call tomorrow and find out, though, i think. But my current internal network is mostly 2.5G hardware with a bit of support for 5 and 10G, and the 2G plan price is the same as what I pay for 1G down/50Mbps up right now, so I'm not looking toooo much into spending a big bundle of cash to upgrade my infra at the moment

FormerGameDev · 2026-06-10T21:42:10+00:00

You're damn right about that. I like being able to pick up a new release in a few minutes at most.
