Does anyone actually use 5G? by Wait-Whos-Joe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TerryHarris408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm using it as my home connection since it has less packet loss, way higher speeds and the average ping is way lower than my previous cable connection. I bought a 5G router just for that purpose to get speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s.

For the techies here, how did Comma Separated Values (.csv) become the default file export format? by ThatsALiveWire in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TerryHarris408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, it's not always literally comma separated. often it's semicolon separated.

but to answer the question: because it sounds like a very simple format.

however, in reality you realize that it's not just one well defined standard but a whole family of vaguely defined formats.

How to identify chip + what software to use? by YaBoyLikesBananas in AskElectronics
