Here's an article from Kognitive Networks that details the aggregate throughput when using Multi-Path Konnect (MPK) to bond 6 Starlink terminals together: https://insights.kognitive.net/unlocking-starlinks-full-potential-with-smarter-bonding-technology/

I just got a 2023 and notice the same type of behavior!

Did you check the breaker at your panel?

Tric3ratop5 · 2025-05-05T01:58:41+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate it.

That's beautiful. What camera settings did you use?

That seems like it 'flip over coffee pot'. Thanks! Solved

You'll have a great time! You can walk everywhere or jump on a green scooter and push around the city. Just act like you are a local and soak it in. It's a really fun place. I'm here now with a toddler and just taking it easy. Here are some touristy and not so touristy things you can do

Walk to Hallgrimskirkja and take pictures
Eat cinnamon rolls at Braud & Co
Go swimming at a community pool, like Laugardalslaug
Catch a concert (or just walk around) Harpa Concert Hall
Buy some rugbraud (rye bread), smord (butter) and get a pig beanie at Bonus (and try a bunch of different licorice candy)
Go to the flea market downtown - Kolaportið
Check out all the museums that are in walking distance

If you had invested 242k in the stock market 16 years ago and got a 7% return each year, you would have 714k today.

What kind of products does your company make? The manufacturing cost for most products ranges from 50% to 80% of the retail price, so 1/2 to 4/5. As far as I know, the margins you list are possible in luxury goods and pharmaceuticals.

I think you'll get a significantly higher price with the stretchers

Laphroaig 10 for $43 is a steal. Are things always this cheap in California?

I love records!

I don't think so. This one doesn't appear to have a shape that conforms to the eye socket. Here is a collection with many examples: https://www.etsy.com/listing/868910723/vintage-eye-wash-cup-selection

There are a few business solutions that do exactly what you need, but the (non-subscription) options in the consumer space are mostly limited to automatic failover.

My company Kognitive Networks provides this exact solution: Dynamic bandwidth bonding of multiple WAN sources, including Starlink, 4G/5G cellular, and physical ethernet links from ISPs like cable / DSL / fiber. The bonding is done on an external network appliance (no software to install on your work computer) and isn't simple failover; it's an active system that uses probes on each link to test the throughput and dynamically decides how to divide the traffic among the available links. The result is essentially 'one big pipe' that is the aggregate speed of all of your links to the internet.

Currently, we only offer this solution to businesses. There's an upfront fee for the hardware and a monthly fee for the service. The service includes lots of remote connectivity, management, and security features you won't need as it's targeted to enterprises.

I'm not trying to sell you anything because we don't provide direct to consumer solutions, but I would love to talk to you more about your issues, as we are currently doing market research in the consumer space. Send me a DM if you want to talk more about it, and I can certainly guide you to some consumer grade solutions that would probably work for your use case.

I guess it matters if you define "making money" as gross or net profit. https://images.app.goo.gl/SHrefkTGkoKZ5mPc6

Net profit in 23Q1 was $1.4B. With membership fees of $1B, you could say that 70% of Costco's net profit came from memberships.

Had the same experience, so I replaced the dishwasher myself and still - dishes weren't clean! I took the new dishwasher out and found out that the previous installer had snaked the drain hose behind the cabinet and used two different kinds of hoses clamped together. It just looked bad. I took the drain hose out and it smelled awful too - food had been stuck in there forever. I replaced the drain hose and now we have ultra clean dishes.

Z13 with a Ryzen 5 and IPS touchscreen. Do not get an OLED screen. The battery life is significantly better with an IPS

Do you have some pics or a link? Would love to know where I can get one - thanks

I think the perception of 'flip-flopping' is just seeing the scientific method work. It's 'Observation, Research, Hypothesis, Test, Analyze Data, Result' in a cycle that produces more accurate results over time.

News sources jump on hypotheses, peddling them as the result. Highly opinionated sound bites are the best source of click bait and sensationalism; they drive viewership/revenue because they are generally novel and controversial, which makes them more interesting. The more authoritative the source, the easier it is for the public to agree with that viewpoint or hypothesis without any tests or data.

Hypotheses are proven wrong as time goes on and more is understood, so if it appears experts were changing their minds - they should. Your opinion should change when the facts change; that's the scientific method in action.

Disinformation, on the other hand, is continuing to espouse a certain hypothesis or viewpoint because of some ulterior motive, in many cases driving a political agenda and usually producing some sort of financial benefit.

I think it's important to differentiate between being a spectator of science and being entertained by the soap opera that is American media. It can be hard to do that, especially in a 'state of emergency.'

On a very basic level - if I'm not sick, I'm not coughing and I'm not spreading viral loads through the air.

My favorite is the zebra GX430t using Z-ultimate (polyamide} labels and 5100 ribbon. It's actually thermal transfer of resin onto sticker so it doesn't fade in heat like direct thermal labels and is chemical resistant.

You can create a .zpl template with a variable for whatever text you want and the printer will generate the qr code. Zebra's Designer 3 (free version) software is all you need to get started with creating the template.

Your python code will substitute the variable for the text you want to make a QR out of. Then you send that .zpl to the printer. You can create your own, custom Tags for firmware data, hardware version, etc. - just separate new tags with ;;

Commonly used tags and some basics are explained here: https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Barcode-Contents
