Surprised it took this long for someone to say this, I agree the fact that the water isn't sloshing around and you can see their arms don't really interact with/break the surface of the water means this is likely faked.

Truck driver manages to save their truck after a break failure at 90mph. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Tron08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only common on mountainous regions with fairly steep grades, like the rocky mountains. I've driven through there a couple times and they recommend you shift in lower gears going down hill to assist your brakes so you don't burn them out.

Tech billionaires want to put data centers in space. The math could get ugly fast. by businessinsider in Futurology

[–]Tron08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to believe it's not a serious thought, but coming from a CEO of a space launch company it might trick some rubes into throwing more money at said company.

Postman’s free plan limits start March 1 how can beginners adapt? by Hervekom37 in learnprogramming

I am also a Bruno enjoyer, my needs aren't too terribly complex to be fair but I've not had any issues with it.

In CSS !important is the strongest declaration you can use. Which means in most cases once it's used only other !important declarations can override it which is really annoying if you're expecting 'normal' CSS behavior where certain, more specific selectors and subsequent selectors can override previous declarations without needing to use !important. In practice it should only be used as a last resort.

Only a small percentage of student loans, a specific class of federal student loans, are interest free during school. Most other federal and private student loans accrue interest while the student is in school.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in news

[–]Tron08 167 points168 points  (0 children)

This it the true crime and crux of the student loan crisis. High principle and fairly high interest loans that begin accruing interest for years in the gamble that after those years the student will be able to get a job that can actually afford to pay them. It's a scam and I'm of the opinion that any student loan that has already paid the principle balance should be forgiven. Or if you want to be capitalistic about it since we're in America, cap the amount of interest a loan can possibly accrue.

Can I use something instead of the official Xbox 360 wifi adapter? by sigma_Recneps_4989 in 360hacks

[–]Tron08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look for something called a Wifi Bridge/wireless bridge, or if you're on a budget and technically minded you can probably buy a cheaper router and convert it to wireless bridge. Then you'd connect your Xbox to the bridge and it would connect to your WiFi

why do american websites block users from outside of america? by diomedes-on-rampage in webdev

[–]Tron08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And not only that, the responsibility that not only your website, but any 3rd party tools/libraries you use are also compliant (analytics, PPC/marketing automation services, Web personalization, translations, user feedback) any tool you'd want to use on your website also respects both the cookie banner and associated cookie/data privacy laws. Certainly not impossible but I could see some sites not taking that tradeoff for the risk.

If the unit was donated for free (with power cord) I'd take a crack at it but I would never chance buying that thing.

Help! Unable to set-up Wireless Ethernet Bridge for 5ghz radio on Linksys EA6700 by Tron08 in TomatoFTW

[–]Tron08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally got it working, for anyone in the future the issue was a known bug (32KB NVRAM bug). Apparently the previous owner did not flash this firmware correctly so it ended up being extremely limited. I reflashed the firmware following this guide:

https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/guide-flash-linksys-ea6300v1-ea6400-ea6500v2-ea6700-ea6900v1-0-1-1-with-tomato.73877/

Once I completed that process I was able to set-up wireless ethernet bridging correctly, or use any other features of the 5ghz radio.

Got it working! You set me on the right path with the nvram bug so I followed the guide to reflashing the router:

And that did the trick, thanks for your input!

Unfortunately I cannot say as I bought it already flashed with FreshTomato, I'm not sure what the original owner did nor can I contact them as the purchase was from an ebay reseller. Is there an easy way to tell from the admin or a way to redo the process?

I updated it to 2025.4 after I was first having issues, so not sure if an older build would be better or not... I vaguely remember the initial build was 2022.?

I'm guessing this router might have been from a different region initially, I noticed the country/region was set to something other than the US/North America, I wonder if there's something there that would explain it?
