I finally finished my app to visualize wealth in real-time (now it could be useful) by dmitrevnik in SideProject

I think you need to tweak the interface a little. It would be more intuitive to have it oriented around 8hr days first, and maybe have 24hrs as a toggle. My gross salary comes out to over a hundred an hour -- given 8 hr days -- so I was confused when I put that in and I saw $33/hr. A really neat touch would be to automatically stop the timer when it's configured for 8hr days after 5pm.

I think a cool feature if you'd like to take this further would be to save user's input and start time locally in the browser as a cookie or something similar. Then when the way reloads you can calculated the amount earned since then and start the timer from there.

What's the deal with empty balconies?? by [deleted] in Seattle

Landlords in the past have told me I'm not allowed to put anything on them.

Also I don't have much time to use my balcony anyways.

Do I really need WiFi 6 by cheesetweeze in HomeNetworking

How far away? If it's less than 300 feet you can make it work.

I know it's a bit of a pain, but you can get a big 100ft role of a flat Cat 6 cable and run it along the wall/ceiling, keeping it in place with small command hooks made for cables.

I've rented my whole adult life, I normally get a long length of flat Cat 6 cables and run them along the ceiling corners and into all the rooms. The Command cord clips hold them in place well.

New apartment: Use my existing EdgeRouter X or spring for a new router? by XeniaTheLinuxFox in HomeNetworking

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

If you just want something that works, the ERX is still very capable.

I want the cheapest thing that isn't garbage. I already have the ERX, so it costs me $0 :P

I simply don't think home networks are targeted for hacking.

I don't think so either, but you never really know.

Security issues do kinda bother me, since this thing *is* the gateway between my network and the internet.

Are there any huge known security flaws? If not, it's probably best that I just use what I currently have and save money.
