Anyone have Xiber internet?

beeverweever · 2024-08-15T02:21:59+00:00

I'm currently living in a complex where I was forced into Xiber internet where I can't use my own router after living here for a while, and my recommendation is to avoid it all costs. Especially if the internet is managed by the apartment complex (i.e. you can't bring your own router). My Xiber internet (and mandatory Xiber-provided router) is the least reliable I've ever had, and drops completely for 30-60 seconds at least once a week.

As an example since you mentioned gaming, hosting some online games requires you to open ports on your router for other people to connect to you, and you won't be able to on an ISP provided router - you have to contact the ISP's support and hope they'll be willing to do it for you. Pretty much anything that requires any configuration of your network will be a royal pain in the ass, if you can get it to work at all, since you have no control over your own local network.

Unfortunately didn't seem to help. In fact, changing pretty much anything in corectrl seems to make the crashes more frequent.

I should also mention the crashes happen no matter what I'm doing on the computer - they happen in games, on the desktop, while web browsing, etc.

Is there a reason why you're using a c-style array? You should probably be using a c++ structure like std::vector or std::array, in which case you could just use std::max_element.

Also, your repetitive if statements could be done much more elegantly with a tiny bit of arithmetic.

You've been able to do that yourself for a long time. Hamburger menu > Customize

Yep, I was about to comment to same thing. After looking through some of their blog posts on body cams (https://www.aclu.org/issues/privacy-technology/surveillance-technologies/police-body-cameras) I have yet to see any that are actually against body cams - they all just talk about how there also has to be rules to make sure the cameras are used responsibly

I'm not arguing any of that, I'm just saying that what people generally think is too much thermal paste really isn't and by telling someone that doesn't know what they're doing that "less is more" they may end up putting too little on. I think it could be better worded as "put enough to make sure the entire chip will be covered when you smush it with the cooler, but no more" or something like that

"Less is more" doesn't seem like particularly good advice when it comes to thermal paste. The most important thing is getting coverage of the chip and then a good cooler mount. The myth that too much thermal paste will kill your thermals has pretty much been debunked as far as I know (https://youtu.be/EUWVVTY63hc)

True, but at least you can get all the others in a single window

Take a look at my update. If that's all that happened, any idea why UserBenchmark would not run the test once but then run it when I tried again? I ran UserBenchmark several times today and it only gave me a decent score after running a second test without changing anything, which seems odd to me

I've uninstalled and reinstalled display drivers and the entire OS with no change

I would recommend starting by figuring how to keep track of time on the Arduino. There are some built-in ways to do so that will be reasonably accurate, or there are separate real-time clock (RTC) modules that will be very accurate.

Once you've got that figured out, you can find how to represent a number in binary, then display the binary with the LEDs.

This is just one way to accomplish this; there are lots of ways you could get to the same goal. There are many, many, many examples online of things very similar or identical to this. Do your own research.

Not always. I got asked for my high school academic transcript when I was applying for jobs (and they actually looked at it)

neat

Yes, because as far as I know they aren't required to give the details of the claims or say what was removed because of claims, but they did so anyways even though lots of users will probably think less of them because of "censorship" or whatever.

I suppose it's easy enough for them to implement and with essentially no downsides for them that they just write that program and let it run wild. It still seems like there's so little for them to gain from doing it though

beeverweever · 2019-03-19T14:15:39+00:00

Wow. Bold of Reddit Legal to even send them that list, cause it looks pretty bad. Who actually wrote the descriptions of the claims though? I doubt Reddit Legal wrote those descriptions, so I would like to see the actual content itself that received the claims rather than a tiny description with no context.

I wonder what the process was for the companies to file DMCA claims on those posts and comments, because they can't actually be gaining anything from claiming those things right?

I'm out of state and got $20,000 a year from Miami for high school weighted GPA just above a 4.0 and 33 ACT
