I’ll just quote the OpenWRT Wiki here, because I think half the comments here confuse mesh and roaming:

Are you sure you want a mesh?

If you are looking for a solution to enable your user devices to seamlessly roam from one access point to another in your home, you need 802.11r (roaming), not 802.11s.

It is unfortunate that some manufacturers have used the word “Mesh” for marketing purposes to describe their non-standard, closed source, proprietary “roaming” functionality and this causes great confusion to many people when they enter the world of international standards and open source firmware for their network infrastructure.

• The accepted standard for mesh networks is ieee802.11s.
• The accepted standard for fast roaming of user devices is ieee802.11r.

These are two completely unrelated standards.

No, I don’t, but thanks for asking

Very cool. Now I’m even more curious to see if they will release a CPU with two CCDs with cache underneath.

• Rome Total War
• Anno 1602
• Stronghold

I suspect I’m driven by nostalgia and by literally hundreds of hours of repeat exposure.

I think there were like two couples and another person entering the building just ahead of me, so I had to wait 10 seconds until it was my turn to drop my envelope in the urn. This was in Switzerland, in a suburb of Zürich.

But more often I just walk in up to the box, say hello to the people organising and drop it in directly. I’ve never encountered a queue yet.

Wow they really went into their stupid useless plan in the most ham-fisted way

He even looks like a movie character for whom they tried to cast a person that embodies dereliction of duty!

On a general note I would say for the individual consumer it doesn’t matter so much if they keep releasing yearly, we just don’t have to buy yearly.

It’s kind of a waste of resources for the manufacturers supporting more models than necessary. If that leads to shorter support schedules that’s when it impacts us. But as you observed they seem to be lengthening at the moment.

I’m currently on a Pixel 6 from 2021, that I bought used from someone who was chasing the latest and greatest. I have no reason for changing yet. After October 2026 when support ends I’ll see if I have to migrate to Graphene OS or something. If no secure path forward exists I may have to get newer hardware then.

From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Does what? I don’t see anything in the sentences before that “this” could refer to.

I got three, they all seem to work on me, but sometimes I prefer one over the other for no clear reason.

1. Counting my breath duration. Breath in at normal speed, count how long it is, then breath out slower than that by two or three counts.

2. Force my thoughts to become disorganised. I do something like free association between concepts and pictures of the inner eye. Common starting point for me is a free flight over a hilly landscape, then random things, woods, trees, rocks, water whatever, I don’t try to control anything about the theme. If I start thinking coherently or about something concrete from my life, I just start again, with another nature scene.

3. Imagine a calm scene. The suggested starting point I was told was floating on an air matteress in an alpine lake (helps that we know those around here, but I’m sure non-alpine lakes work too) and imagine the things you can see uphill as you drift around your axis.

I wouldn’t say it’s in trouble. It’s about to be retired by ICANN. But there isn’t any trouble, just standard policy processes.

No shit, after her dating Kate Harrison for a while and them probably even exchanging rings of some sort, this isn’t that much of a surprise.

Electrical shocks applied to asystolic hearts to restart them is a classic.

The shock serves to stop fibrillation and to induce a rhythmic firing of the neves, that’s why it’s called defibrillation. Fibrillation is random firing of the nerves, asystole is no firing.

If I recall correctly my father told me you use an injection of adrenaline for asystolic hearts. Kind of like in Pulp Fiction. Though I think injecting directly into the heart isn’t the preferred method anymore.

Repeated surgical corrections for your ever growing earlobes

Changing taxes levied on income doesn’t change the income itself. Do they mean remaining income after tax?

Are you guys taxed at the source or where does this confusion come from?

Enforcing their religious views on employees, even if they turn out to have that right, is so morally wrong.

Who is that? I looked up a picture but still got no idea.

“Bilbo Baggins My Balls”

Good group name though!
