MisterOblivious posted:"Kids are smart with computers they've had tech their whole lives!" I feel that the generation that grew up with the evolution of computing from Amiga/DOS through the early versions of Windows have a leg up on both the generation before AND after. Growing up with tinkering to get poo poo to work builds skills that are harder to develop otherwise. Younger people who grew up with modern(ish) computers and smartphones seem less savvy. Of course this is just my impression and I could we wildly wrong.

TheFluff posted:Nah. You literally cannot buy working wifi in consumer devices. It does not exist. Maybe for enterprise it's different but in practice it's noticeably flaky no matter the setup. It works fine most of the time, but that's not good enough. Reliable networks exist, even in consumer devices, but they use cables. At home, I have an Asus RT-AC68U. My desktop has essentially unbroken line of sight to it, and it's maybe five meters away. I run on the 5GHz band and there are pretty much no other SSID's visible on that band where I live. I usually only connect one device to the wifi at a time, and most of the time I can get 4-500 megabits/s, which is pretty much as good as you can reasonably expect. Under these close to ideal conditions though, wifi is still loving wifi. You get ping spikes, you get dropped packets, and I can only actually use my gigabit internet connection if I use it from my NAS (which is connected to the router with a cable). The wifi service in Windows has a long standing bug that makes it derp out every once in a while and start causing 1-2 second ping spikes every 30 seconds unless you turn off the wireless autoconfig service. At work where basically everyone connects via wifi and we do have enterprise AP's setup, it still doesn't work reliably and occasionally flakes out. I have a similar problem with an Asus 5GHz card, generally works if I use the Asus driver and not the MS one, but ... still issues. This is like 3 meters from the router, with near line of sight.

AlexDeGruven posted:I tried working from my mom's place up north a couple of weeks ago. She's on satellite internet. Everything was fine when I was working in email, chat, etc. But as soon as I had to SSH into something I noped the gently caress out of there. 660ms *average* round-trip means typing is a nightmare. Decided to take a half day after fighting with it for about 10 minutes. I used SSH over SATCOM for 3.5 years (navy service), only the weak give up, the rest of us become good at blind-typing without making errors Also have you heard of mosh?

mehall posted:Nah, gently caress that. Unless I'm specifically on call, I'm not reliably reachable. I mean, most of the time my boss could get me through personal channels, though we've not had a need for that yet, but if I'm not paid to work, I ain't at work. Remote or not. My work phone goes on silent at 4:30 pm, and no one at work have my personal cell number. It's not listed anywhere either, so best of luck trying to get it.
