Since the headphones I budgeted for didn't work out, I used the money to buy a Fitbit Alta to replace my old Fitbit Ultra. I stopped using my Ultra a few years ago because I broke its belt clip (twice, just by sitting and bending wrong) and figured if I used it sans-clip, I'd break the thing. I was kinda torn between the Alta and the (older) Charge and the (newer) ChargeHR, because they have altimeters like my Ultra did and the Alta lacks. But since I don't need the heart-rate monitoring from the HR and the display on the Charge, I went with the Alta. I only forsee one problem: the watch this replaces was waterproof enough to use in a shower, this isn't. So I have to remind myself to take it off before I take a shower. Also, Alta doesn't roll off the tongue very well, and every time I try talking about it I have to re-check if my new toy is an Alta, Ulta, Aria, or some combo of the three.

Sweet, sweet gigabit fiber to the home, with no blocks or data caps of any kind. Now to find a router that can actually deliver that kind of NAT throughput.

An AKAI AP-307 direct drive turntable. I don't have room, time or money to get into vinyl, but it was super cheap at the Salvation Army. I think I might have a problem.

gregday posted:Sweet, sweet gigabit fiber to the home, with no blocks or data caps of any kind. If you have a spare computer that was built in the last decade or so I'd suggest PFsense. Just as good as any enterprise level router and after setting up adapters during initial install works out of the box with little or no configuration required. You will need dual NICs or a dual/multi interface adapter.

The 6P is loving MASSIVE and it's helping me not buy a Surface for digital doodling on the go. For now...

When your downloads are all 5+GB 1GB/s internet is amazing. I don't want to move because this city has such cheap fast internet. With LogMeIn, i can transfer data to m buddy in the same city nearly as fast as if he was connected to my network. Waffle Conspiracy has a new favorite as of 16:16 on Apr 13, 2016 |

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Oh goodness please don't be me from half a decade ago and forgo an anti-fracture membrane just to save a few bucks Had not heard of this from any of the three contractors we got quotes from, or the floor depot we bought the tile from. Famous Last Words: I think we will be fine; both me and our contractor went over the entire house, and we have no foundation cracks anywhere. Its a 10 year old home, and none of our neighbors have had foundation problems. All that said, we won't live there more than another 5 years anyways. Vastarien posted:and buying the Nexus 5x instead.

sassassin posted:What possible use could you have for pipes that large? If I could get that speed for $140/mo I absolutely would. I've recently been "upgraded" to 10Mbit (It's the fastest I can get, ok?) at home and it's fantastic coming from a ~1Mbit DSL connection. But for an extra $100/mo I would totally jump on 1Gbit for no reason other than saying thanks to the provider for even offering it.

blarzgh posted:Had not heard of this I hadn't either, until I finally called a contractor in to explain what the heck was going on when things started looking dicey. "I'm saving some money," I said to myself when I bought the supplies. "Lay it yourself, it's just tile on slab. There's no way to gently caress that up." I was wrong. Dead wrong. After a few months, I had gaps in my grout. In less than half a year, I had cracked tiles. Twelve months later, poo poo hit the fan. The slab had ruptured catastrophically, ruining the tiling job I'd done, and a portal to the underworld consumed my living room ensemble and my new TV. A cacophonous chorus erupted from the gap where my tasteful-yet-traditional ceramic floor tiles had once been: an undead army's battle cry. Atop a flaming steed with gleaming eyes of obsidian rode the reinvigorated corpse of John Wayne, leading the charge against the world of the living. They erupted from the hole in the foundation with all the rage that furious, damned spirits could muster, paying no mind to the few remaining intact Style Selections "Colonial Wood" pecan ceramic floor tiles available at Lowes.com. The reign of our dark lord John Wayne is a brutal one, the skies darkened with acrid smoke and peppered not by shining stars but by the glittering eyes of myriad flying beasts whose sole purpose is to fill us with terror (or, at best, unease). So, you know, at least consider an anti-fracture membrane

So many uses. -online backups would be faster and less annoying -use a slingbox to be able to watch your tv over the internet. -set up a vpn on your network so you can remotely use your stuff at home. -home security and camera feeds that much clearer and faster -steam, netflix, etc. work better And more that I'm probably missing.

I love how something as simple as laying tile yourself incorrectly will somehow open a portal to Hell. I think I'll stick with vinyl or laminate, thanks
