It's 2018, why aren't the Good Gaming Rigs being submerged in mineral oil yet? That was going to be a thing I thought.

I’ve never worked anywhere that didn’t have weird wireless issues in certain parts of the building or meeting rooms where the wireless “just didn’t work.”

guess using a spectrum analyzer as part of a post install walkthrough just isn’t a thing anymore? dunno.

no clue what equipment we use but my workplace has spotless wifi in every room, on every floor. only problem I ever had was it got kind of slow on new laptop day when everyone was syncing and installing new stuff

presumably you are not using a macbook then

macbooks come with the worst wireless chip known to man, which barely work under ideal conditions. apple loves the broadcom chips because they combine bluetooth and wireless in a single-chip solution

(here's hoping that apple doing more and more of their own chip work means bluetooth integrated to a w1 core, and no more loving broadcom)

yep its a Thinkpad. wouldn't the intel solutions also be single chip though?
