I'm connected to my new hotspot. What does this number 6 mean? This is the first time I've ever seen a number associated with any Wi-Fi notification.
  • Regular people sure, but this is Lemmy. The nerd concentration here is significantly higher than average. I dunno, just thought it was fairly common knowledge in tech literate people that wireless G is outdated, AX is current, things like that. I can’t imagine spending money on a router without knowing the basics, which I’d consider the G/N/AC etc standard to be the minimum you need to know for making a decent purchase.

  • Fair enough. I thought it was just as common knowledge as wireless cellphone standards. Kinda surprised to see most people on Lemmy don’t pay attention to these, lots of the kinds of people who wouldn’t use the ISP supplied router / AP are here. Or so I thought.

    I don’t know the 802.11 specs at all, but I know enough to purchase a router that won’t be outdated quickly.

  • You’re kidding, right? Wireless G, N, AC, AX etc are commonly printed all over the boxes of routers and is the main way to talk about their speed and how new they are. Do you not buy your own router? It seems as common to me as 3G/4G/5G but for a different kind of wireless.

    I wouldn’t expect my mom to know it, I would expect most people on Lemmy to know and most somewhat tech familiar people to know. Not deep into the specs, but knowing AC is faster than N.

  • Live your best life
  • I haven’t, but I’d try. I know people love them, I just haven’t ever gotten into them myself. I keep coming back to try things I haven’t previously liked, as I’d like to know what other people like about them. It’s how I’ve whittled down what I don’t like to about a dozen things.

  • Live your best life
  • I’m pretty tolerant of most foods but Brussels sprouts are disgusting. It’s one of the dozen or so foods I dislike, and despite trying every couple years, they’ve never caught on for me. They remind me of cabbage which is another one of the dozen. Oddly, I really enjoy fermented cabbage be it sauerkraut or kimchi. Cauliflower is decent but I’ll agree it’s pretty bland at best.

  • T-Mobile In Trouble After It Decides To Build Cell Tower That Is 'Not Safe' For Residents
  • WiFi emissions are tightly regulated and there are no “high power” WiFi equipment unless you flash custom firmware and break the law. The link you posted below is the same power as anything else, up to the maximum allows by law. This is not uncommon, every router / AP does this unless it’s some special low power model.

  • Also, you have been turned into a worm.
  • Given an infinite number of rooms and guests, it is highly likely both he and the boulder are already there.

    I don’t follow. He’s clearly not there already, being at the switch instead of at the hotel.

    Transfer favorite communities between accounts?

    Is it possible to transfer favorite communities from an account on one server to another? Say for example I'd like to have an alt with the same favorites on another server for a backup. Is this possible with wefwef or other means?

    Looking to get my main off lemmy.world to help load balance, but I don't want to refavorite everything; if I could somehow keep them in sync that would be ideal.
