People who got these little computers.

Like, just a minuscule component of their life.


It's such a different world.

Went to person's place today,  they have just a 1.5feet by 3 feet table, with a 22 inch monitor 16:9, and an 8 year old office dell, single channel ram, no gpu,  a million icons on the screen.   So THEY USE IT, Yea,  but to Tp4, it's rather insane.

They even watch netflix on it.

It's almost like, people don't know faster computers exist.

Like,  they're sitting there waiting for something to happen, and it's like, oh, it's supposed to be like this.

little computers.


That's the way I feel about laptops. I visited my daughter last week and felt like I was using a toy.

Wifi 8,

Guys, wifi 7 doesn't even work, because people still using wifi 4 and 5.

None of that anti-collision stuff works unless EVERYONE has anti-collision.


So, unless you buy wifi 7+ for yourself and your whole building,  it won't do a damn thing except high throughput in the same room as the router.


For single homes,  yea,  it's faster,  buhhhh I have trouble seeing how any device would need that much wireless bandwidth.  The latency isn't any better.

I bought a trackball, tried one 10-20 years ago and couldn't make it feel right.

This time, 48 hours in, it is feeling easy and good. I may settle in on it this time.

One would assume they're higher precision now.
