@ryanc Just extend the network and update your DHCP. You have everything get the IP from DHCP, right? :)

@thomasfuchs I rarely buy paper books nowadays, mainly because I've ran out of shelf space years ago. I'm not sure what I'd have been doing without e-books.

@thomasfuchs @gsuberland Make sure you install the latest driver from the network card chipset manufacturer, especially if it's a Realtek card (but also Intel; if it's Broadcom, buy an Intel or Realtek card, they'll work better). For wired NICs, both the inbox drivers, and drivers from Windows update are problematic (for wireless NICs, download the latest driver offered on https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/, it'll usually be newer than what Windows Update installs automatically, and getting WiFi drivers from chipset manufacturer seems to be practically impossible).

@shadowwwind @alecmuffett There's a security update for iOS 18 available now.

@thomasfuchs Interesting. Never noticed that before. And you're right, the first suggestion has last post from September 2023, third one from February 2024.

@thomasfuchs Where do you get these suggestions?

@ryanc Which ones? I have some cheap ones and they run hot.

@990000 @thomasfuchs These are some of the possible combinations for cables that have USB-C connectors on both sides:

• USB 2.0 only
• USB 3.0/3.1/3.2
• Thunderbolt3
• Thunderbolt4/USB4
• Thunderbolt5

And these can each support either 3 A or 5 A power and either up to 20 or up to 48 V. TB3/4/5 cables are usually marked by having number 3/4/5 next to the connector, but the others typically have no markings. Good luck figuring out what the cable supports!

@ryanc When I called service for my garage doors (after one of the cables snapped), the tech told me that they're supposed to be serviced every two years, but also that nobody ever does that.

@ryanc Constant 82 MB/s traffic, what are you doing‽

@thomasfuchs Top or bottom? If it's bottom, there are tools to resurface it (if it's top, there's nothing you can do).

@thomasfuchs Why does it have a whip attachment?

@thomasfuchs I've done this with European pencils…

@ryanc I just use an UPS.

@mcc I've yet to find BT mice that work and aren't by Logitech. Everything else has dropouts.

@soatok Doesn't Signal being centralised actually help here – the more people use it, the easier it's to get lost in the crowd?

@hannah How much nicer those Persians look compared to the modern ones…
