Actually imo for most people it’s not gonna be better than WiFi.
There’s a fairly high chance of having issues depending on your electrical wiring and choice of outlets.
Additionally the latency is not amazing and while you may get higher raw bandwidth, for a lot of users latency has more of an effect on the quality of their experience and if it’s not any better than their WiFi was they aren’t likely to be all that impressed.
I would either upgrade the WiFi instead or suck it up and run some Ethernet.
The cables can often be easily tucked under the moulding between the wall and floor, especially if you have carpet. Ethernet is low voltage so you do not really need an electrician to wire it for you.
Worst case find a way to shove it through the walls or behind some moulding, it’s not a fire risk at that wattage so go nuts. No matter how annoying the effort, in the end you will be much happier for much longer than any other solution.

I really tried to like openboard but the way it hides the % key and the location of the / drove me back to gboard

- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
It is a consequence of how the networks were physically built when providers thought that cable and download speeds were all anyone needed; it’s not just a software switch they can flip if they wanted to.
This is true of so much of our infrastructure in the US.
Not bandwidth speeds specifically but just aging infrastructure that was built out long ago and not properly maintained and/or updated over time

After they abandoned the multiplayer cause they coudnt give it money printing shark cards?
At least the multiplayer got attention, the single-player game never got anything after the initial release.

This seems like it would be fun to do before bringing a still sample to the doctor or sending it to one of those labs

Plus it probably still has that mixed fruit juice in it for extra flavor

- Comment on What was the original use of the ‘☠️’ emoji 11 months ago:
A whitish-gray, cartoon-styled human skull with large, black eye sockets. Commonly expresses figurative death, e.g., dying from extreme laughter, frustration, or affection.
Popular around Halloween. Not to be confused with ☠️ Skull and Crossbones, though their applications may overlap.
Skull was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

Try Darn Tough socks, they have a lifetime guarantee.
If your socks ever wear out you can send them back and they will replace them for free, no receipt or anything else needed.
The extra initial cost has been worth it for me

I like the way AppImages work on my Kubuntu system:
They automatically update themselves in the background and then trigger a system notification letting you know the app will be updated the next time you close it, with a button to initiate it now.

Is Linux a novelty?
- Comment on I just want to set a timer for MY FOOD WINDOWS WHY? 1 year ago:
I work at night and Windows loves to push Windows Updates at night regardless of my normal work schedule.
Take a trip to the bathroom or just don’t move the mouse for a few minutes and Windows will reboot (fuck whatever you had running) and spent an hour or two installing an update (fuck the rest of your night)
Linux doesn’t ever try to force itself on you like that, it’s a respectable OS

Note: A connection to Microsoft OneDrive is required. Timers will not trigger without an Internet connection.

Exactly, the app should install updates in the background and apply then after the app is closed.
