[QUOTE=AugustBurnsRed;52416702]Fi is great. Having both T-mo and Sprint coverage (i think US Cellular too) is huge, plus the public WiFi VPN. No problems whatsoever, bill is cheaper on a light data month and overages are charged at the same rate as pre-paying for data.[/QUOTE]

i want to give Fi a try, but sadly i have a data problem
Yeah I had my LTE (well on a good day 10mbps) in Mississippi as my only connection for 6 months. One month used 550gb on Verizon.
We've used 600gb in one month on my BF's Verizon unlimited plan. If his phone was more competent then we could use only it for gaming as well. As is, we have to split gaming between our phones. My phone gets a rock steady 60 ping. His gets 90 and drops connection often enough to promote near constant swearing.
thanks to t-mobile not counting music streaming data, i manage to scrape by with 2 GB a month before it throttles
it helps that my uni has pretty robust wi-fi coverage
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;52416011]Check out some of Linksys' new rebooted WRT rounters, like the WRT1900AC.
I also love Asus routers. Something like the RT-AC68U would also work well.
Both routers supports DD-WRT and OpenWRT very well.
[editline]29th June 2017[/editline]
Basically, get a wireless AC 1900 router if you can afford it. If not, check out some AC-1200 routers (WRT1200AC; RT-AC66U)[/QUOTE]
I've only heard negative things about the new WRTs and that their actual WRT support is atrocious.

I mean, is it really incredible? Obviously they don't use a USB line in the OS because then you'd just being taking up bandwidth on the USB bus when you have a perfectly good SPI bus to use instead.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with using SPI or i2c for stuff that's on-board, it's just unfortunate that the SPI line tends to get taken out with water damage. It's nice that Linux happens to have suitable drivers for it but I don't see why Apple would implement drivers for something they never had any intention of using either.
He probably could've used the Hackintosh trackpad/keyboard/mouse kexts, actually.
Well you add latency to USB by having more traffic on it, not optimal. SPI and I2C are certainly fine things to use onboard.
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52417111]What are the chances you'd saturate the USB bus and why the lack of drivers anyway? Just seems like a huge oversight.[/QUOTE]
If something else is saturating the USB bus, e.g. transferring files off a flash drive, then the OS has to go through the trouble of negotiating the devices so the mouse and keyboard don't lag while the file transfer is happening.
And yeah macOS already does that but there's literally no reason not to put the trackpad and keyboard on SPI instead and just avoid that entirely. That's what SPI and i2c are there for; communication between on-board devices. Again I don't see any reason for including drivers for something they have no plans on using; if a MacBook gets water damaged they're just gonna replace the entire board anyway, and otherwise there's no reason it should ever be in USB mode while booted into the OS.
So I just copied two videos off my phone, one of them being an old recording of my loud projector and the second one being a recording of my other phone bootlooping and doing weird stuff.
[IMG]https://f.lewd.se/FbhrEl_2017-06-30_10-30-23.png[/IMG]
Here's the thing though, I tried playing the new, over a gigabyte big file, and there was just the old recording, so I checked the filename and all that, yep it's the new one.
So somehow it has managed to clone my other video and hide away over a gigabyte worth of data inside this container. What the actual fuck?!

yes I played both in VLC they're both identical upon playback :what:

Ryzen R7 1700.
X370 Prime.
Nice choice. Got about 3 of my friends to go with it and they all like them as well.
Made myself [url="https://nikomo.fi/"]a site[/url]. Ain't pretty but it works well enough.
looks like just about every other "modern" blog

Try doing that with an M.2 SSD and get back to me.
I fucking feared this day would come but I had not a fucking remote clue that they would intentionally throw themselves under a bus. But they did. Somehow. What the hell are they thinking?
Right, $50CAD goes to the first person who can make this self-hosting shit work and not cost me money each month, because remembering to renew monthly is hard.

Piggybacking off of what helifreak and elitehakor said, you can set up automatic payments, and a lot of places will reduce the average monthly cost if you sign up for a year of service.

I wouldn't be surprised if the touchpad/keyboard for OtherOS/UEFI compatibility can/is just running under a standard 'driver', that apple even supports for externals.
So it might just be loading SPI drivers ... failing, and then not falling back to USB even though they could.
[editline]30th June 2017[/editline]
I would be a pretty apple thing to do, to be aware of this problem, but not address it, if only some of the touchpads features work over USB vs SPI.
Found another little odd mechanism inside a prebuilt:

Really, what subreddits can I post this to? I want more exposure but don't want to put it in a stupid place.
I fixed a thinkstation with a similar thing, the drives were still screwed in but were mounted to a big hinged plate so you could get in under it
Wonder why I've never seen that kinda stuff on custom cases, people would totally pay extra for the ease of building

I mean people say things like prebuilts are awful to work with, but to me at least they really aren't. They're usually better than custom PCs because the cable routing is almost always tidier, and the case has all these weird little ease of maintenance mechanisms in it. I really like these things. I'm going to keep posting videos as I discover more odd little quirks.
