| Scary_Guy | welcome to the ability to have reasonable speeds, not that you'll get them after the FCC FSCK's the internet | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| jrwren | speeds exactly the same as with old modem. :) | 01:45 |
| jrwren | but at least if i want to pay for faster i will get it. | 01:46 |
| jrwren | zomg, do NOT use -D option on mkfs.ext4 if you want it to go fast. | 01:47 |
| Scary_Guy | they wouldn't give me a new modem, so I upgraded my speed and they had to so I could utilize it. of course after upgrading I didn't want to go back | 02:03 |
| jrwren | oh, i buy my modem instead of rent. | 02:05 |
| jrwren | over the years it saved some money, but... i've also heard of people's bought modems going bad, in which case, you lose money :( | 02:05 |
| Scary_Guy | apparently they say we can't use our own because we use VOIP, which is bullshit | 02:06 |
| jrwren | huh... that... is... weird... is it comcast? | 02:13 |
| greg-g | phones are super effing expensive | 07:40 |
| Scary_Guy | these days yes, seems like that's the plan though. budget phones are still crap and flagships cost what they used to before things got stupid cheap | 07:42 |
| Scary_Guy | I suppose you can thank iPhone for that | 07:43 |
| jrwren | i dunno. $399 iphone is cheap for what you get IMO. | 13:14 |
| jrwren | and there are the free and $1 flip phones out there still. phones seem cheap. | 13:15 |
| cmaloney | morning | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | I think the big issue is the disparity between the "cheap" phones and the flagship phones | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | It's either "This is the same stuff that we were flogging two years ago" or "This is a phone that now costs as much as a house payment" | 14:10 |
| jrwren | flagship phones are stupid. | 14:11 |
| jrwren | its like saying cars are expensive because a mclauren costs 250k | 14:12 |
| Scary_Guy | I like to get last generation flagship phones because they still work well and are cheap. now I like getting them from two generations ago | 15:37 |
