I have the exact model it recommended, just the older one which isn’t for sale any longer.

My brain is rusty, but I feel like MSDOS 5.11 was where things finally just worked. TSRs, memory managers, etc. Moving a lot and not being a packrat I've lost some of that history.

It'd be interesting to see 5.x and 6.x released.

ListenLinda · 2 years ago
I think it was 3.3x where things started working. I don't recall 4.x being around much. I do remember 5 and 6. For some reason 4 never made a splash in my circle of friends.
ListenLinda commented on Ask HN: Why does it seem hard to buy an ONT for fiber?    · Posted by u/apollo_mojave
ListenLinda · 2 years ago
In my market you can’t plug into the ONT because it still requires authentication.

The modem the ISP provides has hard coded settings to limit connection counts as well as rate limit and probably other things. There is a reason they sell full duplex gigabit for so cheap, there are gremlins in the hardware.

I don't think I've ever seen so many positive comments. It must be Christmas.

What really amazed me was the Command-Tab icon. My brain registers what it is faster than all the other icons.

I knew this wasn't an overkill network when I saw an SG300 switch in the first pic.

IT can screen capture you computer without you knowing so this isn't new. Furthermore they can also see what application is in the foreground and OCR the captured image for more information. The possibilities to monitor you are endless.

Do you have any sources for this? I am familiar with people who manage private properties on federal lands and nothing you said here passes the smell test to me. In particular, environmental groups have been loudly calling for better wildland management practices for at least the past decade, typically from the direction of considering and adopting indigenous land management practices such as prescribed burns.

It sounds like you're trying to scapegoat environmentalists when the recent tragedies were obviously the fault of PG&E mis-managing their assets and refusing to allocate more budget or personnel to manage what are obviously tinderbox scenarios.

The litigation is primarily from environmental groups.

A few years back CA had serious wild fire issues. PG&E was just the scapegoat. There are multiple factors but the main issue is that it's nearly impossible to get the environmental documentation (Environmental Impact Statements or EISs) prepared and approved for prescribed burns on federal land due to legal challenges from environmental groups that really have no idea what they are doing.

The system is broken.
