I actually didn't know there were more error codes beyond error code 429

Mogzol · 11 days ago

There's "431 Request Header Fields Too Large" which you will see occasionally. But after that 451 is the only other 400-level error code above 429. It was chosen as a reference to the book Fahrenheit 451.

Yeah but I want to know if I should submit, protest or revolt. I need more codes :)

Mogzol · 18 days ago

451 is such a good reference though, other codes just wouldn't be the same :(

No, they should block with a very visible message, tailored to the british public. I know what that status message means, you know it, but the general public doesn't. They need the black page with big letters they used before with sopa/pipa/etc.

Mogzol · 18 days ago

You can return a 451 error with a descriptive page, same as how sites have custom 404 pages

Oh so now we target people for buying inexpensive things? "Oh no! This guy doesn't have a $500 watch".

Mogzol · a month ago

Yeah, I think it's pretty stupid, especially considering the F91-W is one of the most common and best selling watches in the world.

What flag does using a Casio watch raise? I have a G Shock that i love though i don't wear it as often nowadays.

The F-91W has long been associated with terrorism for it's use in improvised time-bombs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W#Usage_in_terrorism

I was thinking the same thing. A taylor swift concert where she tells everyone to sway their phones in unison might trigger this

Mogzol · a month ago

I would assume the detections would need to come from a larger area than that to trigger it, like city sized.

…and most people don’t. it’s an additional expense, additional work, and frankly not worth the headache for like 80%+ of users.

I used to work in this space, and have first-hand knowledge about the prevalence of third party modems with a sample set of over 100k people. What’s your experience?

Mogzol · 2 months ago

Nobody is arguing against that. I fully agree that most people don't. The point was only that you can.

> they only have some level of control over DOCSIS modem

they typically issue a modem / router combination unit, and they can control the router and its radios.

Mogzol · 2 months ago

Yes, but you can replace that with your own unit they don't have control over.

Your described option is not the broader reality.

Most people use the hardware that is provided with the service by default. Last time I checked, there's not even an additional rental fee.

Mogzol · 2 months ago

Sure, but you still can use your own hardware if you choose to. And that's all that the original comment you replied to was saying. If you choose to use your own hardware, then Comcast won't have control over it and cannot do this wifi motion detection.

Of course, most people won't do this, but that's besides the point.

> mounting an Android device as what appears pretty much as a standard USB drive

AFAIK Google got rid of built-in support for this in Android Jelly Bean. Additional tricks are needed to make later versions of Android behave as a USB Mass Storage device. If it works for you out of the box, I suspect it may be specific to your Android distro.

Mogzol · 4 months ago

They're talking about MTP, which is supported by every modern (and old) Android device AFAIK. It's not exactly a USB Mass Storage device, but as long as you're not on a Mac, it behaves basically the same as one.
