Looks like a great and useful app. I'll definitely buy it.

Have you seen PingDoctor? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pingdoctor/id1350044974?mt=12

I quite often login to routers/firewalls to pull the ARP and Route Tables. If there was an option to add an API Key + REGEX + HOST/s for processing with a one-click button that'd be rad

Hate is a powerful word. But I really hate this people. If you work on these projects, shame on you.

You wont have that opinion when its your job, life and freedom.

Draw.io all the way. I've operated as a Network Consultant and Architect for the last 3 years using it exclusively. Not only is it great, it's fast and cross-platform. I will never use visio again.

90% of the product effort goes into out-appleing apple on their website

That's a horrific price to pay for the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

Personally I look to Scandinavia for the ideal model. High economic freedom & mobile capital, excellent healthcare & public services, high degree of social rights & liberties.

They still have the freedom to trade with many countries (China, Russia, Iran etc). China alone would meet the majority of their import needs.

Cuba in reality produces very little goods by way of quantity and quality.

I had communist leaning political sentiment in my youth, and traveled to Cuba in my early 20's.

You could tell the country (and Havana in particular) had once been stunning. I was horrified by what I saw; just how broken the infrastructure was, how poor and destitute the people were. The quality of food was poor, the country dirty, access to basic energy needs unmet. The cost of basic services high (i.e. $100 USD cab ride from airport to Havana).

I spent a lot of time getting to know locals and understanding what life looked like. Ration books for food, suppression of speech and behavior/associations. At the time, I was a mad keen surfer and met a few locals who showed me their hand-made boards, sourced from scrap and supplies stolen from their jobs. The state at the time viewed it as a non-sanctioned activity, and so no resources were approved for it.

That experience for me was certainly the straw that broke the camels back in terms of sympathy for communist-leaning ideologies. I hope the Cuban people break free of state tyranny.

From my perspective, this is born out of NGO's and political elite. This is not an ask from or concern of the general population.

Can they butter it mid-air too?

I took a modern european history paper in college, and the biggest thing I took away was the catholic church's initial opposition to anything that changes in the social sphere. Within a fear years it always adapts it into its power structure and life continues.

Shortest path is fundamentally problematic in networks. The shortest path isn't always the best path.

The shortest path might be a 1Mbps link with high latency. The 'best' path might be several 100Mbps links with low latency chain together.

I've worked with plenty of talented engineers who behave like this. It takes a certain psychology to achieve incredible technical feats, however they often come at the cost of personality issues in playing with others.

You add these personalities together, where everybody believes they are right an everybody else is wrong then it's a recipe for disaster.

People have to learn to adapt to change, or they get burnt out continually hitting the brick wall.

Is it realistic to expect that the people who have surveillance across the whole planet don't know the origins?

DEI was always inherently racist and discriminatory.

You always hope as a technical person to see an engineer running a company. This move, in these circumstances do little to inspire confidence for engineers occupying c-suite positions. I had high hopes for Pat, given his previous track record. But it appears the damage to Intel had already been done.

We love to objectify the press and pretend they do a service to mankind, but they're just another business.

It's cringe when a bean-counter attempts to be an engineer, but it's pathetic when an engineer attempts to be a bean counter.

McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeings money. Engineering culture died and became bean-counter, lowest common denominator corporate-culture. Lobbying went up, outsourcing to third world went up, quality went down, whistleblowers fired and suppressed.

These organizations no longer exist for the purpose of building great products and pushing the limits of engineering. It's easier to operate on the tit of the state and rake in billions through sleazy backroom deals and lobbying with the state acting as an artificial intermediary between cause and effect.

It's unfortunate that Google relentlessly axes great products.

No, honestly it's a great question. And I'm well past the age of big parties, I'm 18 months younger than you.

With Bluetooth, the relationship is Phone streaming directly to the speaker. This places a full dependency on the phone and results in some major issues (IMO).

- With bluetooth you're severely limited by range (between phone and speaker). If you wander off to the bathroom or other end of the house you'll most likely experience degradation, stuttering or disconnects. So your phone must be near the speaker at all times.

- Bluetooth is taxing on phones, sacrificing battery life.

- Bluetooth is painful to share with. Even on the Hyperboom Speaker that has 2x Bluetooth channels. You can't just hand over connectivity to someone else easily.

Spotify Connect changes the relationship drastically and therefore experience. Your phone instructs the Audio Player (M5) to connect to Spotify directly, removing the dependency from your phone. Since the Audio Player will connect directly, this reduces load on your phone and you're free to wander off. It also allows anyone else with a Spotify account to take control of the connection without messy bluetooth disconnect/connect events.

It's just better in all regards IMO.

How's the audio quality? I see plenty of the major tool vendors have bluetooth speakers.

I've got plenty of Ryobi Tools but always wrote off tool vendors when it came to audio.

I was recently in the market for a speaker. Had an odd set of requirements...

- Portable (i.e. bluetooth + battery)

- Loud (as it's predominantly used in my workshop and on the deck - hence portable)

- WiFi support because bluetooth is annoying for connection-sharing. Spotify Connect is predominantly how I like to connect & share.

I looked into Sonos long and hard, and it looked like a complete mess. For the price, it simply couldn't be justified.

Ultimately I couldn't find something that met all my requirements for the price. So I just bought a UE Hyperboom. 20 hours of battery life + USB Power + Optical & 3.5mm Audio in. I bought a M5 Audiocast from AliExpress that provides WiFi Spotify Connect capability.

Well we're over 1,000 days in to Kamala Harris' $42B universal broadband access program and not a single subscriber has been connected.

And SpaceX are sitting there with all the capability, resource and a good chunk of the technology ready to go.

The legacy defence contractors have been watered with a hoover dams worth of taxpayer money for far too long and have little to show for it.

I miss the carefree days of working in fast food in my late teens and early 20s. Getting stoned with friends, eating crappy food, staying up all night living care free. Glad I'm not doing it now, but there was a sense of wonder and joy in the simplicity of it all.

You put any Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus with a I–V–vi–IV chord-progression and some fake lyrics with auto-tune on the radio and you'll instantly have a fan base.

The mass market for music isn't people searching out good music, it's subscribing to whatever drivel is poured down their throats.

“I first saw this in 2013 - an enormous amount of oxygen being produced at the seafloor in complete darkness,” explains lead researcher Prof Andrew Sweetman from the Scottish Association for Marine Science. “I just ignored it, because I’d been taught - you only get oxygen through photosynthesis."

What a sad indictment on modern science.
