  • Not defending that fool, but, " plenty of people can still do it!" is a pretty fucking brainless tangential excuse and no reason at all. For anything.

    That’s the same shit logic people use when discussing what should be made illegal. “We cannot regulate corporations because plenty would still be able to do bad things!”

    OK then… Let’s ignore the accelerating economic crisis because some people still have money! Hooray! Everything’s easy when you can just ignore problems!


  • That is exactly why I like programming waaay more than IT work.

    … At least until the problem turns out to come from some core component in a key library that has yet to be fixed. Though that’s way less common and easier to fix than when piece of canned software wants to get in a slapfight disagreeing with its own documentation…








  • Oh yes, I’m sadly old enough to have had several of those classic alarms (they exist to this day), and on none of them did the snooze button do anything if the alarm wasn’t already sounding.

    Maybe some fancy old one attempted pre-snooze features, but I don’t know of it! … and neither does the comic creator either, apparently.

    Yea, it definitely does not help a single stream hit higher bandwidth, that’s for sure.

    (ok well it definitely could, but it’d have to be something at a higher network layer that’d know how to set up and juggle multiple data sources, like BitTorrent, or some other similarly ‘smart’ client)

    Of course either way, it requires the external connections to actually be separate. If they ultimately try to cram down the same ISP service, bonding becomes a waste.

    No idea! If I had to guess, the weird ones come from marketing and not engineering. “Bonded” has been a term for a looooong time, not that I actually remember/know the history of it.

    I’m sure some of the things you cited try to make up for deficiencies vs basic bonding, but networking can only get so complicated until you hit higher networking layers.
