I don't have any specific recommendations as it's just an antenna and there's a million of them, but higher = better and generally bigger = better. And your exact location matters as to what style you should get. Check here to see where the towers are in relation to your house. If you're on the outskirts and most towers are in the same general direction from you, maybe get a yagi directional antenna. If you're in the thick of it with towers in all directions, you should probably get an omni antenna.

Yes but Netgear forums pretty much call this normal with lots of devices and heavy usage. It doesn’t feel normal. Maybe someone else wants a cheap set but I’ll make a bot first.

It is "normal" for the consumer grade stuff that you have. I realize UniFi is not a huge step up from that but I've sure seen a noticeable improvement in stability since upgrading.

Ah yes, I remember you from this thread where you were talking down to everyone who bought "decade old tech" from Ubiquiti while pumping all the pros of that Orbi system that fell into your lap for super cheap. As I asked in that thread, have you found out yet why someone let that gear go for so little money?

To answer your question, I manage 6 Ubiquiti routers for friends and family and no, they never bog down or need to be reset.

Another example:


I have a need for a drill to use on a boat very occasionally. No inverter so a corded drill is no use. Could keep a battery drill on board, but I would have to shuffle battery packs around all the time to make sure I had a good one when needed. Pain in the arse.

My two options were:

Get an inverter for a corded drill, but I'd rather not have another thing on board taking up space and needing maintenance. Gotta mount it, etc. And this drill would be the only use for it.

OR

Make a 12v corded drill. Get a battery drill and wire up a battery pack to clip onto the boat's batteries. This sounded fun so I went with it.


Got a cheap 12v drill and some SO cord, took the battery pack apart, removed the cells, and wired the cord up to the + and - terminals. Clipped it to a battery and... nothing but lights. It was getting power, but the motor wouldn't turn.

There is a 3rd terminal in the drill which I was hoping wouldn't be needed, but turns out it needs to see a signal there to indicate that the battery pack was not overheating, otherwise it won't run.

ChatGPT to the rescue. I asked what it knew about the battery model, and it correctly pointed out that there is an NTC terminal (thermistor).

It told me that the NTC is crucial for safety. I asked how to bypass it.

It first says that it is highly discouraged, but if I still wanted to proceed (for educational purposes) it went ahead and told me what to do (followed by a disclaimer). I just had to wire a resistor from the NTC terminal to battery negative. It suggested a 10k as that's common, but that I should check the value for my specific battery. It didn't know the right value for mine, but from a quick google I saw 47k suggested so that's what I went with. It worked!


Pretty crazy what it can do with just a couple simple questions.

Like the sitcom trope where a kid tries to cheat by writing the answers on his arm but it doesn't fit so he has to write it smaller and smaller until he inadvertently memorizes it all.

Can you all offer some examples of how you use chatgpt in daily life with work? I am trying to figure out how to harness it.

---

Start by asking chatgpt questions whenever you would usually do a google search. A lot of times it will give a response and then prompt *you* to ask more questions relevant to the topic.

Don't know what you do for work, but it can help with pretty much any writing task, or it can summarize an uploaded document. It can also help with quoting and estimating, or it can analyze data. Just use it like you might a really smart person.

Mozilla has advocated for big government censorship and classifying opinions as hate speech and then calling for governments to punish people for hate speech.

I don't see anything remotely close to this interpretation of whatever you've read. I see calling for openness re social media ads... who is paying and how much, and transparency about the algorithms and how people are targeted by them.

They are also big advocates of forcing everyone to have a global digital ID to use the internet. The ID would be trackable and fully monitored by any govt. You can search for those articles if you wish.

---

Again, not seeing anything close to this. Mozilla of course does have a stance on digital ID because identification is critical to using many online services. It's important. But can't find a peep on Mozilla advocating for forcing everyone to use ID to use the internet, nor anything about wanting everyone to be tracked and fully monitored by governments.
