For once I don't have to tweet "It's Patch Tuesday, FUCK" And that feels really good.

Go listen.

@infinitytec3 @GamersNexus @Google Might be time for me to give it a shot again to be honest. Had a lot of bugs back when I tried it last but I know they've done a lot of good work.

@planedrop @GamersNexus @Google It's pretty good. Not perfect but I'm happy with it.

Anyone have a self-hosted, team-oriented Google Sheets alternative we can try? Because fuck all of these pop-ups that @Google springs every time you open a spreadsheet (and also the data harvesting). Something locally hosted, team-based, and open source would be great.

First match back playing #ApexLegends with my duo. We immediately off drop fight a 3 stack with 2 multi-time Apex Predators on their team one of which had wall hacks. This game is still just as bad as it's always been, there is zero integrity.

Best YouTube comment this week.

@infowolfe Quantum, so yeah ATT now lol

@planedrop At&t? Sounds like something they would do

Apparently most fiber provider ONT's have super low session tracking limits and since they're basically doing 1:1 NAT they crap out above 8k sessions. I might literally move back to cable from 8 gigbit fiber lol

@drdroo @bexcran Yeah I found that last night, interesting to see it and kinda cool honestly. I've never seen them in the wild though, only seen Adtran in person I'm pretty sure.

@planedrop @bexcran They do have a 10Gb XGS product as of a few years ago, they were late to the party if I remember right though. A local ISP here uses Ubiquiti's fiber platform, but a lot more places are either Adtran or Nokia. store.ui.com/us/en/category…

@Schicksal88 Oh yes can't forget about Copilot or AI Mode or stupid chat bots. The Internet has been enshitified.

@planedrop Don't forget the AI assistant on the side who make clippy seem non-intrusive.

Doing literally anything on the internet now, on effectively any website, is an obnoxious chore. Pop ups galore, always trying to sell stuff, sites bugging out, redirect loops, warnings, ask for location, want to connect to local devices, show notifications. AHHHH

@ArneKuilman Agreed, it's insane the market just lets them get away with such crappy products. Monopolistic behavior for sure.

@planedrop Too many people including Microsoft are making money of this fact.

Every single Microsoft product is a buggy unstable mess and there are literally zero exceptions to this rule. It's actually nuts.

@pleachchapel It sure does, oof.

@planedrop Capitalism ruins everything it touches

@Link01T Oh man the sign in with Google shit annoys me so much, it's almost every damn site now. Google should push a TOS update that disallows sites from doing that.

@planedrop Every damn site wanting to sign in with your Google account, asking for your location data, making you click a box to confirm you're human...

@happyrubyist @iamteale Agreed yeah but it's like EVERY SITE now.

@planedrop @iamteale A good rule: if it doesn’t work with an ad blocker and strict privacy settings then don’t use it.

@yotoprules1 This too, it's such a waste of power! lol

@planedrop CPU and MEMORY go BRRRR

@bexcran To be clear they do have their UISP brand, I just didn't think it was very popular lol.

@bexcran Hmmm interesting no they typically are not common. They definitely make that gear though. I don't think they have anything for 10 gig GPON though.

@QuantumG Website cookies yeah

@planedrop Cookies?

@DanielLoganPDX I guess so 😆

@planedrop First person to need a ups for their desktop not to help the desktop but to help the rest of their home

Doing denoising work on 4k video with a 4090 is crazy because my lights dim whenever I toggle noise reduction off and back on lol.
