Not a chance in hell.

Makes me wonder how it compares to Garuda, which is more gaming-tailored and has a graphical installer.

I had a cat who would watch mice drink from the tray we’d give her milk in.

Thank you for your service to humankind. You have occasionally made me snicker, which is an achievement.

They’re on thin ice with me. I have an X1C running the X1Plus third party firmware, so I’m spared some of their crap, but I’m watching warily. Don’t like the looks of things, and I’m not recommending their devices anymore.

Are horse chiropractors actually a studied and licensed position, unlike human ones?

IIRC it’s essentially that you can’t be forced to show a document you have to pay for. So either they have to accept something you can obtain freely as ID, or they have to allow you to obtain an ID for free.

Not all of it is encrypted, I have a cheap Baofeng I bought before they put the frequency lock on them and I use it to listen in on police, fire, search and rescue, etc. on occasion. Rarely is any of it interesting, but it’s there.

And now this song is just playing on repeat in my head.

And I will be buying one at 10:01am.

To be fair, that is an efficient way to get rid of it. They fucked up by not using the spec’d amount of TNT. Yes, there is a spec for that.

About two days ago by my count.

Xam’d always had what I consider the most catchy theme song. It’s been over a decade and I still get it stuck in my head randomly.

Oh, that was absolute highway robbery. But we had no other options and they knew it. They robbed us blind, and we dropped them the instant starlink became available.

Yeaaah, here in the US DSL is more like 6/1.5 at best. And no, that’s not a typo.

Those of us subscribed to Starlink aren’t here because we have options. Honestly, it’s decent. IIRC it’s $110/mo for on average 300 down 15 up. Is that amazing? No. Is fiber better? Yes. But they’re not marketing to people who have fiber as an option. They’re marketing to people like me, who used to pay $460/mo for 60/15 microwave internet with frequent downtime -and- data caps. If you have to ask “but which one is better”, the simple answer is generally fiber > starlink > cable > microwave > dsl/satellite > dialup. And I refuse to rank 5G service because that depends on too many factors.

I use it (begrudgingly, but options out here suck), you’re wrong. It’s closer to 70-80ms at worst. Though it has definitely improved over time, it may have been worse during the early beta.

Honestly, that’s a perfect summary.
