@DamoMac Tap the screen when it's switched on, sometimes that knocks the connections back in place.
-
@spoiledgoods What did I just read? lol
-
@jestdotty Use gels for lights, but if there's no fumes coming off them they should be fine.
-
@Demolishun I have a background in electrical engineering, my last position for 6 years was as an electronics engineer in the field of security. Do you really want to fuck with me? Ha...
-
Was he a "Cripto-engineer"? Dying! haha.
-
@Demolishun You're talking to the best roadie in the world. You need three phase equipment? No problem! Let's fill that sound hole for you.
-
I only repair things, but I'm an expert at breaking stuff too.

3.5mm oval jack needed by no one ever!
Oval jacks are so hot right now! Ha! -
@Demolishun A representative from the insurance company called them a "bunch of clowns".

@Demolishun Living in a large empty house by yourself can have an unusual effect, you will begin to notice peculiarities to the point of questioning the evidence being observed at hand.
One time, during a conversation with a friend from Canada who's a writer and publisher, I said "I think this house is haunted" and in that instance the light bulb in the room blew. I sat there in the dark, it spooked the dog, I remained calm, I think at that point, acknowledging what was happening coincided when it became more physical.
I was looking at some of the news reports of the event and every detail was incorrect that, to me it all looked made up, even I wasn't mentioning anything about the supernatural. I contacted the bbc reporter, and told them what they published was wrong in every possible way imaginable (still no mention of supernatural goings on) They expressed the current thing and hearsay that was going around and stuck with that nonsense. -
@Demolishun I lived in a haunted house, I'm still working out what happened. it ended spectacularly with one fatality and the event even made the news, the reporters lied. The events leading up to it were like living through a Psychological Horror.
It was like something in the house got jealous and had a major tantrum, it tried to persuade me to leave, but having no fear I stayed until the final battle. ;) -
@Demolishun Having a healthy fear of the unknown is wise.

@Demolishun "I always wanted to press two buttons at the same time"
Is so hot right now! -
@Lensflare Appropriate! lol
-
@lorentz Maybe to lower the volume of the wifi signal?
;D -
@Demolishun Is all about impressing the space babes :D

It sounds like there's a lot of theoretical augmented reality byproducts on the edge of what we know about the universe. It's not a bad thing, being more grounded works too, sometimes you just have to drive around on the Lunar surface in a buggy and enjoy the view.

I'm all caught up on astrophysics and quantum mechanics now! :D
The expanding distance between two galaxies traveling away from each other is calculated to be faster than the speed of light. I remember something like that from a lecture... -
UnIntuitive design is so hot right now!
-
@Demolishun It wasn't perfect all the time, finding a good server was important and there was a bit of an arms race when it came to getting and running the best hardware. Good fun! This shouldn't be an issue now though.

I'm surprised that network latency is an issue, having played on 28k-56k dial up modems without any issues, today's games are processing too much network bloat and over compensating by slowing down network data streams in an attempt to synchronize traffic. In COD games these days you can be shot around corners or before you even see an enemy, there is no way that's a result of network speed. Developers could strip it all back and gameplay would improve, sending data fast from A to B and back isn't a problem.

These updates are clearly not for the benefit of any computer owner, I really dislike the idea that a company can access and change files on a personal system, especially adding another program without permission. Not to mention their so-called "AI" is a huge security risk, mainly designed to collect private information.

@Demolishun Perhaps! Or it could be the massive geomagnetic storm this week. Pretty northern lights though. Where I live its so cloudy when all the cool shit is kicking off.
-
@Demolishun When you walk around do you hear marbles rattling in your head?
Donde esta la biblioteca!! :D -
Stupid trains, always attack you when you least expect it.
-
@Demolishun You're lucky I like ya! ;D
-
Statistically trolling. That's a new one!
Most of what I've seen here is all good, that's just my expert opinion before anyone starts another flame war! ;D -
@jestdotty Yes, yesss! Give yourself to the Dark Side!
-
@Demolishun Was it that bad? Ha!

Just so we're all on the same page.
We can breakdown down specific frequencies that can be defined as "wifi" like this.
The frequency is a unit of time measured in hertz.
The wavelength is a unit of distance measured in meters.
The intensity is the amplitude of the wave measured in watts per square meter.
Higher wave frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum have a higher energy density and lower wave frequencies have a lower energy density, correct?
Now, let's define the "harmful" part!
It isn't the frequency which is how many cycles per second there are in a wave.
It isn't the wavelength which is the distance between each cycle.
For example a microwave oven with a power output of 800 watts and a frequency of 2450 megahertz would have a strong signal and if we reduce the power to 0.1 milliwatts we would have a very weak signal.
Power output is the most important factor regarding whether or not "wifi" is harmful.
Is everyone happy with this explanation?
