I just want a dumb TV that I can connect my Linux box to
'fucking shit router
🤔
Grammar & punctuation fascist I see
I mean, yes, but I was rather wondering, if that extra space was maybe why it couldn’t find it. Maybe you had to manually enter the SSID and accidentally put in that extra space? Then again, I don’t even know, if you took that photo…
I had a IoT device “lightbulb” that would trim any spaces left after the passkey, problem being I intentionally had a blank space at the end of my passkey. Took a while to realize till I counted the little stars hiding the recorded passkey.
Nothing grinds my gears like password interfaces that modify the password. If empty spaces at the beginning/end are an issue, tell the user. Show a note, or at worst a modal. But don’t modify it.
No something I randomly saw on the internet
I remember when I bought an 40MB hard drive back in the day. (Yes, megabyte, not gigabyte) And I labeled it “WOWSOBIG”, because it was huge for me. When I bought a 32" flat screen when those first released I thought that was big. Now even the TV in the bedroom is a 48" and that just the small secondary TV. One of my neighbors across the street has a TV as big as his wall, I can watch his TV from my window.
Funny how perspectives change over time.
I remember when we bought our first Windows PC in 1995 (We had had Tandy 1000 & a Commodore 64 before then) the sales guy told us, if you upgrade to the 1GB hard drive you’ll never fill it up in 20 years.
Fuck commission based sales.
We played goldeneye in 4 Player splitcreen on a 13" TV back in the day. I don’t even know how we did it, it was so small.
Somebody had a bad day.
Great inspiration
