@aaronpk Did you know that even though Windows 10 still supports dial-up, it doesn't really work.

The forced basic Telemetry, update checks, internet connectivity pings, etc. alone use up the 56k of bandwidth, so browsing the internet mostly just flat out doesn't work, regardless of patience. If you're lucky, you can get some text content popping up after a minute or two, but even if you wait 15 minutes, most sites are likely to never load a single image unless they're small sub 64x64 pixel icons. 90% of your http requests are simply going to time out or die for other reasons.

I've run these systems.

Was the Gmail basic view any better? https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15049?hl=en

They may be simultaneous connections but you make it sound like a server farm. They are "periodic" demands for upload or download. Maybe 30% of 300 seats are connected, for 90 connections. 10% hit the return key at the same moment, for 9 hits to the uplink at any instance.

I hear you, but I wonder if you don't have it backwards. 2020 is the year and airlines WiFi is like 1995 dialup? Something is wrong and I think it may be in the sky.

That’s a shame, I once had Gmail be the only way I could access a file to print on a really old computer because of its legacy support.

I love when you're investigating a bug and the question "why is this broken!?" turns into "why did this ever work?!?"

I wanted to take some notes on the airplane so I pulled up Notion but it wouldn’t load because of lack of internet. This stuff kills me, it’s not acceptable

Amazing how well that 13-year old take has held up 😍. Not only does offline matter even less now than it did, the technology to do it is finally almost trivial (service workers). Glad we never wasted time on attempting it before that!

Our parents have Dave Ramsey we have Jake Paul #FinancialFreedom #blessed

Twitter plz help. Someone took a GIF of Leslie Neilson fighting people in an airport and labeled the people with stuff like "subscribe to our newsletter" and "review our cookie policy" and it was the best thing ever and I can't find it again.

Ok, I'd like to have one of those stickers :-) - hope to see you at Oktane.

Quick question, what has been updated in the Feb 2020 version of the Oauth 2.0 book? Is it worth getting over the 2017 version I have? Thanks

I'm quitting tech to become a good time off so that's a thing

Oh, good to know! Thanks!

New at-desk training and live stream setup… test show tomorrow, waddaya think?

Has anyone experimented with floor-to-ceiling monitors (or anything similar) so your computing environment expands to fill the space around you?

I want ambient access to my calendar, roadmap, todos, etc. Instead of minimizing a tab, I want to be able to throw it on the wall
