That's a really good drawing of an old computer, isn't it? Poor thing. I've got my old computer's case, thinking about ordering a load of scrap gears and making some sort of steampunk art inside it.
OMG! I could build a twenty foot long, six foot high block wall out of all the PCs and cases I collected!! (yes! I measured!)
I don't understand this. What is unlimited internet? Is there some kind of limited internet? Is it about speed or something else? What is limited or unlimited?
Here in the US for standard internet it starts at about $20, and goes up from there. It is considered unlimited, because there is not a data limit as to how much or little of it you use. Other countries (also phone carriers US and abroad) have the internet dolled out by the Gigabyte, and they charge a premium to for a set number of package deals depending on how much data you intend to use per month without exceeding that limit. So basically once you go over your allotted amount, you pay more for every Megabyte you go over.
Ok. Now I maybe understand that. Or not. I suppose most typical internet connection in Finland is packed together with tv. Then... - Your tv connection comes through internet. - You can record tv programs to cloud if you want to. (Something like 2500 hours of HD level programs.) - I suppose 100MB/s is very typical connection. - The box you get has several places to several internet connections and you can have something like 100mb/s household wireless connections. (I don't know what it is. Wifi or something else?) So... Family takes that one connection. They can have one to God knows how many computers, pads, mobile phones, tv's... connected to that one connection. And it costs... er... something? 20€ 40€ I don't know. Only limitations I know is how fast your connection (the wire that comes to your home) is. Light cable? Something else? The idea of data limits... I don't get it. What is the point? "I can't watch more tv because my limit is full!"
Yeah there is a difference between DSL which is over a phone line, and fiber optic which is much faster than running it through phone lines. Reason fiber optic cost more is because while it is light speed fast, it is also a pain in the ass to splice due to how anal it is. It has to be spliced perfectly or it will screw up the flow in the information signal. I have never heard of a TV company strictly on the internet. Usually they offer cable, and then for extra you get a router for internet. Shows how much I know. Though I do know about TV services from other sources that are internet based.
In Finland it's not TV companies that sell you internet-tv -packets. It's internet and/or mobile companies. I suppose logic is something like this: Company: You can have unlimited internet access? Pekka: Why? I don't need it. Company: It's information highway. You have access to all the wisdom in the world. Pekka: Not interested. Company: And you can watch and record as many tv programs as you like. Pekka: TV? Yeah! What channels? Company: All the free ones and as many of the others as you buy. And you can record. Pekka: How much? Company: If you record only 24 hours a day, your storage is full in less than 4 months. Is that enough? Pekka: Let's have a try. Company: How fast internet connection your house has? Pekka: I don't know. I don't have a computer. Internet companies pushed satellite tv + some other services out of markets here. I haven't heard anyone having satellite tv in this millenium. (I have heard that some arabs have or have had them, but I'm not sure is it true or not.) And when this is whining threath: I really don't get why to have something less than that. I don't get the point.
In specific scenario, I have a small wifi modem with a sim card inside. I top up the sim card every 28 days and get 7.5GB to use only for the internet. I have no landline, and coverage outside of the main town for broadband is shit, basically. They did check the coverage for my village, and it's not good. Hence I was only sold the mobile wifi modem. He did want to sell me a larger modem with a line attached...not that I have the luxury to afford that anyway in my present circumstances. In essence, my internet works just like a pay as you go mobile phone would, but it's a wifi modem instead of a phone.
Is that 7.5gb/s? Or 7.5 gb total like if you have 22mb photos you can get a bit more than 300? (I don't know much about these things. I don't want to.)
Poor you. Happy side: You can't watch Eurovision Yodel & Long Leg Contest via internet - or at least not for long.
I'm trying to choreograph a dance (because why not) and the annoying thing is, I can never remember it from day to day because I don't have anywhere to actually do it, so I can't practice (I'm just picturing it in my head).
I might move the furniture around in the kitchen once all my flatmates have gone home and there's no-one to catch me.
More internet troubles. I have 2 devices that should work now, but of course, the bill pay one isn't working-again! It's got some kind of set up where by it demands preferential treatment on my dino-top. I had the old pay as you go set up connected, because the bill pay wasn't working. I then discover that my poor dino-top is trying to connect to them both at the same time. No wonder it didn't work!! Bill pay is now turned off, but on charge to think about it's behaviour, whilst poor pay as you go is giving me slow but at least consistent internet. It's like having 2 warring children, FFS. ETA: I have now named them accordingly: Bill (self explanatory) and Paige (PAYG-pay as you go). ETA2: Over 10 hours later, and Bill is still having none of it, so I'm having nothing to do with him either.
Jeebus Youtube, AC/DC's Thunderstruck is not a related video to Steve Earle's John Walker's Blues. Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi is spinning in his grave.
I’m out of almond milk AND decaf (How the fuck did I manage that???). So this morning’s coffee is extremely weak full caff, drunk black.
