I'm guessing it uses the 2.4ghz antenna to transmit and the 5ghz antenna to receive or vice-versa

This is a great writeup of errata related to this configuration! I am curious what kind of performance you're seeing for DNS requests considering how old and anemic the first gen Pi is

Containers are great for consistency with web services, and help with avoiding (and providing an easy rollback in the case of) breakage with updates

I over thought this a lot and the only conclusion I could come to is the earth nation should be covered in railway lines. Extremely shortly after some of the first viable self-propelled steam locomotives were invented the first railwaya were built, and within 50 years entire countries were covered in railway lines connecting the smallest towns both that existed before the railroads and many built by the railroads.

The existence of bending would only accelerate this development since right of way would be rapidly built through earth bending, and locomotives could simply have a closed system of water to be bent to produce propulsion. An earth bender could also spin a stone flywheel attached to gears to produce propulsion too. Or combine these with steam propulsion to overcome the limitations of early steam engines and the poorer iron and steel alloys of the time

Even if you take a Western lens to it and say ATLA takes place around 1850 that still puts Korra in the 1920s (and the air nation falling around 1750) and the only thing that really would be innacurate for comparing their timeline to ours is the lack of trains connecting the cities, at least in the earth kingdom where theres a lot of land to be crossed.

I suppose if you assume that Ba Sing Sa is self-sufficient with it's large farms in the outermost ring then it makes sense from a tactical perspective to have fewer points of entry to the city. You'd also have to assume there's either significant brain-drain from the villages into the city or that the villages keep to themselves so much that they have no need for better transportation between them

I'm not finding any good sources right now but some of the earliest trains were actually a singular railcar on wooden rails pushed by 1-2 people in much the same manner that the trains in Ba Sing Sa do, just sans Earth bending of course

Now this was racist as fuck. You could say ‘for everyone’ but you had to discriminate one of many colors we have.

Pointing out the majority, the intrinsic traits that would give an individual the most ready access to power for the last 3 millenia if not longer is not racist, it's acknowledging your own privilege, your own luck when being born. Or if you're not a straight, white, male, it's acknowledging the extra hurdles of discrimination (intentional or not), and the limited access to famialial resources that you might have to overcome for which the straight white male would not.

As a straight white male you will probably never be denied a loan, a business license, a job or access to college due to discrimination. If you are not straight white or male you very well may have been multiple times over by the time you're reading this

Members of minority groups are not immune to being racist,sexist,homophobic

This is true, but it's also extremely important to separate equity from equality, as well as acknowledgement of yours and others traits from discrimination. It's also extremely important to remember that celebrating your traits that remove you from the majority is not about saying you're superior but is about building pride and appreciation where previously one may have had to hide these traits from the world or have their options limited by simply having these traits.

To your first point, I don't know about other people but I generally assumed the numbers were mostly due to office deployments, whether government or private.

Your statements about most people not having a computer are also true in the United States. When I worked support for a smartphone manufacturer I encountered so many people who not only did not have a computer, they didn't have any internet service at all. They just use their phone for everything and rely heavily on the unlimited dataplans that are so ubiquitous nowadays. It didn't even seem to be an age-related decision as I spoke to both young folks and folks approaching retirement age who had made this decision. As an IT worker who grew up with techy parents, the concept is wild and outlandish to me, but it's the reality of how many people compute is they have no laptop or desktop, and may not even have Internet service

Did you know it's possible to acknowledge social inequality and historical (as well as current) racism and use that knowledge to produce positive results for everyone?

Did you know it's possible to build policies that are mutually beneficial to both straight white male people and those who are not straight, white or male?

some game studio had made a cast of all straight, white men and were thinking of diversifying by making one of those characters very stereotypically french, and so SBI consultant tried to get a little more diversity out of them by also making that character black.

Oh no! They had a cast of 12 straight white men, considered making it 12 straight white men with one who might not be American and in the end its 11 straight white men and one who is not white! Wont someone please think of the poor white children!

Ever since packaging 2009scape on Flathub I haven’t looked back.

So YOU are the one to blame for my latest Runescape addiction relapse! I only learned of the project because I stumbled on it while browsing flathub

I was thinking potentially if the system thinks the password was set 200 years in the future it would also be invalid
