Because there isn’t a home internet option. Our landline stopped existing a couple years ago so I can either pay musk (lolno), drop several thousand on a mobile repeater that’ll hit the exact same issues on busy days, or just use my phone.

80 per month for unlimited data is better than my home internet used to be anyway, that’s 160KB/s for the last 15 years sucked.

Mobile data. I leave my house, my house no longer has internet. Makes the solution of download shit while at work not particularly useful.

It’s also very very slow and I watch a lot of videos at 240p and 360p.

If I’m buying any new drive, it’s going in the laptop so I get more total storage.

I don’t have a home network so a NAS isn’t a great option.

Raid 0 is what my laptop shipped with for… Whatever reason MSI had. And I didn’t bother to change it when I probably should have knowing that redownloading all my data on a connection that doesn’t reliably run HD video is a miserable and long process.

I have important paperwork backups on my phone, and/or emailed to myself but literally the basic process of downloading and installing steam is slow as hell and means the internet can’t be used for anything else.

Removing raid is a multi month problem due to losing all the data, or a few hundred in new SSDs to backup stuff. Removing raid the moment I got the laptop would’ve been the smart idea, but I didn’t do that so I’m not gonna do it until I get a new laptop.

I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years

You are underestimating how long it takes to do anything that requires internet (everything does). There’s 0 point booting Linux without games, and games take days to download, sometimes days per game. Also, I already fixed windows, so the effort is entirely wasted.

The effort to change from windows is greater than the continued use of windows when i already have solutions to the trash windows puts out.

I couldn’t even be fucked unraiding the drives my laptop came with, even though I don’t want them in raid it’s just… eh, it probably won’t be an issue before the laptop gets replaced in 5 years

The solution is a desk pad. If 100% of the desk is a mouse pad you are never in the wrong spot.

They make sand that isn’t course and rough.

Arguably the finer stuff is even better at getting into everything.

I don’t always get 1.5mbps now and 1000ping doesn’t work in a shooter. Depends on the game, some will make you basically unable to move, sometimes you basically warp around visually and fuck all happens, sometimes it seems fine but you die to people that don’t exist because you have a second of delay.

I was dealing with spikes of 2000 to 10000 ping yesterday on Minecraft and playable is not a word I would use to describe those spikes.

It was a pain when my friend used to set up Minecraft servers. New month? Well shit time to fix the server again.

Current MMOs still have social aspects anyway. Most people doing raids on OSRS aren’t soloing them because that’s fucking hard

I believe he disabled radar, I’m not sure tesla ever had lidar. Radar would solve this problem anyway.

Pretty sure that tesla is in fine condition. It’s styrofoam, odds are the car didn’t even get a scratch.

My phone says that’s a 3 day timer

I can load a normal 1080p video for like 5 minutes before a short will even fucking start.

Idk what’s wrong with them, but shorts are fucking awful to load

I’m at a loss for words

I finally got hit today, was feeling left out of the fun.

Horses at least used to be the #1 animal likely to be involved in your death in Australia.

Hey now I have a new two tap shower… And still don’t have this problem. I think that’s just the solution, 2 taps are better than one.
