Keep in mind, that much of the vm client tools packages are drivers for virtual devices that are presented by whichever VM environment. Do not expect them to be compatible.

@Burgi Yes. Very common in southern states of India.

Telugu language

Telugu (English: ; తెలుగు [t̪el̪uɡu]) is a South-central Dravidian language native to India. It stands alongside Hindi, English and Bengali as one of the few languages with official primary language status in more than one Indian state; Telugu is the primary language in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and significant linguistic minorities in other neighbouring states. It is one of six languages designated a classical language of India by the country's government. Telugu language ranks third in the population with number of native speakers in India (74 million, 2001 census), sixteenth in...

This is what the script looks like: తెలుగు

@rahuldottech that said, tamil is the official language in multiple countries XD

Hmmm. I get 10MB/s with LAN cable and 5MB/s with Wi-Fi connection. But there is no LAN connection sockets in the room and it will require wiring.

How is everybody here connected to the internet at home. LAN cable or Wi-Fi?

Reluctant to do the wiring as it will require LAN cable, wall drilling and wiring...

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek If I have two completely unrelated methods of getting something to work, should I include them in the same answer, or create a separate one?

FML Cat

@Boris_yo When I had a home, LAN cable and/or wireless bridge.

In my last 5-person flat, all the bedrooms had wired LAN cables. Didn't bother with any drilling, just ran them through/under/around doors.

My last 2 person flat had wired ethernet to my server closet and wireless bridge to one bedroom and direct wifi connection to the other

You can get a gigabit over a wireless bridge and 99.998% reliability with decent equipment.

I think my wireless bridge recorded about 15 seconds of downtime a month on average...

Bob

@FMLCat cause timezones and you don't usually bring it up

FML Cat

@Bob I've brought it up every time I've seen you guys mention it! :-O

Bob

o.O

we're probably finishing off last time's soase game, but what do you play?

FML Cat

6:07 AM

Which is about four times in the two years or so I've been in here

@Bob Mostly single player stuff out of necessity!

RTS is one of my favourite genres though

Urgh buggy shit Intel bluetooth

Have to reboot my bluetooth speakers every hour or two...

Also it's past 6am and I have no desire to sleep

I guess that's cause I'm a cat

Boris_yo

@FMLCat Wireless bridge only extends signal, right? It does not increase bandwidth from wireless router?

FML Cat

@Boris_yo It gives you a wired ethernet port and/or switch in your destination that acts as if it were directly connected to the source switch/router

Boris_yo

@FMLCat I only need LAN in my bedroom for my laptop...

FML Cat

Bandwidth depends on your equipment. Router to router bridge (well, AP to AP) generally achieves better bandwidth than router to laptop/desktop/phone because routers have better radios

If it's a wired laptop, you want a wireless bridge. If it's a wireless laptop and you're happy with 10MB/sec you're probably fine with an off-the-shelf wireless repeater (which just extends signal)

Boris_yo

@FMLCat I have wireless laptop and get about 5-6MB/s with Wi-Fi. Will I get more with repeater?

FML Cat

6:15 AM

@Boris_yo Possibly.

If there's parts of your room where you get more speeds but it's awkward to hold your laptop, you could put the repeater there.

If your laptop's wireless crap, same story.

Boris_yo

@FMLCat I have TP Link small cube-shaped AP which can act as repeater...

Wonder if it has good radio...

FML Cat

@Boris_yo That's not saying much

What's your main router?

Boris_yo

@FMLCat Edimax is the brand. You want the model?

FML Cat

@Boris_yo Yes

Boris_yo

BR-6428NS V2

FML Cat

6:17 AM

Oh

It's pretty crap

Basic 2.4Ghz only B/G/N. You probably won't be able to improve it much without a lot of fiddling/dirty tricks/equipment

@Boris_yo What wireless card do you have in your laptop?

and that the official, channel approved way of dying is death by falling monitor. Anything else is not allowed.

FML Cat

@Boris_yo You may be better off upgrading your router. Your laptop's capable of double the speed of the router.

@rahuldottech Or suicide after accidentally chmod -R 777 /'ing a cluster

Journeyman Geek

@FMLCat suicide is not allowed

rahuldottech

6:33 AM

@FMLCat No. Only falling monitor!

Journeyman Geek

Maybe if its by dropping a monitor on yourself.

Boris_yo

@FMLCat Router is N standard which is 300Mbps?

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek maybe

Journeyman Geek

Technically! What if you only mortally wound yourself by falling monitor?

FML Cat

@Boris_yo It's 2.4Ghz only, which in reality can't do 300Mbps in practice. 99% of situations it will revert to 144Mbps mode, and in reality perform closer to 50.

rahuldottech

6:36 AM

just dont die

Boris_yo

@FMLCat Well 2.4GHz is a common frequency here... You mean I should get 5GHz?

FML Cat

@Boris_yo Yes

Boris_yo

AC too?

FML Cat

5Ghz will generally perform 2-4x faster than 2.4Ghz even if a device is only capable of "300Mbps" on either.

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo not a bad option these days

@FMLCat assuming its in the same room

FML Cat

6:37 AM

@Boris_yo Your laptop doesn't support AC. You'll have to upgrade the wireless card too if you want that, which really isn't that expensive (£20 or so?) but requires opening your laptop

@JourneymanGeek In any room.

Journeyman Geek

or you have shitty wooden walls.

FML Cat

Until it runs out of signal

rahuldottech

5GHz is worse through walls though :/

Journeyman Geek

@FMLCat upgrading also may not work if its a thinkpad

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek I have concrete walls.

FML Cat

6:37 AM

If it connects at all, it'll usually be faster.

@JourneymanGeek You can get Stinkpad coded wireless cards off Ebay easily enough

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek EXPLAIN

FML Cat

Also, Thinkpads don't come with Dell wireless cards.

Journeyman Geek

@rahuldottech thinkpads have whitelists for supported wireless cards

some HPs may too

so literally only specific models work on stock thinkpads

unless you...

hack the bios

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek ...why?

Journeyman Geek

@rahuldottech donno

FML Cat

6:39 AM

Some wireless cards are the same, coded to only work on certain brands, unless you hack the card/driver/bios.

@rahuldottech "Certification"

Funny enough when using wireless cards with firmware "locked" to only work in Toshiba laptops, Windows drivers will respect the lock, while Linux drivers ignore it totally and bypass it by default

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek Apparently some don't have whitelists anymore: reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/31rnsv/…

FML Cat

> Submitted 2 years ago

It's been a while

rahuldottech

@FMLCat Yeah, but only for some models

Journeyman Geek

@FMLCat ah, my last thinkpad was a x220

@FMLCat ah I'll have to check if you're awake next time

@FMLCat except the APs that use a laptop (m.2 or pcie) card internally...

FML Cat

@Bob Lots of them used to use MiniPCI/MiniPCIe cards, but they tended to not be laptop-specific ones

(Often some did use exactly the same cards as some laptops, but not the generally cut-down/miniaturised laptop ones)

And they'll still be hooked up to bigger better antenna and/or amplifiers with better antenna separation as well

Bob

@FMLCat yea the better antenna

@RogUE heh, the hyphen site doing it was one reason SE's designed to never hide content on the main sites behind a paywall

Other than... well teams and hosted SE enterprise, and a few chat rooms, and anything we don't know about...

Everything's in the open

Even the chat rooms....

But even those arn't behind a paywall ;p

Q: Prevent exposure of messages from private chat rooms

Private chat rooms are solely used for moderation purposes, this is a hard rule by Stack Exchange. In most cases the information in such private rooms should not be made public, they often contain private information about users which moderators are forbidden to reveal by the moderator agreement....

There's moderation related private chat rooms

and supposedly some super seekrit internal ones on chat.meta.se

RogUE

Ah, there it is.

I have seen a room where you need to be added by someone in the room to see the messages.

Journeyman Geek

We don't typically use those tho

Personally I think there's very little that needs to be handled both privately and in realtime

user226528

Can't they just settle one a more modern format?

user226528

One that supports full color?

rahuldottech

@FleetCommand That would be mp4, but SE doesn't allow them to be embedded

mp4 files are SO MUCH SMALLER than the same thing in GIF

user226528

Especially, if they are encoded with H.265 still codec.

Journeyman Geek

@FleetCommand heh, licecap actually works pretty well for animated gifs

and no, SE's probably not going to have video support baked in

the nice thing with gifs is done right they're embeddable as an image on imgur
