I just felt compelled to send feedback to Google. I'm getting tired of this flashlight scam.
FWIW, I get my flashlights the same place I get my camera gear: B&H Photo Video.
They sell Nitecore and Fenix, both great brands in my experience.
My EDC light is a Nitecore SRT7GT, while I have a Fenix LD20 that served me well for several years on my belt before it was retired. The LD20 has seen several very hard drops onto concrete yet is still 100% fully operational.
@djsmiley2k It's something that grew out of habit. During my undergraduate years, most of my classes took place at night, in some cases as late as 10 pm, and the campus lighting was spotty at best, so I carried a tactical light for personal safety. Over the next several years, I came to appreciate having lots of lumens on tap for everyday use and wound up having a flashlight on my belt at all times.
These days, the SRT7GT is not literally always on my belt (it's often in my bag) but I have a keychain light (Nitecore Tube) instead for when I'm not going to be outside at night.
Hey guys, anyone who remembers, I posted my Wi-Fi/VPN/VNC question a couple days ago? I added some updates after experimenting with MTU size. (It didn't help)
I did see a RealVNC thread about VNC over VPN causing the MTU to get reduced. However, I did check the MTU and it is set to 1500. I don't know what it is over VPN, but I can't really increase the MTU any further than that.
I suspect you were on the right trail with this comment but misinterp...
@ThatBrazilianPony I checked the power profiles, but didn't see anything related to Wi-Fi adapters. Also no Power Management tab on the Wi-Fi adapter properties window.
But, I could. It could just be something baked in that Windows or Intel's driver isn't exposing.
When you say "I only use it over a Wi-Fi connection When I'm working from home" is there a missing period after "connection"? Have you tried it on Ethernet? The issue is on wifi only?
@ThatBrazilianPony Currently, with the laptop, I would need a USB-C to Ethernet adapter to try that. I have Ethernet on the dock, but the dock also powers the laptop through the same Thunderbolt connection, so that wouldn't really help me test that option :P
Be curious to see if there's an actual RST going on or just client-side timeout. And what protocol VNC is using. Personally I'd Wireshark it but that's way too complex to go into in a SU Q&A if you're not familiar with it already
@ThatBrazilianPony I could try it at my parents' house. Both my router and theirs is a Netgear though, so that wouldn't make much of a varying datapoint. I have a spare Asus router kicking around I could connect to my home router (it's also the modem) and test it that way
I have work to do so I can't fiddle with it much. Plugging it in is a workaround for now.
