Q: Tagging: Wi-Fi or WiFi?

We currently have a wi-fi tag. This seems unnatural to me - I've always written WiFi. There's precedent for wifi - Super User has wifi-configuration and wifi-driver, Server Fault uses wifi, and Apple uses wifi. I stopped looking after that. Should we have wifi instead, or do people like the hyph...

People get tired of capitalization and hyphenation really quickly.

Q: How do we feel about self-answering?

As far as I know, we haven't had this happen yet, but what if? Would it be acceptable? I ask this because to me there is a grey area in the posting guidelines when it comes to something like this. If this site is for asking others for recommendations, is it okay for me to recommend something to ...

Seems like we have consensus, should we just have someone with edit privs go through them?

Andy

Sure

Undo

Wait, system won't allow that

Andy

shakes fist at system

Undo

Gotta wait until we have mods or an interested CM. :(

I'm kinda surprised they're waiting this long to appoint folks.

Andy

It's been a week in public beta. That's not that long. It just seems longer because of the longer private beta

What do you use to monitor comments for software recs?

@Andy Ah, true.

Andy

I was thinking of writing something for here, but if you've got something easily modifiable, I figured that was easier

Room for a chatbot to be noisy and not bother anyone

Andy

Ah. Ok. I've seen Duga existed but hadn't looked at code for it

CR people run it, they'd probably he happy to let us have it too

Andy

That was my next question :)

Without going through the transcript, how many messages like this do you get?

Sorry, but software recommendations are not a good topic for this site. See here for what is on-topic: stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic — anderas 33 secs ago

@Andy Not many.

And I'm pretty sure they can tune it to only take ones that actually link to the site

Andy

Cool.

Something like this may be useful then on both SU and SO.

Should the TEMPEST question really be reopened? It's still unclear what he's asking for to me.

As you can see, I'm looking for any way to use computer with TEMPEST proof standard. Probably, case would be much cheaper. However, I'm not sure, is there such case. And as you have mentioned, monitor too must be shielded - it is hard task. That is why I'm looking for room too. — intelinside 2 days ago

So, a case, a monitor shield or a room is what he wants?

Not clear at all. I'd leave it closed.

Q: Merge [headset] into [headphone]

I propose merging headset into headphone and making an appropriate synonym. There are currently 2 questions with the headset tag and 3 questions with the headphone tag. These are all referring to the same type of hardware and the headset questions even use "headphone" within the question.

@enderland: It's nice to have as internal batteries tend to die after a few years, usually hard to replace them or buy replacement ones but you can buy AA batteries in every shop. — palacsint 36 secs ago

what kind of crappy devices does this person have that batteries die after a couple years ?

Andy

6:45 PM

Thanks for explaining the difference in that merge request.

OK...what happened to the questions in the headphone tag? There were a few with that tag. Now I see none and headset hasn't changed the number of questions with that tag.

enderland

I was wondering about that too

Undo

grrr I'm always just a few minutes too late on those meta questions.

@enderland Might not know how to take care of batteries, that can makes a huge difference

@Andy That's... weird
