I'm still amazed that #Apple built a #SATA #Cable that can fail randomly.

- Like this cable does not get any bending or flexing AT ALL and will per design get only single digit connection cycles...

HOW did they manage that???

The horrible truth about Apple's repeated engineering failures.

@thisdoesnotcomp I do have to object re: your hate for #MultimodeFiber.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx7QcNUtZv8&t=281s

If you deal with max. 100m and want to get fast connectivity for many machines on a low budget, then that's the only option.

Where #SinglemodeFiber should be used is for #FTTB / #FTTH installations, instead of crappy #GPON, which is a #SharedMedium like #DOCSIS on #coax #cable! If it was my decision, #Ethernet-based Single-Mode Fiber like 10GBase-BX10 would be the the bare minimum mandated by law.

These network adapters COOKED themselves

Yesterday was a shitty day for multiple reasons, but I am determined to make this day better. Even if I plan on doing the exact same thing as yesterday and watching Stargate SG1 and The Dead Zone and other silly old shows.

#tv #90s #2000s #cable

The more I think about the #fox #Roku purchase. The more dangerous I think it is.

There are a few perspectives.

1. a traditional #cable #channel #network owns a #streaming or internet #hardware based #platform. It's beyond just #software. Sounds like too much power if one cable network company gets too comfortable with owning a hardware tech platform others may follow suit and lobby for laws that make life more miserable for #YouTubers , and independent creators.

2. A right leaning #news propagator, now owns an internet hardware based platform. Sounds like too much power for a harmful political nature. imagine going on a #streamingbox or #smarttv and #foxnews is promoted first on the homepage. Unlike other companies Roku owned by Fox would actually be incentivsed to keep the right leaning fox news channel constantly highlighted.

If it was just a streaming platform just don't buy into it, don't view their ads.

But now if somehow price is an issue and lets say Roku is your only affordable option for a streaming stick or tv in the future.

If you actually bought into it, your Roku stick or tv might be promoting fox news first.

Effect Audio Leonidas Z Review

The return of a legend?

I have fond memories of the classic 8W Leonidas Octa, so I am curious to see what Nihal thinks of the new Leonidas Z 8-wire version, some 7 years later, in his latest feature, now published on Headfonics!

The Pew Research Center estimates that cable and satellite TV households were down to only 36 percent of the population in 2025; that number was 85 percent just a decade earlier. Among viewers under 30, cable subscriptions are at 16 percent of households... Cable is a dying medium, and it’s a matter of time before it’s no longer cost-efficient to maintain cable systems, and they are shut down.

Fox Solves Its ‘Death of Cable’ Problem by Buying the Modern Cable Box

A proposed merger with Roku gives Fox access to 100 million households, widespread advertising opportunities, and the ability to diminish rivals on a leading TV platform.

Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ Ian Churchill never got the credit he deserved for drawing an awesome Cable in that character's solo series. Cable #25 from the fall of 1995. #TopShelfFriday #ComicBooks #IanChurchill #Cable

I bought this Type-C cable for my future modified Nintendo 64. And now I'm sitting here realizing I bought a cable that's way too high-end. This one would be much better suited for my phone 🥴

Cable recycling. Sorted into aluminium cable scrap, copper cable scrap and a few to keep.

Also a short length of something super rare: lead shielded cable. I remember finding that wrapped around an apple tree 😆

As soon I was done I found another pile of cables somewhere else 🤦‍♂️
