Pity that 5G home internet isn't anywhere near as fast or reliable as wired internet. If it was, we might not even be having this discussion.
Couple of my friends have Starlink and they rave about it. But I still love my hardline connection.
Starlink isn't cheap though is it?
I pay $75/month for my 1Gbps plan from AT&T, it's unlimited GBs.
Starlink is $120/month, unlimited as well. If there are no fiber nodes in your neighborhood it's a good price.
If you really want hardline though make sure you get the tech and customer service to assure you get fiber to home, don't let them cheat you out of true fiber.
OH have I got a story for you.............
I feel like Australia does some really boneheaded decisions sometimes.
A previous government proposed the idea of an updated national broadband network with fiber to the home but lost that election and I think it was then the incoming conservative government labeled that plan too costly and instead opted for "cheaper and faster" which resulted in a total mishmash of mixed technologies that was cobbled together to save money.
I honestly wish they had gone with the original plan because as it turns out now we are playing catchup to upgrade everything to a more modern standard. it's such a bullshit farce how internet was handled in Australia. We are not a very clever country. The mishmash of technology was to appease people like Murdoch. Need I say more.
I'm on a HFC connection so it's better then ADSL and
I suppose for the time being it's as good as it's going to get.
I know what happened in Australia, and it's not that different to what happened here in USA.OH have I got a story for you.............

The govt gave all kinds of money for broadband expansion to the telecom companies and they laid what is now called dark fiber under and over the streets.
But that dark fiber was only started to be used by Google in the early 2010s to bring actual fiber-to-home broadband services but thankfully that caused Comcast and ATT to catch up fast.
However, rural areas in the USA started getting broadband around 5 years ago, many power utility companies are providing that service in the dark areas.
It's just a month to 2025 and only 35% of the USA has what could be called actual fiber broadband service. Baffling.
Meanwhile when I browse the internet I find random interesting things
Is it just me or is the whole internet seem like a deadzone nowadays?
Certainly not as fun as the early 2000s ... Back then there were lots of groups you could join some meeting online and some mixing online and real life meetups. It was a much more fun time
Absolutely. It feels like nearly half of everything online are just bots arguing with one another.
When I was eleven years old, I bought a pair of shitty headphones from the Dollar Store, which broke within a day. My father offered to fix them, so he took them in a bag them to his workshop to fix them at a later date. months later, my grandfather decided while at said workshop that it was time to buy some corn. He grbbed the nearest bag at the workshop, bought some corn, and put fistfuls of corn into the microwave.
About five minutes later, the microwave was making distressed noises and steaming. So he looked in the little window that microwaves have, and saw that he had accidentally put my headphones in the microwave on top of his corn.
And that, my friends, is the first time a human being uttered the phrase, "What the fuck? I think I just microwaved somebody's headphones with my corn."
PS: He ate the corn after.
PPS: The microwave broke about a month later. I sure wonder why (sarcasm).
PPPS: I'm not joking.

We had an interesting morning this morning, about 10 minutes before we usually get up our power went out, and since we get up before sunrise, that means we had to do our whole morning routine with only two small flashlights. They got the power back on just as we were starting out morning walk with the dogs, but when we got back home it went out again for just a few minutes, and whatever they did to bring it back to second apparently did something to the cable, because then that went out for a couple hours, and since we have cable internet, that means the it took out the TV and internet.
How do you get your links to come up in the little box, I can't find an option for that anywhere?

I think I got ripped off. Vicks, famous for their VaboRub ointment, also has a product called VapoShower. You put the item on your shower floor, take a shower for 10 minutes and it's supposed to infuse the shower steam before it dissolves. I don't think it does anything. I can smell it, but it doesn't seem potent enough to do anything.
The software does that automatically. Just put your link inline and in should do it for you.
XenForo - Wikipedia
ETA: It seems it only works on certain sites? The first two examples I tried didn't work!
It seems to be driven by the unfurl="true" parameter in the URL tag. Looks like the new version of the software sets that parameter on inline links automatically.

I just noticed that John Williams composed a lot of the music in the original Lost In Space.
I mean some of the music feels like other things I have heard before, went to look up the composer and was pleasantly surprised.

We had several of them around the house and they really helped light the way when my house was flooding at 3am.
