    NetSpot and InSSIDer are often recommended. I also noticed that Apple’s AirPort Utility (iOS) can show channels and signal strength of nearby networks. You need to turn on a setting in the Settings app to enable that feature. But it doesn’t have a clear UI that would help you to figure out the best channels.

    Wi-Fi extenders are usually worthless. If you want to extend your network you should use mesh network.

    Another thing that helps with interference is lowering the channel width. Using wider channels gives better throughput but there will be more interference. If you don’t transfer much data between your devices wirelessly and you don’t have some crazy fast internet connection, setting the channel width to the lowest for both bands is the safest option.

    Another good network troubleshooting step is to simply restart the router by unplugging the power cable for 30 or so seconds. It can fix many network related issues with little to no effort and is good practice for security reasons as well. (Restarting the router will effectively close any malware running in router and as long as the router doesn’t start them again after restart, you’ll be safe until your router is again compromised.)

    Have you recently moved the router to new location or moved objects around the router? Check the router’s environment for any metal objects. They can cause significant interference. And then there are dead spots. Regardless where inside a building you place Wi-Fi access point, somewhere within its range there is most likely at least one spot where the signal cancels itself.

    If the router’s location or “gaming location” has not changed, the reason most likely is that the channel used by the router has become congested. For both 2.4GHz and 5GHz there are recommended channels one should use, and you should choose the one that is least used around you. There are no tools for iOS devices that can help with that because Apple has locked down the required functionality, so use either computer or Android. EDIT: Apple’s AirPort Utility has this functionality after you enable it in Settings app.

    5GHz is better for gaming due to better latency. But if you can’t play close enough to the router, 2.4GHz might provide more stable connection.

  • Olkiluoto 3 -laitosyksikköä ajetaan noin puolella teholla häiriön vuoksi
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter 2w ago 100%

    Painevesireaktoreissa (kuten OL3) ne ohjaussauvat on sähkömagneetilla kiinni nostimissa. Hätätilanteessa riittää, että katkoo virrat magneeteista, niin ne sauvat tippuu painovoiman takia reaktorisydämeen ja reaktio hidastuu välittömästi. Sauvojen päät on reaktorin ulkopuolella, joten niiden kiinnityksen korjaaminen onnistuu ”kuumana”.

    Roottorin vaihto ei oikein onnistu hotswappaamalla. 😅 Toivottavasti se OL2 lopettaisi niiden roottoreiden pureskelun. Tuo oli toinen roottorin vaihto noin vuoden sisään. Niiden valmistamiseen kuulemma menee useampi vuosi, joten tuo on ikävän lyhyt vaihtoväli.

    Grafiitti on reaktiota kiihdyttävää ainetta, ja nykyreaktoreissa sitä ei enää käytetä, koska se on palavaa materiaalia. Säätösauvat voi olla esimerkiksi booria tai kadmiumia, koska ne pystyy absorboimaan suuren määrän neutroneja. Ala-asennossa ne tosiaan hidastavat reaktion kutakuinkin pysähdyksiin, ja estävät reaktion ”käsistä lähdön”.

    Nordpooliin päivitettiin tieto tuosta n. 390MW tehotasosta. Tehon pitäisi nousta 1220MW:hen noin klo. 18 tänään, ja huomenna klo. 01 sen pitäisi palata normaaliin. Eli ei ilmeisesti ole mistään rikkoontumisesta kyse.

    Onneksi Loviisa 1 starttaa ennakkotiedoista poiketen jo tänään klo. 18. Jos tuo OL3:n vikatila sattuu jatkumaan pidempään, niin ei ole ihan niin suuri puutos sähköntuotannossa.

    My family's always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.

    This is the way. And depending on how hard the core happens to be, you can slice the pineapple into thinner discs or cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.

  • [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - October 2024

    Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. It’s Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and it’s easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.

    I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you aren’t, you probably should play the other games in the series. 😉

    Erikoista tässä on se, että tuo OL2:n roottori hajosi viime vuonna samoihin aikoihin. Toivottavasti nuo keksii syyn noille rikkoontumisille. Vähän huono tahti tuollain yks roottori per vuosi, jos niiden valmistamiseen menee useampi vuosi.

    Some quotes from the article: > For Control 2 and codename Condor, all publishing, distribution, marketing, and other rights licensed to 505 Games revert to Remedy with immediate effect. 505 Games will continue as the publisher of Control through a transition period ending December 31, 2024 > The maximum purchase price for the transaction is approximately EUR 17 million > This transaction will enable us to negotiate better deals for current and future Control games. We can now weigh up the options between self-publishing and a new publishing partner for Condor and Control 2. At the same time, we are in a better negotiating position than before as Control is an established brand and Alan Wake 2 has been successful. > Control [...] has sold over 4 million units > Condor and Control 2 have both progressed well in recent months and we expect these projects to reach their next development stages during the first half of 2024. *Condor is the codename for a co-op multiplayer Control game.

    Amazon updated the browser in Kindle e-readers with software version 5.16.4 last November. Check the [Kindle E-Reader Software Updates](https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GKMQC26VQQMM8XSW) page to see if your device has that version available. Previously, the browser was almost useless, because it didn't support many of the features websites use nowadays. The new update significantly improves the browser, and it actually manages to display most pages correctly. Unfortunately, Kindles' hardware is quite lacking. Paperwhite 11th gen is so slow that while webpages work correctly, many of them are unusable because of the poor performance. Has anyone tried the new version of the web browser yet? Have you found any websites that you like using on your Kindle? I tried Lemmy, but of course that's one of the websites that doesn't work. There are no errors, it just doesn't show any posts.

    There's a [Kindle Rewards](https://www.amazon.com/kindlerewards/) bonus offer going on currently. > Spend $20 on Kindle books between July 28 and Aug 1 and earn 400 bonus points. Activation required. Those $20 you need to spend to get the bonus points gives you another 60 points, so this event nets you at least 460 points. That's enough to redeem $3 credits and you are left with 160 points out of 300 needed for another $3 credits. Just remember that points expires in 3 months and you only get 3 points for every dollar you spend on Kindle books.

    # Kindle Rewards beta For those who don't know yet, [Kindle Rewards](https://www.amazon.com/kindlerewards/) is a rewards program on amazon.com that rewards you for buying books. It's for both US and international customers, but you can only get into the beta if Amazon chooses you. It was launched last year. Initially you got 5 points for every dollar you spent on Kindle e-books and 2 points for every dollar spent on print books. The points expired in 6 months. You need 300 points to redeem $3 worth of credits you can use when purchasing Kindle e-books. Credits expires in 1 month. ## Changes to Kindle Rewards on June 1, 2023 After June 1, you now get only 3 points for every dollar spent on Kindle e-books and 1 point for every dollar spent on print books. On top of that those points now expires in 3 months (points earned before June 1 still expires in 6 months). So, you still need 300 points for the credits, but you need to spend more to get enough points. And you only have 3 months to earn those points before they start expiring. --- What do you think about the program? Have you participated in it, or ignored it? What about these new changes? I have only participated on those spend-X-dollars-get-Y-points events (for example, spend $10 get 300 points). I maintain a wish list of books that I'm interested of. When one of those events comes along, I look through the list and buy the minimum amount required by the event. Preferably books that are on sale. That gives me plenty of books for little money, and free credits for next purchase. After these changes, I think the points you get from buying books outside of events are meaningless. You earn so little, and have so little time to earn enough, that those points will just end up expiring. I think the rewards program gives little to no benefit for customers, except during those spend-X-dollars-get-Y-points events. Even then, only if the event gives you those 300 points required for the credits.
