Permanently baffled by the 21st century

[Baleforce]

I don’t think washing machines should have windows. Making them front loading is just to facilitate fitting them with a window.

and to put them under counter tops, efficient use of floor space

This thread has taken a creepy, Savillesque turn.

Quite, I feel I should clarify that the primary reason for my confusion is that my wife is very short and clothes sizes are not standardised, a 10 on the label can mean two completely different things on items containing around the same amount of material, particularly exercise clothes.

Not you mate, the fudging gross fudges asking for photos of your daughter's underwear.

I think a certain amount of editing or deleting would be prudent in this thread for sure

You went straight for the underwear huh? I'm sure we were all imagining the hilarity tomorrow morning when Mrs B and B Jr are getting ready for church and the old codger's put their Sunday best in the wrong wardrobes.

Of course going to church is illegal these days so @Baleforce will be doing the prison laundry by next weekend.

Excuse me? The insinuations were clear.

 

[Seedy Ron]

You are excused.

Try harder next time though, think of the Google ad revenue.

No it's not. My wife goes, she has her ticket as only 15 are allowed in at a time and they now have 3 sittings, 8am, 10am and 12 noon.

 

[Seedy Ron]

That sounds made up, I reckon she's up to no good.

I'm surprised she's able to get home, get washed and back out between 8 and 10 and 10 and 12.

Must be exhausted Sunday afternoon.

it depends on the type of wiring, if it's cat3 twisted pair it could theoretically run 10mb

if its a single pair it won't work as you need two pairs for ethernet

you'd almost certainly have more luck with a wifi system like Eero but thats obviously a spend

I picked up a 3 pack of the Eeros off Amazon, with £100 off last week.
I too was a tad concerned by the Amazon reviews, as some seem to be UK and some wee rat which added to the confusion.

Anyway, they work brilliantly. Strongly recommended. I didn’t have to do anything more complex than stick the old router into modem mode, then follow the app instructions.

(and then about 6 hours of pointing millions of my devices to the new network!)

If you get some, happy to be a sounding board if you need one for helping you set up.

Why do they all insist on building routers in?

I'd far rather buy a mesh WiFi that I can plug into my router to extend the network rather than replace everything.

Is your router the combined router/hub box supplied by the telco?

No, it's a proper firewall and I won't use anything else.

Thought you might have a pro set up!

The advantage of having worked in IT in the past is a garage full of kit and parts.

Most of it out of date now, but I'd rather use a 10 year old firewall than a WiFi station with a few rules on it.
