It will not act as a Faraday cage, the holes need to smaller for that, about 1 cm max. However, wifi signals do get disturbed by a cage like this due to the low power of these signals.

About 20 years ago, there was only dial-up internet available in my street. My parents lived about 200 m away from me in another street, and they could get ADSL. So I set up a wireless bridge to them, and it worked surprisingly well after some tweaking. Kept it running for a few years, eventually got my own connection because one day my dad called me because he needed the router password. Turns out he was also sharing the connection with his neighbour who was running an internet radio station.

I’ve used them to extend arduino connectors in the past. Works great.

I use that too, on a different computer.

I still use Winrar.

I remember Java being seen as the best thing ever in the 90’s, and it was considered “cool” at that time. So cool even, that it became the programming equivalent of a hammer, every coding challenge looked like a nail for which you could use it.

I don’t know the last two, I’ll check them out thanks!

This one is so bad it becomes good again!

So you’re looking at an era that you probably don’t remember actively being a part of, and you compare it to the world you do remember. I don’t think I was the one to live in a bubble*. Also, have you seen Musk do the Hitler salute on television? Nobody tried pulling shit like that in 1994.

*I lived, and still live, in a very rural area, which is not know for being progressive.

Why would you think that? I was around in 1994, and if anything, it got worse.

No thank you, though it was a great time!

I’m turning 50 in September.

Thanks, I will. Luckily I realized the wrong quick enough. It wasn’t the knock out kind of failure, and they installed three stents in my arteries the very next day. Feeling good right now, though side effects of some medications can suck at times.

I had a real one last year, it was bloody awful and not like anything I’d ever experienced before.

I’ve heard deflation is the end of the world!

It was not the Fanta that we know today though, and the taste changed a few times during the war.

I don’t think you would feel that much being a vegetable, but since no person has ever come back from the vegetable state you just can’t tell.
