I'm at an airport bar grooving to the music, thinking they have a really decent sound system despite all the background noise.

I look up, and see one of these mounted above me. Yeah, it better sound good for $2300. BTW, this is the cheapest model. Oh, and it's mono unless you buy a second one.

The funny thing is, this person answered my question before complaining about how I'm wasting their time.

For those who are curious, it doesn't matter how wide I set my 5 GHz channels. My phone seems to only have one antenna, so 433 Mbps is the fastest link I can get.

One of the reasons I love #coso is there are so many people here with expert knowledge in various areas, yet they never talk down to those who ask questions on those topics.

You may not realize this until you go to a forum or group where people are rude by default (which seems to be most places these days).

Case in point: I posted a question on a forum for custom router firmware about channel width and client link speed, and was admonished by an expert for wasting their time with "nonsense".

Serious question: Are there any legit reasons to be on darknets? Because I can't think of any reasons outside of doing illegal things and trying to catch the people doing those illegal things.

Just to be clear, I am not recommending all of you go test this theory for me. There's a lot of awful there, and you have to take certain steps to insulate yourself.

^ The best (and by far most expensive) bits are the 8 pencil mics in the middle layer. I'd be more than happy with just those.

Yowza.🤯 I own four of the mics in this package, but this is just a cornucopia of awesome. Priced accordingly. Guess I know what to ask Santa for this year!

After almost 2 years of not touching it since my last attempt, I have decided to renew the hunt for my White Whale. I'm surprised how much of it is still under my fingers.

I do think this test is too easy, though. Some of the fake news headlines are QAnon-bait levels of insane.

"We hear time and time again the same excuses being made that these hateful beliefs are held to "protect" women and children, yet the disproportionate application of their actions proves that is only true when it is convenient for them. Transphobia is an excuse to use violence against those who do not conform to societal expectations of them. Nothing more."
