802.11r accelerates the multi step handshake that you have to perform with WPA enterprise when you roam from one access point to another. There is a much shorter handshake for WPA personal so there is no advantage to enabling 802.11r if you’re not using Enterprise auth.
Take the face plate off your phone jack and if you see a wire with four pairs of wires inside, only two connected to the jack, you may be in luck. I had rented a few townhomes which were like that, enabling me to build out a simple wired network without modifying or drilling at all.
By separating the router from the Wi-Fi access point, even if you only use one AP, you’re able to put the AP in the best place for full coverage. I hired an electrician to run the cable for me when I bought a house about 10 years ago- he charged a reasonable price, cut a minimum number of holes in the wall, and I was left with a cable in the center ceiling of the house which gave me excellent service throughout with a ceiling mounted AP.
Since then I’ve added on to the house and run additional wires to more ceiling mounted APs to get consistent 5ghz only access throughout the house. Rock solid and never have to think about it (although it is always tempting to tweak)
As they say, at least it’s not rocket science. Except in this case apparently running a social media site is actually more difficult than rocket science.
Problem is he’s also loaded Twitter with significant debt to take it private. Estimated interest payments alone total to over $1.2b annually - so… we are actually losing an additional $200m annually even after firing 75% of the staff.
I have led bulbs everywhere (new build, recessed lights). Thankfully they don’t have the flicker effect I’ve seen on other bulbs. And I’ve found that I actually prefer the more “daylight” bulbs in certain areas such as kitchens. The cans do have adjustable color temperature (a physical switch) so it’s not too bad if I decide I’d like a warmer light down the road.
> What can cause a contrast sensitivity deficit? > Many things can affect the ability to perceive contrast. These include nutritional deficiencies, the consumption of alcohol, drug/medication use, and exposure to endogenous or exogenous neurotoxins and/or biotoxins, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), venom from animal or insect stings or bites, some species of mold and the mycotoxins and microbial VOCs they produce, cyanobacteria, dinoflagellates (particularly Pfiesteria and Ciguatera), apicomplexans, parasites, heavy metals like mercury and lead, and the pathogens responsible for Lyme disease and its common co-infections.

For example I couldn't tell the text at all in any of the four tags, including the "hard to read" or "quite unreadable".

That said, my 11yo daughter said to me yesterday "why don't they just add AI to Siri" after failing to get Siri to tell her how long a timer was originally set for (Siri would only tell you how much time is left on the timer).
Someone did build a crazy ChatGPT-to-Siri bridge through Automations which I haven't tried yet but plan to at some point...
