Really liking this "hammer that still makes a clink even when it misses the nail" analogy.

My parents did, or nearly did.

This already works with Louisiana Wallet app (the digital ID solution in this state) with some sites.

This feature is super annoying. I'll be trying to fill in cell by cell and constantly need to recheck every time I hit enter because sometimes it will just make up stuff for the rest of the data and it's hard to notice until it's too late sometimes.

When I was young some neighborhood kids were doing this, driving by and hitting mailboxes with a bat. So my dad installed our mailbox onto an upside down L shaped poll that would happily swing in the hole it sat in. The next time we heard them drive by:
- we hear boom (from the bat hitting the mailbox),
- then a crashing sound as the mailbox swung around and knocked their back window out.

That stopped them pretty quickly.

Been living in my house for over 4 years now, AT&T refuses to admit that what they are giving me (3Mbps down/1Mbps up for $55/month) is not broadband. Spectrum says AT&T will help so they refuse to talk. I do live in a "rural" area, but I have a friend less than a mile away getting 60Mbps from Spectrum for $35/month, the big Telco are too big, it would sure be nice to have more than a single option for wired internet... some small ISP's competing would do wonders... even if just two of the big ones were competing things would improve...

You don't. It's simulations all the way up and turtles all the way down.

And the other relevant xkcd:

He went way off this chart! lol

I would love it if AT&T would consider giving me 4Mbps, been stuck with 768kbps for a long time now with no hope from AT&T whatsoever, and no other options out there other than expensive high latency satellite.

Did anyone else read that as "Human Limbs Evolved From Shark Fins Thanks To Sonic The Hedgehog Game" at first? I was trying to figure out how playing the Sega game would change shark fins into human limbs...

Hahaha. Yeah of course I could buy another dsl line. 80 bucks a month for 1.536Mbps. Still not fast enough. Plus, AT&T won't even bury the line they did put down. They won't even come out to check if we can get faster speeds. No way we'd ever actually get that second slow as hell line.

I don't think this has anything to do with caps. I have AT&T DSL and as I mentioned on a previous story today, all I can get out of them is 768kbps. I can *barely* stream SD netflix without too many buffering breaks, no way in hell I'm going to stream a 4k movie.

All these are great ideas, lol, technically would work; I'm an electrical engineer working in the wireless world so I am certain I could get it up and running. None of that helps when you aren't good friends with the neighbors.(-; I'd really rather just be able to purchase the bandwidth they obviously are able to provide.

Correct, too far for WiFi to be reasonable between properties.
