    You can never convince me that wireless is better than a hardwired connection.

    One of most ridiculous wireless things I've encounted was Logitecs Trackball. Like, it's a stationery mouse, specifically designed not need to be moved around.

    And they don't make wired variants at all anymore.

    And it only works with stock android and chrome browser. I hate it so much. Why didn't I buy a miracast dongle?

    Looked into this recently, where do I get commercial signage that isn't 6x the price for the same size screen?

    I feel like I'm the one guy in my friend-sphere that hasn't got a Smart-TV and such, at this point.

    I have little use for anything particularly "smart" when it comes to tv's. Also my paranoia doesn't allow for anymore potential spyware ridden electronics in my home. So I'm pretty happy about that...

    TV software is fucking abysmal. Its laggy, full of bloat and as you point out, their wifi capabilities are shit. I even have the connection/speed issue right now with one of my older TVs.

    I mean, yes, but I was rather wondering, if that extra space was maybe why it couldn't find it. Maybe you had to manually enter the SSID and accidentally put in that extra space? Then again, I don't even know, if you took that photo...

    I had a IoT device "lightbulb" that would trim any spaces left after the passkey, problem being I intentionally had a blank space at the end of my passkey. Took a while to realize till I counted the little stars hiding the recorded passkey.

    I remember when I bought an 40MB hard drive back in the day. (Yes, megabyte, not gigabyte) And I labeled it "WOWSOBIG", because it was huge for me. When I bought a 32" flat screen when those first released I thought that was big. Now even the TV in the bedroom is a 48" and that just the small secondary TV. One of my neighbors across the street has a TV as big as his wall, I can watch his TV from my window.

    Funny how perspectives change over time.

    I remember being so happy my HD was big enough that I could have OG Fallouts "Humongous Installation" on it. About 700MB.

    It was back when 1GB was seen as 1TB was a few years ago.

    How time flies...
