Good timing: I just installed several adapters, as I had areas in my home with poor wifi signal and my house is unfriendly to running new Ethernet cables, but has a coax connection in almost every room. I am shocked by how good it is, even over my house's ancient coax, which was installed by careless morons. I'm getting 930Mbps running iperf to another machine on my lan. I did make sure to replace the multitude of splitters in my house with MoCA rated ones, but those are cheap. If you currently have a cable provider make sure to install a POE filter where the line enters your home so you're not sending your signal upstream.
Kim Stanley Robinson wrote an excellent trilogy about the colonization of Mars that goes through the evolution of colony of earthlings that eventually grow to view themselves as martians and seek independence. Highly recommend!
Inevitable conclusion: "Ah, reading the code is expensive. It's probably fine to trust it, right???"
There's never been an engineer CEO at Apple. Should be interesting.
Please don't give up on making friends - you just haven't found your group yet and it may or may not be the same people you're with in University. See if there's a group nearby that shares an interest in an activity you enjoy. Give yourself a goal of trying 3 activities/groups and attend a few sessions. It's sometimes tempting to bail after a single session, so I'd try to stick with it a few times (unless you're absolutely certain you will never enjoy it).
As others in this thread have said, most other people are too busy and involved in their own lives to think that much about anyone else, so I suspect your concerns about people talking badly about you are very overblown. Don't let your insecurities fill in an imaginary void of what other people are thinking.
Being social is a skill and it takes time to hone, just like any other. You have to put in the time and be willing to put yourself in the vulnerable position of being around new people and accept that you're going to click with some better than others.
Friendships are vitally important to our mental health and I hope you don't give up on forging them. You just haven't found your circle yet, so keep trying!
You can definitely put them up and take them down faster.
Away from here with your logic and balanced views.
"What are you doing stepbro?"
Yeah? Well...you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.
