I think that knowing is knowledge, but I don’t know and will let you know when I know what I should probably know by now, but I’ve just not found the right knowledge to teach me.
Wifi is just radio. So, having your access point or wifi enabled router surrounded by things is bad for your wifi experience.
To a certain degree, you can do a “poor-mans” way of figuring out how good your wifi would be by just putting a speaker where the wifi should be coming from, then go someplace else in the building and ask yourself, “Can I hear the music still?”. You get an idea of how the wifi is moving about. (Keep in mind, it’s not perfect, but if you don’t want to use apps or specialized equipment and want to wing it… this will work in a pinch). Sound is better than light because wifi will penetrate walls/floors/etc, where light won’t, so you can listen against said surfaces and close doors, etc, to get a general idea of things.
Yeah, sound is better than light for that kind of test - but also still not good; because there are many things that block sound but don’t block wifi, and visa versa. (eg. a well insulated double-glazed window is good vs sound, but doesn’t stop any wifi; and a metal mesh can block wifi while stopping very little sound.)
I remember one time I spent ages trying to debug a wifi problem with my laptop. I was messing around with computer settings and router settings for ages trying to work out why my wifi had stopped working. But in the end, I found that it was entirely due to where I was sitting. I sitting in front of my desktop computer’s very large monitor, and the router directly behind the monitor on a shelf in the room next door. The monitor was blocking the wifi. If I move the laptop or the monitor, it worked fine.
Yeah, that method isn’t intended for enterprise work. But someone who isn’t technical can use it to help figure out what’s going on. Not a single person I’ve ever helped with wifi issues wants to map out things with a wifi analyzer. But ask them to use music and people are far more interested. Even as a thought process since (most) people understand how sound works, if they start thinking of wifi as “noise” they can better understand it.
So neat thing about WiFi, 2.4G Blows through drywall like it’s plastic window screen. 5G is dampened a little by it.
Brickwork/masonry blocks 5G mostly, and 2.4G a lot, but not completely
Most Low E glass blocks 2.4G a lot and 5G almost completely, so a glass wall is horrible for wifi, but if there’s just a window, it’ll easily go through the wall next to it.
I resent the implication that I know anything about anything
You’ll have to pay me to tell you what it is I know and then pay me again to explain it.
What do you mean by that?
You’ll have to pay me to tell you what it meant. They didn’t ask for anything specific. Just asked if I knew anything.
Ha ha! We got this one for free!
Damn, you’re one slippery fish.
Got him boys! 🤑
I know a little about somethings and a lot about like 2 things!
What two things?

Must be nice. I can’t even tie my shoes.
If you start with the laces correctly run through the eyelets along the tongue, and with each end roughly the same length, you can pull the lace ends directly up, cross them in an X shape, then pass one end below the x, and pull the slack out of that. Then make a loop on each lace tail, but with opposite chirality. Reach your thumb and index finger through each loop, and grab the edge of the opposing loop which is further from the end of the lace. Now pull each loop through the other, tighten up the knot, and dress it until it looks presentable. If the resulting knot is 90 degrees from the intended direction, use the alternate chirality on each of the loops next time to fix that.
A bonus of this approach is that it’s the same on your shoe as it is on someone else’s, so you can help children with their shoes more easily.
The secret to good tuna salad is to add something crunchy (celery, water chestnut, firm relish), something sweet (sweet relish, pinch of sugar), hard boiled egg yolk or diced whole hard boiled egg, and a small amount of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers to absorb excess moisture, with crackers being slightly tastier due to added sodium but breadcrumbs being preferred if you need to reduce sodium. You can also substitute canned salmon or similar for the tuna if mercury and pollutants are a cause for concern. And of course, a dollop of real mayonnaise, not artificially sweetened, hydrogenated and whipped vegetable byproduct.
Not to brag, but a quick calculation reveals that I have over 3000 hours of pooping experience, so yeah, I know some stuff about pooping 😎
Programming socks makes you better at programming.
I’ll have to put a pin in that and circle back once I’ve had a chance to look into whether I can think about looking for that information for you.
Don’t ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you’ve been, ever, for any reason whatsoever.
Man, I already don’t do verbs at people. I’m posting this to a website though, and that doesn’t involve people, but if you choose to read it, then I’m delighted. If we have that layer of internet abstraction, then we can do whatever we want?
I’m gonna go outside and touch some grass.
