Looks a lot like the Pontiac Aztek to me.

The grammar pedant in me is annoyed they're not called "The Beverlys Crusher" lol.

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn't require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

By Grabthar's Hammer, what a bargain.

That's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, though.

All the stuff I've ordered from Ali is still in use (or in my parts bin awaiting use). e.g. All my smart bulbs are from Ali and were pre-flashed with Tasmota. They're almost 6 years old and going strong.

Awesome sketch! Well done.

But if you ever see me at my most exhausted in an airport, please don't sketch me and put it on the internet 😆. My self esteem would never recover.

That might be it. I was guessing since it's not one I subscribe to.

I almost gave up on the dairy free cheese because Daiya was supposed to be the top-tier one. Tasted like vaguely cheese-flavored plastic strips, and I was not a fan. Also refused to melt until it was just below the temperature of the surface of the sun, and when it did, it was like a pile of glue.

On a whim, I bought the Kroger store brand (Simple Truth I think?) and it's pretty damn good. Tastes like cheese, doesn't feel like a mouth full of plastic, melts at a reasonable temperature, the whole works.

Is this picture...what? AI generated? Not that I'm aware of. I just searched for a stock photo of an old lady knitting and this was one of the results. Just grabbed it and added the text.

Maybe this is an old millennial problem, but I've had the same cell phone number for over 20 years. The number would actively link me to whatever. But that doesn't really bother me too much.

What does bother me is that I get enough spam calls as it is. If you don't carefully read the ToS/EULA/privacy policy when giving them your number for "verification", you may be giving them permission for marketing calls or to have your number shared with their affiliates.
