My skin is pretty itchy tonight. A shower, followed by heavy application of lotion, should solve that. -

Me: Yes. You can have some. Just don't eat all of them.
lazyNephew: (Closing door and walking away.) I can't make that promise.
Kids are funny, even when they're almost thirty years old. -

Also lazyNephew: stops at a fast food place on his way home from work, gets two bags worth of food.
Hmm 🤔 -

I hear some bad rap music coming in the window closest to his room, so I assume that's him playing it. At least he seems to have turned the subwoofer off, so my walls aren't vibrating. -

Apparently browsing an unsecured SMB share led to the neighbor's porn being discovered by his wife.
I can't say how much is true, but I did know about Steve's network. -

Not funny. -

(And of course, he's trying to figure out how to get disks for the NAS I sent him for his birthday.)
A couple of years ago, I shipped him the parts to build a gaming PC (and a 2nd, lower spec PC for the kids). He's been gradually improving it ever since.
I also sent almost identical parts to my nephew ( #lazyNephew ), who spent a lot of time grumbling about performance, and is just now starting to plot his parts upgrade plan.
Sorry, I'm not a zillionaire. Even though I bought some pretty expensive stuff (to me ... just the GPU card costed more than pretty much any pre-assembled computer I've ever bought for myself), it wasn't top of the line "I made a million dollars streaming last year" stuff. -

There were some occasional quality issues ... possibly because three of us were connecting from different rooms here. Added to whatever game #lazyNephew was playing, it may have saturated the connection. My oldest brother was unable to connect, but no one has followed up to try to figure out why. His granddaughter is his usual tech support, but she cannot go over right now.
.
Going to try this with my kids and grandkids, if we can ever schedule it, but we may continue our use of #Wire. I think the video and audio quality is better ... but we've only used 1:1 so far. -

As though he thinks those funds will be used for anything other than bills. -

Now I remember why I have not had their food in 25 years. At least their pepperoni pizza is mega-salty. -

Two nights ago, #lazyNephew ordered from a wing place. Yesterday, my sister cooked spaghetti. Tonight, I mixed winglets and fries with spaghetti. -

I hope she did not tell #lazyNephew, because he'll beg and promise, trying to get her to buy him a car, when she's already overstretched and stressed out about making the payments that she already owes (including paying off the last car she co-signed for him). -

Starting to get frustrated with him about him not contributing around the house (and with my sister for not teaching her sons that "everyone contributes when and where they can"). -

(I don’t know what he ate today, besides instant ramen noodle soup, but whatever it was, he’s sharing.) -

No TP in any of them. Canned goods are almost gone now. Most frozen vegetables are gone, but those microwave meals are still in stock. Let me correct that. Nearly all vegetables are gone, whether fresh or frozen, whole or sliced. Meat is almost all gone.
Thanks to hoarders, everyone that had no extra funds available are now having to spend EXTRA time in public places seeking necessities.
(We're not in any danger of starving. We have a at least couple of weeks worth of food, depending on how much #lazyNephew eats at home.) -

A lot depends on whether #lazyNephew still has money ... he eats almost as much as the rest of us combined, but he will eat fast food (instead of home-cooked) if he can afford it. -

If he thinks he's going to spend $2K on a laptop, he's going to have to get a second job or replace his current part-time job with a full-time job. -

But when #lazyNephew grumbles about lag and slowness (the connection here is 50Mbps down and 50Mbps up) in his current gameplay, I imagine that those whose connections are slower than this are having even worse experiences. Therefore, I think a streaming-only game solution is doomed to be unusable in most of the US.
Maybe they can bring back the local pay-to-play shops where Internet speeds were higher than normal, so that gamers can satisfy their online multiplayer needs. Otherwise, the best online multiplayer experiences will have to come from reviving peer-based LAN parties.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
