Sweden and crime are two words I never expected to be in the same sentence together. What the hell Sweden

About god-damned time someone did something about that.

Not great that it had to be California legislating it for the rest of the country but we'd pass out if we held our breath on Congress doing anything useful

Well that's deeply troubling.

I would downvote this if I could.

This kind of shit is what's actively making the internet a worse experience.

No human wants to read generic drivel written by a machine, let alone being fooled into clicking on this asshole's website because they gamed the search engine to get their garbage ranked higher on the list

Oh that's why no videos would load.

Damn it

Y'all need to salt your water.

It prevents nearly all the sticking and it makes pasta delicious

Looks like a beautiful day for a hike!

Oh my god, thank you for this. You solved a year long sufferfest for this internet stranger because of that greyed out button. Every god-damned guide online points you towards that button and I could not find the solution for it. What the fuck Mozilla

Pharmacies in my area have had the updated shots for like a month now, what the hell is happening in California

Edit,, appears the article is about a month old. Mystery solved

Or maybe presenting the absurdity of his words speaks a stronger message.

If seeing anti trump memes about recent news is difficult then you’re going to have a bad time on lemmy.

Did you not watch the debate?

Oh yes I'm sure the Israeli version of Trump is definitely going to relinquish power

 

I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router's wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the walls is annoying but headphones block enough that it's a non-issue as long as I can load something to play through them. The real rub is that I also would like to do something on the laptop during breakfast and her neverending news autoplay eats up all the bandwidth I am paying for when I want to use it. I can't cut off her internet, but I could prioritize my traffic over hers in the morning so that I can load an episode of something and listen through headphones. Yes I know this would be a bit unscrupulous but I have already suggested she not doomscroll via youtube all morning, to no avail.

Setting up a separate ISP account for the adjacent space isnt an option for the time being. The router/modem combo is ISP-issued and locked down by default due to too many service calls from people breaking stuff in settings. As far as I know it is not able to be swapped out to an off-the-shelf due to this being fiber optic internet, plus I'm only so-so in tech knowledge.

Which leads me to the title, can I put the ISP-issued router in a faraday cage, connect my own router via ethernet and be able to control settings via that route? Any reason I shouldn't/couldn't?
