    I was thinking it had more to do with the use of the 900MHz band which has advantages in the penetration of certain materials compared to higher frequencies but I'm not an expert.

    Cellular signals have a hard time penetrating dense concrete buildings and underground structures. That's why doctors still use them, even in the States.

    Some of this style of packing peanuts are made from corn and are actually completely edible. They don't taste great, though.

    mildlyinfuriating Mildly Infuriating I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

    I get mine at the vision center in Walmart every two years for around $110-150 without any insurance which gets me an eye exam, contact lens prescription, glasses prescription, and one trial pair of contacts. I believe they are all third party, optometrist-owned practices that just rent space in the buildings so YMMV.

    I can remember watching a partial eclipse in the early '90s from my elementary school... except we were only allowed to watch it from inside of a lame cardboard shadow box of liability and fear. It was as underwhelming as it was safe.

    All the men on my mom's side of the family have been bald for as long as I can remember so I knew I was doomed when my hair started thinning in my early twenties. Now that I've been shaving it for years, I don't miss it one bit. It's so much less of a hassle than keeping it clean and straight and cut neatly.

    It's just hair. You can either own it or wear a hat while you wait a few months until it grows back -- and then be grateful that it still does.

    While the single was released in 1990, I do realize that the original album was in 1989. Feel free to ban me for this unforgivable transgression, but please consider that me suddenly feeling older than dirt after posting this fact may actually be punishment enough.

    Transcoding performance on Intel NUC

    I'm taking down my big Supermicro server to save energy and moving Plex/Jellyfin/*arr to a spare 10th gen Intel NUC with SSDs. Performance is fine for DirectPlay media to my SHIELD and mobile devices, but the onboard GPU power is limited and struggles to even transcode some 1080p media -- let alone 4K. Does anyone have experience using eGPUs in a Thunderbolt chassis with a NUC and can you share what worked or didn't work for you in terms of hardware and configuration? Edit: this is an i7-10710U with NVMe storage and 32GB of RAM, running Windows 10 with all the latest drivers directly from Intel.
