      But v1.18.x is higher than v1.2.x? 🤨

      The 18th update of version 1 vs the 2nd update of version 1.

        Please search before asking questions.

        Either this is the Hamster pro max v1.2 v18.345 which is different from the Hamster Max v1.0 or the router can’t parse two digit minor versions because it’s too old.

      ugh didn’t you hear about the CVE affecting v1.2.823-1.2.967 though? Those hamsters had missing input validation which could be exploited to overflow the buffer size and execute remote inputs. Your router is basically toast at that point.

      Is that a Qualcomm chipset? Sorry bud, you’re gonna have to wait 8-12 business decades for that firmware to be supported.

      Hello I accidentally sacrificed Hamster Pro Max to my regular Pro router. There weren’t any warnings or errors it just took its soul, and now when I turn it on the light flashes red 3 times and for a few seconds I can see the eighth circle of hell where Diviners are forced to walk backwards blinded by their own tears.

      What I want to ask is, can I extend the timer to at least a minute? This super cute witch winked at me, but when I try to ask her out all I hear are screams of the damned and then the connection goes down please help me.

    I dunno when it became the norm to say the WiFi’s down when it’s actually totally fine and unrelated to the internet connection being down.

    People at my work have said this even though they’re using docks plugged with Cat 5.

      Probably because ISPs like to fob you off with suggestions of poor wifi rather than address the actual internet issue you contact them about.

      Non-technical people don’t have any idea what a LAN is, and can’t imagine any reason for WiFi to exist other than to get their device on the Internet.

      So WiFi becomes a synonym for “Internet connection”, perfectly interchangeably.

      Cat5? Not even Cat5e? You sure the problem isn’t just that their connection is 10Mbps or worse and we sites aren’t just taking a couple minutes to load?

        Yeah, e. Just didn’t bother with the variance. Though, could even be Cat6 for all I know, never looked.

        Almost just said Cat but figured that may confuse people. Our engineers keeping the network purring like a kitty.

    Is the Wi-Fi down, or is Internet access down? Because you’re probably gonna need a gerbil instead of that hamster

    Wifi being down is just a minor inconvenience for tech oriented people. Spare some lives and just contact your local geek/nerd.

      Or just learn how the god damned devices you use work.

      I do not understand how it became so normalized to just not bother with knowing how anything works. It’s not like this is a new thing either. So many old jokes surrounding people’s VCR clocks not being set.

        At least it’s giving me job security. I’m a middle age geek that worked low level IT most of my life, thinking the younger generations would know how computers work and be able to fix small issues on their own. Hah.

      Your wifi probably isn’t even down. Most of the time its your ISP and you just don’t know the difference between WiFi and internet.

        I even have a plan when there are power outages. The hard drive that contains most of the media I collected over the years is external. In case of power outage I can power it with a power bank and a USB-C PD to 12v adapter.

        But this probably reads like wizardry for people that equate wifi to internet.

      First of all, fuck Rogers with a rusty statue of a cactus, and second, fuck them again.

      I don’t understand how a company that big can be that bad at uptime. I moved to Teksavvy years ago and haven’t had any outages since. I refuse to do direct business with any of the big three.

      If you it’s your neighborhood cat, then it’s probably only cat 1 or cat 2, so it won’t be of much use to you unless you wanna play Zork on your local community college’s mainframe. That might work.

      Back in the day, the fuzzy ones had to sacrifice bandwidth for cuteness.

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
