THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

@hhyyrylainen, why do we have hats in the โ€œOnline Usersโ€ bar, but not in threads?

I installed a discourse update. Iโ€™ll see if I can get it fixed really quickly.

Edit: should be fixed now, I also went and tweaked the hat positioning a bit and fixed the positioning on mobile quite a lot.

Please avoid double posting by editing your existing reply

You mean triple posting.

Yeah, thatโ€™s even worse. And in fact the forum software (discourse) simply wonโ€™t let you post more than 3 times in a row (if you arenโ€™t a moderator), so that was already the longest possible normal post streak.

Then how is it zenzone has successfully posted 5 times in a row?

This was when he started joking about โ€œBore ragnarokโ€.

That shouldnโ€™t be possible. Do you have a link?
Iโ€™ve not seen anyone post more than 3 times in a row, and also the person who usually posted the PUs here was simply unable to post more than 3 in a row before being made a moderator.

Maybe people deleted the posts In between?

I just looked over the thread where i think blackjacksike was tallking about but i donโ€™t see any post with 3 or more in a row.

It should be around here:

Or maybe he was secret mod and no one knew

AFAIK the cooldown doesnโ€™t apply to the creators of the threads.

That sounds like a plausible explanation.

Where does this image come from?

It came from a Brazilian tv show, specifically this clip,

or this gif(jif)

Quick question: Can WiFi 6 devices connect to WiFi 5?

Wi-Fi 6 routers will support Wi-Fi 5 devices just fine, though the latter will run at their rated 802.11ac speeds. Similarly, Wi-Fi 6 devices can still talk to a Wi-Fi 5 router, though again, their throughput will be constrained and most of the advanced features mentioned above will be disabled until they can find supporting devices.


As usual, Wi-Fi 6 devices are backward compatible with previous generations of Wi-Fi. You can get a phone with Wi-Fi 6 and connect it to your Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 4 router. You can get a router with Wi-Fi 6 and connect your older Wi-Fi devices to it, too.


Wi-Fi 6 devices (such as smartphones and laptops) can also connect to WiFi 4 and WiFi 5 routers. So, you wonโ€™t need to upgrade your devices if you get a Wi-Fi 6 router, and you wonโ€™t need to upgrade your router if you get new devices that support Wi-Fi 6.


If you are wondering about if WI-FI 5 devices can connect to WI-FI 6 Routers:


WiFi 6 routers are 100% backwards compatible with WiFi 5 and older WiFi devices. While you may not get to experience WiFi 6 from day one, you can make sure that your network is ready for new devices with WiFi 6 sooner than later.


Though Wi-Fi 6 is backwards compatible with the older 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5), youโ€™ll need a Wi-Fi 6 capable device to take advantage of everything weโ€™ve listed here. As Wi-Fi 6 increasingly becomes the standard over the next few years, newer devices will start incorporating the technology, and it will become the new normal.


Wi-Fi 6 is designed to be backwards compatible with previous standards. That means that the vast majority of Wi-Fi products you have in your home probably work with a Wi-Fi 6 network, although almost none of them support 802.11ax themselves.

Good, because I heard that AMD is gonna get a new socket for Ryzen CPUs this year, although it was mentioned that AM4 users can still upgrade to those new CPUs of theirs. I also have received intelligence that DDR5 RAM is coming and I was considering the upgrade of my motherboard when the new socket comes out despite my WiFi 5 router.

I do hope that there will be less scalpers and more components available this time around.

Itโ€™s already here. Intelโ€™s latest released CPUs really want DDR5, and their performance is quite a bit lower when running with DDR4.

As far as Iโ€™ve seen thereโ€™s been no scalping of motherboards or CPUs. Though, there will likely be some CPU shortages, but it should be in no way near anything as bad as what happened to GPUs.
