DocScrutinizer05: i note, abave, there are many adapters to put second hdd/sdd in optical-drive-bay for laptops etc.... =)
<DocScrutinizer05>
yep
<DocScrutinizer05>
optical drives are power greedy, particularly during write mode
<enyc>
I use a HP laptop where the SATA port broke along with a failed fujitsu sata hdd ;p
<DocScrutinizer05>
so no problem with having a rather humble SSD there
* enyc
using raid-1 of USB sticks sat inside the hdd-bay
<DocScrutinizer05>
sorry, I'm busy, need to get some insurance stuff done
<enyc>
one uses the usb signals from an external usb port (now wired as charging-port instead), the other uses usb signals from a mini-pcie-slot =)
<enyc>
DocScrutinizer05: good luck =)
<FIQ>
<openbot_> [04:07:08] they openly do extortion
<DocScrutinizer05>
ta
<FIQ>
at least they're open about it
<DocScrutinizer05>
please when openbotty comes back, tell him those suckers basically have no means to tell apart a private (NAT) router from a PC you connected

<DocScrutinizer05>
what they meant prolly is "you must not replace our router on the pole with your own one" - which is pretty obvious
<DocScrutinizer05>
((no means)) it would be possible by analyzing IVs resp sequence numbers on IP packets, which in a deep analysis gives relatively good hint of how many separate OS (also in VM) are running on that internet connection
<DocScrutinizer05>
this is very demanding a task to do though
<DocScrutinizer05>
and they still couldn't tell apart a router from a windows PC that "shares internet via WLAN"

DocScrutinizer05 yes you are right my faculty told me so when i asked
<openbot>
i read like 1000 cisco pages today
<openbot>
shortly i should be a network engineer
<openbot>
and the good part is i have decided to get enroled to a short (6 months) networking course
<openbot>
and i am damm serious
<openbot>
i need to find some time or maybe substract some of my hobbies as network seems to be too imp to be ignored
<openbot>
the word (extortion) seems to be wrong but some similar word would be fit i mean its just my terrible vocabulary
<openbot>
about 'openly' yes they do it openly in my whole nebiourhood
<openbot>
i did some research to their behaviour and found out the core reason
<openbot>
it is like smashing all the apples in a basket because of a few rotten apples
<openbot>
the reason to charge for a router is some fellow students became ISP'S i.e they applied for a conection and shared it to a dozen dividing the costs
<openbot>
so the isp is in loss "thats their statement"
<openbot>
so they earn some of the lost revenue by this wicked method
<openbot>
which is prevalent in my area as people do not know router is a intregal part of the internet
<openbot>
hell the internet is faceb ook or maybe twitter or whatsapp or a giant hard disk from where they can download stuff iand they think router charges are standerd and pay for a router
<openbot>
i.e only a few asked them i.e i am one of the half adozen
<openbot>
its like the local isp embedded the idea to peoples brains
<openbot>
is (manipulation the correct word then ?
<openbot>
i talked to them again and didnt hold back
<openbot>
charges per month for a router is 200 rs (3.01) us dollars
<openbot>
200 rs is a little pocket money for students but it matters for many spending it uselessly at least in a devloping country like india
<openbot>
the strange part is i got offerd a rs 50 (usd 0.75) when i started to investigate more and more
<openbot>
its like bribing but insted actually taking money
<openbot>
for 520 rs (7.82 usd) they provide 512kb bandwith for a month then add up another rs 200 (3.01) so it goes to 720 rs (10.83 usd)
<openbot>
that does hurt my small pocket
<openbot>
and 512 kbps is just terrible i.e actual speed is like 60kbps stable or at lucky times goes up to like 80kpbs stable sometimes jumping to 120 or 150 kbps
<openbot>
so naturally one would go for 1mbps link that costs 850 rs (12.78 usd) then add 200 (3.01 usd ) to it
<openbot>
its crazy
<openbot>
but not crazy if one can implement the idea and generate additional revenue
<openbot>
it becomes a standerd
<openbot>
:)
<Psykus>
so does anyone use a vanilla n900 as their daily driver phone still? considering picking one up off craigslist for $65

<pigeons>
check coverage in your area, some usa areas carriers have been removing older equipment for more lte coverage and i now have another phone
<pigeons>
but thats a good price, you can use the case etc for your neo900
<Psykus>
ouch
openbot has joined #neo900
<openbot>
thats a good price if you need its a fair deal Psykus
<openbot>
DocScrutinizer05 - router as in wired ethernet or a wireless wifi router
vakkov has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
<openbot>
DocScrutinizer05 - and no i do not have any intentions to replace the switch or router or whatever multilanport device the pole houses
<openbot>
DocScrutinizer05 - do you really think i am that crazy :O
<openbot>
i dont know what to do next accept the discount pay full fee or get the line disconected and be done with limited 2g or exotic 3g as before
<openbot>
i feel terrible
<openbot>
its like the only option you have and they take advantage of it
<openbot>
but for sure wired internet is a whole diffrent experience

<openbot>
yes
<openbot>
what is single pc line
<DocScrutinizer51>
the cable that comes from that pole
<openbot>
i got 2 lappies
<openbot>
one good vaio that i am going to sell
<openbot>
and a working hp
<DocScrutinizer51>
connect that cable to a 7USD wet54g and everything fine
<openbot>
ebay.in
<openbot>
can you check there
<DocScrutinizer51>
not now
<DocScrutinizer51>
later
<openbot>
i was looking for routers too but cant select one
<openbot>
ok sure
<openbot>
any input at any time is more than welcome
<DocScrutinizer51>
stay tuned
<openbot>
you have no idea how much this off topic discussion helped me
