    Lies!

    I see wi-fi antennae. What gamer settles for that?

    I want to go to an estate agent and say “I want a house so wired that if I down 82 redbulls and punch through the drywall after losing a round of Call of Skyrim, anywhere in the house, I should be able to reach in the hole and pull out a bale of Cat 6.”

      Wifi 6 is pretty amazing. I play on it since my apartment has a weird layout and I will not drag a cable from one side of the apartment (where the router is) to the other (where the office is located).

      Network latency averages somewhere around 5ms which is totally fine.

      Looks like a router to me, in which case it’s probably for his phone and tv.

      The pc is close enough to it to be hardwired

      I have a similar setup. Three monitors with the tower behind and a router on top. All hard-lined. Wifi is only for dumb shit like phones and handhelds.

      We’re living with my grandmother temporarily, and we don’t want the risk of trip hazard so had to get a good WiFi router.

      It goes down whenever she uses the microwave - awesome for me, as I work from home.

      Also we’re tied to using her ISPs router because we didn’t want to risk losing her phone number and other dramas moving to ours, so the modem router we use is theirs, and it sucks and the first two have blown up in the space of a year - we’re on our third.

      Meanwhile our great equipment is sitting in plastic crates in the garage.

      Oh well. Do it for her!

        But why would you lose her phone number using another router? I use the cable company’s shitty modem but I have a super nice router, no issues. If her landline phone is actually VoIP then it seems like it should still function with another router? Maybe I’m wrong on that. If it’s a true landline then one should have nothing to do with the other though. Oh and one more point if the car comp6just nukes her phone number and hands it to someone else because you hooked up a 3rd party router then seriously eff them.

          In Australia, the phone number is tied to the ISP, and she’s with the biggest, worst one. We considered porting but the risk would be too great and she was too anxious about it.

              We’re living here rent free, just paying our share of utilities and saving money while giving her company - I can’t complain too much about the small things!

          It’s on some dual band thing which can be split - I think we forgot to set it up on the last two, only bothered on the first. I can’t remember if the first went down when the microwave was used.

      You have described my house.

      The walls are made of patches after the nightmare install.

      WiFi 5 pings are just 2x larger than a direct patch cord to the router. This is just a few microseconds difference. WiFi 6 is basically on par with cable. WiFi 7 is better than cable.

      Gamers who don’t use WiFi are stuck in the stone age.

              I don’t know what 20 ft means, but my PC is 2 walls away and there’s literally no drop in performance. Either your walls are bad or your WiFi is bad.

    What’s bad about this?

    Take 2 days to lay a carpet and paint the place and it’ll be completely fine. Easy and simple.

      Sure it’s easy. That’s why the seller should have done it. If you sell a house you should stage it properly so you get the most money out of it. Many people have zero imagination and can’t see past the current interior design. The seller is an idiot for putting it on sale like this. They don’t even have to place carpet just coat the floor with white paint and it suddenly looks modern.

      That looks like a concrete floor. You can’t put flooring on it without some kind of vapor barrier / moisture release solution. It’ll just be mold heaven.

      Speaking of mold and moisture, this is just a photo, but I can smell the musky smell of damp stale air!

    Still more in it than some programmer ‘homes’ I’ve seen, where it’s matress on the floor, boxes as tables, but a desk and a computer.

    Reminds me of drug dens. I think this kind of thing happens when too much of your life is consumed by a single thing…

      I had to quickly move to a short-term rental and I did this. I had a three-inch pad on the floor to sleep on, a folding chair, and a desk with my laptop on it.

        I’m a programmer, and as such, knew lots of other programmers. It was alarmingly common. I always tried to make a bit more of a home, and do other things outside of programming outside of work, but most didn’t. It was office or pub. But maybe it’s a 20s thing.

      When I moved out for the very first time I was using banana boxes and a piece of plywood as a computer desk. It honestly worked pretty dang good until my relocation check cleared and I was able to buy real furniture.

    There’s no scattered empty soda, and chip bags. Also, there’s definitely be a layer of cheatoh and Doritos dust over everything giving a sort of neon orange tinge. Clearly this is staged.

    Typing this right now from a garage office with unpainted, somewhat uninsulated walls and a concrete floor. I don’t mind working in it, but I wouldn’t want to live here.
