Perhaps I have grown rusty and unsavvy in my old age, but didn't this shit start working ten years ago

McMartin: You haven't visited our office recently.~
19:58
<&McMartin>
I'm mostly thinking to myself "when is the last time I actually had to care about firmware compatibility for laptops and such"
19:58
<&jeroud>
Turns out that having dozens of people with their own APs all around you and walls that are transparent to wifi isn't the best plan if you want a decent connection.
19:58
<&McMartin>
That's different~
19:58
<&McMartin>
It's the "mumble mumble firmware" thing
19:58
<&McMartin>
The last time I had to care about that was like 2003
19:59
<&jeroud>
Have you used Ubuntu recently?
20:00
<&McMartin>
... this morning?
20:01
<&McMartin>
I've never been burned by this on Ubuntu
20:02
<&McMartin>
Technically "or Fedora", but Fedora getting their act together way back when is why I had installed it on the laptop in question anyway.
20:06
<&jeroud>
My experience with Ubuntu has been that Network Manager is made of fail and wifi is a major pain.
20:08
<&McMartin>
Right, but is that because your hardware manufacturers claim it is actually illegal to provide you with working drivers
20:09
<&McMartin>
Which is the last time I had to do the mumble-mumble-firmware thing
20:09
<&McMartin>
Lots of things can break WiFi
20:09
<&McMartin>
It's the *specific* case in the comic that felt archaic
20:11
<&jeroud>
I've had to install different drivers a couple of times in the past few years.
20:11
<&jeroud>
But my laptops all run a different unix.
20:12 * sshine finally gets around to installing XMonad again.

Actually, the place I've had the most trouble with wifi has been Windows.

McMartin: maybe you're drawing the line in the wrong place and it's referring to people who show up with home-made laptop prototypes where the wifi card is an FPGA attached to a coat hanger
20:13
<&jeroud>
My dad's laptop refused to connect to anything, but showed several networks available.
20:14
<&McMartin>
ToxicFrog: That's the part where I might be getting old and unsavvy, yes
20:14
<&jeroud>
Turns out the radio had been disabled with the hardware button and the networks it listed were just the ones it remembered seeing before or something.
