Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

Why are you not using a 2.4ghz or 5ghz wireless bridge?
I've got a 5ghz bridge between my garage and house, and it goes through 2 trees and still gives me around 900mbs. It's over 350m away too.
Not saying that the guy bitching about people who don't have Internet to active win11...just offering you an idea to fix your lack of Internet in your workshop.
Because I don't need an internet connection in the workshop. I don't want to install a bridge just to activate windows.
Ok then why bring it up? Are you doing stuff in the workshop that requires you to activate multiple windows machines? Activate the single cnc machine and be done.
There are many simple and easy solutions to your problem, you just don’t want it to be solved because you want to complain.
I'm frustrated because this is a requirement only because Microsoft wants people to use their cloud services which I will never use
It’s definitely not for that, actually.
Not saying you should, I was just pointing out that you can get Internet/connection to your garage/workshop for like $100 these days. I'd assume most shops with that large of a footprint have some sort of IT service, in house IT, or buying it from a vendor that has that setup already.
