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.”
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.
Dude that’s ridiculous!
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.

I invested in Cat6 for future proofing, only for it to turn out that there’s nothing Cat6 can do that Cat5e can’t. 🤦♂️

A dream come true. Whoever lives there must be a fundamentally happy person.
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’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.

They’ve been spending most their lives living in the gamers paradise~
To me, a gamers paradise is a clean desk with a high end PC connected to a removedin sweet ultra wide monitor. This pic just makes me itch all over.
Is that a bedpan? Potty whatever? Under the bed?
I don’t know what it is but it seems to have a wintery ice-skating scene on it.
I saw it as more of an antifa scene of a street protest? Hard to tell
Rage-quitting must be extra satisfying, throwing your controller down onto bare concrete.
Wow! Dirty mofos
I would need AC but apart from that…
I can smell it from here…
That’s where they house mmo bot makers
Eesh. The dwelling of someone who only lives virtually. Depressing.

I see SootHouse moved into the area of Bulgaria they bought land in years ago.
