You haven’t said who you’re actually buying from

You must not have actually read the post.

Parked state doesn’t mean much when the box the drive is in is launched 20ft during the shipping process.

And there he is, the douchebag shines through.

What you’ve purchased are OEM drives. They are shipped in big boxes with other drives, slotted into foam slots. Generally a good packer will bubble wrap the shit out of the bare drives when they ship them to you. Retail box drives aren’t shipped like this.

You must be pretty young, because back in the dark days of spinning HDDs a computer would take 5+ minutes to boot.

Those storage freezers are doing nothing the vast majority of the time. Not really a fair comparison.

cloudflare + the dynamic dns plugin for opnsense.

Should be #1, tbh.

I am not sure if it’s inherent to either economic structure

Has little to do with the economic structure and everything to do with the fact that shitty humans are shitty, have always been shitty, and likely will continue to be shitty. And the shittiest among us are the ones that seek power.

I think it is totally okay to dead name Bruce Jenner

And I think it’s perfectly OK to call you a cunt. Because you are.

If you aren’t willing to give the OP the information he was requesting, why respond at all?

You shouldn’t until your ISP upgrades to DOCSIS 4 and provides a list of compatible modems.

and 3.1 has already been succeeded by 4.0 in 2017

And yet there are vanishingly few areas that have implemented DOCSIS 4.0. Most places are only now getting around to implementing 3.1 fully.

This will never be “solved” by hotel staff.

Cat 5e

The fact that your old cable was cat5e has no bearing whatsoever on you getting shit speeds before changing cables. The gigabit spec was codified and products were on the market before the cat5e spec was ratified. Gigabit ethernet was literally made for standard cat5. I bet your previous cable was terminated incorrectly, and was only using two of the four pairs, limiting you to 100mbit.
