Is this a thing people say unironically? It's as dumb as saying "just go be a movie star"

In my experience, this highly depends on the college. Mine really didn't do shit for me as far as networking goes. And what connections i did make didn't end up helping anyway. Maybe it starts mattering more once you've got some experience?

I've heard there's an enormous demand for experienced tradespeople, but apprenticeships are pretty much full up...

Kind of a nobody-wins situation. Money to be made, just not by anyone on the ground floor.

I mean, presumably he isn't just taking them to the junkyard... Someone out there is probably still driving those cars

The reason they don't want you using your own WiFi access point is probably because dorms are prone to over congestion if everyone sets up their own WiFi network.

If you wanted to fuck with them-and you don't mind spending money-then you could set up your WiFi and get internet via mobile carrier or starlink, so that you never actually have to agree to their terms. Then when/if someone comes around to bitch at you you can watch them slowly come to the conclusion that they've got nothing on you.

Otherwise your options are to follow the rules to the letter and live without vr streaming, or accept that you might get in trouble. Some WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you'll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.

As for connecting multiple devices without paying; there's probably some creative ways to tunnel all your traffic through a single device to get around that. Could still get you in trouble if you're caught.

If you're doing anything that could get you in trouble with the school make sure you save the email in which they told you using your own router is allowed.

Dunno, I don't eat ice cream much anymore, but this sounds preferable to the solid blocks that bend spoons and you need steel wedges and a splitting maul to get out of the carton.

admin wouldn't even work. It's too short.

Already run it on my laptop, and used to dual boot. I'm just trying let proton mature as much as possible before migrating my desktop for good.

Well, I was gonna run win10 until its service life ends next year. I guess MS want to speed up the timeline a little.

Arch here I come.

$3.99 in app for me rn. Total ripoff.

I've seen even shorter limits. Still annoying.

And their customers are unhappy with the catastrophic service failure. Cry me a river.
