There's room for blockchain in every place where: 1. there's a central authority involved 2. the central authority is prone to error, bias and hostility

️=> Most used application is money-based transactions. Banks are central authority and are affiliated with governments, which makes them charge of your money. Use blockchain (Bitcoin).

=> Supply chains are inefficient due to checks and sign offs by so many people. Use blockchain (Hyperledger)

️=> People don't agree on terms, and they end up in a feud or a lawsuit which is costly. Use blockchain (Ethereum)

Blockchain, and decentralization on whole is seen to be as future. Many want to tap it before others. Of course, large number of startups will fail, but it doesn't say anything about the potential this technology holds.

Let's take first example. As a bank - why it is in your interest to release that authority to blockchain when you are authority and existing infrastructure exists?

Even banks can be victims of inefficacy or corruption due to too many middle men. Furthermore, they can also have disputes about ownership of loans, property or money. In my country, there is a bank that is actively embracing and supporting blockchain: https://www.abnamro.com/en/about-abnamro/innovation/blockcha...

If Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies weren't enough to take Bitcoin down. This is gonna do it.

I developed it as a weekend project, and to help me hone my skills in Sockets and front-end. Would love to see some suggestions and new approaches. :)

I've seen the Unix timestamp as One Four something since I started active coding since 2015. So I'm excited about this.

Twelve-billioner here (or was it 11-bil? hmm). Sounds like we're onto a new measure of work experience!

Actually, you would be either a 1.2 or 1.1-billioner. It's an order of magnitude less.

Oops, you're right.

I see it more as a blow to tech industry in U.S. Especially when most other countries like Canada are opening up to skilled workers

I don't think it's just a wrapper. It's a script which does 'n' tasks in 1 command. One of the command is applying those drivers, but the critical part is the configuration to select the second antenna.

This solution works on Linux. Official HP drivers are usually the best way on Windows.

I haven't noticed that pattern. for example my ₹30,000 Lenovo works fine but ₹50,000 HP doesn't.

$465 and $775 aren't exactly cheap and premium.

Premium lines usually start at $1000 ~ $1200.

That would correspond to HP's ZBook or EliteBook lines. They do have genuine 2x2 multi-antenna setups. There's nothing "Pro" about a $775 "ProBook".

Lenovo makes more business-oriented laptops in general, but the Ideapads are definitely their low-end (and come with 1x1 antennas - found at least one with a single antenna and dual-band wireless chip [1]). The Thinkpad T-series portables or W- (now P-series) workstations are definitely the way you want to go. And they do have genuine multi-channel Wifi solutions.

It's just incompatibility between hardware and software. HP's official drivers for Windows work perfectly, but no such privilege to Linux users.

Thank you Nostradamus. it already happened.
