Black-and-white thinking is characteristic of the right wing. You can look at any topic and see it with them: COVID, vaccines, climate change, immigration, welfare, the economy, etc. They always frame things as either all bad or not bad at all, and can’t handle shades of grey or multidimensional analysis. They will seize on Bill Gates’s statement to claim climate change is not a problem.
I’m not saying this is the ideal solution, but I’ve had decent performance from the house to a shed 60 feet away using Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 nodes in the house (with one in the window at the back of the house) and an Asus RT-AX56U extender in the shed. Most days I get decent speeds, good enough to use for work and watching videos. Very occasionally there’s a bad day. I originally tried with the dual-band Asus ZenWifi AX Mini cubes, but they were not powerful enough. Their bigger tri-band units work better.
There are probably better solutions though, using directional dishes. I just did this because, like you, I didn’t want to have to mess with holes for ethernet cables, mounting dishes to poles, etc.
Oh, and I once had bad signal so I put the unit at the back of the house at what would roughly be the focal point of a large metal kitchen bowl and pointed the bowl at the shed, and the signal improved dramatically
The Asus boxes are overpriced when new, but you can get them for cheap used.

This government doesn’t use public money to help people, silly! Hurting and self-enrichment only!
There have been internet distributed file systems, but they tend to be very slow, availability can be patchy, and the capacity ordinary users could contribute wouldn’t be anywhere near enough for an internet archive.
They were bound to come after the archive sites at some point, because they allow people to see information the Trump government has deleted. We need a distributed, resilient archive, but the storage requirements are huge.
Mint or Fedora would be my first choices. I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for my own computers but I think those others are better for people new to Linux. In my experience Fedora does a good job of combining up-to-dateness and stability. Mint is less up to date, but close enough to Ubuntu and Debian that loads of the help materials out there will apply to it.
Air India has offered an interim compensation payment to Mr Ramesh of £21,500, which has been accepted, but his advisers say this is not enough to meet his immediate needs.
The family fishing business in Diu in India, which Mr Ramesh ran with his brother before the crash, has since collasped, his advisers said.
Spokesman for the family Mr Seiger said they had invited Air India for a meeting on three occasions, and all three were either “ignored or turned down”.
The media interviews were the team’s way of reissuing that appeal for the fourth time, he said.
Mr Seiger added: "It’s appalling that we are having to sit here today and putting him [Viswashkumar] through this.
"The people who should be sitting here today are the executives of Air India, the people responsible for trying to put things right.
“Please come and sit down with us so that we can work through this together to try and alleviate some of this suffering.”
Poor guy. It sounds like he’s really struggling. Air India needs to do right by him and pay him enough for some good mental and physical care. The amount they have paid him isn’t nearly enough, as he could have lifelong problems from the crash.
All generalisations are great.
In one of the videos, all members of the pod share the pink liver fat while the rest of the shark’s body sinks into the ocean’s depths. During the hunt, a sea lion lurks, seemingly trying to sneak away with a free meal. But the orcas blow bubbles, apparently to deter the pest.
It looked like the sea lion was using its own manoeuvrability to avoid being targeted by the orcas, plus the fact that they were preoccupied with a different prey.
If the line is trending higher all the time, that’s going to happen often.
How would a massive political upheaval make it rain? Seems more a matter of climate change than regime change.

I feel bad for their kids.
Only in that it’s free for now. But how many features will start disappearing behind a paywall with each update, or how many ads or subtle limitations will be introduced? In the end it may effectively become a subscription, which is exactly where we all thought they would go with this.
Good news! This kind of work is much needed right now.
For now, Android is the best compromise between functionality and openness that’s suitable for daily use, especially GrapheneOS. Hopefully some of the Linux alternatives will develop to that point soon, but by all accounts they’re not there yet. So it’s worth fighting to keep what we have until we can use something more open.
Greetings, fellow Candians!
In my experience many Canadians are pretty loud too. Americans may have the edge though.
And soon, ATAB.
