How internet works nowadays.

Client: "My Internet isn't working!"

Me: "You've got your own one?"

I just want my internet back. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Few months ago, I ate so many MBs (just 300+ GBs) in a month that my ISP blocked my connection and sent a worker to check if i was sharing my internet connection with neighbours etc. { They say UNLIMITED downloads when selling packages }
I was so pissed that after restoration I wrote autorun-on-startup powershell which keeps downloading a 100MB file forever just to eat bandwidth.
This month my downloads crossed a TB.
I feel like I've pissed in ISP's face just to show that if I'm not eating TBs every month, it doesn't mean i can't do it.

Internet Explorer:
You type a local IP without the protocol.
It doesn't add http automatically.
It doesn't add https automatically.
IT TRIES TO SEARCH IT ON BING

I freaking hate IE

Potential Employer: So your website does not seem to work well in Internet Explorer. A lot of employers might get annoyed with it.

Me: Yeah, I don't want them to hire me or even send me a message.

The wonderful modern day internet community (except devRant)

Global internet traffic:

1992: 100 GB/day
Today: 20K GB/second

I miss old internet.
- without politics
- without robots
- without money
- without big portals
- without commercials
- without advertising
- without data centers
- without ipv6
but with great usenet and community

Shit fuck I’m old

The amount of internet that my college's library gives to me.

The awkward moment when your ethernnet cable is the bottleneck in your Internet connection.

Never thought I'd see such speeds in India. Wow moment!

Side note: I was subscribed to a 50mbps plan. Last night my subscriber upgraded their network and just gave me a upgrade FREE of cost.

My internet provider has a "null" add-on package and without selecting it, my internet doesn't work.

These Internet Explorer jokes always make me laugh 😂😂

if I got it right, this is how internet troubleshooting was programmed

My college internet sucks!

It was totally fine upto when they blocked facebook and other social networking sites. 😕

Then they blocked youtube! 🤧 Ok, that was fine too!

But now they've blocked Stack Overflow! WTF!! 😭😭

This is the biggest punishment for any computer engineering student.

And there's no one to complain about it!😡😡 They've also blocked Ubuntu forums and several other helping sites! And they expect us to code without using these helpers. FML

First PRISM, then GDPR and now Article 11/13.

Different laws controlling internet from different regions of the world.

Isn't internet supposed to be a free, open and borderless place?

Are these capitalist fucking up everything, including internet?

When grandma complains about her "shrinking internet".

When your internet speed is quite ok. Downloading android studio is a joke now.

Windows xp + internet explorer = you can do a lot

When the internet breaks down, us web devs don't know what to do. 😂 Yay for early lunch!

Gentlemen, I present to you... The Internet

1998 talk: Copy the Internet

I was surfing the web on my good old windows 98 pc, a younger friend comes to my place and sees me using IE. Sudently he asks:
Friend: What is that program?
Me: It's Internet Explorer.
Fr: - What is it for?
Me: - Well, you can write something here, (url), to go to different sites, search for stuff you like, participate in foruns, etc...
Fr: - Oh yeah, I know what that is, my cousin also has that in his PC, but I don't.
...(Little pause)...
- Can you copy the internet for me? Because I don't have it.
Me: You can't copy the Internet! You need a phone connection.
Fr - But I'll give you a floppy disk, you put that program there, and then I can use it too.
Me - The shortcut won't give you Internet!

I think I ended up copying the shortcut of IE to him, just to prove my point.
The funny thing is that the link really worked because he also had IE in his machine, while not in the workspace, however it was exactly in the same folder location as mine, but obviously he didn't had a wired phone connection.

Fr - "Maybe I need to copy something more! The program opens but it doesn't show anything."

There's a fibre cut in my area and my ISP is fixing it.

I am without internet from past two hours and surviving on mobile data which can end any moment.

I went outside and had to interact with people.

Looking at their dumbness, I feel like a caveman.

Life is hard. The struggle is real.

!rant
A few years back, when my youngest cousin was about 7 years old, she asked me the most innocent question ever.

She said, "what's the internet?"
I answered, "it is where you can find anything that came from other people".

"Wanna see baby tigers?" I added then she nodded.

I Google searched 'tiger cubs' and showed the image results to her. She beamed a very big smile and said "let's look for another one!" So we did search for a few animal photos and I saw how happy she was!

Now she's a gamer who loves minecraft, Pewdiepie, and FPS games! :)

Judging on that sign, I wouldn't trust the internet connection on this cafeteria...Would you??

I can not believe this. We got GIGABIT Internet!!

It feels like a freaking dream.!!!

Every developer dream:
- Cup of coffee
- Laptop
- Fast internet connection.

Really, I am able to not see the light again with this.

Chat with user:
Me: Hi, how can i help you today?
User: IT please come to my place i don't have internet connection and i need to finish my work, please please come quickly
Me: Are you in your computer?
User: Yeah.
Me: Amm, and how are you chatting with me?

We don't support Internet Explorer!

internet explorer

Our dad: we used to walk 10km to goto school
Millennials as dad: we used to use 10kbps internet

If Internet Explorer is brave enough to ask you to make it your default browser, you're brave enough to ask that girl out.

The Internet is kind of slow today.
I'll just reboot real quick.

Recently we changed to another provider and now we have much faster internet speed than before. But my father was scared that it was too fast and movies streamed over Netflix would now run in timelapse.

After 4 months I've just realised that my internet is not running higher than 100mpbs because I bought a 100mbps Ethernet switch. -facepalm-

!rant but True story!

OMG, my coworker (rather elderly if it matters), asked if he needs to open webapp in internet exploder.. < - It was intentional, but this happened in convo over morning coffe and me and some other guy almost choked with laugher & coffee..

Fucking brilliant! IE = Internet EXPLODEr! Love it!

Man, I love my coworkers (some)!!!!

DevRant was just loading very slow because of bad mobile internet. I told my mum that this could be loading faster, because it's mainly text (= no large videos) that needs to be transferred. My mum answered:

"Your smartphone doesn't know that tho".

Looooong silence. Very looooong silence.

Client: My email not working
Me: What error message you getting
Client: Nothing, it's just stuck on Outbook
Me: Is your Internet working?
Client: Yes, of cause am not that stupid
Me: No! No! just asking as checkup
Client: Okay
Me: Open your Internet Browser and goto Google or Facebook
Client: Okay hold on..I am getting message "There is no Internet Connection"
Me: Yea, your Internet is not working that's why email can't be send. Talk to your IT Guy or Internet Provider about it.
Client: Okay, thanks!

That moment when installing arch...need wifi drivers to access internet and need internet to install wifi drivers 😢

Internet explorer should be banned globally.

I fucking hate Internet of Things, I think that it's a ridiculous idea to connect things, that work perfectly fine, to the internet.
The 'convenience' you get is minimalistic and most of the time non existent.
It is also often insanely insecure and expensive. The burdans it brings with it most of the time just outweigh the positive sides of it.

Now today happened something that made me hate it even more. Today was the First Lego Lego (Lego competition with ev3 robots, etc.) and one part of the tournament is to find a solution for a given problem. This year the general topic was hydro-dynamics and so the problem was how you can reduce water usage and 'save' water.

Our idea was to make reusable coffee cups and give them to the local coffee shops. One time use paper cups use take around 400ml water when produced) Basically you buy a cup once for 5 bucks and you get your coffee served in it. After drinking the coffee you return the cup to a local cafe and get a chip as pawn. When you buy your next coffee, you give them your chip and get it served in another reusable cup. The are at the moment already around 1000 cups going around the city.

Now this was our idea and we got ranked third. I am not too mad about our rank but what really drives me fucking mad is the team who ranked first.

Their idea was to make a pump (using an arduino) and a humidity sensor which you stick into a plant and the pump pumps water when the plant is too dry.
However (you probably guessed it already) they went a step further and connected it to the internet. They also made a web 'interface' for it so you can control the pump with your smartphone / computer / smartwatch / tv / whatever the fuck is connected to the internet nowadays 'thanks' to the iot 'revolution'.

So it is a pump that waters your plant when it is too dry BUT it is also connected to the internet.

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.

"Oh look it is connected to the internet, wow awesome, oh it is also 'smart'. oh cooool. Nice I don't have to water my plants anymore"

A funny thing is that one of my friends built basically the same thing without connecting it to the internet. He built a small box with a pump and a humidity sensor that measures if the dirt is too dry and then waters the plant. It checks every few hours and the also is a small 16x2 LCD and a knob that you can turn to control how much water it should give the plant each time it waters it. He built it and I programmed it for him. Works perfectly fine and I don't see any reason why there should be any need to connect something like this to the internet.

Anyway we got ranked third, they first. I guess we should connect our coffee cups to the internet in some way ...

Moved to a new house, no internet access till end of this month :O

New flat. Still no internet.

Time to do some reading

You don't know how much you need it until is gone.... 5 days whitout internet :(

Finally Internet Explorer understood why we needed it😂😂!!

Guys, Guys, Guys!
I've just won employee of the month! And you know what is even better? The elders of the internet allowed to lend the internet to me to use it in my speech! I couldn't be happier (they even know who I am!)

My internet is so slow, it's just faster to drive to the Google headquarters and ask them shit in person.

The best thing about doing backend Javascript development is that Internet Explorer can't screw you over

Internet Explorer vs Girlfriend

FKING. LANDLORD. FKING LANDLORD THINKS MY LAN CABLE SLOWS THE FKING INTERNET BACK TO THE 1990s.

- Prologue
I'm renting at a place that looks good af. But the fking wifi is so slow, 80% of the time you can't even send an empty http request.

- Chapter 1
Okay, maybe it's my laptop. *plugs in cable*. Now the requests fail 10% of the time. Better than nothing. 2 hours later, gets a text saying other housemates are having slow internet because of me. FUCK. Unplugs, LAN cable, uses mobile data and cries to sleep.

- Chapter 2
Tries again after a few days. Barely uses the internet (I'm only using it to play games, not even download it and I used more than this with a 2mbps internet). No videos, no music, just small data exchange with a low ping. GETS A FKING TEXT AGAIN

- CHAPTER 3
My sis comes over and complains that the net is slow af. Plugs in LAN cable while no one is around, everything is fine. Sis leaves, I roll up my end of the LAN cable in my room but leave the cable plugged in on the outside of the room. Next morning, it's unplugged. Plugged it back in before I go to work and when I come back, guess what? ITS FKING UNPLUGGED. AGAIN. AND IM NOT EVEN USING IT.

SOMEONE PLEASE STOP ME FROM GOING ON A RAMPAGE SHOVING THE FKING CABLE AND THE ROUTER UP PEOPLE'S ASSES. LAN FUCKING CABLES DONT SLOW THE INTERNET BACK TO THE PREVIOUS CENTURY. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE NOT EVEN PLUGGED IN ON THE OTHER SIDE. FUCK.

I know Australia has shit internet, but seriously?

I have a theory, it's that the internet is split into a couple of "worlds":
1) Shitnet, designed for FUCKING MORONS WHO CAN BARELY BREATH!
2) Porn, Porn, Porn. This is obvious.
3) Mother Russia, extremely helpful Russian websites. Full of piracy and obscure software.
4) And then there is the smallest one, the one I and we devs like the most, the good tech sites. Not tech news, but useful websites about HW/SW.

Do you agree, do you have any other categories to add?

WHY THE FUCK IS THE 4th CATEGORY SO FUCKING SMALL, IF WE AS DEVS MAKE EVRYTHING ON THE INTERNET?.

When you have to open a browser and accidentally click on Internet Explorer

The biggest coding distraction is sitting in front of a computer with internet access, let's be honest here.

So our company's internet was down. Network admin was really pissed as there is suppose to be a notification from the ISP about down time. Network admin called the ISP customer services to inquire about the problem and they said "Sir, we wanted to email you but our network was down too."
Admin turned from being really angry to laughing out loud real quick...

I was shocked the other day when I found out that.....

My mother uses internet explorer 😧

"Maybe the internet has an error”

Quote from my GF after booking tickets online failed, and on some level I feel like this is a very profound, relevant statement..

Friday night, just got home around 11pm and there's no Internet.

Happy weekend EVERYONE ELSE

My dog is like internet explorer...
He never responds to my commands

For fucks sack I just created my server and fail2ban already blocked 6 IP addresses dafuq is going on on the internet 😓

That moment when you have a much faster connection on your cell than on your home internet!

The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

I've been tasked to do website debugging.
For Internet Explorer 11.
On a Mac.
I have to use a virtual machine to get Windows on a mac just so I can test on internet explorer.
This mac is not fast.
This virtual machine is even less fast.
The internet explorer on this virtual machine on this mac is the least fast.
Even worse, this website is a pile of garbage. It's slower than my grandma.
My grandma is dead.
You can't get any slower than that, so I thought.
But then I got introduced to the result of making a wordpress site with over 300 pieces of media and 20 plugins.
If you are one of the people that's smart enough to stay away from wordpress: I assure you that it fucks your site up beyond repair.
So anyway, how was your day?

How to hide your important files from people without making Hidden folders
1. Go to Desktop and create a new folder
2. Name the folder Internet Explorer
3. Change the folder icon to Internet Explorer.
4.Done

I love when the internet cuts off in the middle of a 50GB upload that was 90% done.. 😥

Internet Explorer is a bully

What do Developers at Office do when the internet is down ?
(at mine, we play the dinosaurs game and compete for the highest score.)

256 kbps internet from Iran Telecommiunication Center ISP
i download 50mb archive in 30 minutes
should i suicide ???

function checkBrowser() {
if(browser == "Internet Explorer") {
print("I'm sorry, you have reached the 404 error page. Please use a different browser. Have a nice day.");
}
else {
print("Thank you for not using Internet Explorer");
}
}

Internet of everything

Trick to get answer on the internet...

I got transferred to a new city at the client location for few months.
I got the credentials for internet access, but I was not able to get internet. I contacted the admin and after troubleshooting it for few minutes, he asked where is Internet Explorer in this laptop?

I immediately understood, why they need me here. I was using a MacBook. 😐

PS: In the end, he gave me the full access without any credential requirements.

When you're trying to read a rant but your wifi is slow so you become frustrated and want to rant but you can't post the rant because of the god damn internet...

How trees access the internet? They Log on.

This is the ping on my current "internet connection" in school.

FUCK GERMANY!

(No screenshot, because I have to post this from mobile data on my phone for obvious reasons)

Politician: "The internet is a series of tubes"
SysAd: "The internet is a series of '|'s"

My parents turn off their router every night calling it "turning off the internet".

I bought an internet radio from pioneer...
Unfortunately, the remote control has a small delay. So I thought, maybe there's an app to control the radio. But after downloading the app could not connect. During a network scan several services appeared. You are able to update the firmware via an unprotected web interface which makes me sad. But that's not the best thing yet. You can also connect to the device via the telnet port. Guess which user you are...

The dinosaur I'm afraid of.
No fucking internet

When your app run smoothly, but your boss dislike it because "loading media content is too slow".
Then you explain him that those content are downloaded, so having a slow connection means that content will load slowly.
"So? Make internet faster, you're the dev"

When your internet speed is fast as lightning bolt 😟😟😟

That awesome moment when you're hailed as God Of Internet, and all you've done is just restart the router :D

I added under my LinkedIn description a P.S. (post scriptum)
Don't contact me if your main browser is Internet Explorer.

I unpinned the Internet Explorer icon from the taskbar of my girlfriend's computer and told her the Internet Explorer is crap. Then she answered: "Hey, I usually use Firefox. I use Internet Explorer only when I have to open attachments from emails.". I was like: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

Please send help.

My ADSL has been cut off and I am stuck without the internet until Friday, where I will be connected to the NBN(National Broadband Network<fibre>)

To make it worse, previous to my internet being cutoff(without knowledge) I resetted my PC, loseing all IDE. Therefore I can't even work on projects ;(((

I have 500MB of phone data for 2 days. I'm going to have to ration it out to survive. The world is grim and dark. On a side note I do get 10GB of Netflix only data from my carrier, so that's a positive.

For those interested in my new Internet, I was previously getting 12D1U Mbps (Download, upload) with the new roll out of fibre, well kind of. The government cheaped out and did FTTN(Fibre to the Node, like a mini exchange and using VDSL) relying on crappy copper instead of FTTP(Fibre to the premises) basically all fibre. The max theoretical speed is 100D40U, however I am 550 metres of the node and I've guestimated 70D30U but of course I'll have to pay the full price of the connection even though I will most likely get fucked in the end.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blob of random text.

What would you be willing to sacrifice for 1 tbps internet speeds?

Mine is my left leg. I'll get a prosthetic or wheel chair. Not like I'd be doing much walking with those speeds keeping me distracted lol.

Internet of things they say...

My mobile internet is faster than internet at my home...

I binge watch Silicon Valley whenever I want some inspiration. This is what i observed today! FML INTERNET EXPLORER!

Upgraded internet today. Can’t have more with my isp technology.

That fucking ironic time when all you need to make money is Internet connection but you have no money at all to pay for it.

INTERNET EXPLODER AND M$ OS 7 WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU LITTLE PIECE OF CTHULHU SHIT

I bet Internet Explorer won't die until at least another decade from now

Windows: No internet connection.

Me: Runs troubleshooter.

Windows: Problem found and resolved: Default Gateway Server is not available

Me: Wait.. since when can windows fix user input?!

Windows: Still no internet connection

Forgot to push to stable branch before I left from work. Nightly build takes 5 hours so I needed to do that in order to get nightly in the morning. As I'm moving I have only cellphone with 16k internet at home. Sounded like I'm screwed. But luckily fetching few new commits and pushing them back to correct branch git managed even over this parody of internet connection. Love git, I'm saved. Whole repo has few hundred megs, if I had to download everything it would be faster to wait to get real internet connection in few days.

When your internet at home is literally 20x faster than the one at the office.

My life without Internet and a gun (to kill my ISP).😣😣😣😣

TL,DR;
Did I mentioned that I hate 1&1?

I host my website there, a small-not-much-visited one. And it works great. But I also have internet connection at home - with 1&1. And it freaking sucks, it always did but that's partly cause of our unlucky position in the country. But why the flying fuck would it completely break sometimes in the meantime the last 20 days. There's a map in the internet showing places where popele have trouble with 1&1. The last two or three weeks germany completely red! Just sometimes out of nowhere the upload is practically zero. And then again, after a hour or a few restarts, it works again. A bit. WHAT THE FUCK MARCEL D'VIS? What did I do to you?!

Love my internet...

When your school/workplace has got internet:
Lan: 100mb/sec
Wlan: 25 kb/sec

I present you: the internet connection in a german village!

I dont get it why big it companys in germany still use fucking Internet Explorer and then complain about errors that are not even produced by our application. What the actuall fuck just stop using ie

Sjdbdisesssjshsvhsfiforhjaowjdbsidkdjjwjwhwjdidjdhd FUCK YOU INTERNET EXPLORER!

*Goes to record a video and upload a demo video*

Hmmmm.. internet is being slow... Let's do a speed test

*Realises our speeds have been caped out to a max of 256kbps*

Why... Why... Yes I understand it should be limited so it's not 'data for free' but at least give us 1mbps so things are actually doable but limited rather than just usable as long as all you want to do is Google something slowly -,-

Someone I know quite well just told me that they have a hard drive with a S.M.A.R.T warning and "the internet says" that he can fix the problem by running this amazing built in windows tool called "chkdsk" (he literally learned about this today, as a long-term windows user) or by reformatting the drive.
I've told him that neither of those methods will work, since it is a hardware fault that is being reported by S.M.A.R.T.
He said that there is hope that it'll work, since someone on the internet said so.

ಠ_ಠ

Started with 20kbps internet and now I'm enjoying 200+mbps speed.
Life changes so does technology.

After long time logged into windows desktop and dared to open internet explorer then I seen option

"What's New in Internet Explorer 8"

So I thought let's see what's new in IE8

When I clicked on that option, suddenly my CPU fan stopped working.

There was no connection between them,
But what a coincidence!

F***U IE:D

😂 I need me some of that fibreglass internet.
Definitely the best argument against fttn so far.

Yesterday at work the internet went out. Our director of IT stopped by our cubes and the conversation that followed went like this:

Director: "Is the internet out for you guys?"
Us: "Yeah"
Director: "But you can still check your emails right?"
Us: ".... No?"
Director: "But the phones are working!"

*Director walks away to talk with our networking group*

Storm: No internet for you!
Me: *switches to 4G cellular data which seems to be mostly unaffected* Take that weather!
Storm: *all hell breaks loose outside*
Me: mkay... Going to bed anyway...

Our internet was broken for the last couple of days.
I had almost forgotten how it was to spend time with the family...

I am so glad our internet is working again...

RIP Dr. Larry Roberts, who helped found ARPAnet and the internet. Your legacy will live on well into the future.

My internet is down.
For me, no internet is like no electricity.

Imagine the day when Internet Explore is not longer supported. How would you celebrate?

Yesterday I talked to my client for 1 hour about a problem she has on my website. When she does something on the administrative website, internet explorer stops working.

Then I told her: "try Google Chrome or Firefox" and I explain why Chrome or Firefox should work. Today, she tells me that it does not work yet and sends me a picture of her screen with the problem (not a print screen, a cell phone photo, with the sun on the screen so I do not see the screen). It was the same problem as the other days. But she was on ... wait for it ... Edge (yes, she's on w10 and she uses Internet Explorer).

So I reply "try Chrome or Firefox.".
I said nothing else and she just thanks me for the help.

It's kinda funny how when Amazon S3 is having an issue the internet is virtually unusable.

Managing a VPS while having an internet connection that makes everything I type appear in the terminal around half a minute later... I need a f*cking stress ball

Am I the only one who couldn't care less how my website looks on Internet Explorer? If you visit my website, you'd better damn well not be using Internet Explorer.

How's your internet connection?
I've got home and my net broke any possible speed records.
(NAJWIĘCEJ - top speed)

When Internet Explorer is brave enough to ask to be your standart browser you should be brave enough to ask your girl out!

Just me today:
> Comes back home from uni after half a year
> Notices new fiber internet connection
> Connects and does a speed test
> Finds discrepancy, spends two hours configuring routers
> Runs speed test again, satisfied
> Puts bags down and begins unpacking

priority(Internet) > priority (almost_everything_else) 😤

ISP just upgraded my internet connection speed from 16k to 50k and unlimited download capacity - for free and I didn't even request it. Wonders still happen!

Why does this even exist??😢
Translation:
Knowing the road on the Internet with Internet Explorer 9.

Today I got called by a someone saying something about my internet but I couldn't actually hear him against the background noise...

I think he mentioned something about having downloaded my internet onto their servers...?

VMs.....You always have to install Google chrome... Can't OSs just include it in the installation? No Microsoft is forcing you to use Edge and Internet Explorer

I pray to the Elders of the Internet every night, before I go to sleep.

My internet went out the other day and I genuinely didn't know what to do with myself! Pacing around my apartment until it came back 2 hours later.
I think I need to get out more or at least get some friends but, you know... people.

the internet programer ....!!!

devRant: because Twitter couldn't stand any more people complaining about Internet Explorer.

Has anyone else thought, when the internet is down, that theoretically, the entire world's internet could be down, and you would never even know?

Firefox vs Chrome vs Internet Explorer..

Friends Don't Let Friends Use Internet Explorer!

Shit, no internet in office for more than 4 hours. BTW I'm chilling..🙃
What you would do with out internet in your office

My internet speed in Iran. How fast is your internet connection?

Internet mother of all programmers..

Which is worst, no internet or really slow internet?

Okay,so just trying my first rant.
Anyone heard about Internet of Things?
Mind getting in touch and sharing your views?😬

(On the phone)
Internet Provider Support: "Hello, how can I help you?"
Me: "Hi, I've been unable to connect to internet for the past few hours and-
IPS: "Haven't you heard the pre-recorded message?!"
Me: "Uh... No? I'm sorry, but no message was played before you answered."
ISP: "Well, internet services are experiencing technical issues in your whole area. We'll contact you soon as it's resolved." *Hangs up*

...The company then proceeded to state that everything was fine, after a few hours. On their website. Without specifying how to manually restore the connection at all, since apparently this was needed.

...Great job?
This looks kinda dumb to me but... Is it just me?

Which IP/URL do you guys ping when checking if internet is working?
I always ping: google.com

When you want to do a few test deploys (project going into alpha today) and your Internet is too slow to even login to the server 😭

Christmas Party (2016) SPOILER ALERT

you've been warned

mental discussion I had yesterday after watching Christmas Party:

Hacker me: "I wonder if is really this easy take down the internet connection of an entire city........... maybe I'll google it around and see"

Normal Person me: "Let me get this straight you're thinking to google 'how to take down city internet'? ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT???? DO YOU REALIZE IN WHICH KIND OF WORLD WE LIVE NOW? DO YOU REALLY WANT THE SECRET SERVICE OF 5 DIFFERENT COUNTRY TO KICK DOWN YOUR DOOR AT 5 IN THE MORNING???????"

Dear internet providers,

Please make sure that everyone can setup routers so I don't have to stand in tons of rain waiting on somebody to open me his door because I have to stick the ******** LAN cable in the wall, which he really can't do him self....

Thank you.

Whenever I get dissapointment about my life,I remember the guy who using Internet Explorer to download Firefox or Chrome!

Debugging javascript in Internet Explorer feels like doing brain surgery with a paving slab, there just isn't any finese

Hate it when something gets depcrecated and there's no sign of an alternative on the internet

*Explaining over the phone how to connect an iPad to the internet
Me: "Select the wifi network and put the password in"
Them: "It says here something about the IP Address - is that the postcode?"

😩

The client asked me today to include Internet Explorer to the compatibility list. After 5 minutes of continuous refreshing, Internet Explorer finally shows me in developer tools that it does not support Promises and Object.assign().

At that moment, my Promise to the client also failed.

My fucking internet went off and was so slow that even ssh resetted me, fucking thanks. And it was the same typical pattern again: turn off, turn on, kbps speed, wait ~30/50 minutes and then again fullspeed, fucking cuntbags stop fucking fingerbanging the ethernet ports - I need to get shit done.

Internet explorer, the plague of internet browsers...

Managed to succesfully tweak bootstrap 3 into using flex-box like attributes. Works perfectly... Aaaaand then there's Internet explorer...

What will you do when you are at home and Internet is not working?

Yesterday I moved and today was the day where I got my Internet connection installed. Too bad that I can't get 100% of my available network speed on my phone

When ISP finishes Internet installation like that.

Me: What browser do you use?
Them: I use the Internet explorer on the iPhone.

Here in Switzerland 🇨🇭, i have a 100/20mbps internet over cable for 120$ per month, with a fixed ip.
What about you? I’m interested about the price around the world.

Dear internet explorer...
Go fuck yourself

So couple of days ago a competitor ISP rep. came to our door, describing that people in the neighbourhood reported outtages to them from the competitor (thats already questionable, why would somebody report that to another ISP, instead of the actual ISP? like we always do) and they said they did their magical lines or whatever and that the old line we use is faulty etc. - the internet was actually stable for a good while now finally, now today it cut off, I suspect they want to force contract changes by "accidentally" fucking with the shit somewhere for sure, fucking shit gargling goblins, I was a client of that competitor ISP for a good portion of my life and each time I moved they left me without internet for atleast 5 months and that only because I threatened action, their general service also isn't more stable, literally fucking throwing a paperplane with my packets is more reliable than their bullshit alternative, their offer also would cut 90% of options I have with the current one, leaving me without telephone, tv, mobile and more - since all that would have to be contracted seperately, ending in roughly 450% actual raise per month, I fucking hate ISPs.

What is Internet Explorer?

It is a tool to download a better browser.

I'm good at like the internet and mouse clicking and stuff 💻⌨️🖥🖱🖱🖱

My current internet provider....

WHY THE FUCK IS MY WIRED INTERNET CONNECTION SLOWER THAN MY PHONE ON WIRELESS! WHAT KIND OF FUCKING BULLSHIT IS THIS US ISPs I PAY YOU A SHIT TON OF MONEY SO YOU CAN INVEST IN INFUSTRUCTURE AND FUCKING GET ME GOOD SPEEDS! NOT FUCKING BLOW IT ALL ON YOUR EXECUTIVE BONUSES!

Map of the Internet according to xkdc.

So I recently moved into an student house. Its really awesome but the only thing thats frustrating as fuck is the internet. Its like 50 - 200 kbs. I litterally type in slow motion over ssh. It stops working every few days and the dhcp range is to small :(. Not like my landlord can't afford better internet. There are like 50 people in this building and I think we have the basic abbonement.

Luckily I get my own internet next thuesday. I can't wait.

When you find a bug that affects all browsers EXCEPT Internet Explorer... How...?

when there is no internet ...

I started a short term contract job that requires access to company online resources. Only problem is the office I'm working in has really bad internet. The connection speed at best is comparable to dial up and at worse just non-existent. I tried tethering to my phone but this wasn't working either due to low signal. I mention this as an issue early on the week to the boss. Later in the week the boss asks how things are going at the same time that the network is down. I tell him the same problem. He then tells me his computer is fast and he has internet, so I show him the 2 computers I have access to and how they are too slow/no internet. He then tells me a bad workman blames his tools and he's not happy with me for having problems.

Don't even know what to say to that. I just told him this role wasn't working for me and clocked out.

'Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet 25 years ago today.' If I hear that BS one more time..... #ffs

There was a time when MacOS came pre-installed with the Internet Explorer... Respect IE!

TFW Internet speed is so slow & you have to download ton of packages

the internet is only good enough for devRant and I have no games on my phone. After a time there aren't rants to read anymore. 😂

My friend keeps claiming Internet Explorer is better than everything else until I told him that Microsoft doesn't update it much anymore...

Copy and pasting from internet.

Without fully understanding the code.

The moment I need internet to do things (npm with angular), but the company moved to a new building and internet is screwed. It'll still take a while to set up. So now I'm sitting here, ranting on devrant and doing nothing.

My exact face and thoughts right now:

When the internet is so slow speedtest.net won't even run to rant about how slow it is....

It is map of various devices connected over public IP to internet. Any interesting insights or comments that you can infer from this map?

Sometimes, people you work for are just dump.
Someone ask me this:

"Can you help me find the 'e from the internet'?"

And by "e from the internet", she means internet explorer...

The problem was, she right click it and unpinned it from the taskbar...

Ps: it's the same person who maked me do my first Rant.

God, my school's internet sucks ass...

sister comes in my room saying: "hey i cant get on my facebook wall. can you like restart the internet?"

92% download..
internet goes down
restart it!!
fuck my life

I don't understand why (or even how) I'm expected to be productive without a stable internet connection.
My computer doesn't have WiFi capabilities and the ethernet connection sucks too.
So, here I am passing time while waiting for Gitlab to load...

using ssh over terrible internet speeds, spends all the time trying to figure out the cursor position
