See, if you budget properly then you can afford to live on your own and have two beds!

If your provider has implemented it (Comcast is the only one i know of in north america) then Active Queue Management is a huge quality of life improvement that you won't know you were missing unless you already had a router that implements queue management. https://www.cablelabs.com/blog/how-docsis-3-1-reduces-latency-with-active-queue-management

Narrator: Fortunately, our handsomest politicians came up with a cheap, last-minute way to combat global warming. Ever since 2063 we simply drop a giant ice cube into the ocean every now and then.

Suzie: Just like Daddy puts in his drink every morning. And then he gets mad.

Narrator: Of course, since the greenhouse gases are still building up, it takes more and more ice each time. Thus solving the problem once and for all.

Suzie: But--

Narrator: Once and for all!

I have a 3080 also. It's only just starting to show it's age with some of these new UE5 games. A couple weeks ago discovered dlssg-to-fsr3 and honestly i'll take the little bit of latency for some smoother gameplay

This was my first thought too lmao. "How considerate of them to recreate the experience of not being able to play it smoothly until half a decade after it comes out"

I'm pretty sure it's specifically the battery life of mobile devices that's the issue.

Being that this is a Star Trek post I'll just add this.

Lt. Cmdr. Data: "Sir, our sensors are showing this to be the absence of everything. It is a void without matter or energy of any kind."

Commander Riker: "Yet this hole has a form, Data; it has height, width..."

Lt. Cmdr. Data: "Perhaps. Perhaps not, Sir."

Captain Picard: "That's hardly a scientific observation, Commander."

Lt. Cmdr. Data: "Captain, the most elementary and valuable statement in science, the beginning of wisdom, is, "I do not know". I do not know what that is, Sir."

I wish I had something more to add to this. I saw this when you posted and thought surely someone more creatively minded than I would chime in. Just want to say thanks for taking the time to write this up, it makes you think about how many other one off deux ex machina type races that Star Trek likes to throw out there. The Organians, Talosians, whatever they decided Trelane is, the Douwd, the list goes on and on. It's quite fortunate for the rest of civilization that these omniscient beings seem to stick to themselves.

I was thinking the meters with the metal probes that go through yeah. Wasn't aware that could exacerbate the issue.

aussies are some of the most congenial people ive ever met. their culture (from my brief experience) is very egalitarian. it was such a nice change from all the individualistic crap here in america.
