Now that Flutter is available to Windows, I wonder, how does it compares to .NET?

after I got my new ARRIS (G34) Modem with WIFI router, I configured my WIFI settings by instructions.
now on my laptop using WIFI, I can access some websites such as google.com, but I can not access microsoft.com and codeproject.com.
the good thing is that I have other computers connecting to Modem directly using ethernet cable. they are doing well.
checked on google and did not fix this issue yet.
need some inspiration here.

ping codeproject.com from your bad connection then ping 76.74.234.210 I bet the second one will work. Make sure your new router has a good DNS
Good DNSs are
1.1.1.1 cloudflare
8.8.8.8 google

ping codeproject.com --> timeout
ping 76.74.234.210 ----> timeout
ping google.com --> good response

just restart the whole stack.... check ur laptop internet connection if set to some proxy or some dns do a trace route where do you end up...

it seems like my new installation of Modem completely breaks my LAN settings.
I have my own DNS server for LAN in my home office. now I find my desktop and my laptop are on different rings:
1)desktop IP is: 192.168.0.70
2)laptop IP is: 192.168.1.20
my laptop can not ping my desktop. it was on the same ring 192.168.1.* because I set up that way...

It looks like you have two DHCP servers in your network, which is (usually) a bad idea.
The laptop talks to the modem, and gets its IP address from there. Other hardware sees the other DHCP server, and gets its address from there.
Disable all DHCP servers but one, and things should start working. I would recommend keeping the modem's DHCP server, because all hosts can see it. Note that you may need to enter the following commands (under Windows):
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Don't forget to configure the remaining DHCP server so that is points to the correct DNS server IP!

What is your modem's internal IP? If you only have one router, all devices on your local network have to be on the same sub-net (192.168.1.xxx).
Make sure your cable company allows you to set your own DNS server IPs. I know that with my old modem, the DNS entries were locked in and couldn't be changed. That forced me to change the DNS for every device to use my Pi-Holes (what a pain in the ass). The only way to allow me to set the DNS was to get a modem-only modem and a separate router.
You may also want to see if you have multiple DHCP servers on your network. Pi-Hole allows you to configure it to be a DHCP server. make sure that option is turned off if you're running Pi-Hole for DNS.

I have worked in Government. Private Sector Very Large Company, Private Sector semi-startup, Private sector Family Owned business and Education.
I know there are others that I am not identifying.
And yes mostly you work for your direct boss and that makes all the difference.
I prefer so far the Privately owned family. They are really good people though and not out for the money so much as putting out a good/great product.
The Education sector was my second favorite.
The worst by far was the semi startup.

I've worked on most of those, but definitely my preference is "for myself".

Yes same as OG I've been self employed for over forty years - I recognized early on in the piece that with my attitude I was completely unemployable

I learned the same lesson as well ... I'm unemployable in the job market.
I worked for Xerox for 8 years, then realized all I was doing was extending the death of the company and fattening up their pension portfolio so everyone that I worked for can retire. I left and became self employed.

Seconded. I am building a project in my spare time that I hope will some day be my real job. I am a control freak and tired of tweaking piddly ui things because the client can't make up their minds on what they want.

Anything private sector, then maybe education, and never government.
A major advantage of a large company is the possibility of an intra-company transfer to a job with more appeal. I was at a large company for many years and worked in five different groups at three different locations, with all relocation expenses paid for two long-distance moves.
The advantages of a smaller company are less bureaucracy (e.g., in software process) and more opportunity to make a difference (and be rewarded for it), because your role isn't as narrowly defined.

I have universally despised working for large organizations. There is always that one manager that blocks all crap and just becomes a redtape nazi. Cannot stand them.
Yes they say there are opportunities but only if you jump thru the right hoops and kiss the right butt.
ymmv. Just my personal observations.

A large company where one manager can impede progress and where toadyism is expected has a serious culture problem that probably starts with the CEO. That wasn't my experience, but had it been, I would have looked externally. What you're describing is far more likely in the education, or especially government, sector.

Something in between.
The money is better in a big company, but there's more BS to deal with. The best thing is that there will likely be a variety of things to work on over a longer period.
A small company will likely have a smaller budget. And they may have only one task to work on and then say goodbye once it's "finished".

interesting. currently company is what I would call smaller(not really) but privately held. The money is decent and the breadth of things I get to do is astounding.
I might have just hit Goldilocks though.

Is software ever finished?

I've worked in a lot of different types of places as well, both as an employee and a contractor.
Lots of factors for what makes a good workplace. What I try to avoid are government agencies with unionized staff. I find that the places tend to accrue IT workers that work their until they max out their benefits/pension, and pretty much just go through the motions after that. They still work, but make no effort to learn new techniques, or improve the codebase, or much else. The best one can hope for is that they retire soon....

I have seen that in the Education organization I worked for. But I also so quite a few people willing to put in the extra effort. The people there really believed they were helping kids become good human beings so that made it a great place to work.
