That had to be the most annoyingly contrived article I've read in a while. Apple's policies have been problematic for a long time, from usability to openness.

There can definitely be a strong connection between procrastination and anxiety. The following link, which I've posted before, rang so true for me:

Linus Torvalds on aliasing 8 years ago
Eight years, which included serving as a PSG then joining the dark side.
Obviously swearing is a big thing, but not when leading. You'll have exceptions with some of the line units of course, but that's a culture that won't change.
If I saw one of my squad leaders cursing at someone for doing something dumb, then I'd know that supposed leader just failed that Soldier. At ease those emotions, get your point across, and hold them accountable. If you can't do that without throwing a hissy fit, take off those stripes.

When did we start equating swearing with honesty? It would be strange to hear a prosecutor tell a witness, "You're not swearing - I need you to stop lying".
If anything, swearing clouds what you really mean. "Is he saying 'fuck' because he thinks the policy was unfairly applied, or because it was misunderstood? I don't know bro, but at least he's being honest".

I didn't bring the military up to say that it's an authority on proper conduct.
Rather, I'm saying that EVEN in the military, with some of the most insensitive people around, swearing indicates lack of self-control and situational awareness.

The point is that swearing is not equal to honesty. It's just additional emotional metadata.

If only us silly Americans talked so "honestly" with our wives:
"Why did you cook this? Are you fucking stupid?"
I'm in the military, and if you can't control what you say, you shouldn't be respected.

Your README mentioned the following:

Note: These are by far the WORST chipsets on the market, the RX sensitivity makes them almost worless for any kind of application besides cracking WEP passwords.
I have this model. Can you explain a bit more what the issue is with the RX sensitivity. Are there any workarounds?
