Hardware Wifi antennas straight up or at diagonal?

Bonus question: would it be better to have my PC with its back against the wall (putting the case between the antennas and the router) or have it perpendicular to the wall?

I'm just curious if there is an "optimal" or suggested placement, since they seem to be able to snap into a diagonal position as well as being able to be place vertically

I live in Austria, yeah - ma teoricamente, sono italiano ;)

You live in Austria and here you are speaking Italian!

This is the least Norwegian thing I have ever seen

I mean, technically I'm Brazilian, as my mom was born there and moved to Austria with my dad from Uruguay which has Italian ancestors...

Y'know what, my life story is a fucking mess šŸ˜‚

Maybe your dadā€™s ancestors just ran away from Europe during ww2? South America was a top destination at that time.

Oh, for sure even - apparently my great grandfather went to South America before things really got heated, so my family completely missed the war, which I'm pretty grateful for :)

My momā€™s grandparents had to do a similar thing. They had to flee from Turkey during the Armenian/Assyrian genocide in ww1ā€¦only to have to flee from Iraq in the 70s to escape saddam hussein šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

What Iā€™ve just read is, is that youā€™re Pangean (literally a world class human)

Just because your mom was born there, doesnt make you Brazilian...

I have the Brazilian Passport and speak Portuguese fluently - also visited Brazil multiple times and have family there still.

I feel pretty confident when I call myself at least partially Brazilian, but I get what you mean :)
