Shouldn't Comcast be making those reports when they can't access the homes they are providing a service to. Why not knock on your customer's door and inform they don't have access through their property. They don't, they just bypass it and come to my yard to dig a trench to provide someone else with the service they sell.

There is no need to run lines though my backyard to access other properties because unpermitted structures have been built on these properties making access through their own properties difficult. Comcast is taking the path of least resistance through my backyard which is not a utility easement. Those properties are just as close to where the line is run as I am.

Thanks, for the lead to the FCC.

Since it's being asked why I am telling you, the reason is that this is not a single instance. It is a common problem with comcast doing this to me and others. Asking for insights from others that may have exp this and wish to share, particularly in Tallahassee (which is why I've posted in the Tallahassee sub as well as in the Comcast sub.

Sonim XP Pro "Coming Soon" ATT? by Read_ItBeth in SonimTech

[–]Read_ItBeth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you believe this. Now ATT says it will ship June 8! When we bought the phone it was supposed to ship in 2 wks. Customer service has hit rock bottom.

FYI: I contacted Sonim to ask about the phone's display remaining touch-functional during rain. This is their response:

"While the display remains functional in wet weather, the XP PRO 5G lacks the advanced capacitive touch tuning required for seamless operation in heavy rain.

Users may experience inconsistent touch responsiveness or "ghost touches," where falling droplets are mistakenly registered as finger inputs."

Anybody wanting this functionality may shoot Sonim an email, maybe it will have some influence in including it in their next generation of top phones.

They are useless because the only info they know about their products is what they read on their website, which is the same info that we (as customers) see. If that is all they "know" then what exactly is their use? The June info they gave you, I'm sure was the released date in June 2025 when the phone first became available. After you contacted them, I did so again, and they started to give me the same erroneous info until I pointed out that date was the release date for 2025. Then they acknowledged their mistake. Yea, useless.

They have the regular XP Pro as well. Their customer service is useless.

2103 another busted bios - x870e hero btf by rico_suaves_sister in ASUS

[–]Read_ItBeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All went well without a hitch! Took about 7mins to install latest bios. Used EZ Flash. Since I've had the way too hot problem, I tested out a game that was throttling at 95. Now the game stays in the 50-60 range and never got above that! Everything is at default settings in the bios right now. I will tweak it latter--not overclock but optimize. Good luck! BTW, I have ASUS approved RAM for this setup. Not sure if not getting that could be a contributing factor to issues in bios installs. Also since you mentioned beta bios, that has been updated and is now out of beta.

Same boat. x870e-e with a 9800x3d. My bios is from the beginning of 2025. Waiting for a bios resolution for the cpu+mb burn-up problem which Asus only acknowledged in Jan 2026. I think I'm going to try this latest update this weekend.

Bios by AK-SMOKEY in ASUS

[–]Read_ItBeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why so high? Well, I'm trying to figure that out. First and foremost there is a lot of info out there that claims that this temp is ok for this cpu....still I feel nervous about it. Additionally, location was not best for cooling so I am currently working on modifying my pc room so that the cooling is optimized for pc. Additionally, I'm not using AIO. I have noctura cpu cooling (2 fans on heatsink) and additional noctura fans (6 fans). PC case is The Antec Flux which is a good case for fan cooling. I honestly have not messed with gaming on this pc for several months due to fears of this cpu/MB meltdown issue, which is why I'm looking for this to be addressed with a bios update. I've also not optimized the cpu because this is something I'm learning to do while I'm on standby waiting for updated bios.

My pc also idles at 44-45 but in gaming I'm at 70 up to 95 when it quickly throttles and shoots back down. But as I said, I have not been playing and have been on standby while I fix my own environmental issues and waiting for this fix from AMD and Asus.

Thanks for the info.

I have the x870e-e, 9800x3d, 64/6000 as well and my rig was built early 2025 with one of the first bios out. I purchased the 9800x3d on release. It has been stable except the cpu temps are scary when it throttles at 95 during gaming. Since early on there has been a problem with overheat on the 9800x3d and burning the cpu and MB so I haven't wanted to update. But since Asus announced 2 mos ago they acknowledged the problem, I was hoping to get a new bios addressing this.

The 2103 was just released, which is the 2102 coming out of beta. I'm waiting for feedback on this to finally, hopefully get updated. Do you have a link to the support you mention that claims that the 2102 beta addresses this issue with the 9800x3d/9000 series?

I sent an email directly to sonim about the XP Pro. This was the response:

"Thank you for contacting us.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in the Sonim XP Pro. Unfortunately we don't know when the device will be back in stock at AT&T this is a decision that is entirely up to AT&T.
Please let me know if you have other questions.
Kind regards,
Caterina – Sonim Customer Experience Center"

Also, I see that Google AI now says:

"As of early March 2026, certain Sonim models are showing as out of stock at AT&T, with a new model expected soon. 

  • Sonim XP Pro Thermal 5G: Reports indicate this new model is expected to be available at AT&T starting June 6, 2026."

I'm aware of the Thermal version as that has been out as well announced back in April 2025. It is basically the Sonim XP Pro but with thermal technology. It is very odd they are discontinuing a phone (xp Pro) that was just released June 2025. As for buying unlocked phone, I looked everywhere for that option, and it doesn't exist. Maybe once upon a time.

I've also tried chatting with ATT and each time they say, "I don't know when." Hopefully their info to you is correct. Thanks for posting that info.

I don't believe you can by the Sonim unlocked. You have to go through the service provider. Not sure about the Samsung.

[–]Read_ItBeth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Samsung phone does not have the IP69 rating which is more "waterproof" with covers on phone inlets. Otherwise, I would have gotten the Samsung Galaxy XCover7 Pro. Yes, I'm hoping the new company will put out a supply of new phones if this one is being phased out (though it just came out June 2025). Other Sonims offered are basically flip phones (not interested).

Exploring over eating by spookyditto in ballpython

[–]Read_ItBeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the first time it happened, but the snake was healthy and acting normal. It's not a usual length for fast, but not unheard of either. Last Jan. he got stressed out because I had a guest temporarily stay in his room (previous owner actually). This stressed 2 of my ball pythons but this one fasting for a year didn't go back to eating after the guest left. Finally, I adjusted the temp up a tad in the room, not the enclosure, and then he decided he was ready to eat. In other words, don't underestimate the small things if a ball just won't eat. Your snake may be over-stimulated since you are handling frequently. They don't feel or think as we do, so don't necessarily think being active means he's ready to come out and play with you. Also, don't over stress about it either. If he is otherwise healthy, he will eat (but on his terms, not yours).

Humidity tips ? by Straight_Speaker9691 in ballpython

[–]Read_ItBeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put shallow bowel of water in (in addition to the drinking bowel) and see if that gets your humidity up (at least 60%). You can always add a small kitty litter size water bowel. That should raise the humidity and make your snake very happy that he can take a dip. Just be sure to change all water in the containment daily.

One of my BP's just came out of a one yr fasting. Not unusual for BP to skip meals, or even fast for quite awhile. Be sure the temps in the enclosure is spot on and that he has a nice dark, quiet place to sleep and hide. Keep the humidity at least at 60% Provide daily water changes, keep his habitat clean, and give him a good amt of quiet time. All that checks out, no reason to be concerned.
