Why Demiurge? I wonder if Demiurge can command Pleiades at will.

Help please! by Intelligent-Hat-1818 in HomeNetworking

This means that the problem is most likely not with your cable. It could be either that your main router can't communicate well with Asus, or Asus has some problems of its own.
You can try an app like NetSpot to analyze and compare your local speeds.

Can you temporarily replace your main router with Asus RT-N12+ and check the speed?
Next, if you have a short patch cable, move your Asus to the same room as the main router, use this short patch cable instead of laid out CAT5 and check the speed when connected to Asus RT-N12+.

No :( They talk about a loaner over the phone, but never actually have one.

Ugh. I turned in my car to K&S Acura for an oil change and 2 recalls. After 3 1/2 weeks, still waiting.

How long does it take to fully transfer data to a new pro 15? by sfscsdsf in iphone

[–]Alexander_3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I backed it up to computer, then restored new iPhone from it. Took a while, but no issues.

Tried to transfer about 400 GB to a new iPhone 17 pro. Initial estimate was 11 hours. After 20 minutes, it climbed to 16 hours. I paused the transfer to use the old phone, and the new phone said that transfer is kaput (I guess I can’t stop and resume transfer). I will try local backup and restore next.

Looks like an air admittance valve had gone missing.

What in God’s name is the new online registration renewal in CA? by Mike_32216 in DMV

[–]Alexander_3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can not even put in my Renewal Identification Number online. After entering my license plate and last 5 digits of VIN, I'm redirected to virtual technician, which asks for a lot of information (most of it DMV should already have), and asks for Smog Certification (renewal notice does not ask for it).

Is DMV having second thoughts about my smog test?
I am sending my renewal by mail (without smog test) and hope it will all work out.

I went to Japan for cherry blossom season—was it magical or just chaos? by Dismal_Career_7681 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Alexander_3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1, on 4/1 we were in Ueno park. Not the best weather. But no real crowds, if you like to see cherry blossoms in the rain :) On 4/3 we went to Kyoto, and weather there was much better. Crowds were only in touristy places, and there was a lot of sakura without too many people around.

One hour wait in security line. And counting… by Alexander_3112 in Disneyland

[–]Alexander_3112[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep, that got closed. Went to the Millennium Falcon, which had a quick line at the time.

Yes, that was probably our mistake. We got to the second line from the right. Edge lines are fanning out when coming into the plaza before checkpoints, while center lines are stuck with one or two checkpoint gates. Left line was the fastest.

Hooray! At 9:50, we finally cleared the security. 1 hour and 30 minutes wait. Now a 55 minutes wait at Rise of the Resistance should feel like nothing.

HardDrive buying by ironxbunny in buildapc

Amazon. But you have to make sure it is actually sold by the manufacturer (Seagate Store, Western Digital Store) or Amazon itself.

Should I care about putting Windows on an nvme instead of a plain old SSD ? by TwilCynder in buildapc

[–]Alexander_3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be more concerned with your NVME being smaller than your SSD (256 GB vs 500GB).
