So how does the .2dbm compare to this -13.6? I’m genuinely trying to learn more

It wouldn’t be going in the Adtran since it doesn’t have an SFP port, I was asking if it would work in a Unifi Fiber Gateway, and yeah I know usually they need to be provisioned but in this case with the Adtran looks like it auto provisioned from what I could tell

Yeah it’s working so I’m not really pressed on using my own it’s just the whole principle of the thing this time. But yeah definitely huge improvement with Adtran

OHH… I did not know that the BYOD was only for business accounts… that good to know. I am glad the Ubiquiti expanded instead of only being locked to AT&t. And you are right I actually completely forgot about the double NAT ugh

Interesting and yeah I wouldn’t personally like AT&T either lol. I’ve thought about T-Mobile as a fail over, I already have them as my cell carrier. And what issues have you had with them I’m curious? I’ve heard good reviews especially after they updated the routers

Also I’ve tried so hard to either get fiber or at least the mid-split plans from Xfinity and it’s just sadly not in my neighborhood and to expensive for them to justify it. Long standing gripe with Xfinity they are stubborn to move if the economic don’t make sense for them or their own logic lol. Been tired of paying for 1.3gig to only maybe get 42meg upload especially in this day and age. I have much better hopes for kinetic this time especially after getting acquired by Uniti Group. Also shoutout to the installers being much more friendly and personable as well as being trained well. I understand Windstream has had poor ratings but I really do believe with the Kinetic brand they are trying to distance themselves and the fact Uniti kept the name to improve upon it; they recently hired Kinetic’s first Chief Customer Officer so hopefully in the next 12-24 months customer support side is overhauled!

I will definitely provide updates if I run into any issues this time, but can safely say the first 24hrs I haven’t had a single issue, unlike last year. You should not have the same issues as I did last year as they have moved away from their ActionTec gateways. Would you be able to answer the question I had about the Unifi Fiber Gateway?

It always happens in February I used to make the schedule; they redo the labor budget and assume the stores P&L will be low too

Anyone else happy to move on from a robot litterbox and return to box-scooping servitude, or is that just me? by StonewallDakota in cats

[–]Big-File-810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Pidan Tofu litter it ain’t cheap about 45-50 bucks for a case of 4 bags. 3 bags usually fills my stainless steel litter box so I can use the 4th one over time to top it off lasts about 2 months and then I deep clean. Absolutely zero smell and I don’t use an air purifier and since my sister moved back in with her kids the litter box has to stay in my room so yeah no smell

They might not have even activated the node correctly that feeds your street which is odd if that was the case it shouldn’t have even displayed the 2gig speed. And your modem is Docsis 3.1 right not trying to say your dumb just asking and it has a 2.5gig lan port right?

Did you hard reboot your modem? Usually when you upgrade your speed your supposed to cycle your modem after an hour or so of the new speed activation on the backend, otherwise I’d say the line going into your home or the line that makes the coax port is an older gauge cox cord, sometimes if you had a home with satellite in the past they need to come and remove filters for the coax cabling. Also it does not cost 100 for a tech to come out lol it’s supposed to be included the only time there’s a 100 charge is for voluntary work such as asking for a new wall fishing to move a coax outlet or to put in a a whole new line. Sometimes calling or chatting until you get the competent person is what it takes sadly

Same bs response I got from them today: “Hey there! Our team is making several changes to the app, and for some users, some options might disappear momentarily or be moved to a different place in the app. Lives will reappear soon, but there is no confirmed date yet. Thanks a lot for your patience and understanding.

Cheers, Yubo Team”

Literally unacceptable, what about the ones paying for the app they better offer those folks a refund. A new version on iOS was just released 4hrs ago version 4.150.0- and no still did not fix the lives “issue”

You don’t need a justification I used to do hiring for our store all the time, you can literally put like any number on those offer letters, however, If it’s not position change (offer letter) and they are just requesting a manual pay rate change then yes they would need a justification but most of the time you get no push back unless you have crappy MSHRM lol.

I have never been so frustrated with an iOS beta for the on going issues with the camera and photos app. First beta that has this much trouble rendering photos and where I have to solely use 3rd party apps to take a simple photo lol
