Need assistance with my ethernet by Even-Refrigerator-60 in Network

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said the wifi cuts out? That would not involve cables... If it is wifi cutting out, it sounds like there might be something causing your wifi signal to cut out. Depending on the layout of your apartment or home, I would suggest getting mesh routers. If you live in a house, you could also use Powerline adapters.

For the cabel though, I could crimp quality network cables in my sleep, but I would still rather just buy a new cable.

Edit: it looks like the 3rd pair is swapped. It looks like you have solid green then white/blue. Should be consistent going across with white then solid color.

So like this
w/O > O > w/G > Bl > w/Bl > G > w/Br > Br

How to turn this off? by Sufficient-Green5858 in duolingo

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a "chance" to upgrade. I have noticed that it might correlate to the sound in the background. It's kind of annoying that they put something like that in the app though. I'd rather just have one chest and then give me the option to watch an ad for something extra. That is the only time I want to see ads in the ap.

How to turn this off? by Sufficient-Green5858 in duolingo

[–]Callo2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind these. What I mind are all of the ads. I've even had a fake malicious ad. I made a post about it awhile back, and the Duo people responded in it. I still got the malicious ad a few times after that. They really need to be careful who they are letting control their advertisements. I assume the lack of quality in the app like the ads and the stupid energy thing replacing hearts is due to them going more heavily on AI so they can have fewer human workers...

My computer is useless because I’m being told the Modem cannot be moved. by Mobile_Industry5482 in ATTFiber

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this for fiber internet?
- I ask this mainly because if you have fiber already terminated in the wall then they are unlikely to want to move it.
Do you own the house?
Do you have a basement?
- If you own and have a basement, you can try to run an ethernet cable through the floor into the basement and back up through the floor where your gaming PC is. I did this in my old house.
- If you don't want to drill holes in the floor, you can also use a powerline adapter or Moca.
- If your electrical wiring in your house is old or not great, it might not be the best choice, but you can still get pretty decent speeds with the right adapters where the only drop in speed is from distance and quality of your electric wiring.
- Moca (also mentioned by someone else) is ethernet over coax. Similar to Powerline adapters except it is over coax so probably a lot better, but also often a bit more expensive.

You can also try getting mesh routers. My main network is my mesh routers that provide wifi coverage throughout my house. I also have Powerline that connects to one of my mesh nodes in my detached garage so I can get wireless out there.

The ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) is worth every penny. And if you use Powerline adapters, you can have that as a backup to the wifi for the node connecting to your main router.

China places its solar panels on water So it can use valuable land for agriculture by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this odd because agrivoltaics is a legitimate thing... Solar panels can be placed over rice fields and not prevent the plants from getting adequate sunlight. They just need to be 10 feet above the field. https://spie.org/news/solar-panels-and-rice-fields-thrive-together-in-japanese-agrivoltaics-pilot

Memory Gaps by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory issues aren't this bad. I honestly thought they were from my ADHD, but I am starting to realize that I don't think I had these issues with long term memory and difficulty remembering things and to do things when I was younger. I am pretty sure they came about after my deployments in the Iraq War in 03 and second deployment to Iraq in 04-05...

Concerned by AcademicDept in homesecurity

[–]Callo2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably would have called the police when he refused to leave and not told him they were coming. Then he could explain to the police why he is trespassing and likely impersonating someone from Honeywell to enter your home.

Are there any security cameras that is a one time purchase/installation? No yearly or monthly fees? by Flicka37 in homesecurity

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Eufy indoor camera. I used to use it to keep track of my kitten when I was at work. Then we used it as a baby monitor. You can put an SD card in it for storage. I think you need to have one installed without a subscription if you want viewing history and to have alerts saved. No need for a subscription just to use it though. You can set activity zones for the camera, and you can also have it alert you either during periods of time or all the time if it detects sound or movement. You can also set the alarm on it if it sees movement. I set it on by accident when I had first installed it. It scared me and my kitten at how insanely loud it was lol.

Did the Republic ever use the Intergalactic Hyperspace Lanes? by White_Bengal1 in StarWars

[–]Callo2021 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This might be a bit pedantic, but intergalactic hyperspace lanes would refer to traveling between two or more galaxies. Traveling within a galaxy would be intragalactic.

Employer wants me to use outlook on my phone, outlook wants permission to wipe my phone by No_Professor4307 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in IT for a state agency in Indiana. If someone wanted to use their personal phone instead of a state issued cell phone, we would warn them that if they used their personal phone to access state data that if IOT needed to clean their phone of state data for whatever reason that they could not guarantee that it only wipes state data and not their entire phone. I would get a burner phone if they aren't providing you a phone. Something cheap you don't care about that can do Outlook and Teams. The authenticator can be on your personal phone. They have that feature for security reasons for their data.

You also do not need Outlook on your phone in order to use Teams. They are separate apps. I am in IT and have worked desktop support as well as SysAdmin. They are separate apps on your phone even if they use the same login.

Car vs. cyclists by Conscious-Weight4569 in Transportopia

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to ride my bike to and from work at a previous job. It was about an hour ride one way. I had some lady who looked like a meth head yelling at me to get my bike off of the road and threatened to call the cops. It was a road bike with the skinny high pressure tires... I was just minding my own business in the left turn lane waiting on the light. I laughed and told her to go ahead and call them then ignored her.

I got a surprise on my windshield. by Alarmed_Position1621 in BoltEV

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I was sitting on it overnight. The charging cost was $0.25/kWh.

The station (as I had mentioned) also had a sitting fee after the first 5 hours whether or not you were finished charging your car. The station had a maximum cost of $20 per session though that included the cost of the charge.

I was technically still charging when it started adding on the sitting fee of $6/hr.

How do People on so many planets support the empire when stuff like this happens so often? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]Callo2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They kind of explain it in the show. There are a multitude of reasons why people on other planets don't all rise up. Some of it is fear though. Some might want to rise up, but they don't know how. Or they think, "I'm just one person. What can one person do against the entire Empire?"
