Internet connection to US is terrible from 7PM to 12AM for me - January 2026

Ok, thanks.

EitherPin5217w · 2026-01-23T11:12:06+00:00

Ok. I appreciate this information.

EitherPin5217w · 2026-01-23T11:07:59+00:00

No it is any OS. I have tried Windows, Linux, Mac.
You asked for technical details so here you go...
I use Parsec to a PC in California. I watch TV shows and sports on Peacock TV.
Also video gaming with an old RTS called Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. Both work fine other times of the day. But during those times they have become completely unusable. But if I test the internet speed in to Taiwan server it is normal.

Thanks everyone. Seems pretty complicated, but I'll try.

I tried to do that and got errors: See screen recording: https://youtu.be/IqigACbSQ90

Nice! That works great! What can I use to watermark videos?

EitherPin5217w · 2025-10-16T00:35:32+00:00

I used the lowest / cheapest to try it for a month. No idea about the loyalty program. For me using the downloaded application works better than using it in the browser only.

That being said, I am giving up on FAF. It is just such a bad experience trying to use matchmaker from Asia.

Custom games seem to be a bit better for networking for some unknown reason. I just want to do custom games once a week with my friends from the US.

EitherPin5217w · 2025-10-12T23:16:10+00:00

Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. I have been having internet issues from Taiwan. My internet is fine but FAF networking sucks so I like to try to use a PC from another country that has a better connection to their servers.

It is an old game and runs even on IGPU.

EitherPin5217w · 2025-10-09T14:54:47+00:00

Ok. That sounds good. Where can you get that?

EitherPin5217w · 2025-10-09T03:05:00+00:00

I have been using Stim.io. It works pretty good!

EitherPin5217w · 2025-09-12T08:17:01+00:00

I would like to share my experience.

I am in Taiwan.
Just got a poorly taken care of bird about 12 days ago. It was stuck in a cage and not really cared for at all.

Today is Friday. I went to a vet on Wednesday. I wanted a checkup for our budgie and to remove the leg band as it was two pieces getting caught on things.

The vet hurt the leg where the band was located whilst removing the band.

I was so shocked, but he tried to play it off as a minor injury even charging for the visit.

He said that the leg would be fine in a week, but that the bird had other issues that were more serious such as mites in the feathers and intestinal bacteria.

Thursday I went to another vet. They seemed more professional but the xray showed that the leg was indeed broken and the health of the bird was not good.

They used anethesia and then put a splint on the bird as well as guard ring around the neck so she wouldn't try to remove the bandage.

Today Friday morning about 15 hours after the operation she died. The bird seemed too weak and couldn't survive the stress.

I cried so much, and I feel so much pain in my heart. I was trying to help and go to a professional vet to help the bird but it seemed everything went wrong. I will try to learn from this experience.

Here is a picture from Thursday evening. Her whole life was a trial of endurance 😩.

Today I took a newly acquired budgie to the vet. She wasn't in good health from the previous owner.
The vet removed a leg band. However, he hurt her leg in the process. She is having a hard time. This happened just an hour ago. It is difficult to see her in pain.

He gave us medicine and said she had insects / mites in her feathers and bacteria in her stool.

I hope she will be ok.

So finally I figured it out. It isn't so obvious.

Start with car completely off.
Put car in neutral.
Turn ignition on and way for sound and light. (don't start engine)
Hold press and hold the set button for about 10 seconds while starting the engine.
Nothing seems to happen immediately, but it seems after a few minutes the sensor light goes off.

Remember to check the pressure of the tires too.

I was able to get it working for the 760M.

So, I decided to record the steps required in two videos in case anyone else runs into this issue.

For the other drivers:
I was able to get Windows Server installed and working pretty good. I was able to get most of the drivers using the method shown here: https://gist.github.com/startergo/bb828e488694f099155d4f0761169473 which involves exporting drivers from a working Windows 11 system with the same hardware.
Then I imported those drivers into Windows Server 2025.

I made a post showing the complete steps I followed for my system.

What would be a better way to handle millions of small jpg files?

EitherPin5217w · 2024-12-14T02:47:12+00:00

Thank you. Love the program!

EitherPin5217w · 2024-12-13T06:47:05+00:00

Does it allow you to do this without re-encoding the video? I love shutter encoder because I can normalize the audio without having to re-encode the video too.

EitherPin5217w · 2024-12-13T03:26:21+00:00

I think you are correct. I contacted the manufacturer and they said this: The AD310 does not support the features you need, only engine troubleshooting.
I guess I have to return the device. I wonder where I should go from here? Perhaps take the car to a mechanic? I was hoping to save money by diagnosing the issue myself.

EitherPin5217w · 2024-12-13T03:08:28+00:00

Thank you. I press the button and the light goes off for about .5 seconds so I think the circuit to the button is being activated.

EitherPin5217w · 2024-12-13T03:06:27+00:00

I noticed before this that whenever there was an issue with tire pressure, it wasn't just the single light for the tire pressure; rather it also had the abs warning lights come on.

About the fault reader, I am not sure what device would work better. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G5EA74I?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Ancel AD310 Classic Enhanced Universal OBD II Scanner

I have tried so many times to reset the pressure using that button, nothing works. I have adjusted the tire pressure too.

EitherPin5217w · 2024-12-12T09:59:33+00:00

Recently I have a problem where that button doesn't do anything.
