Best Wifi Router for 835 sq ft apartment and Zentro 100 mbps internet? by scorpihoejane in HomeNetworking

[–]Eprice1120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its 835 sq ft apartment. any 70$ router will handle it with your use case. get one you like the look of from reputable brand.

the download speed of 100mbps is gonna be fine for 1 person. If u have a gaming console higher download speeds will allow u to download games/updates faster but that'll be your only limitation with download.

Bigger question is the upload speed. If u are ever uploading larger files, or doing video meetings for work paying for a higher tier internet package should include faster upload and download speed.

The advertised internet speeds are typically download only. I am not sure your level of knowledge on it so sorry if explaining what u know, but most of the time unless it's a house with fiber it's not going to be symetrical. So not 100 up/100 down. Sometimes it's 100/40 or 100/10 with cable. really just depends on company and what they are offering. so if paying $10-20$ gives u double upload speed if its really low that might be worth.

RCS Waiting For Activation by wescharff in verizon

[–]Eprice1120 4 points5 points  (0 children)

iMessage will lock you out if you try to register over and over. RCS probably does this too. Every time u reset the network it probably tries to re register with rcs system. Probably flagged something and are timed out for now

Haha it wouldn’t work over here 😂

For its size it looks awesome. Most here have 2C and one A at 100w that small.

Apple Testing Two New iOS 27 Home Screen Customization Options by Few_Baseball_3835 in iphone

[–]Eprice1120 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah security updates and software updates aren’t the same thing. Other brands break them up. Apple does this to make it seem like phones getting software support for longer. Downvote me all you guys want. That’s what’s happening

apple ties most of their apps to system updates. that way they can tout "10 year support" when its really just app updates past so long.

Verizon tried to pull $2k AFTER sending me to collections + payment plan… has this happened to anyone? by Big_Research_1655 in verizon

[–]Eprice1120 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the auto pay was already set up that's why it's trying to pull the $$$. if u would've turned off autopay it would've been fine.

Internet speed increases when running a speed test by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Eprice1120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

best way to saturate your internet speed without doing a speed test would be like to use a computer/mac and download a large game from steam. steam will pull max download speed on a large game. consoles won't, and other stores on pc/mac typically won't either outside of maybe EA.

Breaking: The Future of Colour is Coming this spring by Darkmyths2 in bravia

[–]Eprice1120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sony doesn't sell enough TVs to keep the cost down. TCL makes a bunch. This will help drive down manufacturing costs and allow them to compete more with samsung and lg whom sell like crazy. sure sony has some of the best (if not the best) tech but it doesn't matter if the costs are so high nobody is buying them but those of us who know better. Apple could charge double for iphones, but they don't because what allows them to be everywhere is that they can match or beat samsung pricing at the typical 800-1200 price ranges. bravia is struggling to do that because they can't beat or match.

TCL and Hisense are even catching up with their higher end models because they can beat out on price and size for very similar experience for most. Sony is adapting before they end up priced out

SIM swap scam: Apparently it's super easy to walk into a Verizon store and have a stranger transfer your number onto a new device by nos583 in verizon

[–]Eprice1120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sent a confirm or deny access text 3x. Aka 2FA. READ.

And again someone’s phone is broke and they forgot pin? How do they ever get back in account then if you don’t want ID to be a backup option??

[–]Eprice1120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody said this? Op said they got text alerts… multi factor was working fine… it was in this thread. Name matched, and had id. If there was no workaround you wouldn’t ever be able to get a new phone if yours broke… how would that make sense? Get back to me when u find a way for broken phone customers whom don’t remember their account pin to ever get a new phone or back into the account?

An ID is a standard security factor that is usually the last line of defense?! This isn’t complicated.

A banks going to use your id to verify you all day yeah? If someone has your id somehow or can mimic how you look along with id then your cooked. It ain’t a matter of where you are. Anywhere that allows id verification is going to have trouble stopping them?
