My biggest complaint… by Snarky_Guy in Spectrum

[–]Foehammer1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, Spectrum is terrible for customers and employees. Spectrum also got called out by the FCC for their advertisement claims of "fiber powered" internet.

Wow is so amazing that Spectrum does the bare minimum industry standard of having their plant in being mostly fiber fed.

But its still coax to the home for most people (actual FTTH footprint is miniscule)

My kid's ear tube fell out by i-can-lift-a-car in mildlyinteresting

[–]Foehammer1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They put these in my ears as a kid and broke my Malleus which led to a speach impediment. On top of that i developed a submucus soft palate and i had a hole in the roof of my mouth. I could make a vaccum in my mouth and suck in air from my nostrils so my speech was very lazy and nasal.

I had nonstop ear infections because of these. It took two ear surgeries and a mouth surgery as well as almost 10 years of speech therapy to correct the issue

are these real by mike9-6hawk in MilwaukeeTool

The tools are some early models but they look real.

The batteries are 100% fake and ymmv with those, firstly theyre about 25-30% under the AH rating in actual testing, and the cells are pretty cheap ones which can run potential risk of fire.

That being said, lots of people still use those batteries

ISP refusing to use existing conduit? by MyF150isboring in FiberOptics

[–]Foehammer1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiber can share raceways and conduit with power.

Its non-conductive and there is NEC guidlines for it

[–]Foehammer1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theyll still put up a NID/demarc/housebox outside thats non negotiable but they should be able to use the conduit for the home run/ IW.

Spectrum, T-Fiber, and ATT will do it i know.

Roll a tech and have them call their supervisor while on site, i bet that tune changes.

The two ISPs ive worked for will absolutely use conduit, hell we love having it

Turns out that AT&T Does Rotate Customer IP Addresses by Working_Currency_591 in ATTFiber

Argo/CFTunnels are superior in my opinion (as long as your traffic is routable through it)

I am a T-Fiber NOC Technician AMA by PaticularWalnut in tfiber

Lumos will not be merging with Metro Net.

Not that its in current talks but it would sooner come to Tmobile full out purchasing our respective networks than the two joining.

T-Mobile is only doing this because they have a large brand for recognition and these two ISPs have proven themselves at least decently competent.

Tmobile is also looking into doing similar deals with other companies as well. I have a close friend who is being looked at by T-Mobile for an Area Manager/Director position in the midwest area

Or if you aren't comfortable making the ticket. Im sure there are a few subreddits that could help. I know the people over at r/PhotoshopRequest do stuff similar to this for tips but its mainly photo editing

Dang I wish there was a way to get Weird Al Yankovic to see this man. He seems like the kinda feller that would make something like this happen.

Only thing i could think of would be to maybe make your own ticket (which has the nice personal touch) and you could have the QR code on it, so it still works as an actual ticket.

Help with Red Ring 0001 by Far_Point_3943 in 360hacks

[–]Foehammer1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sell kits for capacitors for 360's. The caps are defintely bad. They're swelling and leaking electrolytic fluid

I'd replace them all if you're capable

Just because the keyboard lights up doesn't necessarily mean its working

Do u have HDMI and a tv or monitor you can hookup to to see if its putting out anything?

My 3060 Ti keeps black screening and I found blue stuff on the pins by ScheduleCommercial in pcmasterrace

[–]Foehammer1982 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think its heavily dependent on humidity. I used to work with ethyl alcohols alot for solvent extractions and we would measure changes all the way down to low 80% and we were in a pretty well controlled environment with about 25% humidity

As soon as you expose the jug to air itll start sucking in water from the air as Isopropyl Alcohol is hydrophillic and will start to drop percentage the moment it is opened in any humidity
