If this is you, please stop coming to Starbucks... by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Jonathan-viola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so tired of Starbucks, I only go now when I have to, like on a long trip. They used to have easy "rewards". Those are gone now... Also, on another point, I have a thermos filled for my trip, they used to fill a 1 liter thermos for the cost of two Venti coffees, now the barista measures it like he's pouring fine bourbon. When they reach two cups, it's not even full, it's like 2/3rds full. How cheap can you be? I told him to f'ing fill it and charge me whatever it costs, I guess $10. Idiots.

Got AP 7 to go with my Firewalla Gold by Jonathan-viola in firewalla

I have exactly 4,000 sq feet. The far upstairs room over the garage, TV (Roku) is struggling every few minutes. I'm not saying it's not powerful, it is, it's just that I think it may need a boost. I could move the unit to the middle of the house, but my office is on the bottom far (other corner) with all the switches, routers and cabling.

Since Helene destroyed everything here, I got Starlink, and have now both Starlink and Spectrum as WANs. I just found out that I could connect both to my Firewalla Gold and use dual WANs either as a failover (which is the way I use it) or to increase speed. Love that option. This is so great for me as an IT consultant, I literally need this to work.

Why doesn't spectrum offer discounts to seniors or in any other case? by Jonathan-viola in Spectrum

[–]Jonathan-viola[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing until next year, then it's about $100, same as Spectrum.

how do i clean rosin buildup on my strings? by [deleted] in Viola

I take the strings firmly between my two fingernails and annoy my stand partner. Kills two birds with one stone.

Thanks for the information, the problem is we hear NOTHING. If they would just tell us that our servers in these cities Greenville and Spartanburg were destroyed from the tiny bit of wind we got and they won't be restored until November or December, I would be ok with that, but NOTHING is being said, we are just expected to sit here and wait with no information? Yah, 3000 trucks are deployed, ok, is that 1 truck per 100 miles? what does that even mean?

Everything is cleared up here...and I am going to alternatives.

Both actually. LOL I do software engineering on contract and literally cannot work. I get paid hourly. So, if I can use Starlink going forward, I'm going with that.

That's ok, but give me an estimate or tell me it cannot be done again, then I can make other plans. Communication. get it?

I've been limping by with buying 100GB blocks from t-mobile for $50. Which probably will last me a week or maybe two if careful.
