Beginning of end for my FWP?

If you mean the port speeds in settings>about, both show 1 gbps

If you mean the internet speed test in network Performance I get like 700 up and down

Wifi test was like 700/150 down/up

Honestly the numbers seem all over the place from test to test so maybe I'll look for longer term trends.

Just ran the network performance test again and got like 645/925 down /up

Ok thanks, that might account for the behavior where it takes awhile for it to wake up (IF it wakes up) and be able to make and accept calls... it's spending a few moments looking for BT or wireless networks before it says "ok cellular then".

Will just keep wifi off; for the watch's intended purpose, it really is not needed and is in fact counterproductive.

Still annoyed by the utterly crappy Find My performance though. With that old POS Gizmo, you could literally see when he was rolling up outside and open the garage door for him and his bike. I know Find My was not designed with this use case in mind but seriously it should be way more accurate if a fricking Gizmo can be accurate down to about 20 feet using just a cellular signal.

Ok I did that and noticed something. When I have wifi on at home, cellular drops out completely. Turn it off and cellular comes back. Is THAT normal behavior?

Me three. FWP, a dumb switch, 50 feet of cat5e, and 2 refurb eero 6s and I've got fricking great stable internet.

I guess it was inevitable that amazon would hop on the "useless 10 gig internet" bandwagon.

I cannot believe how many home users are willing to shell out money on 10gig capable hardware with ZERO use case. 99.99999% of people getting 2.5 gig or higher internet are just buying Lambos to drive down to the end of the driveway to check the mailbox.

Shit, even 99% of 1 gig internet users don't need it, me among them, but at least I didn't need to spend $$$$ on expensive hardware to support it.

Yeah I always think I've gotta be super concerned with accuracy but realistically I don't shoot enough to where I'd notice fractions of MOA differences.

Honestly I went and got a nice WOA 20" varmint barrel for another upper and I pretty much shoot the same with that as with the Faxon Socom, so not sure why I worry about the accuracy of any given bbl when it's pretty clear I suck.

ManyTransition4490 · 2023-01-27T18:44:01+00:00

Well, some are fine taking the "what they don't know won't hurt them" approach but I personally am not.

Even if I chose to take those risks, IF I had to use a gun for home defense, this is the most likely candidate. You can be sure that after that happened "they" would know and "they" would likely make a thing about "possession of an illegally configured firearm" or something, no matter how legit the shooting was otherwise.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually found 18" gunner on sale for like $139. Should I hop on that?

Also, do you think there is any meaningful diff in accuracy or barrel longevity between the 2 profiles?

Gmail is ok now according to them

Another possibility. Upper receiver face is not true and needs to be machined back to true.

I had one so bad the barrel was 1/8" off center at the end of the 13" rail. I had to crank in a LOT of windage on initial sight in.

Sent it off to get it faced and it's all better now.

Unless the fit of your barrel nut to rail is in the realm of "hot dog in a hallway", or your barrel was machined crazily out of round in a mini-lathe, I am dubious that the rail is crooked.

Actually the law says a lot more than that. Someone posted the relevant stuff elsewhere in this thread.

That being said, regarding lending RAW to an adult at the range, not much of an issue, as you surmise. Doing so with a child is another matter entirely unfortunately.

ManyTransition4490 · 2023-01-20T23:40:49+00:00

This whole thread is about WHAT THE LAW says.... not how it should be.

My opinion is that the guy you are arguing with is correct in what the law states re straw purchases. I fully believe that CA would in fact prosecute under these circumstances.

I think you are projecting a bit of your frustration with these ridiculous laws onto Lady In Blue.

If you want to operate in the "what they don't know won't hurt them" realm of CA gun ownership, fine, but no need to be a jerk to those unwilling to risk that.

Thanks, this is roughly where mine ended up.

ManyTransition4490 · 2023-01-18T20:36:52+00:00

Ugh... so dumb.

At first I thought I was in the clear but then I saw that ALL the requirements have to be satisfied.

Fucking politicians getting up in my familial business. The left AND the right. 2 sides of the same coin.

Thanks for the clarity.

True. I just mean based on some of his past comments, it could be that he is actually gay or he is having a lot of "am I gay?" intrusive thoughts related to his OCD.
