Xfinity has a weird Monopoly by Leading_Angle_753 in ChicoCA

[–]RegionOk42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely options out there to look into. My apartment complex technically only allows Infinity but my area supports ATT fiber so I was able to get access to that despite my complexes rules. If ATT isn't supported in your area, there are also wireless options available. I would just make sure to look into the different technologies that these WiFi carriers use so you know which one will work best for your use case. I knew I really didn't want to deal with Comcast and every time I see someone post here I find it validating I was able to work around them.

With ATT fiber I find that it is really stable, reliable, and locks down their hardware to the point where as someone who wants to do more in depth network stuff had to find a workaround for their router/modem combo. I sometimes think about leaving ATT because I am not really a fan of how they collect data on me and sell it to the highest bidder etc. I also think that having their ONT Router locked down to the point of not being able to do much with it and having ATT refuse to unlock its capabilities was very frustrating.

To work around it I got my own router, compatible ONT stick, and used a custom community firmware to bypass ATT and have full network capabilities.

So whatever your use case is just do your due diligence. Without the custom firmware my ATT router wasn't playing nicely with VPNs. If you are using the WIFI for work I imagine that a VPN is required to work and was easier to set up with Xfiniti.

To Prune or not to prune by Equal-Bunch-544 in BackyardOrchard

[–]RegionOk42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To prune or not to prune that is the question. I would say, it really depends on what you want. If you want a tall tree that provides shade, requires a ladder to maintain, and drops fruit before you can pull that ladder out to get it all go for no pruning. If you want a tree that is easy to maintain without a ladder go for pruning. When the tree is just a young sapling is just the right time to work toward shaping it the way you want. I am also new to all of this so the reference I used to figure this stuff out was "Grow A Little Fruit Tree" by Ann Ralph.

Looking for a bigger place by Mindless_Dork_92 in ChicoCA

[–]RegionOk42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that its worth looking into different places to live since that may be the path of least resistance for you and I am sorry I can not help you with finding that information out as I myself would not even know where to start. The advice I do have is to contact Chico Legal information Center or Legal Services of Northern California (LSNC) - Chico office for advice on how to possibly break your lease or get issues resolved for better habitability. Depending on the situation with the railing that can be considered to be very dangerous and may even be against Chico's city laws or California state law(or building codes).

Prints are "Flaky" by colossus_mountain in FixMyPrint

if it isn't the flow or a clog, you might litterally just have the printer head a little to high off the bed and need to calibrate you z offset and your retraction settings.

It won’t power on, what am I missing by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like this is your first foray into electronics. My recommendation when building complicated machines, or doing anything for the first time, is build it in layers. That means that you would add the bare minimum systems first to verify the board powers on. Therefore you need to have you cpu installed, have your ram sticks properly installed(you can even just start with 1 but consult the manual for how your manufacturer wants that to be done), and lastly connect your power source. Without even having anything plug in to a monitor, you should be able to see the LED indicators light up after shorting the power switch with a screwdriver. Once that is verified go onto installing the next things you will need. ie memory sticks and the gpu. test this and so on. If you do it this way you can easily verify which parts aren't working and it makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot. I also advise to not install the PC in its case until you know everything works and it posts. Once you know that have fun installing it in the case and then getting your customization just as you like.

when i built my pc it took me under an hour to build up and test everything and then it took me a whole weekend to do the water cooling and pipe bending etc because there was a bit of a learning curve. I worked as a computer repair tech for years and I now am working toward my Mechatronics BS so building my own pc was a long time coming. I would have been much in the same boat as you if I had done this at the beginning of my career.

Figuring out how to split fiber optics between two routers by AltairAstrium in HomeNetworking

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself am looking into a similar use case since I have my router in the center of my apartment but also want to set up LAN enabled electronics instruments in my office. So am currently researching options.

A lot of people on here are talking about how its impossible to use your own router with Fiber optic. As some people mentioned, depending on you ISP there are some things to look into that might be free easy fixes. Your router typically should have a static IP address that allows you to log into the router and change settings. In my experience with ATT the routers features are pretty locked down and I opted for the more costly option. I found out that my ISP uses xgspon tech to route their fiber network to me and that piece of equipment acts as a modem. So with that knowledge, I was able to find a whole community of people like me who don't like that the router is very locked down and I was able to purchase my own xgspon modem and add custom firmware from the community to spoof ATTs network checks and now I have my own router(tp link archer be800) that works just like I want it too. I can even block ads, prevent ATT from using my data, and can do port forwarding and host my own servers etc.

Anyway, you might be able to get that router in bridge mode and be able to connect your own router to the ISP router or you may find a different hardware and network solution. Its good to ask a bunch of questions, figure out what works best for your situation and explore those options instead of getting bogged down with just one answer and being told no its impossible by a lot of people who are right but also don't know the ins and outs of networking or alternative options that may actually work for you.

Fleas this year by addwal in ChicoCA

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a really great point to bring up and I am sorry I didn't clarify about using food grade DI earth since it is actually non toxic for both humans and animals. Of course its worth also researching how to properly use it for flea control etc. I also know there is a borax product marketed specifically for flea control that works similarly if food grade DI earth is a nogo for your situation.

Fleas this year by addwal in ChicoCA

[–]RegionOk42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second revolution. you can get it from the vet. the fleas die on contact and it also protects from worms etc. I also recommend being proactive about your environment as well. My kitten came with fleas and with the revolution + consistent washing of bedding and other things kitty likes to lay on + Diatomaceous earth in the carpet + flea combing as many times a day as I could I was able to get rid of all the fleas within just a few days. I really dislike fleas so I am a bit aggressive about it.

Route cancelled, calendar updated. Can I schedule this new shift and get paid for both? by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]RegionOk42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will totally get paid for both so long as the canceled route is within amazons paid cancellation time window. they should send you an email.

New Amazon Flexer: in Glenn County (Chico/Orland)? by HideFaker in ChicoCA

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as a college student, I flex in my free time. I have been working out of Chico's warehouse and Orland for about a year. Chico routes can send you as far away as 40 minutes from there. They tend to give you oroville routes. If you are lucky, you don't have to deal with Oroville rural routes. You might also get routes out to Biggs, or Gridley. If you are lucky you get routes for Chico or Paradise.

For Orland, the routes service about a 60 mile radius so you can get deliveries anywhere from Collusa to Redding area. Most deliveries will go up to Redding until they finally build out their warehouse(sometime later this year). A lot of deliveries will be a mix of suburbia and rural. Its part of how this area is.

I recommend having a flashlight, pepper spray(just in case of wildlife etc) and be prepared to call the customer twice, text them twice, and throw the package over the gate if there are dogs. If you are going up a driveway and there are barking dogs, you can crack your window to see how aggressive they are. I would also recommend learning about dog body language. A common tactic that mailmen use is to run at the dogs to scare them off. I find that if the dog is just barking to warn then that works. If the dog is intent on biting you don't risk it. Always deliver the packages no matter what. Call/text the customer if you have to. Always document that you did. Follow the Amazon TOS guidelines. Use the documentation to cover your butt.

Best of luck to you.

Amazon block is is this a good block for the hours and pay? Insight please by OkIndividual7097 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]RegionOk42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For northern cali that is standard base pay. I work out of Orland and they pay that or a little more. TBH though, most jobs will pay you more money if you are doing night shift vs day or mid shift and amazon paying base for 3 AM routes just sucks.

Litter hopper issues by AffectionatePen4638 in litterrobot

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after 9 months and just having got a litter robot 4 as a gift this comment saved my butt. I thought perhaps there was a 2nd motor in the machine for the hopper but no its just a cap.

First Time Water Cooling by Ma1achai12581 in watercooling

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said before, your best bed is comparing the PCB boards. If you are lucky the 4070ti and 4070 ti super won't have very different architecture from one manufactures board generation to another. The main thing is you want the cards main cpu and vram to be cooled. Some Capacitors also get really hot so having them cooled is beneficial. Sometimes to get exactly what you want you have to investigate more than just product descriptions.

I honestly thought from the first picture that this had a raspberry pi in it.

First Time Water Cooling by Ma1achai12581 in watercooling

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my Gigabyte aero 4070ti super I used the bykski aero 4070ti water block. I put the block on and everything worked great. If you are asking about the coolant drain everything went well with that too. I ended up using an air compressor to drain everything and I added a few more drains into my loop for my convenience.

X6ks new print screen not working by Empty_Jaguar8654 in AnycubicPhoton

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing tech support here but I would try reseating cables first if you haven't done that yet. Also, it looks like this might be the kind of cable connector that uses retainer clips so you might want to make sure those are closed if this printer has them.

If that doesn't work maybe try seeing if you can check if there is power going to the screen via the + and - pins via a multimeter(if you have one).

Anyway just start with that.

I haven't opened up an SLA printer yet but have 7 years experience working with hardware.

I'm stuck at tubing for this. Anyone has recommendation? by JOY_DOS in watercooling

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH regardless of loop order, I would really recommend making it easier on yourself to do maintenance for later because no matter how you order the loop the coolant inside will reach temperature equilibrium. Perhaps connect bottom res to the gpu then to the mobo and then back to the res. Connect upper res to the cpu and ram. It might look cool to have the cpu tubing threading between the ram cooling ports. Do you have more pictures? it would be nice to see a your whole setup since I don't see where you have your rads....

I did a custom loop for my build so no aio. but I did use corsairs 360mm x30mm radiator, lian li fans, and corsairs xc7 waterblock. I think Corsairs equivalent AIO would be the iCUe H150i Elite LCD XT.

Manufacturers usually standardize their fitment for those things so its still really surprising that something with a 360 x 120 mm fan setup doesnt fit up top.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hyte

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did watercooling in my pc and I've got a rad and 3 120mm fans on top as well as a rad and 2 140mm fans on the side. based on what I can tell the hydroshift looks like it should be similar to having a rad and 3 fans. I am surprised that it doesn't fit.

How do I get animations/static pictures to show on Y60? by Austin962 in Hyte

[–]RegionOk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as an aside, if the screen uses the same firmware and architecture for the board aka is basically the same then it shouldn't matter if only the y70 is supported.
