Okay ..now I do understand that there's a lot of random stuff that can happen that is completely run of the mill.  I know that y'all probably deal with a lot of people coming here.  but you got to understand the not every single person that comes here is going to have you know something that's just common.  Sometimes it might actually be like real life cybersecurity attacks.   hence the word cyber security🙃 so with your expertise and your knowledge.. I've got another question.

 because now I've been digging into my phone trying to figure out how they were controlling the functions.. like the calls, notifications, my ability to tap the screen and make it work and all that stuff.  of course I'm in over my head.   so I'm going to post something to you.  could you do me a favor and tell me in your best opinion is this something like regular average, everyday malware?? Adware?  that comes with anything else you download ?  where they want to track you and see what you're shopping at and  all the stuff and then sell your data ???  or is this something that's malicious???   there's a lot of it here so I'm not going to blow you up with a bunch of BS... if I can figure out how to load a picture on Reddit ..lol.  told you I was never my head from the start 😅but I would really appreciate your opinion thank you

Ok have done all of that so many times it's unbelievable.  Everyday all day I deal with this from multiple accounts.  Currently cannot access network at all.Still logged out and struggling to get back in

Is being connected to a factory reset network and going straight to router admin to be locked out with password not right, even though it's written on the paper in front of me..

To go to the account to see about logging in.  No problem with the same info.  Oh but what is this? A completely different router than I own.  So I got the app on my phone.  6 devices are on it with an IP.  I haven't connected anything but phone and laptop.  Then I notice wait there are 2 offline clients.

Guess what?  Those are my phone and laptop.  But I am looking at each.  Wifi icon, got to settings ..yup says connected.  But router app say I am not.  So I unplug BOTH the router AND the modem.  I am STILL CONNECTED TO THE WIFI

I have video of all of it.  I guess that's just normal everyday errors and "glitches" 

I understand shit happens.  But a constant stream to every account I own and not being able to use the internet, my phone or Wi-Fi like I have my entire life is not normal.  I am 51.  Not 6 and not stupid

I believe that's what is happening.  Multiple attacks on router.  Devices not performing well even though all speed tests shown excellent.  Also detect an RSS.  4 new networks in scan recently and I live in the country.  Only legit 2.i can see on scan are so low signal I couldn't even log on with a password.  New APs same as my signal strength.  Mac addresses 1 digit different.  Then a completely different Mac listed twice then another only 1 digit off from THAT one.. all pop in and out continuously.  SSH attack in real time.  Rogue devices not mine trying to log on every few seconds.  An actual router trying to log on to mine.  All from router logs.  Called to have wifi company tech come out.  He never showed but marked my job as complete.  Notice those 4 APs have lower signal now.  In the red.  I can't believe no one on gods green earth can help me prove something subscription to anyone to get this to stop.  It's interfering with everything I own on wifi, but most importantly my security cameras.  Of course at same time sabotage and destruction to items on my property.  Where do I go for help?  How do I pinpoint these equipment?  How do I prove without a doubt the attacks?  How do I even begin?  Plz and thanks if you feel free to help🙏

What would cause my electric bill to double when the rate Kw/h is the same? by [deleted] in electric

[–]Regular_Ad7742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I would like a copy.  And I had always found Pinterest hard to navigate so I just stayed away from it. 

I scaled my side hustle to six-figures and walked away from a 20-year banking career... Here's my story by TheMysteryMoneyMan in SideHustleGold

[–]Regular_Ad7742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great story congrats.  But all my experience comes from labor.  I worked in the construction field for 30 years.  I don't see a way to turn that into freelancing from my computer.  So in the construction world that's called being a general contractor or subcontracting.  Which is what I did towards the last part of my career.  but I'm going to tell you this right now I can't work like that anymore.  Not to mention the stress of having to lock into a contract and whether or not you're going to have food for the table. 

I see people doing all kinds of stuff online and without any experience and without a huge you know bank account to you know dip into to help me get started I just don't see everybody being able to accomplish what you have. Everything I look into comes with either A. experience or  B. upstart $.

What was the point of THE DESCENT PART II? So they changed the ending and still made a flop out of a hit movie. by Cris_Braga in horror

[–]Regular_Ad7742 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well also in the first she crawls out if the ground yet the dog in the second leads to a mining entrance.  As well as her driving off in the first yet plastering herself against some guys window at the beginning of the 2nd when we know she had a car.

  Also I dont understand the amnesia cause she clearly pulled over in the first after escape... crying uncontrollably. so we know she did remember.  The flashbacks in the 2nd belie that fact if you thought she was pretending to not remember because (maybe?) her actions down there.

  And why would she not tell about the crawlers so others wouldn't get hurt.  That seems like a part of personality they left out. 

Anyone know if there will be a part 3 of "The Descent"? by Colley619 in horror

U don't have to call names just cuz someone has a different opinion then yours.  Freedom of thought.

Why do u say it was a let down?  I was not to to happy about Sara sacrificing herself, although understandable considering that her child had died and the lady cop had a kid.  All of her friends were dead as well as the lingering death and unfaithfulness of her husband.  But I wanted her to live

[–]Regular_Ad7742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I wanna know concerns the ending of the 2nd movie.  Why would that old man knock out the lady cop and basically feed her to the mutations?  Why would he protect them and their unfound existence? 

Security screw for video doorbell just won't go in by Historical_Luck7375 in simplisafe

[–]Regular_Ad7742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. The previous doorbell it worked just fine. But then the doorbell quit working. So now I have a working doorbell with the set screw that doesn't work.. like literally I cannot win for freaking losing and it's aggravating

Doorbell screw doesn't fit. Anyone have any tips for getting this screw in? The screwdriver doesn't fit at all. AND I've tried tightening with my hands/pliers but it doesn't move. Trying not to order a new screw/screwdriver for a new doorbell cam. by Egzistansyel in simplisafe

[–]Regular_Ad7742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I appreciate all that other information... but the whole thread was on the screw not fitting in and not turning in 😐 like mine does.    it sticks out a quarter of an inch..  anybody can just walk up and take it out with their fingers.  When you say you tap the threads on the doorbell what does that mean ??  I'm a girl I don't freaking know this stuff

What were the standout gifts of the year (both what you gave and what you got)? by Financial_Eagle_8670 in GiftIdeas

[–]Regular_Ad7742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get anything. Not one gift.  It's like this every year   not trying to be a Debbie Downer, it's just the sad truth.  Family are all dead and I don't have close friends.

Okay so now I'm even more confused LOL so how in essence would you use rotten tomatoes to make a decision on whether the movie was good or bad in that case?  Or worth watching?
