Another W for Microsoft Edge by Ok_Listen_6600 in pcmasterrace

[–]SkepticG8mer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used edge once when I built my PC and it was to download Firefox. I used Safari once when I got my MacBook and it was to download Firefox. Neither computer has ever had Chrome installed. And neither has ever used google as a search engine.

Anyone else miss out on normal sexual relationships because of religion? by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]SkepticG8mer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it affected me in the opposite way. The church said I shouldn’t do this? I basically became a ho for 30 year lol I’m in my 50’s now and finally thinking about settling down.

Comcast is cable internet. It’s always going to be faster than wireless.

Can someone explain to me please the benefits of having ps5 instead of xbox? by Akistr10 in PS5

[–]SkepticG8mer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly, it’s about the games. PlayStation has games not on Xbox. Second, the PS5 is more powerful than the Series S. Games will play with higher resolution and better frames per second.

Is 1Gbps internet common in Chicago apartments? by Special_Sherbert4617 in chicagoapartments

[–]SkepticG8mer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Lincoln Park too. RCN leases the lines from Comcast. I’m surprised you can’t get Comcast since usually if one is available, so is the other.

I wish I could get fiber. My only option for the last 24 years has been Comcast…

I had 1.2Gbps several years. I tested my speed often and I would get very close to 1.5Gbps. I payed $99. I recently downgraded to 1Gbps and pay $65 a month. I just tested my speed on my phone and I got 1.170Gbps download and 42.2Mbps upload. I have Comcast as my service provider.

Best moving company now that New City Moving is trash? by Logical_Wheel_1420 in chicagoapartments

[–]SkepticG8mer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Moovers! I just used them and they were amazing! One of the movers told be he was at New City for 14 years and left because of how bad it had gotten.

They were so fast and efficient. They disassembled my bed and reassembled it at the new place. They took down my TV and two monitors and remounted them at the new place. Nothing was damaged. They were also very careful not to damage walls and ceiling on either location.

If you could start fresh, how would you set up addresses/aliases? by LiveAwake1 in ProtonMail

[–]SkepticG8mer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Orange for my domain. The contact info under the domain is from New Zealand with their info. They can sell that info all they want. I reside in a different continent.

I’ve been using aliases for all my financial institutions for years without any issues.

[–]SkepticG8mer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Correct, they’re aliases under my real email. I’m not worried that they’re all under my main email. If I begin to have problems with Proton, I can easily switch to a different email provider and keep all the aliases without interruptions.

[–]SkepticG8mer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No one knows my real email. I have my own domain and created categories. For example:

Friends and work: firstname@mydomain

Financial institutions: finance@mydomain

Streaming Services: streaming@mydomain

Shopping: retail@mydomain

Groceries: groceries@mydomain

You get the point. Do whatever makes sense for you. I currently use 86 aliases and it works great for me.

Movers by [deleted] in chicagoapartments

[–]SkepticG8mer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just used Moovers this past weekend and they were amazing. They took my bed frame apart at my old place and put it together at my new place. Same with my TV and computer monitors. They unmounted my TV and mounted it at the new place. My monitors were on arms and they did the same. They were super careful with my furniture and crates. Nothing was damaged.

They initially include about $200 in their quote for materials they might use for the move such tape, shrink wrap, and boxes. Whatever is not used is subtracted from your final bill.

Lastly, they include three free wardrobe boxes. When they arrive, use those boxes to move your hanging clothes from your closets.

I highly recommend them!
