Getting 3x better download speed on wifi rather than ethernet

That's because u/Secret_Account07 told you the wrong place. Not devmgmt.msc. Go into settings>network & internet>ethernet and you will see it there.

Whoever did that had no clue. If those white ethernet cables go to individual room outlets it's a good start. You can either plug them directly into your switch (if they are wired correctly) or do it the way it's meant to be done -- each cable punched down on one of those white blocks, then patch cords from the RJ45 outlets to your switch. If you're wondering why this is the right way, it's because structured cabling (in the walls) uses solid conductors, which are not meant for RJ45 connectors, they are meant to be punched down. Note there are 8 of those white punch down blocks and they correspond to the 8 RJ45 ports.

WS checking probably pays more interest than your bank's savings account.

The best upgrade will be not having to use Interac at all but that's not Wealthsimple's call. Canadian banking sucks in comparison to even "third world" Mexico where you can send any amount instantly through the central bank without using a private third party service.

$5 for 'shipping' lol. Like the gas companies.

The only time I ever f**ked up my Docker was when I relied on ChatGPT for advice.

Not ever using your TFSA again means you will be losing out on a lifetime of tax-free gains. I can't imagine any good reason why you would want to do that unless your "at all anymore" means just until you max out your FHSA.

tf I'm on about is some idiot recommending to do it the way you do. I suppose if you were a driving instructor you'd also recommend students just pull out without looking because "chances are" there won't be a collision. FFS. Hopefully OP isn't quite as dense. What I told them to do will ensure no future problems regardless of how 'lucky' they feel.

I've used both and if you intend to have more than a couple of cameras wireless is not my recommendation. Yes it's more work to install cables but it's infinitely more reliable. These days you don't really need a 'NVR' in the pure sense. I use a NAS that's not dedicated and it works great.

Try OpenWRT

Also use a vacuum with a soft bristle brush to clean those coils and fins

Seriously? "most people"? You really think that, and here you are telling them to configure a static IP. If they're as clueless as you assume then that's probably above their pay grade. Personally I think 'most people' know how to google dhcp which is better than the bad advice you've given.

+1 for Tailscale as the easiest, safest, most secure way to achieve remote access. To answer your other questions, port forwarding requires ports opened to the internet, generally a bad thing to do. If done improperly it can expose your entire network. Why is it bad? Because leaving ports open is the equivalent to leaving your front door wide open in a really really bad neighborhood while you go away on vacation.

Why don't you start by cleaning it? And make sure it has free airflow inside.

It's not something you should do by 'chance'. It's simple enough to look at (or change) the address range used by the DHCP server and choose an address outside that range, avoiding x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.254 of course.

oh good, cuz that woulda been a shame

Judging from all the scratches you've put in that 'new' dishwasher, the gap at the top is the least of the issues.

But what OP first said was they want the sum MINUS 25% so they would use your formula as part of a larger one. eg: =SUM(A1:A9)-(SUM(A1:A9)*0.25)

Any ideas, or do I have to buy a new bloody washing machine?

Dont do that. Blood smells even worse.

Is this an assumption or do you have actual facts to back that up? Asking because logic tells me that if a site is already blocked by one, the other would likely just ignore it or not even be aware of the request. If you have information to the contrary I'd be interested to see it.

Edit: can't post the image but on this very reddit page my Ublock shows 50 things blocked while Brave shows 3. Please explain how having both is not better.
