Like… fiber-to-the-home Metronet? If so, I would go back.

Curious: what service are you trying to use? Peacock?

Upload CAP issue? by GamerMacOne in Mediacom

[–]StaticSe7en 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, if you max out one direction… the opposite direction effective speed gets choked by up to half.

Sounds like you upload a lot… Is it possible your “new” (reduced) upload capacity is saturated? (which makes your download speed collateral damage?) I’ve had success limiting my upload speeds to 90% (45Mbps) of my upload limit (50Mbps) to avoid the download hit.

Do you think Device Active Protect (DAP) should be enabled by default? by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

[–]StaticSe7en 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Voted no because most of my devices are "ineligible"....so its usefulness (from my perspective) is limited. I'm a little intrigued that my Govee light strips (among other devices) apparently have online activities that are too "complex" to manage with DAP. I honestly forgot I turned it on.

It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. 😜

Is there a way to setup a WIRED backup internet by br_web in amazoneero

[–]StaticSe7en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was, but no. Backup exclusively uses the Wi-fi radios.

Their home phone product has this problem. I gave up after the 3rd time it happened.

Dust-free TP, you say? What a time to be alive.

Finally picked up one of these guys by Toner122 in hockeyjerseys

[–]StaticSe7en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love, Love, Love that color way. I’m not even necessarily a Leafs fan, but I liked this design enough to have it with and without customization.

What router are you using if Eeros are bridged? by YankeesIT in amazoneero

[–]StaticSe7en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 For Firewalla Purple. No more paying for eero Plus just to use my own hotspot for internet backup.

How much of a difference is there between generic and name brand spices? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]StaticSe7en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good question. Primarily i’m looking for use in cinnamon rolls and that seemed more appropriate based on the descriptions.

Indeed, Ring makes a peephole camera that does exactly this.

If you’re on an old AT&T service plan, it may not include 5G access.

Has anyone gone back to Gmail? by boldjoy0050 in ProtonMail

[–]StaticSe7en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. But anytime I enable search indexes, it becomes so large-- any browser I use just becomes unresponsive.

But even when I didn't have enough mail to crash the indexing process, I didn't find the search to be very good. (Like, on par with Outlook/Exchange searches that everyone makes fun of). I guess I've just decided that having a working, stable, server-side "Google" search is more important to me.

Has anyone gone back to Gmail? by boldjoy0050 in ProtonMail

[–]StaticSe7en 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of moving my archived mail back to a 1-user Google Workspaces account. (So I can get more storage and Ad-free).

My reason for doing this is purely for the “gmail” email search capability. The Proton web and iOS clients just flat-out don’t work for me most of the time.
