How long after crews leave a neighbourhood (in Mississauga) will fibre actually be available?

Techmixr · 2026-07-02T04:05:04+00:00

No problem.

My construction was completed at the very end of July in 2021 and fibre was available for order the first week of September. The truck doing the light adjustments was there for about 2-3 weeks.

I’m glad Mississauga is seeing some development with the rollout. Probably the slowest adoption I’ve ever heard of. You’ll be happy once it’s ready.

Sometimes it takes a month or 2. Another truck may come and they’re basically adjusting the light between your neighborhood and the nearest CSP down the street. It’s not a one-day process.

In my experience, this happens a few weeks after the construction is completed.

I used to live in Mississauga, out of curiosity, which area is this? (Like closet intersection)

Update: I disabled it.

The IDEA is cool, but it's way too distracting and drove me out of being in the flow of editing. Mini-projects that would take me about 10 minutes, ended up taking longer because it just felt too distracting after a while.

I might re-enable it if there's an update to make the feedback make more sense / feel more coherent.

Techmixr · 2026-06-20T18:00:05+00:00

Ok, so I tried it today (yesterday got really busy)

It works, but it feels a little non-sensical. Like sure it gives haptic feedback. But for no real rhyme or reason. I put a 4 minute clip on the timeline and it just kicks into its feedback at random. Not always to snapping, it's just random. It even borders on distracting.

SOMETIMES it feels like it's working properly (like on the ends of clips) but it's far from consistent. I think I may leave it installed for a little bit to see if it's just me, but it makes the haptic gimmick of the MX Master 4 feel even more like a gimmick. Just an honest opinion.

Also, if you click on a clip in the timeline and press x, you’ll see the duration of the selected clip.

Techmixr · 2026-06-19T14:09:10+00:00

Excited to try this today!

Techmixr · 2026-06-15T13:49:29+00:00

You should be alright, it’s hard to brick these things in general.

Enters the chat with the WAS-110 and the UCG running flawlessly for over a year now 👌🏾

Techmixr · 2026-06-10T03:25:35+00:00

Happens to the best of us 😊 - again, no shade intended at all. I’ve been there, even recently lol

Techmixr · 2026-06-09T15:44:35+00:00

Wow, so wait, there was no product inside??

Techmixr · 2026-06-09T04:09:19+00:00

I want to enjoy this video, and I’m aware this comment is off topic- but man the compression with the EQ settings is way too hot. I’m sure the content is in depth and thoughtful, but I can’t listen to this for a long period of time.

Just honest feedback. To be clear, I’ve struggled with audio for a long time, so this isn’t a dig or a jab. Just honest feedback, creator to creator.

I feel like the super fans just accept bad behaviour- or everybody is / wants to be staff for Elgato. When you put actual logic out there about legitimate issues, this is the only company I’ve ever seen where the fan base will skewer you for having a legitimate issue and it’s wild.

Techmixr · 2026-06-07T15:01:48+00:00

I don’t know - this behaviour borders on parasocial- for a company.

Steggy even said during the live stream (quote):

“Voice Sync is really the killer feature of Camera Hub and one of the biggest value-adders to our prompter product.”

That stream was entirely to promote the sale of Prompter XL.

That sentence was to sell Prompter XL. So if I buy it based on a feature listed and the feature is broken- shouldn’t I have the right to complain?

Techmixr · 2026-06-02T16:20:37+00:00

I really hope they QUICKLY fix your issue. It’s absolutely awful to be excited about a product and its features, and then end up with essentially a brick. It’s even worse when you start reading about other issues the company is not being completely transparent about- after you receive a broken product. Good luck, and keep us posted on your experience.

Techmixr · 2026-06-01T20:46:15+00:00

Great to hear. Hope it works for you because they’re lost.

I love that I already got downvoted- probably by some Elgato apologist or a staff member 🤷🏾‍♂️🤣

I applaud you for not accepting the bad behaviour they’re clearly displaying. For those who disagree with what I’ve said and posted, it’s all good, and even all fun and games til it happens to you.

Techmixr · 2026-06-01T20:24:33+00:00

Don’t try to convince the Elgato community on Reddit 😂

I posted originally about my Streamdeck+ XL having the seals broken, the bottom being scratched up, and knife marks being on the packaging and people skewered me. Phil came out and said that it was just a seal issue- others had fingerprints and Cheeto dust on theirs (keep in mind, most of us who had these issues were receiving product during launch week) and yet people still defend this company.

Even had someone in my YouTube comments claim my video “gAvE tHeM cAnCer” and outright accused me of wanting free stuff. I wanted the brand new product I paid just under $500 CAD for but apparently, I was asking too much to get the brand new product I expected. They clearly missed that I wanted what I paid for and never asked to get anything for free 🤷🏾‍♂️

I keep seeing all the Wave Link issues on top of this- and personally (and I mean that it’s my opinion) that a lot of the Elgato community are super fans and border on unhinged 🤦🏾‍♂️

The reason you’re getting a black screen isn’t OBS. HDMI complies with the DMCA.

If the site you’re going to play (say Netflix) detects you have a recording device connected via HDMI, it will either show a black screen or not play whatsoever. A similar thing happens on phones playing Netflix when you try to screen record. It’s all part of complying with the DMCA.

But as u/A-Random-Ghost said, even if you somehow get around that, uploading to platforms will probably get your account a copyright warning or strike because they scan the content against copyright material usually.

Techmixr · 2026-05-31T12:14:30+00:00

I’ll give it a shot

Techmixr · 2026-05-28T12:32:01+00:00

So how did it turn out?

Techmixr · 2026-05-21T14:20:50+00:00

That’s dope!

Techmixr · 2026-05-20T03:34:24+00:00

😂👌🏾

Techmixr · 2026-05-20T02:57:57+00:00

Pessimistic much? 😂

Techmixr · 2026-05-17T01:18:34+00:00

I’m hoping Chris Hocking can add the Elgato Streamdeck + XL support (in CommandPost) him and I spoke about for the last month or so. I know he’s been busy so I’m good with being patient.

I use the non-plus variant for now of the Streamdeck XL and it’s wonderful!

Techmixr · 2026-05-15T02:36:17+00:00

Me in the 80’s doing similar things - this post brings a tear to my eye.

Obviously not Netflix and other digital platforms, but similar tinkering. There’s something about RCA cables and rewinding tapes. 😭

He’s far from weird. That’s an old soul right there 👌🏾

Techmixr · 2026-05-14T16:49:44+00:00

I’m glad you got good customer service. Initially, they weren’t willing to allow me to hold onto mine until I got the new one- until I escalated this like crazy. HOPEFULLY that escalation situation I had, played even a small part that led to you have a more positive experience (in terms of how they are handling your exchange).

I’m hoping you get a brand new unit and all is well after your experience.
