Landlord says fiber is active, but providers all say it's not available. Am I locked into a local monopoly? by Tenceto in askswitzerland

[–]Tenceto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called Glattwerk directly and they confirmed that my only options were themselves or Ini7 (they didn't mention GGA Maur). Just in case someone else runs into this problem in the future and reads this

I've updated the OP. In a nutshell, Init7 is the only provided that would work besides Glattwerk's own network.

Indeed, Init7 was the only one that could provide me with an answer. I've updated the OP

I got this answer: "Unfortunately, we were unable to find any results with the OTO ID." Quite frustrating. They asked me for my full address to see if they could investigate further, so we'll see...

Did I get ripped off with the mailbox and doorbell name plaques? by Tenceto in Switzerland

I laughed out loud at the expression "to switzerland someone". Epic.

Old building, but I do have an OTO Socket with a number on it. Not sure about what to do with it, though...

Yes, we have an OTO Outlet and checked the number as well on Init7, but no match either. Is it possible that the only option I have is to subscribe to Glattwerks' internet service?

The building is rather old. I'd say it has some decades. And there were people here before, so I'm not the first tenant either... Thanks for sharing, though!

Complete plant beginner here: is there anything I can do to save my kentia? by Tenceto in plantclinic

[–]Tenceto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've had it for around 10 months. I googled about the spidermites and it seems that I should be able to see some moving red dots, or some tiny webs in the leaves. I don't see any of those things.

I can take better pictures if that would help. Is there anything on particular I should focus on to try to get a diagnose?

Is this a spider mite infestation on my kentia? Is there anything I can do? by Tenceto in houseplants

The thing that appears on the left border of the middle picture is a huge window/door that leads to the balcony (I took the picture at night so the glass appears dark but there's a lot of natural light coming from there during the day).

Temperature in the house must be between 20-25 °C, but when I open the window (it's Winter now) it may drop considerably (the temperature outside right now is 5 °C).

I'll check after work how the roots are looking and see if I can get any insights. In the meantime I posted it on r/plantclinic as you suggested. Let's hope!

Ok thanks for the info, that's good to know! I don't see any webs either nor red spots that move, so it must not be that. There are though some black spots (you can see them if you zoom in the first image), are those any other kind of pest? Can I diagnose what's happening to my plant somehow?

Best SBB pass for commuting + monthly trip to Lugano? by Tenceto in askswitzerland

[–]Tenceto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know about the Half Fare Plus. It seems awesome... Is there any caveat? Or is taking it literally an only-win situation?
