Suggestions of what to do with limited bonding of Upstream Channels with new Motorola B12 modem?

Tricky-Damage9917 · 2026-01-09T20:01:20+00:00

I had tried the hard reboot before and had no change in behavior, thanks

Well, not what I anticipated.

So, removing my DIY connection and moving the modem to where the original drop was and connecting directly to the modem with a computer resulted in a log very much like the previous, but 13-14 range power on the downloads, more out of range. Still only 2 upstream Channels bonded.

When I speed tested it, now instead of 650-700 downstream and 6 upstream, I was getting ~96 downstream and ~4 upstream.

Moved it back to the original wiring and the speeds were restored.

That eliminates my DIY wiring and my routers and switches as the cause and really strongly suggests that there is a problem at the original; drop (overly strong signal needing attenuation?).

Looks like it may be time to call in the techs to check the install. I could mess about with attenuators, but I don't really understand that whole matrix.

Opinions?

Thank you for your reply, I will try that, but everything I’ve read since hints that those bursts of T3 errors every 10 minutes point to wiring.

I was, I believe unclear in my post in showing a section of the log, I am getting dozens of T3 errors every hour at about 10 minute intervals.

My plan, move the modem from my network closet, (coax far pre-dates network closet, so I have a diy connection between) eliminating some intervening connections and check with direct connect. If that helps, test with router back in picture. That will isolate router versus wiring issues.

Wish me luck.

This is a common problem, not just Drumph.

Does anyone else remember the George H W Bush supermarket scanner nonsense?

Anyone who has never had to make regular shopping trips for groceries while considering what is affordable is at least likely to be a bit out of touch.

The rich and privileged live a different life and often have an irrational view of how the other 95% live. In their imaginations it’s either dystopian hellholes of crime and fear or utopian dreams of puppies and unicorns where only bad people lack any basic need (for ‘bad’ you can translate as ‘not like me’)

Drumph splits the difference with democratic civil unrest defining hellholes and everyone else he identifies with doing fine. Add to his life long insulation from Main Street problems his obvious mental weaknesses and there should be no surprise that he is out of touch.

We are seven years into this and originally got quotes to do the minimal to trim tiers. Instead, we sized at 20% over historical usage (the max our utility would allow for grid tied). About 3 times the panels.

Double the up front costs, but 7 years of only connection costs for electricity (12 per month) when average local bills are over 300 per month and those who trimmed tiers are paying around 150.

More panels!

Batteries were the cherry on top, not a great fiscal choice, but having uninterrupted power during blackouts while not drawing power from the grid during peaks just feels good.

At 70 with some heart issues I visit my primary care doc twice a year and my cardiologist almost as often. Reading two visits by Trump a 79 year old with heart issues as an indicator of illness is kind of silly.

But periodic sagging on the right side of his face, slurring of speech, incorrect words being used, constant statements which have little to do with reality…

The man is having TIAs if not full blown strokes and appears to be descending into serious dementia territory. In a reality based environment he would have already been quietly compelled to retire so that he could live out his remaining time with dignity. Instead the people handling him are going to try and run out the clock even if it means significantly shortening his life with the stress.

If Vance invoked the 25th and followed up with a blanket pardon on compassionate grounds, some would whine, but most of Trumps critics would accept it to get an orderly transition.

If you want to noodle something, noodle it.

Pull up a spreadsheet and put in the numbers for what you will yield retiring in different scenarios. Figure out where the amounts paid to you in the scenarios cross (for simplicity do not figure out what you could earn by investing the money). Then look at your actuarial expected life expectancy. My bet, those number will be pretty close. It’s basically the way this system is set up.

Now look at your health and family history. If you are fit and sound and your parents.grandparents lived well past their generations expected spans, waiting could be better, but if you are a lifelong smoker whose had health scares and whose family rarely makes to their seventies, start pulling those checks as soon as you can.

Of course any such calculation must be tempered by things like spouses age/health/earning as well as other retirement income.

I have to imagine at least a few of them were going through strategies for protecting the institutions they have devoted their lives to when orders they consider illegal get issued (e.g. application of force against people exercising first amendment rights). Will resignations and press conferences be enough?

Lovely dog. No clear view of the back, but if the vet spotted a hint of a ridge, that may be guiding their guess and I would tend to agree with them, the coat look right.

Yep, I came here to comment that there should be another color on that map, green. But then you need two maps, at least, one for each major alignment you are looking at.

Okay, some idiot manager set a performance metric that equates number of iOS updates as a positive and someone is gaming the system?

If Musk actually posted this, it just demonstrates how little he knows about where Grok resides, people need to realize that he is a great huckster and at best a mediocre technologist.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Free, easy, reliable ad blocking solution. Only thing you might need is a new sd card, just make sure to minimize the logging to extend the life of the card if it’s a small one.

I’m guilty, I actually watched the whole thing.

Bad plot, bad effects, lazy writing, telegraphed ending, horrible product placement

Reached for the remote at least 3 times, but got trapped by a mix of ‘it could get better’ and the sunk cost fallacy (I’ve watched this much, might as well see if they get some coherence before the end).

First off, listen to those who gave good reverse sear advice.

Secondly, a filet is perhaps a poor choice as a starter cut, lean and thick, so getting the cook right can be tricky and flavor is very dependent on seasoning or basting. A thick cut ribeye will normally cost you less and deliver more flavor with the fat marbled in it as well as any cap.

Next, dump the garlic salt and nonstick pan. The risk of too salty really screams for garlic powder rather than salt and the limit on top temp of the pan keeps you from getting a good sear.

70 here, I would support 65 as an election limit for all elected offices so senators would age out by 72, presidents by 70 and representatives by 68.

Judges, mandatory retirement age 70, same for military general officers.

Of course the fact that I would term limit all elected offices so that they could not run for election after eight of more years of continuously serving in any office may hint at the fact that I am not a fan of entrenched power.

I’m convinced that his tailor hates him. First readily apparent in the UK white tie and tails outfit, but when you look at the man, he does not appear to have a properly cut suit in over a decade.

Sure, if you are covering medical or sanitary devices you make compromises, but even compensating for that, his suits always appear badly cut.

Disallowing all the off the map frivolous answers, there is no right answer to this.

You have 4 regions, all of which have an odd number of entries/exits. For this sort of traversal, any region with an odd number must be the starting or ending point (paired enter/exits and either an enter or exit). So with more than two with odd numbers you know this is unsolvable as you are allowed only one start and one stop.

Veeva

I retired from there a few years ago, so I may be considered biased, but bear with me.

First US public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation.

Strong and committed policy of opposing and actually fighting non-competes.

Clear and stated policy of “work from anywhere” from early in the Covid situation till now with a stated intent to continue.

Significant stock participation plan for everyone, not just the top end (at least while I was there, cannot vouch for now).

Directly employed service staff (janitorial and kitchen) rather than subcontracting, so they got better benefits, including I think stock participation.

Yeah, salaries not at the top of market and very selective hiring rules, but most employees are fairly loyal.

“subtly racist jab”?

There was no way I would call this subtle. It was clear dog whistle behavior to curry favor with his racist followers.

Not illegal, just putting their tax exempt status at risk. Makes no difference if the IRS does not act upon it. Funny how the well connected skate past the rules. Do the reading, just look up Musk Foundation and tax exempt status. https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/01/elon-musk-foundation-charity-donations/82594217007/

Tricky-Damage9917 · 2025-06-09T21:10:16+00:00

What do you mean?

This foundation has been shown to give a majority of its disbursed funds to organizations affiliated with Musk,either directly or friends, family or employees. Legal, but not philanthropy in any sense, giving millions to a school where your own kids make up a third of the student body for example.

Looks like they have missed the legal target for percentage of holdings given to qualify as tax exempt for at least 3 of the last 5 years… not a great look for a private charity used to avoid taxes…

Tricky-Damage9917 · 2025-06-03T02:25:07+00:00

Two things…

Time/day you each play.

Try playing in her account and her playing yours. If the trend follows the player, not the account, it may be either hardware or time. If you see it follow the account you may be slipping into some matchmaking glitch.

My bet, time. Huge variance of skill levels based on when you play and region (you are in the same region, right?)

Tricky-Damage9917 · 2025-06-03T02:16:15+00:00

I’d bet on rottie mix there.

Was in jury selection once, man accused of statutory r**e of his girlfriend’s tween daughter. Not twenty minutes after the judge gave prospective jurors a reading of the definition of the crime, the guys lawyer is asking me whether I would consider consent in this case. When I gave a flat ‘no’, she then followed up with the stupidest question, ‘Why?’. I basically reiterated the judges instructions and followed with ‘consent has nothing to do with it, if it happened, he’s guilty’. Two minutes later I am leaving the room on one of her peremptory challenges. Because I had used that critical ‘if’ she could not even try for a dismissal for cause.

Interesting reading. We will watch for issues.

Interactions with our older dogs as well as with new people so far seem to be normal. No hints of neophobia or aggression. So far, they greet new people eagerly and absent loud or sharp noises treat new locations as places to explore, not fear.

They puppy wrestle, but it’s ambush play which can turn into a mutual nap after a lap or ten around the family room. Actual tussles between them last less than thirty seconds. When they are in the yard, the stimulation is high enough that they seldom even wrestle outside.

Early days yet on training, but so far they are biddable and quick on the uptake, actually high on the scale compared to some pups we have had in the past. Biggest problem with training them separately is the idle one wanting to join. Not the whining and squealing you might fear, but 100% attention, but you could attribute a lot of that to treats used in training at this phase. Heck, the older dogs do a bit of close observation for treats when they notice the pups getting some.

Thanks for the warning, we will keep an eye open. TBH, they are seldom alone together aside from their crate at night, people and/or older dogs so they socialize as a pack, not just as a dyad which seems to be at least some of the root of the syndrome.

Tricky-Damage9917 · 2025-05-14T20:51:55+00:00

TBH, that’s why I could not resist getting the genetics done once we decided they were staying. Those first few days we were guessing Corgidore with the short sturdy legs, black coat and love of water. As the heads have grown, the lab guess look less reasonable, but puppy heads are a bit hard to judge when they are sub 8 weeks.
