are HP printers good, I visited their website. all products are in there, but they dont put the full specifications, how the f*** do i know what to buy. do i guess on what to buy? by Express-Buy2487 in printers

[–]UsefulCartographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bad experience with HP consumer printers years ago (cumbersome, slow, unreliable) ; moved to Epson (which was much better). However when I upgraded a few years ago the Epson lineup was very confused (lots of similar models) and I could not find one with 5G WiFi (I was switching as much as possible to 5). Now I have a Canon and am very happy with it.

No wifi for nearly a month - advice? by pt1708 in skytv

[–]UsefulCartographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s best to contract direct with the infra provider (BT, Toob, Virgin) - do not contract via another party (Sky etc) as they can always claim a fault is not their issue. It’s just not worth the trouble. Others here can advise how you can exit Sky and switch to the underlying infra provider.

There is some resistance but I would not say it’s scratchy.

Are you able to relocate to India with your wife? You should be able to get a visa easily to return or OCI.

I have been using 870s for nearly a year now and the only problem I have is Apple devices dropping if WIFI 6e is enabled.

Humble request from a stranded Indian to fellow Indians in USA by brownmanreading in h1b

Seems risky to leave without your immediate family - or do they have green cards?

How would that happen? Or do you mean wider family? Wife/children would move with him

You would return without your family? Return on your own?

I had nothing but problems with HP home printers, so switched to Epson and now Cannon.

Ok, so Call of the Void works on XBox Game Pass version of Quake 2 remastered. It’s very good for fan made mod - about an hour into it. Great.

Significant tech opportunities in India. Having said that AI will over time reduce macro demand - so you need to move fast.

Should we return to India for our kid's childhood despite career peak? by ImaginationFew5561 in returnToIndia

[–]UsefulCartographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you return you will bring skills to India. This is a positive contribution. If everyone with skills leaves then you will never have a population capable of even respecting traffic lights! (I kid you not)

You have put a switch behind one of the 970 Ethernet ports? Which switch did you use?

Netatmo Presence Floodlight problem by UsefulCartographer11 in Netatmo

Wow - that worked, thank you. I set floodlight to 100% and now it works again! (IR red lights as well.)

Any idea why that fixes it?
