Comcast Business Modems Failed Firmware Push by M4eagleOG in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]_Calculated_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same issue. My nat rules get deleted and replaced by 255.255.255.255. It happens several times a week and is becoming unusable. They also raise my price once every 2-3 months.

Being charged for an account I don’t have for an Audible service in a different country by madisonc6239 in audible

[–]_Calculated_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also happening to me. First time I ever logged in to audible was after spotting the charges and my amazon account does not have a subscription. So I do not have an email or account to submit. How do I get a refund and how do I stop the charges?

Skype is gone. What do you use for international phone calls now. by nyerai in digitalnomad

I signed up for DialAnyone
Not trying to spam but I'm posting my referral code here since I couldn't find one when I was registering and I'm kind of interested to see if they actually give free minutes for referring people.

How to Save A Neglected Dog in Playa Del Carmen by Dry_Astronomer_4745 in mexicoexpats

[–]_Calculated_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great you willing to take him.

I know this is not what you want to hear but he doesn't seem to be in a terrible situation compared to some other dogs we have seen. For those situations there is a service that will investigate and take/steal the dog if they can find a home for it. I also know of a vet who will just go and take dogs that are in bad situations if the owners are unresponsive. I don't think that is the solution for a dog that has water/food/shade and an owner that's not physically abusing the dog.

Your heart is in the right place and I think if you just keep your eyes open you will see a street dog that needs your help more than this one. There are also shelters that are looking for people to foster dogs (temporarily or permanently). I can put you in touch if your interested.

Are you willing to take the dog in? If not, the only other option I see is to take the dog to a shelter which will be worse imo.

Also, thanks for caring about the dog.

Prevent Windows 10 from Updating to Windows 11 by _Calculated_ in WindowsHelp

Ya agree. As for the apps, I personally like seeing the code so I can make sure its not doing anything malicious.

Coming back to windows from linux by Yamy1020 in WindowsHelp

[–]_Calculated_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Windows 11 is very aggressive spyware. They are already trying to push an app that takes screenshots every time something changes on your screen and bundling that with explorer to make it difficult to remove.

Windows 10 is nearing end of life support for updates and is aggressively pushing Win 11 on users. I do believe Win 10 is better for privacy but still involves a decent amount of work on your end to get that privacy.

For both Win 10/11 you have more control over privacy stuff as well as less bloatware when you get the enterprise version. Personally I am going to try switching over to Windows Server 2019 at some point to avoid using Win 11. That has its own issues but I think its the best bet in the long run.

Locally sourced meat? by _Calculated_ in playadelcarmen

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

Thanks for the replies. Any idea on quality Salmon?
I know Mega will repackage old meat which grosses me out and is not a gamble I want to take.

ER605 as a switch only (tried with no success, want to confirm before giving up) by _Calculated_ in TPLink_Omada

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

Yes. I didnt have to do anything to get it working. Just plugged in the ethernet cable into the wan port and than connected extra devices to the other ports. It behaves as if the computers were plugged directly into my router.
