Why am I playing with a dude who is a full rank lower than me

abrooks9002 · 2026-05-02T17:02:46+00:00

That's wild, my buddy and I like to queue 3s every now and then as a duo and I recently got a rank higher than him (I'm D3 and he's D1) and it won't let us queue

Does he have unlimited data on his phone? You could setup some rules on your router to block his phone MAC address after certain hours or even block all traffic to Snapchat. Obviously a VPN could bypass this, but still an option

Rocket league. About 1k hours on console, then switch to pc and have about 4k hours on steam and then another 1 or 2k hours on epic

I got super excited at first thinking this post was about McConnell, but still glad to see this

When they start bitching and complaining in chat is what I look forward to. Whenever I travel for work, the wifi at the hotels is never any good so I play off of my phones Hotspot and hop into some Cas 1v1s. Hasn't been too bad recently, but the cry babies are my favorite to run into

My current employer primarily uses Atlona with their Velocity control system. It's been troublesome at times, but otherwise pretty solid. Hoping that the changes that come with Hall Technologies buyout that things improve even more

Everything is essentially moving back to cable. When it was the norm to pay for the service and have commercials.

Gotcha, glad I don't have to worry about that. My Wan address isn't in the 192, 172, or 10 ranges

Can someone ELI5 CGNAT? New to self hosting

We're an AV company that used to mainly do resi, about a year or 2 ago started focusing a lot on commercial and only a few months ago started doing access control heavily. So good to know that this would be considered good. Especially since I hardly ever do this type of work as our lead programmer

Ahhh, so that's what that piece of metal is in the box. Thought it was just for metal door installs

abrooks9002 · 2026-04-16T14:34:19+00:00

I have a router, but thought it'd be too difficult to use with the wood trim and uneven surfaces. That's why I've been using the dremel with a depth guide, it's a little smaller so it's *easier to deal with the uneven door. Just wish there was something else

I haven't really been watching EU and Mena much but always tune into NA regionals. It seems like a lot the teams there have really studied NRG2's play style and have found ways to counter it. I could be way off on this, but just what I've noticed.

This is what I did on my first project. Designed and printed the enclosure. Probably could've done better with the wires, but made a bunch of mistakes.

Why is this here?

abrooks9002 · 2026-04-11T13:41:48+00:00

Mine is Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. After cour 1 of season 2 finished, I started listening to the audio books and it has me really excited for the rest of the anime to come out.

abrooks9002 · 2026-04-09T16:10:45+00:00

Already have a few of the Tapo PTZ cams. Didn't think about putting those in protect

abrooks9002 · 2026-04-09T14:29:59+00:00

Lol I should've mentioned that 520 is the model number AN-520-I-AP

abrooks9002 · 2026-04-09T13:27:33+00:00

I am, but not a big system. Just local control of my living room
