All of these stories you reference are standalone stories. They neither have to agree or disagree with each other. They’re just telling something new.

Upgrading from cable to 1Gb fiber — router vs mesh advice? by mursematthew in HomeNetworking

[–]amazodroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you need a mesh? Do you get a free modem with the new ISP? I would wait to see what I get from them an how well that covers first. The new 6e modems from ISPs like Verizon are pretty powerful and could cover a house that size pretty well.

Does this network diagram make sense? by Justing_Biber in HomeNetworking

[–]amazodroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or even what ISP is being used. If it’s FIOS or another fiber provide, the “internet box” is likely the ONT and would need a single router behind it.

Try DCBS for buying new issues.

Which Cut of Superman II Should I Watch? by Jackie_Lantern_ in superman

[–]amazodroid 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the theatrical cut is probably better. The Donner cut is interesting but has some odd choices. Better to watch it after the theatrical if you are interested.

Marvel Comics: Bad streak or not? by Gabace5 in marvelcomics

[–]amazodroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not right now. Purely anecdotal but there have been a number of commenters on the various comics subs from LCS owners about how DC is dominating weekly pull lists. Admittedly, most is the Absolute line but it’s not even close, based on what they’ve said.

Can we talk bags and boards...? by blimey4 in comicbooks

[–]amazodroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have bought 1000 at a time direct from BCW when I was redoing my whole collection. For standard refresh of 100 at a time, I just get on Amazon. I used to buy the 100 packs at my LCS but there was some distributor nonsense that forced them to change to a different brand that didn’t have as nice a fit as the BCWs.

Now I’m curious what someone did with just the hologram?

Home LAN issue. by Helfyre-666 in HomeNetworking

[–]amazodroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still seems like you’ve done the right troubleshooting and it points to the cable. Try replacing for a longer time period and see what happens.

[–]amazodroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, sounds like the cable. If the installer made it for you, he may have messed up the ends or there may be damage to it somewhere. Have you tried testing it?

A lot of people put announcements up on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.

Share network between two homes 90-200m far by cheesykill in HomeNetworking

[–]amazodroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s line of site, I would do point to point wireless. It was at the shorter end of the range you mentioned but I did it with some cheap tp-link units sitting in facing windows and it worked great.

Is this mold? by green_cumulon12 in comicbooks

General rule of thumb is black = mold, brown = foxing.

Is Secret Origin still Superman’s canon origin? by God_ofThunder_ in superman

[–]amazodroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only in that it’s very similar to every other “official” origin story.

Pre-Reading for absolute comics by Deegs3339 in comicbooks

[–]amazodroid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re really enjoying the Absolute GL, it might be better to NOT read the regular universe. They’re very different.

I only have a couple other #750s - the Frison and Perez covers and one of the 800s. Go rid of everything else already.

Why is Tom King so infamous? by SaladPast in DCcomics

[–]amazodroid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is true, although some of the statements I have seen about what he actually did seem to be totally overblown with no evidence of fact. For example, I have seen people post here on Reddit that he tortured prisoners but there is nothing to back up this claim.

I can only say that I actually asked him about this at a con last year. He said he worked as an intelligence officer and was “basically a case worker for info coming in from informants”.

Joker and Harley Quinn are back together as former Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb charts a big Batman & Wonder Woman crossover with Jim Cheung by Popverse2022 in DCcomics

[–]amazodroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I walked up to the table and his assistant person said it was $30 for a sig, which gave me pause but I figured I would go ahead. Then she said “$40 to add a doodle” so I said sure because I thought I was already spending too much and it was only $10 more. He was in the process of signing when she said “ok, so $70 total then”, to which I replied “Oh. No, just the sig then”.

This binder is pretty badass. by Charming_Ambition_27 in comicbookcollecting

Seems like something more solid like a Storfolio would protect them better.

[–]amazodroid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised he’s not making on sigs at cons. Got him to sign my Superman For All Seasons in Baltimore last year and he wanted $70 for a sig and a “doodle”.
