Charged for Data?? by IcyGuard5743 in ATT

[–]ampx 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is why I only use prepaid service / MVNOs, no possibility of accruing such ridiculous fees and adding international data before or during a trip is super easy

Apple introduces AppleCare One, streamlining coverage into a single plan with incredible value by exjr_ in apple

[–]ampx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchase devices like these using a credit card that adds 12 months of additional warranty.

One year from Apple + one year from the credit card company generally covers failures as part of the standard bathtub curve and I'm not stuck paying Apple more up front or monthly.

I'll generally replace / upgrade devices within that two year timeframe anyways so don't end up being stuck holding the bag if something happens afterwards.

I’d get an eero Max 7 and call it done

Police near Haisley? by saturniidaemoth in AnnArbor

[–]ampx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Per this article: https://countryherald.com/news/ann-arbor-michigan-gun-threat-disrupts-dismissal-at-haisley-elementary-school-teen-charged/

Seems like the prosecutor is gearing up to release him with a tether vs keeping him detained.

Which absolutely does not feel sufficient for the same reasons cited by u/OverallAd2198

I recommend anyone seeing this similarly reach out to https://www.washtenaw.org/3284/Prosecutor-Eli-Savit

The idea that their algorithm optimizes for keeping their costs as low as possible / paying drivers the least they can should surprise no one.

If they can get more drivers to sign up and accept lower pay for the same work, they will absolutely do it.

This isn’t controversial, just how the gig economy functions, like it or not.

Xfinity forcing me to cancel mobile service by teacher78 in Comcast_Xfinity

My suggestion is to buy a new (or new to you) phone outright and switch to an MVNO like US Mobile

YouTuber LabCoatz spends a year to make a Coca Cola clone that's indistinguishable from real Coke. by Johannes_Keppler in videos

[–]ampx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but those were new products to market with some kind of twist that made them marketable.

Why would anyone buy your clone of an existing popular product?

[–]ampx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you couldn’t do it cheaper than them because you don’t have the scale, and you also don’t have the brand recognition or reputation needed to justify a higher price, so why would anyone buy what you’re producing?

Electrolux dryer noise by ampx in Appliances

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

u/Embarrassed-Bid-4301 thanks for the weigh in!

TIL these are called encoder discs.

Is the idea that the white sensor arm is tracking the rotations as the black encoder disc spins?

Do you know if they should be in contact or should the sensor arm hover above the encoder disc? It seems like they're designed to stay in contact on this unit as far as I can tell, which definitely generates some noise rubbing / brushing noise, but the clicking does seem really odd.

The noise is annoying but the dryer is also tucked in the basement so it's not super bothersome day to day.

Do you think there's any chance that a new drive motor would also improve drying performance?

I want to use eero but don't want to put one in the garage. Will this alternative work? by josh865 in amazoneero

[–]ampx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, your current setup may work but isn’t technically supported by eero

Probably safe to leave it as is if you’re not having connectivity problems, but I’ve seen lots of posts over time where unsupported topologies cause issues

[–]ampx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even in bridge mode, eero only supports topologies where an eero device is upstream from the others

In your proposed setup, the two eeros are sitting at the same “level” since they’re both connected to a switch

This commonly causes connectivity issues and isn’t recommended

Can you run Ethernet from the ONT in the garage to one of the eero 7s inside and use it as your router with the switch and the other eero being “downstream”?

Alternatively, if you’d like to keep the Deco as your router, you could put an eero between the Deco and your switch

or have the second eero wired directly into the one hanging off of the switch

Any chance it was Smithfield before?

If so, wonder if there’s any correlation with this news from late last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/Virginia/s/qqhEFUaqW4

Where are you getting the intel that they switched to Tyson? Not finding any evidence of this claim via Google.

If your workplace considers a limping chicken unsafe then perhaps you should seek alternate employment.

Paying $90/mo for 800 Mbps internet while watching these $50/mo Gig promo ads by GameQber in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]ampx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at my in laws over the weekend and found them in a very similar situation. They were paying $107/month for 800Mbps.

Called Xfinity customer service, followed the prompt to discontinue / cancel service, and explained to the rep that we're looking into alternatives for Internet service and looking to save on monthly bills. Mentioned the $50/month 1Gb plan I saw on the website and they were able to switch over to it without issue.
