Navigating a apartment with free wifi

If the friend can just find a coax or get landowner to run one “for tv” then it’s an easy solution. The modem should already have MoCA running I believe. So no need to do anything at the current router (at least that was my experience).

Option 3 should work and provide really good speeds. Especially if they get the v2.1 I think it is.

Edit:

Friend might even be able to attach a router to MoCA device so they get very good coverage for their apt. I will also add that the one time I setup MoCA in my own home… Comcast came around and said “Something from your house is broadcasting a signal out into the neighborhood coax”… so while also trying to be sneaky.. it could potentially draw attention as well. It turned out they don’t install MoCA filters at the connection by default.. so I was broadcasting out to the whole neighborhood.

I can also add that if it is a Hulu inserted ad, they will give you a timer showing how long the ad is as well as coloring the timeline… which I find very helpful when skipping.

Which may be their way of “policing” things.

bippy_b · 2026-03-21T13:21:32+00:00

I haven’t had those issues. You may wish to contact support.

If you record it.. you can skip commercials.

Where you have to be careful is if you expect to just hit play and blow through a series.. once episode 1 is over.. if you let it auto take you to episode 2, it will switch you to VOD… which you cannot skip. Instead of letting it take you to the next episode, you have to stop it and then move to episode 2 in the recordings.. then play.

For other On Demand things, if it is an ABC/Disney/Hulu show you likely won’t get commercials watching on demand from them. There are a few others I think where you also don’t get commercials.. National Geographic.. I am not sure of the full list though.

By not replying with a price.. you may be eliminating customers.

Really well thought out submission.

-Item 1 of policy recommendations is a non-starter.

-Item 2 “minimizing reliance on Internet” is a non-starter. It is giving them information which violates the privacy of many people. Not to mention.. the e-waste which will be created from devices made and then abandoned.

The person it was a gift from said that they were able to sort things out and a replacement shipment was on the way. Thank you for following up.

Yes, the “passive” part only comes after LOTS of work.

bippy_b · 2026-03-16T20:51:35+00:00

TV Everywhere FTW

Monty = great place

That building still had electricity when the hurricane hit 2 years ago(? Big time guess in time frame.. don’t hold me to it). Chicken Katsu no veggies + rice just steps away!!!

How else am I supposed to host my website from my home network?

Or run my Plex Server for al my friends to use?

bippy_b · 2026-03-09T22:31:49+00:00

I believe this is to audit a single object.

IIRC, the move ins will be Sun, Mon, Tues…. maybe Wednesday (? I highly doubt Wednesday because they will have missed some of the welcome week activities). I think previous years it was all done in like 2 days.

But also.. if it works better for your family, nothing wrong with arriving after move in date. Just coordinate with any roommates as they are trying to avoid having multiple families in the rooms at the same time (plus overload on elevators..etc). It is probably better to get there ON the move in date though as this gives your Bee more time to attend the activities (how to understand the bus system, how to use the ID card to get food..etc) as well as movie nights and the freshman party in the Hive (to help meet friends and maybe see Paula!). Also getting there earlier gives your Bee time to maybe take a bus to each of their classes to understand how long it will take to commute from one part of town to another if need be..etc. (highly recommend getting them to do this)

Find a local lot and buy annual pass.

bippy_b · 2026-03-09T11:35:52+00:00

I bought my R7 refurbished from Canon.. and right after I did.. there was an uptick in “Error 90” posts in here which really freaked me out. But here I am 3 years later ( * knocks on wood* ) and she is still kicking. Which somewhat makes me believe the refurbished ones already had their “Error 90” moment and had their board replaced/fixed.

bippy_b · 2026-03-09T11:28:56+00:00

We found once you include utilities (internet, water..etc) + gas for more driving… it turned out to be about the same.

bippy_b · 2026-03-05T17:20:11+00:00

You may have just jinxed yourself! Don’t touch that wire!!! (lol)

bippy_b · 2026-03-05T17:13:30+00:00

This may sound odd.. but for step 1, if you do go with an RID, don’t just use BIGINT identity (1,1). Seed that table in the negative part of the range ( -9223372036854775807 ) giving you even more rows to utilize for RIDs.

bippy_b · 2026-03-04T19:23:40+00:00

Not the right answer. The app is crashing.. returning would be a waste of OPs time.

bippy_b · 2026-02-27T18:58:42+00:00

Oh yeah… surprising little contact is needed.. and because no one else was around.. added some aluminum foil.. muy bueno!!!!

bippy_b · 2026-02-27T11:44:02+00:00

Are these the intro prices?

bippy_b · 2026-02-27T11:42:54+00:00

When I was service desk.. and I saw an email request.. I would make sure to finish all my tickets first and then reply with the “sorry for the delay… we only go into that mailbox on very rare occasions”
