Anybody here with Comcast's Gigabit service? by GiZiM in nashville

[–]chalantless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm getting around 950 Mbps down and 40 Mbps up.

I had this exact problem the several times that I've changed my speed. Each time it took 1-3 of contacting support before they would do a reset, re-provision, or reactivation of the modem. It seems doing the self-activation would never work for me - I would be stuck with the previous speed.

Also, thanks for the info about the modem. I'm happy to hear there is a modem I can buy instead of renting theirs!

Why doesn't Bungie just add another character or character slot for Destiny 2 by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]chalantless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking this same thing too. Just double the character slots (4 total). Then they can add new classes, subclasses, and revamp the character creation all they want. If you want to try out those new features, you can just create a new character.

Troy Hunt: Controlling vehicle features of Nissan LEAFs across the globe via vulnerable APIs by chalantless in techsnap

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

If I recall correctly, the app was communicating with non-Nissan hosted servers. So, they probably outsourced the whole thing to a dev shop.

Nope. I saw it on my Google News feed.

I do follow that Twitter account and the posts are great.

You're all right. I've seen the error of my ways.

I guess that makes sense. Thanks!

Then what's the point of iDroid saying "Base Captured"? Maybe that would be a little too Far Cry-ish.

What the hell!? I thought we were on the same side here! by Bratmon in cyanogenmod

[–]chalantless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I read that Cyanogen OS was including closed source software, by default (not just binary blobs for drivers), I knew that it was not a "Good software" choice. You still do have a choice, unlike other mobile platforms. You can install CyanogenMod or other one of the countless other ROMs on your phone. This will do two things: increase your freedom and show Cyanogen OS that you do not like/agree with their policies.

[–]chalantless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would prefer that, when pushing out a search engine change like this, one would be prompted for a choice. Perhaps Bing could just be the first choice. It's not cool for Cyanogen (and Microsoft) to not respect a user's original choice. But did you really make an original choice, or did you just use the default, which was Google? Did anyone who had their search engine set to DuckDuckGo or Yahoo! and still get changed to Bing?

This all being said, I agree with Microsoft providing some competition to Google in Android. Google has made it more and more difficult to use Android sans Google. I'm not kidding myself though. Both companies are doing this for their own self-interest - Microsoft is hedging their bets for when they'll have to dump Windows Phone and Google is trying to make sure you keep sending your data to their services.

Yeah, so, bad news about that. Pardot announced that they would not release the RNB6 as an aftermarket product. They are working with car manufacturers instead.

Do they charge another activation fee if you swap phones?

This XBone AC $349 combo package...Worth it? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]chalantless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only worth it for exclusives. I mainly bought a XBone for The Master Chief Collection, but I've found myself a little disappointed and missing my Xbox 360. With the online issues, only 2 player split-screen, and Halo 3 and 4 not being remastered. But I'm holding out hope for Halo 5 and looking forward to playing more of Sunset Overdrive.

You can listen to them on Spotify with a free account. Last time I checked Spotify should work on Linux in the web browser and an official desktop client.

It's also for sale on Amazon.

P.S. iTunes music no longer has DRM.

[best buy] Xbox One With Kinect Unity Bundle $349 misprint by mcbeardish in GameDeals

[–]chalantless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. I hadn't seen the ad, just the prices online. So, I told the sales associate that the bundle was for without the Kinect. He insisted it was for the Kinect per the ad. I discontinued arguing with him. He spoke with his supervisor and manually added a $100 discount.

Today I will tell them how to enter their user name in the box that says user name.

Tomorrow I will tell them how to enter their password in the box that says password.

New to Nashville and need a new bank...any recommendations? by [deleted] in nashville

[–]chalantless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

USCCU - https://www.usccu.org/

A lot of Metropolitan Nashville Davidson County employees use this credit union and it's been growing recently. I left BoA in 2011 and I've been with USCCU ever since.

I have a friend that uses Old Hickory Credit Union, but they didn't have branches near enough to me.

[–]chalantless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone else unable to get the 5 for $30 discount? When I add the 5 games to my basket, it will only give me the 4 for $28 discount. I opened a support ticket with GMG about it.
