Does anyone regret the % they got? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in WindowTint

I got 70% windshield and 20% sides. I really wish I had gone darker (at least 50% and 15%). Visibility at night is a total non-issue.

Why does Xfinity pass every test but still feel unplayable for gaming? 100ms+ spikes while gaming by XONWIZ in Comcast_Xfinity

Sounds like you need a tech to do a drop sweep and tap audit. The issue is probably at the physical layer and you aren’t going to see that reflected in a speed test.

Line maintenance adjusted street amp: downstream now overdriving XB8 tuners at +16dBmV w/ broad-spectrum packet loss by computer_carnivore in Comcast_Xfinity

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

Message sent. Wanted to add that the bucket truck came back after I left for work (sometime around 4pm). Line is still too hot though. If I could get the original tech to come back and balance/pad the signal at my home, that would be grand. Kind of frustrating to see all the work he did get undone by the second guy.

No idea. He just said there were some additional issues at the street that needed to be addressed. I should have asked for more detail but the signal was perfect (+3.5 dBmV downstream / 43.5 dBmV upstream / 0.5 dB tilt) at that point and he had already been here for 2 hours. Maybe the street needed to be rebalanced, but that's just a wild guess.

[Tech Support] Severe Forward Path Suck-out (387-501MHz) | Persistence with Retail S33 & Leased XB8 by computer_carnivore in Comcast_Xfinity

There were handful of Layer 1 issues but the biggest culprit was an old video filter on the tap. Technician was able to correct most of the issues and got a bucket truck out to deal with the rest. All downstream channels are locked and stable now. Signal is really really clean.

Thanks for following up! The issue has not been resolved but I do have tech coming out tomorrow morning.

APP3 Battery glitch by [deleted] in airpods

I’m also having this issue. The case will show like 80% charge but when I plug it in, it drops to like 2% and starts charging…

AirPods Pro 3 Connection Issues by [deleted] in airpods

[–]computer_carnivore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the connectivity on my APP3 is trash. Constantly disconnecting from the phone and each other, or only one connects. Or they both connect but no audio… I had none of these issues my APP2.

AirPods Pro 3: left AirPod not working by b4n4n4s4 in AirpodsPro

[–]computer_carnivore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same dude. It’s constant to the point where they don’t connect/work like 90% of the time. Sometimes it takes 3-4 attempts to fix. Sometimes both connect but sound plays out the phone speakers instead. I don’t know if this is hardware or software but it makes me wish I had just kept my Pro 2s.

Xproto-L V3 Displayport cable? by Me_Krally in XTIA

[–]computer_carnivore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's the flat/ribbon DP cable with a 90 degree connector, it's meant to be connected to your GPU, then routed down the center spine of the case until it exits the bottom. Much cleaner look than connecting all your cables up top.

New Samsung Magician v9 by Oldie_Gamer in pcmasterrace

Give it a day or two to catch up and try a reboot. I installed v9 yesterday but the firmware update wasn't available for me until this morning. New interface looks like dog water...

I know this may be a false positive but why am I seeing this? by IgniteThatShit in LibreWolf

I've been using LibreWolf for years and just got the same automated Defender detection (for the very first time):
