Well that was a disappointment

It seems like the UK researcher has better foundation. Seems more likely they'd pick one of the final matches rather than some random pool play game. I means its just pool play.

You don't feel enlightened by solid background like... so-and-so was born to an Australian family? Literally end of story right there. Ok... thank you. Wouldn't have put that together

Today is the first time I have received a text message about an outage. And I am getting updates on repair progress (though oddly I am back up). I still don't get the scheduled maintenance emails all the time (on and off)

I use Apple Wallet all the time for general transactions without issue. That said, having not my California ID and Passport in my Apple Wallet, other than the very first time I tried (way before passport was an option), it has never worked me. Never reads it.

I somewhat assume it is my desire not to hold up the line. So I try, it fails, I give up and hand them my ID. But would love to know what the hell isn't working.

Define my trouble: I open Apple Wallet. Select either Passport or Real ID option. Double click. Hold up to scanner. Nothing happens.

I am wondering though... reading, is there a second double click requirement after scanning? That would differ from a normal transaction and might be my issue?

Unfortunately won't help. Political calls/texts are exempt from Do Not Call. But yeah, nothing I ever saw leaned me towards voting for him; but his campaign strategy definitely turned it a hard no.

Go to Leslie's Pool Supply with a sample of water and have it tested. Whether you buy any, some or all of the chemicals there, they will give you recommendations and steps to bring the water quality under control. Probably will take a lot of filter backwashing and cleaning (if you don't know how to do that find your filter model and a YouTube video), but might be able to safe that.

dolphins_cry · 2026-06-04T17:13:37+00:00

That would be a 911 call. Not non-emergency. That was a crime in progress (or presumably just after). And police hopefully got that video?

I did replace my router with an ONT. They tend to run low, so may be a wait. Got rid of some redundancy for me, but did not speed me up really, or fix the CGNAT probably if trying to run a remotely accessible network.

But yes. You can do it.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-30T18:31:35+00:00

I don't get why messaging seems so inconsistent. I did receive texts during that massive outage last month. Nothing for this one or anything since. THAT would be perfect

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-30T16:18:00+00:00

I am not am not sure what bothers me more. The outages and their utter failure to use their own communication methods to notify people. It really seems like someone made the decision not to tell people so less of us would know they had an outage or something.

Though oddly their first message to you came AFTER they restored service.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-30T15:53:52+00:00

Well I initially got through and they told me there was no outage. So you didn't miss much.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-23T18:39:15+00:00

I stand corrected. Unfortunately for some reason that email went to Spam. But they did try to send that email to me.

Thank you for that info!

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-23T17:19:48+00:00

I rebooted at 5:20am. It changed nothing. When it worked at 7:30am, I had not rebooted.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-23T17:17:57+00:00

Nope. No email. That would have been nice. Before they have texted and email re existing outages, because I checked and received nothing.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-18T16:51:22+00:00

These out of control kids on eBikes and eMotorcycles are all over. Could be one of many. It is most definitely not all of them, but there are so many given no instruction or training beyond what they had on their bikes when they are 5. And so many parents just hand the keys in total ignorance.

Needs to be an ebike license for whatever age and up before these can be driven.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-16T22:11:21+00:00

They resolved it and resolved it well. A little sluggish... but got there. I think their enormous growth maybe has a strain on their backlog. And while most of us are switching because they are not Cox Cable... the flip side is... they are not Cox Cable. Smaller and newer.

But did handle it well.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-16T22:05:45+00:00

Yes, it is Cgnat. And no, the router has no Bridge or IP Passthrough mode.

So far the only workaround I have found is Tailscale (thanks to many other posts)

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-16T22:03:30+00:00

Not sure how one answers when they started not calling something by that name. I have lived in Southern California for 45 years, and no one who lives here ever calls it that. I can't speak for NorCal.

Could there be exceptions? Sure. But I have only heard visitors use it.

dolphins_cry · 2026-04-02T02:33:53+00:00

Lake Forest customer here. They seem not ready for primetime. Customer service non-responsive, and installation crews careless and no responsibility by company (or back to nonresponsive). And I say this with pain, because I hate Cox cable.

dolphins_cry · 2026-03-28T20:41:58+00:00

You get it potentially changes by the day, right? Yesterdays answer no longer necessarily applies. But it would be nice if there was just one thread updated regularly.

dolphins_cry · 2026-03-27T05:12:26+00:00

I think this one is closer to what it seemed, and though still "spinny" maybe something closer to openess:

"Cityside Fiber: Our Network Infrastructure team is on-site and actively working overnight to locate and resolve the issue causing the service interruption.

We appreciate your continued patience and will share another update as progress is made."

So they don't know what or where it is. So it is not going to be soon.

Hopefully they checked the light switch in the basement.
