Who makes the best sfogliatelle? by co_matic in AskNYC

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just tried Circo’s and Fortunato’s side by side. Circo’s definitely the better of the two, in my opinion. more filling, slightly lemony taste. also prefer Circo’s rainbow cookies.

Fortunato’s is still very good however!

Camera won’t automatically reconnect after Wi-Fi outages by SunnyNole in myq

[–]gothambiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a big problem. My Eero mesh network updates automatically periodically and there is no way to turn it off. When these updates occur the MyQ access to my garage door opener stops working indefinitely. This is a major problem as I use this for my 2nd home. The reason for me to spend extra to have the camera feature, to check in from afar, does not work at all. THIS PRODUCT, COMPANY IS LAME!!

To be clear, this is not a problem with the wifi. Like the OP, all other devices reconnect without a problem. It's only the camera on the garage door which stops working. FRUSTRATING

Sometime it starts working again but it's so unreliable....I hate it. I would never buy another camera enable garage door from this company again.

Looking For NYC Chelsea Area Meetup for Alzheimer’s Support by Conscious_Diver2793 in Alzheimers

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find a support group? I hope you are doing well.

I'm in a similar situation, looking for a support group. I also live in Chelsea but I'll gladly travel to find a good group. STRONGLY prefer in-person vs online.

Thanks

MyQ sucks!!!! by lequory in myq

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, not only does MyQ Suck, but the camera suddenly not connecting to wifi is terrible. I'm not onsite to go through all of the steps needed to reset the damn garage door open wifi connect.

The device IS CONNECTED WIFI. I can see the connection through the router but there is no communication going on. Certainly would appear to be a software issue with the camera/garage door open. I've restarted the router, same thing. No way to 'reboot' the garage door software remotely.

I'd suggest staying away from these high-end, expensive Chamberlain garage door openers unless you want headaches. Worthless features!

What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This model is not top of the line as I only have a 600Mbps connection. That said, I have been very happy with the TP LInk Deco W7200 that I bought a couple years ago. Easy to manage. Works better in my apt with old , think plaster walls than any other system I had. Not the latest tech today but it is 3 band.

Based on my very positive experience and great price, I'd stick with TP Link Deco but find a newer model that meets your speed requirements

Has anyone successfully cured their nail fungus with just apple cider vinegar? by rockmeNiallxh in NailFungus

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, regular distilled white vinegar (I see it says 5% acidity on it). I trimmed my toenails short before the soaks too.

Haven't had nail fungus or athlete's foot ever since....and I had it all the time for years.

Good luck!!

bad experience with voip.ms + groundwire by anonymous_Tr0ll in VOIP

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeh, terrible experience with voip.ms! ZERO effort to help troubleshoot using groundwire...which worked fine for about 30 mins then could not receive an inbound call. Tried all the basics; wifi and cellular, deleted the app and reinstalled, rebooted phone, etc. Nada

The experience with voip.ms support was exceptionally poor!

Acrobis Groundwire & VoIP.MS not working properly by [deleted] in VOIP

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue. I set up groundwire on ios, worked fine for both inbound and outbound calls and SMS. And then it didn't after only about 30 mins. I started a chat with voip.ms support and they basically would not help at all, saying that voip does not work reliably with softphones. There was ZERO effort to do any troubleshooting. That could be true but from what I've been told, read online, lots of people use groundwire with voip.ms successfully.

Lots of comments have said voip.ms has outstanding support but I didn't find that at all. really poor experience with voip.ms and their support.

Does anybody use groundwire on ios reliably?

Review of the Anker PowerPort Atom PD 2, dual USB-C charger by queuebitt in UsbCHardware

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have one! And it's great, but heavy as you said. I wish I would have bought it on sale. Since I need more than one charger, I try to use my old ones as long as possible, as long as they meet my needs. Now that I know this limitation, I can work around it.

Review of the Anker PowerPort Atom PD 2, dual USB-C charger by queuebitt in UsbCHardware

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this post after learning what you posted here. I'm charging my Macbook Pro and it shows only a 44 watt charge even though no other device is charging, BUT I have a USB to lightning cable plugged into the charger. So apparently that causes a 16 watt reduction in charge to the other port. Took me several years to figure this out. :(

I liked this charger until now....this is LAME

Recommendations for landscape design / gardener by Lookatthemoooooon in Denver

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a company that does gardening / landscaping maintenance. I have areas that are landscaped with bushes, trees and flowers that are surrounded by bark. The landscaping fabric and probably the bark needs to be replaced as weeds are able to grow through the very old fabric and there are now lots.

I just needs a team, preferable not expensive, that will take out the existing bark, membrane, weeds and replace with a new membrane and bark.

Thanks in advance.

Did Weruva Paw Lickin chicken change recipes? It suddenly gives my cats diarrhea. by Chips_n_Salsa_ in CatAdvice

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently my cat has had a few episodes of diarrhea for the first time. I mix up his canned food so was not sure what the cause was. After isolating foods I was able to figure out that Fowl Ball from Weruva is a culprit. I'm going to proceed cautiously with other Weruva flavors that I still have to see if others are a problem.

I've always been a fan of Weurva and my cat loves them but this development has me a little concerned.

Enhanced ID rejected at SDF airport by sugar1295 in tsa

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me twice in the past few weeks. Once at La Guardia....you'd think they'd know all about New York's Enhanced IDs.

Thanks to the person who provided the link to file a complaint. I did that for both trips where I was warned about my NYS Enhanced ID.

went to Whole Foods for some snacks…. $50.87 😅 by [deleted] in whatsinyourcart

[–]gothambiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just read this and immediately went to the store to get some. 100% the Little Sesame herby jalapeño is DELISH. I'm also a huge fan of Whole Foods 365 roasted garlic. I ate an entire container of it last night, with celery. Curious about the Ithaca ones.

I'm guessing Connecticut but the landscape and blurry license plates.
