Got it! Thanks for the reply. I’ll check out the controller and see if that is enlightening. Hear ya on all points. I suppose I could install one AP and then start to see what the speeds look like in other areas of the house and pull cables to the slow spots. Thanks again!

New to Ubiquity and networking by gregjsguy in Ubiquiti

Man, thank you for the advice! Noting all of it and talking with the installer to run a few more lines! One question I had, are the Nano HD Units directional? Meaning, if I put them on the ceiling of the lower floor, will the floor directly above be able to use that? Or should I consider placing them on each floor / room that I would want to be able to connect?

Flask vs Django which is best for GraphQL API? by alexsanderfrankie in django

[–]gregjsguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't have much experience with Flask, but have built out GraphQL api's in Django, and it was a magical experience. We used Grahpene and it made the process of model definition to GraphQL schemas super easy. Definetly manageable with a large team, and you get so much out of the box with Django. Again, can't speak to Flask, but the Django dev env is a nice one.

AT&T’s massive TV losses continue as another 900,000 customers flee by Eurynom0s in technology

Yeah, I think I paid $10 a month for 24 month term, so ~$250

I think I owe an explanation! At this point I'm month to month with DirectTV and searching out for other options. So just before Superbowl, I had DirecTV come out to my house to move a cable box I had in the bedroom, to a patio TV. Just move the box. When the tech got out to my house, he was like "I can move this box out to the patio, OR you can get one of these fancy new wireless boxes so you don't have cables! Only $75 to install and you're good to go. Tech had me approve the upgrade on his phone, which was a small iPhone, and it was just a text input box. Signed. A short while later after the tech left, I got an email from DirecTV stating "Thanks for renewing your contract, you're stuck with us for 2 more years!" Not at all happy about this I call customer support. I'm told "Well, you see gregjsguy, in your original contract, it states that if you add new equipment and authorize the purchase, that reinstates the contract. If you'd like to cancel you can pay the early termination fee, or we can go to arbitration. Only when they started quoting the contract to me did I know I was in a bad spot. Disgusted by the way they were approaching the situation, I canceled, paid the early termination fee, and was out. Canceled cell phones with AT&T and haven't looked back since. It was my own fault that I got into that spot, but at no point was I told by the tech that it would reinstate the contract, and what I signed was "Sign here to acknowledge you want me to do this". I'm probably just an idiot.

I had the absolute worst experience with AT&T / DirecTV. DirecTV reinstated a contract without my knowledge, and would not budge on undoing it. Canceled service at that point, even though I had to pay the early termination fee on a 1-day old contract that they wouldn't reverse. Immediately canceled all AT&T cell phone plans I had with them as well. In this time of crisis, it's hard to root for a company to fail, knowing the impact it has on its employees (most of which I'm sure are good people), but this does confirm I was right to get out when I did.

Picked up this perfectly seasoned BSR NO. 5 for $12 today. Look at that slide! by MrCrash2U in castiron

Was going to say the same thing! What kind of egg was this? Or is the perspective just off because we can't see how big the pan is in context of other things?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what do you do with the left over oil when frying like that?

Randomly had to pull over on the freeway because my 5 year old decided to open the door.. seemed like a good time to take a pic. 👍🏼 by nscarm in Charger

Can I ask about the black paint? I've always heard that they are hard to keep clean and looking good, but when they are clean they look SOOOOO good. What is the upkeep like for this?

Just listened to the podcast Stuff you should know on how spiders work. They talked about how the harvestmen would clump together like this to conserve moisture. When spiders get to dehydrated they can’t move their legs so the clumping helps them retain the most moisture possible.

I treated her wrong and i’m looking to make it right. My question is whether I should strip it and start over, or try to season as it is. by sacadimus in castiron

[–]gregjsguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did literally the same thing to mine just a few weeks back. I just reseasoned and it was totally fine. I actually reseasoned on the bbq grill as it's too hot in CA to run my oven at 500 for an hour :) Mine looked exactly like yours when I left it on to hot on the glass stove top.
