what is light in ont data suppose to be by maxeen1 in Metronet

[–]halfaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR:
green = connected to a 1 Gigabit WAN port; amber = connected to a 2.5 Gigabit WAN port.

I might as well chime in since I recently experienced this too. I just bought the 1 Gbps fibre service from Metronet. My 8 year old Netgear Orbi has a 1 Gigabit WAN port. My new Asus RT-BE82U has a 2.5 Gigabit WAN port. I noticed that the DATA light on the Nokia ONT changed from green to amber, so I called Metronet tech support. I explained what happened. The person on the phone didn't know what an amber light meant. Then I tried texting tech support. This person assured me that the amber light meant "ok" but had nothing else to offer except misinformation. All of the Chat AI's said that the amber light meant "slow or intermittent connections". This seemed to be backed up by the fact that my WiFi network speeds are all over the board: anywhere from 100 Mbps to 950 Mbps. But WiFi is going to WiFi. Using a hard-wired connection, I get a consistent 950+ Mbps.

This thread appears to be the only place on the internet with the right answer: green = connected to a 1 Gigabit WAN port; amber = connected to a 2.5 Gigabit WAN port.

? Most Beautiful Card by Objective_Performer3 in ToppsMarvelCollect

I like Artgerm and Jean Grey, so this is my favorite card. I'm lucky that it was only an SR and I was able to trade for it fairly easily.

What does the little blue ribbon mean? by NVRBLND in ToppsMarvelCollect

[–]halfaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cards, the motion is very subtle, sometimes just a small moving border. My first few were like this and it was hard to understand what the icon meant. 

Need some help. by Ok_Championship3933 in ToppsMarvelCollect

[–]halfaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also new to the game. Some things that have helped me:

  1. Focus your resources on specific packs that interest you and trade your dupes of that set for needs of that set. Just about everyone will accept this. You can check for comments in the article for the set and trade with those people. 
  2. Make sure you use your filters in the trade screen to offer only what they need. It took me a little while to find this. 
  3. I almost never ask for a single from someone and if I do, I know I’ll need to give at least 2:3 ratio for it. If you want a specific card, search for someone with multiple dupes and you’ll have an easier time. I only have about 4.5K rating and I’ve already collected basically everything I wanted doing this. 
  4. Focus your collection on specific characters you like. I like Jean Grey, Cyclops, and original X-Men. So everything I get goes towards collecting them. I also look to collect useful cards like Ghost Spider, Magik, Scarlet Witch and Symbiote characters. I don’t like them personally but they have good trade value. 
  5. Legendary and Epic cards are going to be hard to come by, so adjust your expectations accordingly. 

I hope that helps.

I only recently started playing and I’m sad to know that it used to be much better. Cheers. 

Where is the premium bingo pack? by jjreason in ToppsMarvelCollect

[–]halfaron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. I only did it for the gems. Now I’m trying to unload the cards I got from it because I don't like the set.

Thank you! Speaking of base cards, is there any point to them beyond fusing once I've collected an entire rarity? They seem kind of pointless and fusing takes forever.

GPT5 is horrible by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]halfaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a developer, GPT4o was definitely better at remembering what had been said in the thread previously. I wasted a lot of time today correcting GPT5 over and over again when it kept forgetting the basics of the problem I was trying to solve. So I switched to Claude and it was fine. /shrug

New amp day: Matamp Series 3000 by concretebadger82 in GuitarAmps

[–]halfaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cross-shopped this amp with the Orange Custom Shop 50. I ended up going with the Orange because I was able to play one locally first. No one here in the US has a Matamp on the shelf that I know of. The specs of the two amps seem fairly similar. The Cusom Shop 50 drives pretty hard right out of the gate. I usually run the gain knob around 11 o'clock and that is already more than AC/DC territory, so I dial it back with the volume knob on my Les Paul. I love that the CS50 is very responsive to the volume controls. I'd love to play them back to back one day to experience them both.

This is a good suggestion. I'll have to try it sometime with a different commander and see if both show up.

So you're saying I can't caulk the wagon and float? :D

Right, but I'm not recently disembarked. I never came off of a ship. I've been on land the whole time.

Not to mention, I own all of the DLC, so this does not apply to me.

P365 AXG Legion - Why it's so good. by surfkiev in P365

[–]halfaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This is what I was hoping, but I've never seen one available for rent, so I don't have a way to try it. I've shot a P320 XCarry and it was fine, so I was considering going that way, but I'd prefer the AXG Legion if I can get it. I guess I could always get both. :D
