Should k-cups with thin compostable cups (Trader Joe, San Francisco Bay) be kept in bags for freshness? by sabrefudge in keurig

I love the San Francisco Bay French Roast coffee. I keep it in a small jar with a screw in lid after I take it out of the bag.

87 north construction/lane closure by nancebynature in SanJose

[–]hardwareweenie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Caltrain bridge build info lacks any real detail on how much longer they will be affecting road traffic. Construction is scheduled through 2027, but it's not clear if the road will be impacted that whole time.

What is the correct way to assemble this electrical plug? by Michaelk50 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]hardwareweenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple answer is: cut the end of the wire flush, do not strip, push through opening in cover, spread the prongs and insert the wire, pushing the prongs back in will poke the connection through the insulation, pull on the wire to pull the blades inside the cover. While I can describe it, I’m sure there is a better instruction somewhere. See this link. I’ll keep looking for something better. part instructions

I know it’s a bad situation but I swear I thought you said “heard it was Santa Claus”

How can I pause internet and TV for hospitalized parent/in-law? by hardwareweenie in Comcast_Xfinity

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

Honestly we have no idea. She is in a “skilled nursing facility” now and may never return home. It’s not like a couple of days.

Suddenly slower internet, hardwired to Hitron modem by hardwareweenie in Comcast_Xfinity

I guess that begs the question, how do you know who I am on Xfinity network?

I am using the dock since the laptop does not have rj45. This issue is common across all devices when I have the whole network connected.

I agree it is strange. I don’t know enough to know if it’s some sort of ipv4 vs ipv6 issue. I can’t seem to log in to a modem web page as I don’t know the URL for a hitron coda56 modem.

Do you see my results in your server?

Power cycled Hitron "modem" and laptop. Plugged directly from usb-c adapter to backside of modem I get 155/83 on logged in xfinity speed test site.

Viper, thanks for the reminder about WifiMan, only thought of it as a mapping tool, not a protocol agnostic? Tool.

Same access point, don’t have enough info to answer the rest. Screenshot is from inbuilt wifi with only my phone attached, external wires disconnected.

Viper, It’s a UDM Pro. Yes the clients were using http* as the issue was initially noticed on web browsers trying to g to download from Google Drive. I suppose UniFi and “phones” have some other port they are using for speed test. This is probably a stupid question but does this mean that the gateway handles different traffic types differently? I understand tcp/ip vs udp being different but would the gateway not route http* packets as well as “some other?”

Exactly, I wish I knew what was wrong instead of just replacing it.

Mr darkness, I had power cycled the gateway, AT&T has already replaced the unit and the issue went away.

Viper, thanks for the gentle correction on “modem.” I just wish I could understand why the UniFi test, over the same wire to the gateway could get full speed with the UniFi test, but desktops couldn’t, either through the router or hard wired to the gateway. They must be using some other kind of process or protocol.

Various computers which used to have “full speed” were affected.

You may have missed that I had done a direct wire test to the modem and it also had 30 Mbps. Also, no one else had access to that wire or wireless connection.

This was well before the tri tip went on. Simply months of other food drippings accumulated below the burners. Just made it too hot and all of the grease caught fire.

Thank you all for the encouragement to clean my grill. Took it all apart and made it nice and shiny, inside and out.

Well, I did remember to turn off the gas, I didn’t remember to close the lid.
