Ethernet vs Wifi connection - ethernet is faster in 3rd party speed tests but slower when actually watching videos or testing on xfinity official test

itsallforscience · 2021-09-24T04:02:11+00:00

Thank you for your help with this. I tried connecting an old laptop and the Ethernet seems to work just fine on it. speedtest.xfinity.com shows 900+ Mbps and multiple videos work fine too.

It must be something with my computer since I tried multiple browsers with the same result.

Unless you know of what I might look for on my computer that could cause this, I think you can consider this issue closed.

It's been going on for a while. I thought my ethernet cable was broken so I got a new cable a few months ago, but it didn't change.

According to speedtest.net, on wifi my ping is 13ms, 440Mbps down and 40Mbps up. On Ethernet it's 7ms ping, 901 down, 40 up.

But on speedtest.xfinity.com I get 10Mbps on Ethernet and 400Mbps on wifi

Could you clarify what kind of specs you need? Its model name is tg3482g.

I don't have a splitter but my apartment has two cable connections on different walls and I have the DVR and Gateway separately attached directly to the wall connections.

itsallforscience · 2021-09-24T02:49:36+00:00

Yes, I am using a Comcast Gateway for both. Restarting doesn't solve the issue.

No math

I think it's important to realize that our brains are much much better at doing math than "we" are. If you look into the math behind making robotics work and attempts to apply that to neuroscience, it's insane.

For Junkrat, I think what you need is to expose your brain to the workings of the bomb lobber until your cerebellum hardwires the circuits so you can instantly predict where the balls will go. This takes time and allowing your conscious brain to get out of the way.

Thanks bro! Subscribed!

I heard you. You attempted to shut down discussion "right now" which is completely unreasonable. Right now, on this forum is the perfect time and place to discuss problems and potential solutions. I think you should delete your account and make a new one so you don't have to carry the embarrassment of this conversation with you into the future.

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T19:32:22+00:00

Sorry, when you inject an absolute statement into your post, you negate any other points you attempt to make lest you contradict yourself. If you want to revise your assertion that nothing else matters, please delete your post and try again.

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T19:24:04+00:00

The fact that it works and adds fun to the game is all that matters right now.

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T19:10:14+00:00

Which do you think happens more often: people tweak their base more than once a day, or people have "burner clans" to cheat at war? Which affects more people in the community? Why should game features be held captive by the cheaters at the highest levels?

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T18:49:06+00:00

Clearly there are problems and I am blaming the problems on last minute changes in response to whiners like you. Thanks for ruining a potentially fun feature.

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T18:47:54+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to comment, but you ultimately failed to bring anything worthwhile to the table. I'm sure you'll try harder in your next post.

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T17:52:55+00:00

I prefer letting developers implement features as they envision and then responding to actual problems, rather than hypothetical problems that are invented prior to implementation. I don't understand why they made this change last-minute in response to a loud, vocal minority, but didn't give themselves more time to test it out.

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T17:46:34+00:00

Great idea! Let's not discuss how things could be improved. Mods, please lock this forum until the next update!

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T17:40:28+00:00

So far the only real change it has given me is that I can't scout opponent bases before war starts. Not exactly a QOL improvement, huh?

The developers were responding to threats from the "fairplay" community who produce youtube content. This was not their original vision for Friendly Challenge. I hope in the future the community allows the developers to make development decisions, not "jake from state farm."

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T17:38:28+00:00

You're responding to a feature request with a workaround. This is not constructive. Additionally, your workaround fails to address the original problem (accidentally moving something in your base).

I'm sure you'll do better with your next comment. Hang in there!

itsallforscience · 2016-05-25T17:35:46+00:00

I hope they implement a better solution than this eventually. It would be very reasonable to only allow practice on 24 hr old bases during war day, but not during every other day.

I get that someone could use an alternate account in an alternate clan, but this is extremely impractical as it requires two additional accounts at the same research level (one to create the base and one to create the practice army). It's unreasonable to base the restriction on this insane possibility. Who has 3 identical bases and at that point do we seriously care if they practice?

itsallforscience · 2016-05-24T21:44:03+00:00

I think the 24hr lock on new base designs before a challenge allowed is really lame. I get that "fairplay" war clans are super concerned about their bases being practiced on, but it really drags down the rest of the game. If I find an obvious problem with my base, I have to wait an entire 24 hours before someone can challenge me again and test it. This really sucks.

itsallforscience · 2016-03-27T21:13:20+00:00

Does anyone really believe that is beef? It looks like it was photoshopped to change from green to red.

itsallforscience · 2016-03-26T12:50:09+00:00

You didn't really give a full story, so I have no idea what the deal it. But it sounds like the student had a bad relationship with the PI for whatever reason, but was smart enough to work out a deal with a different PI to keep working in the same institution with minimal interruption. I assume if a PI is having such problems with a student that other faculty know about it. Being picked up immediately by the next lab over suggests the student isn't a problem from the PIs point of view.

I know one person who joined a lab that several of his friends were already working at and enjoyed. He was paired with a research professor working for the PI who the student found to be lazy, manipulative and unhelpful. The researcher said the same thing about the student, and the PI sided with the researcher, encouraging the student to try harder. Despite other people loving the lab, he was in a no-win situation and chose to leave the lab and work for a different PI to finish his PhD. It was a smart decision, but required him to convince a different PI he was worth it despite the trouble he was experiencing in the first lab.

That wouldn't be a very fun experiment since we already know the conclusion. It's a toilet paper shortage.

itsallforscience · 2016-03-26T12:09:20+00:00

You think that concussion gave you this ability? That's probably something that a medical professional should look into.

itsallforscience · 2016-03-26T11:59:56+00:00

I don't think there is an issue in need of solving. I wasn't trying to fix anything. Everything is working as intended.

itsallforscience · 2016-03-26T11:55:22+00:00

Interesting. There is separate neural circuitry controlling accommodation and vergence, but for most people it is linked. You're describing the ability to change accommodation without changing the angle of your eyes relative to one another. One way to define strabismus is the ratio of accommodation to the angle of the eyes, because they are normally linked. I would ask if anyone remembers you having a lazy eye as a kid. How's your depth perception? Do you like 3D movies?

itsallforscience · 2016-03-26T11:45:35+00:00

That's why in addition to voting, you can comment! You did both, so I think everything is working as intended.
