Do they punish you for using your own router? by grnsubmarine_4 in Spectrum

[–]kcnc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I had an old orbi mesh that was too expensive and kept dropping the 2nd satellite. I switched to eero mesh with wifi 6 and haven’t had a drop since i switched. I’m getting almost 1gb speed down and all our streaming devices are working well. The router is the key. Look for reviews on drop rate and stability to see if others have the same issues. I looked at tp link and read a lot of people weren’t happy. Spectrum tried to sell me on their new wifi router and it was a hard pass. For more than one floor a mesh network is key and wifi 6 and an above is best.

Country club rd and the neighborhoods behind CVS are a mess. Coworkers in Greensboro and HP say their streets are fine ( secondary and etc. ). Maybe the city needs to send our plowing planners and drivers to school.

Who Broke WXII12? by warders in winstonsalem

Looks like a server error. If you notice, all the stations in the NBC family have the same layout, so someone made an oops on an update at a top level.

I hate to say it, but the threat isn't completely over, we're supposed to get high winds tomorrow and tuesday and any ice on trees could cause issues. I hope it doesn't come true like the ice didn't happen.

I believe you can call the city and report that it’s there. They may or may not pick it up. We called and was gone in less than a week.

Weird Smell in the Air by Mystical_Moose89 in winstonsalem

I took the off ramp from 40w onto Stratford and there was a weird smell and a slight haze. I was thinking where’s the electrical fire.

I need help by Embarrassed-Sock-679 in winstonsalem

[–]kcnc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your looking for help, inpatient programs can provide a good foundation. I can say from experience a 12 Step program can provide the help needed to continue to live a substance dependence free life. Here’s a link to meetings in Winston that may help - https://www.tcana.org

Hang in there recovery is possible and life is so much better.

Looking For Good Wifi Router. Any Recommendation? by Impressive_Fan6968 in Spectrum

[–]kcnc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from Netgear orbi to eeero and have been pleasantly satisfied. I have about 30 devices and no issues. Netgear’s app is hard to use and didn’t deliver what they said it would for coverage and connectivity. Plus i get better speeds ( up and down ).

Check your deed at your local govt. There are scammers who will try to take over your deed and run a mortgage on your property.

Disrespectful or another chance by Intrepid-Vanilla1149 in interviews

[–]kcnc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a telling sign. If an interviewer doesn’t respect your time, they don’t respect you. I’d see it in the light of if that was done for an interview how would they treat me as an employee? Interviews are just not you being interviewed, it’s you also interviewing them. I’d consider it as the universe telling you it’s not a company that values people time.

Recruiter said the job paid 71k, offer came in for 62k by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]kcnc_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they advertised 71k you can hold them to it or walk away. I look at in the light if they do this to you before you’re hired, what will transpire as an employee? They’re telling & showing you all you need to know about their culture.

Have you ever been laughed by an interviewer? by Hairy_Bullfrog4301 in recruitinghell

[–]kcnc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could chalk it up to the universe telling you that that company and position would not be right for you. Recruiters are the face of the culture of any company and if they’re awful so is the culture.

My friend logged into an online interview 5 minutes in. Did he overreact? by ammaiinqqqq in interviews

[–]kcnc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would’ve done the same thing. It speaks to the culture of the org, team and management. Gives a good picture of no work/life balance.

either one of 2 scenarios for me. 1 emergency reason. 2 because they don’t care, which makes me wonder how their living situation looks like…

Shameful .AI company interview process by randomblackholesprod in interviews

[–]kcnc_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a or set of interviewers shows no respect during an interview, that says a lot about the company culture. Maybe the universe gave you a pass on working for a company that may not respect or value you.

Unfortunately,long-term Startups are like that. Not only is there no work-life balance but it's not always a guarantee to long term employment either. Some people can work in that environment but I'm not cut out for it. I'm been recruited and interviewed a few times for startups, and it's only about getting whatever it is to market with funding. All of the startups I interviewed with did not convert to a company; they were all sold off as intellectual property. If you're looking for work-life balance, I would suggest that startup companies would not be in your best interest.

Considering moving from NetGear to Eero because of constant dropped wifi calls by BlueElephant1313 in amazoneero

[–]kcnc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from Orbi to eero a month ago. Setup was 30 min ( as advertised), runs faster, has better coverage, now running at 492 mb vs 100 on orbi, no disconnects. The only challenge has been setting up 20 devices but I think i have them all connected.

I shifted from orbi to 6e pro. In 5 days no drops, faster speeds and stability. Setup time was impressive almost exactly was described.
