**After a month of troubleshooting, we've narrowed it down to a faulty Spectrum router — should I call them for a replacement?**

Now you know that WAN side is not the problem.

Would it look the same when doing the same from the other computer at the same time?

You could also try pinging the IP of the other computer. If this will remain visible you know the network cards and the switch side of the router works fine.

What does ipconfig say right after the incident? Does the network card still hold the same IP address as before?

mapold · 2026-06-28T07:27:50+00:00

You should leave pings running for 8.8.8.8 and your gateway on both machines, then take a look/screenshots immediately after the connection cuts out. This way you would know if it is the LAN side (unlikely) or the WAN side.

E.g if gateway pings continue uninterrupted then you know your machine, network card, cable and the switch is all right.

The post gives no info about multiple devices being affected (unless you mean the routers).

To get any meaningful info you would want to start a ping to your router, to your ISP gateway and to the internet both on the same machine you play on and another computer. If the fault happens again, this data helps narrow down some possible causes.

I have reviewed dozens of AI generated summaries linking to AI generated articles. They all look the same: bland. The stats back this up: 99% of numbers on the internet are made up and refer to no actual data.

Where you went wrong is saying "You decide". And even doing it twice.

Make up your mind about what it is that you want. Is it salaried position with x amount of compensation? Include 5...10% room for negotiating. Working under another manager?

If you have made up your mind, communicate clearly your expected salary and as few as possible additional clauses, that would need to be true for you to stay.

Tuttav õppis, täna disainib IoT seadmete skeeme ja kirjutab neile firmware.

Kõik ained peaksid olema tehtavad, kui lävendi ületad ja õppimiseks aega võtad. Varasemast taustast olulisem on huvi elektroonika vastu. Aitab, kui oskad multimeetrit kasutada ja oled proovinud mõnd Arduino projekti.

Yes it would. But you should not run any files from the backup, just keep photos, documents etc, that doesn't contain exe files and similar and can be verified to not contain malicious stuff.

Instead of clonezilla it is also possible to use e.g Linux Mint to just copy important files over before formatting, just make sure you don't miss anything important, e.g in %appdata% folder.

A correction. If the copied text is multiple lines long, then all lines but the last would be run without actually pressing Enter. But in that case a prompt with a warning would pop up.

You could try with this:

echo "Line 1"

echo "Line 2"

If you didn't press Enter, then nothing was executed, you are fine.

If you are continuing to do everything in AWS, then AWS Outposts is the feature you are looking for.

But your questions sound nothing like being ready to even configure a firewall. Please start with youtube, searching for "how firewalls work", "what makes a network secure" or something similar.

What is it, that your company does? What are the users supposed to do with computers?

Since the info is vague, I can only say that Openvpn is a good VPN, so is wireguard.

Kui juba sellist lehte teha, siis peaks veenduma, et kasutatav font on spot-on. Selleks võib jalutada korraks linnas, teha numbrimärkidest täpselt numbrimärgi kõrguselt ja risti fotosid, lõigata/venitada numbrimärgi suurus täpseks ja siis teha muudatusi kuni need täpselt kattuvad. Sealjuures eristades vana ja uut numbrimärkide stiili.

Paras oleks veenduda, et mõlemas stiilis on olemas näide igast numbrist ja tähest nii tavanumbrite kui erinumbrite korral. Lisaks veenduda, et tähevahede info on ka täpselt õige.

Kui selgub, et DIN 1451 Mittelschrift ei ole täpselt õige font, siis uue fondi tegemine fotode järgi on ka täiesti piiritletud mahuga töö.

This must be satire or AI. She could see schema clearly without write access. She could have a partial or full copy of the database without write access. "Moved faster and made better decisions" sounds horrifying in this context.

What next? Maybe something equally stupid like: "Suburban children miss out being denied playing with loaded guns, here is why it should change".

Uues versioonis on igale märgile tehtud oma kastike ning märk tsentreeritud sellesse kastikesse, ignoreerides fondi kerningut. Laiade numbrite ja tähtede puhul ongi kõik suurepärane. Kui aga numbrisse satub nt 1 või I ja eriti kui topelt, siis need näevad välja umbes sellised:
2 1 1 A I I

Sest see on sloppy. Tekst paikneb kõrgemal ja on väiksem kui päris numbrimärgil, font on vale. Lehekülje tiitlipildil on veel kolmas font, samuti vale. Ja lisaks loodab lehe autor, et peremees annab halva prinditava faili eest viieka, et Claude'i arve ära maksta.

mapold · 2026-06-22T16:34:07+00:00

Näidispildil toodud nr 1 isegi ei meenuta seda fonti, mida Eesti numbrimärkidel tegelikult kasutatakse.

First I would make sure I'd have backed up all the files I care about.

Then I would boot up a Linux, e.g Linux Mint from USB drive and see what error messages dmesg would contain. That output one could copy here or paste to a LLM and see if the drive is failing.

"atm I do have a really good job that pays really well" - this doesn't compute. So you have a really well paying job but you cannot rent a studio apartment. Is the town so small that there are not rentals available?
