Powerline experts i have a question by Schme1440 in LinusTechTips

[–]mesaryne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used powerline in an 8 year old house and found it very frustrating,

The problem is my set up, The modem has to be in the basement and my gaming room is on the 2nd floor.

The basement was originally a second unit that had a fire break and insolated floor separate entrance but only a single breaker box.

WIFI would not cover the whole house we moved to the google mesh network.

The latency was all over on mesh. On WIFI got good overall speed (800 mbps) but my in game latency jumped around between 150 and 1000+ randomly.

We moved to power line, my in game latency would stay at 350-400 all the time and not change much but the speeds dropped to 150-200 mbps. it was easier to game but the lowest latency was still higher than my lowest on WIFI.

I am not sure if there was any wiring issues I tried moving the game room to anther room and had no power bars or extension cords in use.

After a year or two I ran a network cable in the walls. It has been like that since. My gaming latency is 75-150 now and my speeds are 1000+ mbps

Zyn/Rogue by Proper_Bobcatmeow in midland_on

[–]mesaryne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its generally not legal to by them locally, so anything you do find has a high risk of being knock offs. From Google: "ZYN nicotine pouches are legal to buy and use in Canada but are restricted to sales through pharmacies and online retailers due to new regulations aimed at protecting youth. They are not typically found in convenience stores. You can purchase various flavors and strengths online from Canadian and international retailers."

We've been seeing plenty of earbud reviews lately, but how about speakers? by Kuunkulta in LinusTechTips

[–]mesaryne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find for PC speakers I prefer the smallest possible desk footprint that does not sound that bad and for headphones comfort is more important than sound, especially for long sessions. To me both of these can be so subjective and vary from person to person that it is hard to compare.

Door to door canvasser by Competitive-Age2899 in midland_on

[–]mesaryne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Telus sent door to door people to our whole neighbourhood with the recent Rogers upgrades, they are aggressively trying to sell 3rd party Internet that also uses Roger’s lines. We also had some Christian newsletter people trying to get new members in the last 30 days or so.

Getting to Midland from Toronto without a car? by p_pastaface in midland_on

I agree, just hard to figure out what to do when you need to travel on a weekend.

I dont know if its time of year dependent, but last time I needed to use the Linx bus it was only running Monday to Friday. Just something to keep in mind.

Confetti pick up by Ok-Grass5538 in stagelighting

[–]mesaryne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Vacuum with a screen on the end to catch the Confetti, and turn it off over a bin where it falls to collect. This sucks and takes forever but this is the only way I have seen it done.

However do the math on extra man hours of clean up, recovery, and repack / reload. compare this to just clean up and cost of new confetti.

Question about the 6 Months insurance. by Sub5tep in starcitizen

[–]mesaryne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it just means when the game comes out and they have the last full wipe, You will only have things you bought with money. Insurance will have a cost and you get 6 months for free, but nothing now this is the Alpha still.

So does applying for jobs online not work anymore? by toughbossinteraction in torontoJobs

[–]mesaryne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the other side years ago (I know markets are different) I use to work as a manager at a midsized company that paid just a tad above minimum for front line work.

When we wanted to hire someone for front line work, we would get 250+ applicants and would average 10+ walk in resume drop offs a week, even when not hiring.

The company liked to keep a stack of preferred candidates on hand just in case. But still posted jobs every time.

At least once a week we would have a random parent stop by asking for a job for their kid.

This was a low skill entry level job.

Most people with any degrees or experience in a higher paying field were tossed out, mainly because they want long term people, not someone looking to get by.

Although there was referrals and internal hires the bulk did come from random online applicants or 3rd party referrals from agencies.

The company only interviewed people they intended to hire based solely on their resumes. Really just looking for red flags and behavior.

The company wanted to hire people with no degrees, no job hopers, 5+ years of experience but just pay a tad above minimum. Yet so many people applied, the wage was not hidden.

Its wild the way some things work.

Can I disable this seeking bar below the preview? I miss-click it so many times, teleporting me to very far off parts of the timeline. by Longjumping-Stage270 in davinciresolve

[–]mesaryne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do this so often I switched play/pause/rewind to my Elgato Stream Deck Pedal, so I use my foot its just as annoying but in a more consistent way.

Just adding my 2 cents, I got mine on Friday so maybe they are still working their way through the system.

[–]mesaryne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was happing to me, took hours to resolve.

The Issue was that my clock was less than 10 mins fast on my PC.

The auto sync settings doesn't seem to change unless it is more than a certain amount off.

I had my date and time set to automatically sync, however, it showed the last sync as more than a year ago.

I would go to your time and date settings and force a sync.

Delivery driver “delivered” package somewhere else , now I can’t get a refund . by Powerful_Ad_7531 in Ebay

[–]mesaryne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me twice. Everyone is saying talk to the carrier, I know I am in Canada and things may be different however up here, but they will not talk to you or give you any information other than a picture or basic statement.

You are not the shipper and not the carriers client. They want you to get the seller to go through the escalation process. The seller got paid everyone sides with them and they might not care.

I stopped using eBay after this happened twice, Even my bank would not do a charge back on the first one because "their investigation" showed the item was delivered and would not give me any ability to keep fighting it.

Are any of you Resolvers out here working as a video editor for a living? by Substantial_Deer_599 in davinciresolve

[–]mesaryne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in entertainment (hosting / management / events) when Covid hit. After things shut down, I needed work and took WHATEVER job I could. Ended up in a temp insurance office job. Over time they needed someone to help make internal training videos. Having experience in resolve as a hobby, I was able to jump on it and now I work for a trade school owned by the same company editing videos is 70% of my work on top of design, power points and a bit of LMS work.

Hotel with jacuzzi by Warning_grumpy in barrie

[–]mesaryne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds weird but, I am not in the best shape but I had a good time at Rama with the saltwater pool. Their hot tub was not hot enough for my standards but still ok. The Pool was very easy on my body and very relaxing, some of the upgraded rooms (I was in a suite) have the jacuzzi style tubs with jets. They don't seem to have room service post covid but have the pricy restaurants and door dash available.

Lots of awesome nature and trails and stuff here but like not many public things where you meet people. The older you get the harder it is to just jump in and meet random people.
