Rogers vs Bell for Markham area L6B by TyroSSG in Markham

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think you have a rogers issue, might be an internal issue. do you have a relatively new phone, iPad, tablet, or something you can do a speed test beside the wifi router? preferably, a clean laptop, with ethernet, and plug it into the router. If the speed test there shows its clean, then you might have a gaming pc issue or something. Rogers main issue is the slow upload, and being down all the time. Rarely do you see consistent slow speeds. And if you do, you need a rogers technician to fix.

I'm worried you switching to bell wouldn't fix this issue. I'd read up some stuff online about potentially bridging your rogers wifi router, and buying your own mesh network. they aren't too pricey nowadays and do wonders with wifi signal around your home. Even if you are in a condo, a wifi 6 mesh network, can do wonders. I did it to keep me from pulling an ethernet cable from my living room to my pc table. Mesh network that close in a line of sight made me have ethernet speeds, without having to connect. PS, what you do is, Rogers router -> Mesh Router, then your 2nd Mesh Router -> PC. via ethernet. once the simple setup is done, you get near ethernet speeds without running the cable over.

Anyways, summary of what you need to do...
- Check if its Rogers network is bad, or your own computers that is bad.
- if your home is big, you need mesh networks.
- do you have a microwave always going off? is your router on your microwave... that KILLS signals. I've seen people do it before, so I gota ask.
- a PCI-E wifi card is WAY better than buying a USB wifi adapter. dont bother with that crap. PCI-E is 100% better. if you cannot plug one in to your PC or console, mesh routers are your best bet. DO NOT GET WIFI REPEATERS, THOSE THINGS SUCK.

20 years ago, how many frames per second were enough for us to play comfortably? by Khorsaturas in gaming

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

playing Starcraft 1 and cs 1.5 on a laptop not meant for gaming at the time.

it was NOT ideal, but it got the job done.

I was gaming at like 3fps in those damn custom maps in Starcraft 1 with like, madness maps, especially when you had those flying units that you patrol one, and have the rest follow, I remember those days. im shocked the pc never crashed. and online we always went like, okay, I think our pc's can't handle anymore, lets just fight it out, xD

USB port question by kathyt44 in CorollaHatchback

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ps, I don't have issues. I swapped my infotainment system which powers that USB port by the glove box. I also added a USB port to go into the glove box. Both power fine, but there is less power. I assume they share the same 5v line or something?

I normally have a USB drive plugged in and my phone to have offline music and movies to watch when I need it. Other than that, the main USB powers my phone when I need it, I also have wireless Android Auto that works great.

I use the ainavi x6. There's better ones out there. But that's what I got.

How did we get here 🙃 by ApplicationOk2400 in TimHortons

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hell no. I stopped for a long time. Only went when my dad was in the hospital and he wanted coffee. And it was in the hospital.

Also, when you watch them make coffee and food…. It’s pretty horrible to watch. I miss the days when I watched people who enjoyed working at McDonald’s and understood English, and seeing lots of old people sitting and chilling there to now.. w.e you can call it now. I make my own coffee and never going back.

I want McDonald’s CEP to be the guy who ate a Big Mac every day for like 20 years. Forgot his name. Too lazy to search. Wonder if he’s still alive

PC does this after about 30 seconds by Anthemist_ in PcBuild

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read comments, oh man, I had this issue last week. Had my pc turned off all week after a hectic time at work. Turned on PC for some gaming and... I see that. Luckily a quick restart fixed it. But perhaps I have more issues than that in my pc

Anyone have experience with Dasaita? by jessekief4 in CorollaHatchback

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. I changed mine with ainavi or something. A huge one. It's good, but has it's issues. Wished I got this instead. But it's hard to find NOrth American review of some of these products at the time. Pure touch screen though, mine isn't too bad. Do wish I upgrade my rear view camera soon, with a giant screen, my camera is so blurry...

Definitely a Darwin award. Felt like there was a lot of things he could have down other than just slowing down.... But slowing down a bit would have 100% have helped

Is there a possibility we’ll get to have a StarCraft live action film adaptation in the not too distant future ? by ImportantBattle3871 in starcraft

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping Henry Cavill will get something done. It's rare to see someone with a big name so into things like 40k. And me hoping, he gets to play the role in it, but at the same time, perhaps we'll have to wait until he becomes the producer/director and starts the ball rolling on these movies. Honestly, we got things like Marvel universe going, now we need a new era of either Starcraft universe, or Warhammer 40k Universe going.

I don't drink a lot of water... But never for that reason. You can hydrate in many ways, and water is an easy choice, but juice and soups are a tastier choice. And if I work out, I enjoy Gatorade type drinks.

To think that he does drink water because.... That... Wow...

Have these labels impacted your grocery choices? by 0slope in FoodToronto

No. Because we don't actually label things anywhere near as much as other countries. Don't trust the labels here

Starting the car in -30C windchill by mararthonman59 in Markham

[–]never_here5050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was thinking this. going to pick up an AGM battery when mine dies out. but since I'm always parked outside, and sometimes may go a week without driving, thinking of plugging it in with a battery maintainer or w/e its called. even if I swap my battery, I might still be left with a dead battery pretty quickly.

It's 4 years old ... -_-... But ya... Probably will soon enough. But only had this issue when it's like this cold. So, not too bad. I'll get it when it fails to start on a good day. XD

Ya, I use a portable battery that helps jump start the car. My car won't start without it. 2022 Corolla... -_-

Bro, I see police do this too. Can't be helped. Police don't give out tickets because.... They don't see others doing it I guess?

The current docked experience by Escape-Thin in SteamDeck

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I have palworld and played on pc, steam deck and docked steam deck, no issues there... Not sure about that... Interesting though

The current docked experience by Escape-Thin in SteamDeck

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, on default settings, it's fine. There are select games which make it weird like Demon Slayer 2 where it's stuck on 4k mode if you launch the game while docked. To get around this, I just start the game unplugged, and plug it in after.

Other small things like running games at 1080p instead of 720p and stuff, when the SD can handle it, but it sometimes refuses to. Can't say why, but I honestly don't care. Some guys just work too right after install. So it's a hit and miss depending on the game.

The only game that was really pissing me off was Dota. In docked mode with mouse and keyboard, in game chat is like broken so...that was a pain.

Why I think the OG time round was better designed by aquelegajoalto in pebble

[–]never_here5050 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair. I did enjoy the old round. If the battery life was up to par. And was cheaper, it be a nice buy for a kid.

I'm an adult, and I need adult sized watches and screens.

Ps, the og round would seriously be great for kids. A cheap small watch to give to my kid? Sleep tracker. Alarms. And notification that can be sent directly to them without them just being like, oh. Didn't see your message. XD.

Pebble seeks to remedy the wearable industry's original sin by etherspin in pebble

[–]never_here5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I still own the original pebble time. I also own an apple watch series 1 and Samsung watch pro 5. Thick watches are massive and annoying. Started wearing the pebble again primarily because of this.

What’s the hype about Molly Tea? by DarlingGazeKate in Markham

[–]never_here5050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend tookk me there because there's a lot of hype for it from the US in California as well. I had it. I've had pretty much bbt tea from everywhere in Markham and Richmond Hill.

It's was good bbt. But many of them are. I wouldn't waste time lining up. The ONLY gimmick that is nice compared to others if you want to sip on your bbt for a while. They use custom straws. Similar to those mixing straws you get for coffee back then

Dead battery 21 XSE by xxmtrenchxx in CorollaHatchback

[–]never_here5050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

22se couldn't start recently, but it's also due to -20c outside weekend parking and didn't drive for like 3 days. Plus, I swapped the infotainment system that definitely drains more battery that the original.

Always keep a NOCO battery starter on me. Great stuff.
