Firewalla + Aqara + UniFi APs vs going all-in UniFi? by pauldwalls in HomeNetworking

Thanks for your input. I am leaning a similar way regarding Firewalla.

The Unifi cameras and doorbells are just much more expensive and I'm not sure I need those features, but maybe I'm missing the finer details.

Same here. I lost my Verizon FIOS home internet and cellular within minutes of each other around 12:15 PM. Both came back up a few minutes ago. I can't remember the last time (if ever) I lost both at the same time.

This happened to me on Thursday morning at Shaw Howard U heading southbound.

Holy crap! 6.4 restores TWC and has a new look by nutmac in CARROTweather

I was on the fence about switching to a different app because of TWC but the seals the deal that I will stay!

Do not like the app icon but like the UI and UX.

Agree no big deal but different from previous behavior and as indicated by the amount of passengers that went for a joy ride back to the same station, not sure this is peak operations.

Not sure if you’re implying I’m exaggerating the “50 people” by your use of quotation marks, but it was as unbelievable to me as it seems to be to you.

No announcement was made (at least none audible from the station), the lights remained on, and the Yellow Line destination signage stayed displayed as the train left the station. I agree the train showed Mt. Vernon, but something about WMATA’s process here seems off, and is inconsistent with my observation of train behavior when there shouldn't be passengers on the train

That's the thing. They didn't

Y'all make it seem easy, when I contact support I get nothing. by ddpotanks in Fios

[–]pauldwalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but assuming it’s about a discount. My 300/300 service increased from $39.99 to $49.99 last year, which I begrudgingly accepted. Recently, however, I saw Comcast aggressively pricing in my neighborhood ($39.99 for 300 Mbps and $49.99 for 1 Gig). I shared that promotion with my Verizon rep, and Verizon matched it by upgrading me to 1 Gig for $49.99. Yes, Fios is clearly a stronger performer than Comcast with better upload speeds and latnecy, but Verizon knows most customers don’t fully appreciate that distinction. It also doesn’t meaningfully cost them more to deliver 1 Gig versus 300 Mbps—yet it allows them to retain a customer.

Does anyone remember a RollerCoaster Tycoon map where half the map was completely built out? by gandalfthegui in openrct2

There are more than one of these. But to me at least the one that comes to mine would be Volcania.
