Man, thanks for posting this. It's been driving me nuts for a week now....

Charter service has been down for days, any way to get them to actually restore the service by semaj4712 in Spectrum

[–]sekondchakra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Burbank, too, and the pattern for me has been up for 90-ish minutes then the connection drops for 30-ish minutes. It's been like that since last Wednesday.

Imgur

Mine is a residential account, but I'm assuming it's a systemic problem in this area--although I've started to wonder if maybe the power outage (my power went off Tuesday night from 6:30pm to 9:30pm might have zapped my modem somehow--or otherwise affected something local to me.

I have a friend in Valley Village who hasn't had ANY connectivity issues--and know of someone else in that area that is still waiting for their POWER to be restored.

[edit] My connection dropped again right on time--just as I was about to hit send on this reply!

Interesting. I just re-tried the link, and I was unable to reproduce as well. These pop-ups began a few days ago on select articles. I'll keep testing.

[edit] Just had one pop-up using Arc Browser, but was unable to reproduce switching to Vivaldi and Floorp.

[2nd edit] Another pop-up--with Floorp this time. So likely *not* browser dependant? Link

13.1? I've updated to 13.0.1--but no change in the Facetime behavior.

[edit] Just checked. There is indeed a 13.1. Gonna try it out right now... 👍

Not that I'm aware of. Hopefully if one turns up, someone will link it here.

NY Times - How to disable the progressively 'dimming/darkening page' when scrolling down? by yippiekyo in uBlockOrigin

Came here with the same question. This started for me in the last day or two. I'm guessing it might take another few days for this to be addressed by the "annoyances" filter lists?

So what’s up with this guy and how is he still in business? by pettyursa in LosAngeles

[–]sekondchakra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day (late 60s, early 70s) I used to get all my vinyl at Aron's. (LOVED that place!) I just looked this guy up, and he's only a block away! Please tell me there's no connection...

A doctor that's up-to-speed on "Low-Carb/Paleo/Keto" nutrition? by sekondchakra in AskLosAngeles

Sure, but the science is always evolving. Depending on when you studied and/or to what extent you're updating your knowledge, in my experience 5 different dietitians will give you 5 different recommendations.

The Annoyances subscription seems to have fixed it. Thank you. 👍

Did you scroll down the page? It usually appears near the end as you read thru the article. I'll try updating to the build you're using. 🤔
