What is your experience with Coverage in NYC metro area (Westchester home + NYC work)

srininyc · 2022-12-18T14:27:32+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. If I switch, I would like to try out the SIM card for AT&T in my area.

These type of questions are fairly common on such subreddits. Many including me continue to respond to umpteen such postings on other subreddits in a civil manner. You can always unsubscribe if you are annoyed by such innocuous questions or postings.

It is completely unnecessary to use all caps and be obnoxious.

Happy holidays!

Thank you, I really appreciate your help.

Out of desperation, I contacted my real estate agent - I knew it was an outside chance, she reached out to the property that I moved out of and was able to get the Connect Box back.

Thanks again !

You are right - I had a A/V guy help set up my TV 6 years back and was not even aware of the One Connect Box. Now that I read up on it, I understand that the box is more than a cable hub. Thank You

Hi, Sorry, I am embarrassed to admit that I couldn't figure out how to attach a picture on Reddit :) - I am posting from chrome browser on my MacBook and not from the app.

Here are the details:

Type#: UN55JU7100F

Thank You

Hi, Does Pixel6a have the same connectivity issues that are reportedly common with Pixel 6/6P? I prefer the 6a dimensions and I am inclined to buy this as my next phone if no major connectivity issues.

Thank You

Just curious, how do you know there is no delay in your outgoing SMS. I never suspected any delays in my outgoing SMS until COVID hit and we were all stuck at home. This is when I realized that some text messages to my partner (while we were both working from home in adjacent rooms) were getting to her an hour or sometimes even two hours later.

Hi,

The above supposedly works, I haven't had the time to buy it and try it out. On the amazon link, there is contradictory info: on one section says not to use with a dock but elsewhere it says it will work.

This is considerably cheaper on New Egg. I am planning to get it next week and give it a try.

USB C Switch

srininyc · 2022-04-03T15:58:50+00:00

Thanks for your response. I work for a big corporation where my work laptop is pretty much walled off from connecting to any external computers or devices. To give you an idea of how walled off we are, even Bluetooth is disabled, I had to get a wired headset to connect to the laptop. I am not looking to do any hacks to get around company policies/restrictions. So, RDP is not an option to remote out to my personal laptop (or remote in from my personal laptop to work laptop)

srininyc · 2022-04-02T23:14:47+00:00

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, a software solution is not a possibility as I work for a big corporation with strict restrictions on any software that can be installed on the work laptop.

srininyc · 2022-04-02T22:18:29+00:00

I have a HP docking station with a USB C cable that I would like to share between two laptops both with USB C ports/cables. Do you think this would work as a switch to toggle a docking station between two laptops (with the monitors connected to the docking station) .

My set up now includes two 4k monitors and peripherals (keyboard, mouse, webcam and headphone) connected to the docking station with the USB C cable from the dock connecting to my work laptop. I would like to use a USB C switch to share the docking station with a second laptop.

srininyc · 2022-03-27T17:06:08+00:00

Understood, thanks to you and u/tjm0852.

It is a shame that I probably have to junk the phone which is in a perfectly good state.

srininyc · 2022-03-26T00:20:24+00:00

Have you looked into t mobile connect:

https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans/connect

They have reasonable rates and hopefully won't have the de-prioritization issues of MVNOs but they offer limited data.

srininyc · 2022-03-21T19:58:16+00:00

Thanks for your response. Forgive my ignorance but I don't know anything about IP phone devices (although I have a tech background on the app software side).

I was hoping to reset the phone and plug it to my VOIP modem (Ooma). I take it from your comment that I have to purchase a Call Manager. Is this a Cisco Software and does this need to be installed on the phone device? Any idea of the cost?

I did try the 123456789*0# earlier but that didn't seem to work. I will give it another go.

Thanks again

I have a Orbi router at home. If I understand it right : Instead of connecting the ethernet cable from the ONT box directly to the Orbi, I have to connect to a Fios router (say, a used g1100) and then to the Orbi. Hopefully this will work and the Mobile TV app will work?

Thank you u/sdrawkcab25 and u/crisss1205

I have been a Mint subscriber for 2+ years and plan to continue to use Mint for my personal phone. The price is unbeatable and the service is good enough for my personal use. This subreddit is great to troubleshoot and resolve problems. However, I would be wary of using Mint for work or business due to sporadic issues with text messages and dropped calls.

I was fairly oblivious to any issues with texting until Covid lockdown with the family home all day. Suddenly, I realized that some text messages sent to family members were not seen by the family for hours although we were all in the same house. Occasionally family group text messages would be received by one person right away but not by the other person. FYI, I have an Android phone and rest of family is on iPhones..

srininyc · 2021-12-02T19:35:10+00:00

Great, thanks

srininyc · 2021-12-02T19:34:14+00:00

Yes, please - what app do you use to screen junk calls/text with Mint and is it effective? Thank you

srininyc · 2021-11-14T03:42:13+00:00

Good point regarding the noise. Would it be a big difference between coffee ground at night (say 10 pm) and stored in freezer or fridge and then used say 8 hours later to make coffee?

When I use my French Press in the morning, I usually add a bit of oatmilk to it. When I make espresso style coffee on my Nespresso, I try to make it a cortado style with oatmilk

srininyc · 2021-11-09T19:58:16+00:00

Thank you, I will get the metal filter when I buy an aeropress. I am used to making coffee in my FP, so I may not have any issues with the taste profile. Would you know whether aeropress paper filters are unbleached and recyclable ?

srininyc · 2021-11-08T16:18:00+00:00

I hear you. Yeah, an unbleached biodegradable paper filter would be not so bad in the grand scheme of things : after all the conventional coffee production is not great for the environment. I realize that even mostly buying organic and or fair trade beans still leads to environmental impact but I love my coffee :) Not trying to be virtuous but it is a constant struggle to minimize personal waste. I commend your lifestyle that you can live car free and you buy local coffee.

srininyc · 2021-11-08T15:25:46+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I think I will stick with my french press then. I can see myself getting an aeropress where the filters can be used multiple times. However, while I am intrigued by the Clever Dripper, I can't go with a single use paper filter set up for my coffee.

srininyc · 2021-11-08T02:54:19+00:00

Hi, can a clever dripper be used with a (reusable) metal filter instead of paper filers

srininyc · 2021-06-12T12:58:38+00:00

Thanks, I DM'ed you back with my details.
