i previously would get 65mbps on speed test dot net and i got an email from cocks saying that they doubled my speed for free. i now get 91mbps but the switch ports on my modem/router are only 10/100. is 91mbps the real speed i'm getting from cox or is that the most i can expect from a 10/100 port and i should buy a new modem with gigabit ports to take advantage of it

lease the modem from them for a month or two until they fix their poo poo then return it and plug yours back in

every time i've swapped a modem i had to call cocks and tell them the mac before it would work. fortunately cocks has great customer service and the whole ordeal takes 5 minutes

Oh, forgot to mention I sinfully cohabitate with a woman who very much cares about what things look like, and even conduit along the wall is out. Otherwise I totes would have done it already.

are you talking about conduit or raceway? conduit is hella ugly but you can get baseboard/crown molding raceway that won't look hosed up

i have a nas4free box on a toaster-sized hp microserver n54l that is very needs suiting

i think hp caught on though because the n54l is now like $400 when i bought mine new for $250 in 2013

i was just going to recommend the same thing. i got it in 2013 for $220 and that included a usb 3 external enclosure, usb 3 card and a 250gb drive

do Seagate external hard drives still fall apart? Amazon has a 5tb external Seagate on sale for $129 and a 4tb WD for $131. I know their reputation is not for reliability and the last Seagate I had died within 6 months taking my vast collection of Linux ISOs with it, but I also know WD puts lovely drives in their external boxes too.

lol just make sure you get an sata m.2 slot instead of a pcie m.2 slot because the latter aren't really made or supported well

that's dumb. if you're going to throttle yourself to sata speeds why bother with m.2 at all

incredibly valuable addon

i use this and now i only hear the awkward sponsorship segues instead of the actual skillshare/brilliant ads. it also cuts out the annoyingly loud intros on hydraulic press channel

okay this one has me stumped

i got a sarnsung chomebook that i use as a tv. today i started seeing a bunch (i guess?) of videos with MASSIVE CONSTANT ARTIFACTING and other assorted hardcore MPEG decode errors

my pixelbook was still on the old version, i was able to watch the pbs spacetime video normally both before and after updating. sorry about your sarnsung

dell solves the power problem by just sending 160+ watts on a single usb-c cable

i'm using a dell precision 7670 with a dell wd19dcs. it will complain about not at full power if i just connect one of the cables or the single cable from the wd19s they also sent

i would think only two of the pins are metal on either, and depressing the switch would close the circuit. use a continuity tester on the old switches to see if they're even broken
