I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with their customer service. Just about everyone that picks up the phone is an American and can clearly understand & fix your problem

why would you need support? only times i called was to ask why the hell my rate went from $50 to over $100 for just internet... they refused to lower it so next time i called was to cancel. now have frontier. fiber. started at $30, then when introductory rate expired, it went to $45 and has stayed there for years. also no downtime. I appreciate it when companies don't use predatory tactics and tend to stop doing business with those who do.

I have called spectrum to fix a broken cable distribution box in my back yard. 7-8 visits and 5 years later and it's still not done. every 6 months or so someone shows up, usually says something else was supposed to be done before they could do their part and then leaves. sometimes they do some work. its still an eyesore but its in a far back corner and i never see it.

if that was actually true I would quit messing with Plex tomorrow.

It’s true with some caveats.

VOD I believe is usually piped through debrid services I believe and it’s not super uncommon to get 2/3 through a movie and have it play like crap and need to skip to finish playing.

Quality is lower. You’re generally not going to get any 20+mbps stuff.

Shows take about a week to populate after released.

Live TV is not as good as YouTube. Most popular channels are better than good enough.

You’re on tiger droppings. On tech board.

I only tried it for a couple days during World Cup when some other service was down but it was excellent, way better than Pia/bunny/iptorrentz was 6 months ago.

lol wait until they change your http addresses to https when you minimize and go back, never mind they’re on your subnet. Apple’s attitude toward local apps is disguising. They can’t take 30% of free.

Nevermind. Didn’t read your post right. Could be a number of things.

Apple flags networks for a lot of things. Some important, others just not doing things Apple’s fav way like MAC filtering so they can’t use their random addresses.

Electrical engineer. data centers are fine but NIMBY.

1. Poor land use. Almost zero local economy boost for huge footprint that could be used better. They’re just big empty buildings sucking a lot of power while only needing minimal maintenance. The minimal full time jobs they offer, hands and security, aren’t great.
2. Increase energy demand without adding low cost supply. Effectively everyone subsidizes them even when they “Pay for every KWh of energy they use,” according to their Texas campaigns. At least the crypto mining firms offered to dial down during high demand. AI centers can’t do that.


If you let a data center in your neighborhood, the immediate area gets a lower density of good jobs and pays more for electricity. Not a good combination.

Spend it if you got it. Still limited by laptop form factor, but you can’t do better.

It’s a business. Everything they show you is intentional and typically has very little respect for what you asked for unless your query aligns with their balance sheet.

That’s what dependency bot is for.

Just wait until you get off chatGPT or enterprise version Claude Code and into approve all terminal bliss. You will NEVER have that problem. I promise. More like why the f did you refactor the codebase I told you not to touch.

Thank you. I think we can accommodate that. No wonder young people are dumb.
