Nope, they never once emailed me or made any mention of upgrading my modem. I had a technician out to the house a couple years ago because they said my connection was putting noise out on the line. They didn’t change it then. They sent me an xfinity  box last year (2 years after I upgraded to xfinity service) but also…

They didn’t bug me at all. In fact they upgraded my TV box to an Xfinity capable device but never said a word about my modem. In regards to the TV box, I’ve had Xfinity service for a couple of years and they never bothered to upgrade the multiple devices in my home.

I was once a big fan of Comcast and overall the…

Based on my math 7 years of $14/mo is $1,176. I’m not so sure you couldn’t have bought modems for that amount of money. I just bought a modem capable of 2Gbps for $185. I could get 6 modems for $1,176.

Doesn’t it seem a bit unethical to sign you up for a plan that the equipment doesn’t support? It wasn’t that hard to find a compatible modem, install it, call Comcast and have it activated. I’d rather save the $14/mo for Netflix of Disney+

And you think Comcast is going to drop everything and rush out to your house to figure out why? Thing is, if they buy a compatible modem Comcast will configure it for you over the phone. Once it’s working it’s doubtful that it will only partially work. It will likely just die, but not slow down.

I’ll tell you why I don’t agree. Recently I was having issues with my Internet performance. It was pathetically slow such that it was noticeable when surfing the web. Everything was working but the speeds were terrible. I called them and that’s when they informed me that the modem I had was old and would not support…

Well given that they told me the modem was compatible and given that I can prove the modem is operational then I have no doubt they will come and investigate why my service isn’t working.

If you can’t prove the device is operational then sure, you need to get that working first. 

I hope Logitech comes out with a model for the iPad Pro. I have a Logitech for my iPad Air, doesn’t have the track pad but otherwise is the same as this one. I see they have a BT keyboard which is nice in that you can separate the screen from the keyboard but I prefer to use the KB connector and not have to charge the…

I think by on-the-move he means not being at home. I don’t think he means being in a car driving around town playing video games. I can see the advantage, assuming you can get a decent play experience, of being able to use basic hardware and a fast Internet connection to play games. I can’t easily haul my desktop…

This is what I got at the top of my Google list

According to one site I Googled there have been no exploits on Win 7 in the past 4 years. There are vulnerabilities that can allow code execution and such and it would be particularly bad if known vulnerabilities weren’t patched.

it’s true that Windows 7 will be more vulnerable to attack

That’s one way of doing it, though it seems to me it’s more work. I’m not really worried about sites where I would use a burner email, since those sites usually don’t get any info that would be useful to anyone. It’s those core sites, banking, credit card, Equifax etc that are more important and more dangerous if…

Actually no. Common sense says you should not rely on a single method of securing your accounts. A password is a single point of failure and while I am not the sort of person to open strange email attachments my accounts have been compromised because some admin for some web site failed to protect my account…

I think the problem is that many of us aren’t idiots but when sites get hacked your password could be out there in the wild. 2FA ensures that even if they get the password it will be harder for them to crack the account. 2FA is a matter of seconds so I think the “waiting” comment is a bit overstated.

Some people have their head so far up their ass there could be a correlation. 

Sun Lamp or maybe one of those high power Mag Lites. LOL

It was probably a ‘news’ story on the Onion or BabylonBee. 

Yeah, I was just using Mophie as an example. There are other cases and as you say most are “Chinese”. Still many of them get 4+ stars on Amazon and it’s not like this is really complex technology.

Actually no, she doesn’t. First off we did complain about the constant Spiderman origin stories. And even though actors may have changed the character didn’t. We didn’t change Aunt May into some sort of activist poster child by making her character a gay butler type guy.
