re: Conflicting Speed-Tests
Posted by angry_german on 3/18/24 at 8:59 am
As previously mentioned Fast.com is owned by Netflix. A-Lot of ISPs now will have NetFlix Cache Servers, which are provided by NetFlix. So more than likely your speedtest to fast.com is hitting your ISP's local Netflix cache server. Which means it's staying local and not going out over the true inte...

re: Louisiana residents: REALISTICALLY, where else would you live?
Posted by angry_german on 7/14/23 at 11:50 am
I moved to AR around the Hot Springs area about 8 months ago from Southern LA. Love it so far. I also just bought some land on Toledo Bend. I’ll be building over there soon. So when I want to go visit back home I’ll have a camp by the water to stay at. Best of both worlds is the hope/plan....
re: Rural internet options -- Tennessee
Posted by angry_german on 5/8/23 at 3:13 pm
I mainly use mine for work because they’re portable. Some plans have data caps too so that limits your streaming. I generally get around 20-30 Mbps down and 10-15 up on mine. Not good enough if you have a houseful of streamers but plenty good enough for me to work on. ...
re: Rural internet options -- Tennessee

I have property in Arkansas and Louisiana and both are rural. I have an AT&T and Verizon hotspot. I just pack them with me and usually as long as I have Cell service I can work remotely. You can even bring it with you when you’re looking at the property. Connect to it and run a few speed tests just...

re: I just found out my parents have been paying $10 a month rental from the ISP for a modem
Posted by angry_german on 6/9/22 at 7:03 pm
If it’s DSL and they have a modem/router combo then Best Buy may not have that. You can buy your own DSL modem online but there usually is some configuration involved for them to work. So you’ll probably have to call them. I have CenturyLink DSL and I use my own modem but I did have to call and get ...
re: Need advice from an IT baw re Phone Options for Sales Call Center...
Posted by angry_german on 1/18/22 at 7:45 pm
You should have a local ILEC in the area. Basically that's your local telephone company. They are the ones who usually will wire up telephone jacks. That may not be Spectrum which is why they don't do that anymore.It sounds like the tech's "Toner" wasn't working and that does complicate things when ...

re: Anyone work in IT?
Posted by angry_german on 11/23/21 at 7:12 pm
The advice I usually give to people just starting out or are thinking about getting into IT is to be open to moving out of the area. At least temporarily. I can only speak from personal experience, most people I went to school with went somewhere pulling cable or doing help desk type stuff for a sma...
re: Anyone dealt with Lymphoma?
Posted by angry_german on 9/7/21 at 4:43 pm
I have a family member dealing with something similar. Based on their experience I'll say that if you're having night sweats and you've developed a lump, then I'd go see a doctor as soon as possible.
Similar to you they felt fine, but started developing frequent night sweats and then it started w...

re: Severe Burn survivors - Help/ Advice for cousin
Posted by angry_german on 3/13/20 at 6:43 pm
I spent a few weeks in a burn center a few years ago (Skin Grafts, Multiple Surgeries, etc..) I can only speak on what helped me but I can point to two things that helped.
1. Normalcy: Once I was relatively healed I just wanted things to get back to normal. I was tired of people trying to coddle...
re: CPU won’t even turn on.

If you end up looking at new machines. Make sure you get one with a Solid State Drive (SSD). That alone will speed up a machine tremendously. ...
re: IT Certification
Posted by angry_german on 7/16/19 at 1:42 pm
Anything security related is good to have. Any of the Cisco certifications are also good. Some kind of cert or training in VM Ware would probably be valuable too....
