Re: My poor internet connection
What connection speed are you supposed to have?
Even with a properly working Internet connection, downloading six disc images at the same time while listening to online radio might take a while.
Also, I don't think your laptop needs a 350W power supply. -

Re: My poor internet connection
Looks like you should check the outside telephone wiring and use a real short telephone cord between the jack and the modem.

Re: My poor internet connection
Lol. The AT&T tech came out and screwed it up even more. They're not ever coming back. It's not the phone line, it's just because we're not in a big city.
Mind you, it's not that bad when I'm not downloading 6 huge ISOs, etc...

listening to eminem is the reason. It makes the lines melt with embarrassment for humanity to have to carry the data that compiles the annoying noise known as eminem...
Furthermore, I have no sympathy for you. Spend a day on my rural DSL connection and then whine about what you have...

Re: My poor internet connection
Oh! I thought you home-hosted badcaps.net!
Now it's all clear to me...you having internet outages at your house but badcaps.net still loading.
Anyway, I think you should move it to a different datacenter...I often have trouble loading BCN when all other sites load fine...or it's just really slow...
You're not on shared hosting are you?

Re: My poor internet connection
Meh....a blazing internet connection isnt really needed for here. I did all my downloading when I was sitting on a T1 back in the day. There's nothing I really want to DL anymore anyway. If I want an ISO or something big, I start the DL, and it'll be done in the morning.

Re: My poor internet connection
I'm picking other mirrors for stuff when the downloads come slower than 1-3 MB/s ....
It sucks for you... US has the biggest amount of dark fiber but the ISP people take advantage of the monopoly or duopoly and deals they have with the cities and bleed you dry...
Naturally, I agree there are places where it's not profitable to pull fibre for 50 people in a remote village or something like that but that's no excuse to not be able to offer good connections in big cities.
This is what competition does... I can probably pick between 5 ISPs here in this town of a bit less than 2 million people.
100/6 cable, no transfer limits etc ... even across the ocean i can reach about 60-75 mbps with several simultaneous downloads if I want to.
This is about 25$ a month, tv is about 15$ separately.Comment

Re: My poor internet connection
no, that is supply and demand.
in the us:
the supply is limited to what company x puts out. the demand is how much consumers are willing and able to pay for the connection at a given number of connections sold. consumers, as a whole are willing and able to pay more because if not, they would have the connection cut. since there is a lack of competition, consumers have no substitutes to got to, and thus, it is pay or do without.
in Europe:
the supply is much greater, reducing costs and increasing connections sold. the demand is still how much consumers are willing and able to pay at a given number of connections sold. since there are more substitutes due to more competition, if the price goes too high, consumers will choose a different company to get the connection.
also factoring in is that Europe has less places "in the boonies"; in the US, there are more rural places where getting a connection costs the company a larger amount. In fact, some areas are so far out that the only connection they can get is dial up (had it not been for the rural electrification act, the phone and power lines to do such wouldn't exist either).sigpic

Hello, I'm new to the group and to trying to repair a LCD TV. During the past few years, I've been collecting/repairing/restoring vintage personal computers (Commodore, Apple II, Atari, TRS-80, Texas Instruments, and Timex Sinclair). This has been my retirement hobby. Now I've gotten interested in trying to repair a LCD TV that I have and used regularly when working on vintage computers.
The LCD I'm working on is a Insignia NS-LCD019. I've downloaded the service manual that I could find, but it must be a different revision since not too many items in the service manual match the TV... -
Working on an 820-00850 board that had liquid to UB400, QB631, QB640 and QB630. I replaced all, and board powers up fine, restores fine, but it has one weird quirk that I've not seen before: It will crash and restart at the same exact time every single time--once internet recovery loads. So, the board will power on and sit at the select-wifi-network screen indefinitely. I can select a WiFi network and load Internet Recovery, but the instant it finishes loading and prepares to actually load the language-select screen for internet recovery, it restarts.

I have a drill and battery but no charger so I bought a "universal charger" 120ac in ... 12vdc out (not really universal in lithium world). Anyway it has three contacts, positive, negative and "T" (temperature sensor). I connected those contacts to the contacts on the battery. No charging happened and only the status light is on (green solid) which the label indicates "100% charged".... but the battery isn't near that at around 9v and dying. There doesn't appear to be any difference whether the battery is connected or not. I got suspicious and pulled the... -

Hello, i have a batch of 10 Macbook Pros A2179 bought from a Costco return wholesaler.
The 10 of them show the exact same behavior;
They auto power on, to internet recovery spinning globe, fans to 100%.
Power consumption on USB-C port is 0.43a, shuts down as soon as unplugged. Battery doesn't charge at all. However, it boots to 20V on the Ampmeter.
Based on their iBridge versions (4.x and 5.x) these were shelfed for a long time.
All of them power on the same way; 100% fans, shut down as soon as they are unplugged. Removing...
