    Internal Teardrop DOS Attack from Joey

    It's likely the same as Netgear's false reporting. My PS5 in rest mode has constant traffic..and I still get the fake attack traffic as listed below: [DoS attack:ACK_Scan] from source: 31.13.65.3,port 443, Thursday, March 17, 2022 06:21:30 [DoS attack:ACK_Scan] from source: 157.240.229.34,port...

    Allo fiber coming soon

    I'm a few miles up the road and we managed to get the city to run us service. I knew that the fiber drop was 1 mile from my house, so I contacted the city and asked how many people they needed to sign up to make it worth it...between me and their fiber... they stated 30. I put together info and...

    Dish and Bitcoin

    400k or 1m? I thought the proposal was for a CGT on people making over 1mil..at around 42% or whatever.. If you look at the futures, there's gaps at $43k or so that have to be filled...and BTC ALWAYS comes back to fill those gaps. No matter what news and FUD causes it...those futures gaps...

    Dish and Bitcoin

    99% of the days that the Bitcoin network has been running, it has been profitable. Looking at the parabolic actions of it is being shortsighted.

    Dish and Bitcoin

    Sure, keep waiting on that to happen. Instead of thinking of bitcoin in financial aspects, think of it in blockchain aspects... Stop looking at cryptocurrency as a number... and think of it as a utility. Coins like XRP are settling cross-border payments in just seconds with barely any fees...for...

    DISH to Become National Facilities-based Wireless Carrier

    Charlie could be in some trouble with how he purchased that spectrum back in 2015.... https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/dish-ceo-charlie-ergen-in-hot-water-could-face-billions-in-claw-back-to-fcc Dish CEO Charlie Ergen is known as a great poker player, but not good enough to overcome a weak...

    Mesh Net or centrally located Access Point?

    The Orbi's are great, but before I got those, I used an EX8000. If you're going to use a range extender, you need one that has a 5.8ghz link for backhaul to the main router, and 5.8ghz broadcast for clients to connect (and 2.4 obviously). Otherwise, it's hard for a range extender to do it all...

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    I have a couple of the Samsung 4k sets (a 55" and 75") and the smart features seem to be pretty snappy. I rarely use the LG smart features but I also have a 32" monitor and it works fairly well.

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    totally lost on neutral...neutral to what? elaborate please? I mean..dont they all have ads? is there ANY platform where you're not going to be subjected to either ads or commercials? Unless you have your own media and media server, there's just no getting around it in this age. I finally...

    Hopper network connectivity errors

    It does sound like the Powerline adapter isnt necessarily needed? Even though you named the network the same SSID, it's a good idea to "forget" and reconnect to it with the Hopper. I've done this and a couple of devices get picky about it. Ideally, an ethernet cable would be the best option in...

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    Makes sense... I never watch the free stuff (the ad-laced offerings) so I guess I don't get as much "targeted" advertising. Normally don't do searches either, unless I specifically know a program and just can't find it. Otherwise, like my daughter watching right now..she goes right where she...

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    obviously the older Roku devices aren't going run as efficiently as the new ones, but I don't ever see anyone posting about their Roku being fried. My daughter, 8 y/o, uses our Roku 4k Ultra for 10-12 hours each day...still runs pretty efficiently. Prior to the Roku 4k ultra, she was using the...

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    What are people doing to them to cause them to fry? I've still got the very first Roku device. In fact, the thing is in a clear housing, as in the beginning, roku didn't have a black casing, it was see-thru clear plastic. I have a streaming stick, 3 ultras, and 2 or 3 Roku 3's. Same question...

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    I like the Roku, even though I have a firestick...right now it's located at my fire dept, for use when we are bored and sitting at the station... I will say that I am more involved with Roku because I am in close contact with the OS dev team for the Roku OS, and have been for a few years. I know...

    Netduma (dumaOS) and Netgear ....

    I don't own a single Apple product. And won't anytime in the near future. My devices are broad-ranging from PCs to water leak detectors. 7 smoke detectors. Thermostat. several roku boxes... I also do some contract work for a WISP.

    Netduma (dumaOS) and Netgear ....

    So...From what i can tell, the XR500 and XR700 from Netgear ship with DumaOS instead of stock Netgear firmware. Does that imply that all the XR series get DumaOS?? I only ask because I "heard" there's an XR1000 in the works and I'm curious if it'll be DumaOS also, or netgear firmware...

    Which Roku to buy?

    Like I mentioned..the first Roku that I ever got a hold of was unreleased to the public. It was clear/see thru, and it wasn't the best at loading up Netflix/Hulu. Back before Roku ever launched, the only thing they had was Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. There wasn't even a YouTube or a real channel...

    Projector x2, both show same image from a laptop (HDMI)

    Thank you harshness ...I sent this along to my contact who asked me to help so I'll know for sure when he answers if this is the set-up. It very well could be.

    Projector x2, both show same image from a laptop (HDMI)

    I am unsure of the exact setup. I just know that from the projectors, there is SDI ran into a component (2 SDI cables..one from each projector I believe). This component has RCA, S-Vid outputs plus the SDI inputs. Out of that, there are 2 S-Video lines ran into another component which is what...

    Projector x2, both show same image from a laptop (HDMI)

    I'm assuming where they come together in the ceiling (the projectors are maybe 30ft apart and face opposite each other, so one shows on North wall, one shows on South wall). they have something like VGA to SDI? Maybe...I'm not sure. They are Panasonic Pt - vx420u LCD projectors..both the same...

    Projector x2, both show same image from a laptop (HDMI)

    the laptop isn't doing anything. It's displaying a powerpoint..not even playing videos. They've already bought what they wanted, I'm just asking for a solution to the problem they have. They've used a laptop since it was installed 10 years ago.

    Projector x2, both show same image from a laptop (HDMI)

    So...this may not be the best place to find out, but i am pretty sure there's a guru here for this. Local church contacted me because i'm the "computer guy" for the area..and I'm already setting up their fiber when it is finished installing this week...they have a problem with a 10 year-old...

    Which Roku to buy?

    I have the very 1st Roku ... in fact, I have a solid clear Roku somewhere that you can actually see thru...that one wasn't released I don't think...but i still have it. Most recently, I've been buying the Ultras. Got 1 stick, but the ultra is where it's at for me. If the connection is wifi and...

    Is there a way to check download speed at the hopper?

    Is that the H3 or HWS? I know my switch is a gigabit switch because the PS4 is connected to the same switch as the HWS, as is my Samsung 4k and Roku 4k...I've just never seen the HWS get over 100mbps ...here's the test from my desktop: https://www.speedtest.net/result/9599065668.png
