To be honest most "Smart" TV's suck anyway. I wouldn't buy a TV based on being "Smart" because to be honest the "Smart" part of the TV is why they are so cheap, because companies are able to sell ads and preinstall apps for extra money which is what brings down the price. Honestly external boxes like the Amazon, Roku, Apple or Nvida Shield are probably going to be the best option. At least thats been my experience.

No the issue is on 2.4 Ghz there are only 11 channel available, and out of those 11 only 3 dont overlap (1, 6 and 11). So that part of the spectrum gets filled quickly and 2.4 Ghz also can go a decent distance. 5 Ghz is generally less congested and has lower range and penetration power and the spectrum is shared with Radar. So any of the DFS channels fall in to the part that Radar uses and therefore if you have Radar in your area im pretty sure those channels wont function. Hell because companies have to have special certifications on devices that can do DFS channels many just dont support those channels at all. Your best bet is to use a WiFi analyzer app on like a phone or tablet and that can tell you what channels are clogged and not. Also should be able to measure signal strength in different locations.

From what i have read, likely NO. I read something that newer wiring standards such as Arc Fault breakers can cause interference. Older wiring also causes issues. Electrical cabling is not designed for data, its a miricle that it even works at all in my opniion. Moca is the other option, but that assumes you have coax at both locations and the wiring in the apartment is half way decent. Plus there are caveats for the tech. Firstly needing a Moca filter on the main cable line coming in to the apartment to prevent the signal from leaving on to the ISP's network. Next wiring needs to be at least RG6 from what I have read. The adapters are expensive. The more moca devices on the network the slower the moca network gets.

They are offering extended updates after EOL, but only for those who will pay for it. Furthermore they are working on Windows 12, at least that's been the rumor. Microsoft is not going to make the same mistake they made with Windows XP, but supporting it all those years.

It comes down to a couple of things. If all you do is game on the machine, then running Win 10 after EOL is probably ok. I personally have upgraded my gaming machine to 11, BUT I also have a Mac book Pro and a Steam Deck, and gaming on Linux at least on the deck hasn't been a bad experience. My mom's machine doesn't meet Windows 11 requirements. Many say just by pass them, but with Microsoft's track record they will do something to make things painful in the future and future me doesn't want to have to deal with the BS. She will either learn Linux or she will buy a pre built or have me buy parts to build one.

You have to pay for Plex to get this functionality. Not sure if they still offer it but the Life Time license was $119 when I bought it.

Unfortunately checking the stats you will have to figure out on your own. We do NOT rent xfinity equipment. So the process on our cable modem is probably going to be different then their gateway. For me I go to 192.168.100.1 in a web browser. I dont think that will work for you.

Thats not a modem. Firstly fiber doesn't use a modem, it uses a media converter. Secondly what you have their is a gateway. A Media converter / router. If you did NOT put the gateway in bridge mode and your using one of the EERO mesh devices as a router, you effectively have two routers in the mix. That means your double NAT'ed. You need to figure out how to put their gateway in to bridge mode, as I dont know if putting the EERO is not AP mode will work with Mesh mode.

Could be an issue at a peering point. Might be a signal issue (signal marginal going in to the Xfinity gateway). Could be congestion on the Xfinity network. Could be physical damage of a cable or connection inside or outside the house. First thing Id do is check all the coax connections and sure they are firmly tight. Second thing Id do is reboot the Xfinity gateway. 3rd thing Id do check the signal stats and make sure they are with in spec. Compare signals to this

Just dont buy any more of their games. I have several devs I wont buy from period.

You have another wired provider in your area. We do not. Its either Comcast, Satellite or Cellular.

Was paying $96 and now we are paying $66. We could get $10 off if we did auto pay, but my folks dont feel comfortable giving crapcast their banking info.

My advice is to talk to your primary healthcare provider. They will have a better idea whats safe to put in to your body. At least in the US many of these "Supplements" are not regulated and you cant be 100% sure what they put in them and what they will do to you.

Because they dont want to use the service while using Windows, Mac, and Linux. Most of the time using the service thru a web browser provides a lower quality. Because in their eyes using a computer means higher likelihood of you screen capturing the video and distributing it, basically they think you are a pirate.

Except you missed the point of the post. Because some skilled trade jobs were off shored and a lot of people lost their jobs, Skilled trade jobs became the jobs that people didnt want. My dad sat me down and told me not to go in to the trades period. Collage was the only way. When people piss and moan about how much work on your car or work on your house costs they dont understand that we are short on the people who can do these jobs and in some cases people in these jobs get screwed over. Not to mention with all the boomers retiring thats going to be less people in the trades. Prices will continue to go up.
