    Someone dumps a mattress on your property

    Sad part is that the county dump here takes a lot of that stuff for FREE and they STILL illegally dump it.

    Beercans in the roadside ditch is a common sight around here.

    I was going to say, I know that inflation has been a problem but a $500 router isn't needed for gigabit internet.

    If they are, and if they are using the correct ends for the cable and a good crimper, there should be no problem. I've just seen so many incorrectly installed RJ45s (plugs designed for stranded cable used on solid cable being the most common issue)...unless I know for a fact that the person is...

    Field installed RJ45s are trouble waiting to happen. That's been my experience.

    Better to have the handyman punch the cable to a jack and use a patch cord. Much easier to make a good connection with a punch down jack than with rj45 ends.

    Battery maintainer charges to 14+ volts

    My riding mower battery has been connected to a $10 Harbor Freight maintainer/trickle charger pretty much continuously for years now. It's from August 2017. Still started the mower just fine as of about a month ago.

    Power Over Ethernet, which for that quote, they ought to be using POE equipment.

    Company “23 and me” hacked. DNA information on members and relatives released to web hackers

    I don't do my regular banking with Truist, only the estate account and that should be getting close to the point at which I can close it out (waiting on the IRS to process returns). Only reason I'm using Truist is that my dad's accounts were all at BB&T (which became Truist) so the easiest thing...

    Company “23 and me” hacked. DNA information on members and relatives released to web hackers

    They'd have to attempt a transaction with each computer generated number..and what bank is going to allow the huge number of attempts required before blocking the card? That is, unless, they happened to generate all the correct numbers on the first try. The lottery has better odds.

    Company “23 and me” hacked. DNA information on members and relatives released to web hackers

    Someone somehow managed to computer generate a valid 16-digit card number, an expiration date, AND a pin? The chances of that are very, very small.

    Company “23 and me” hacked. DNA information on members and relatives released to web hackers

    With regards to the theory that hackers who got into a 23andme account could have access to the raw DNA--no. You have to request your raw DNA file and they send you a download link via email. (I believe that download link expires after a period of time). So they'd have to break into your email too.

    I'm not sure how it happened...but I have an ATM card for the estate account for my dad's estate. I have ONLY ever used it in a Truist ATM, to make check deposits. Somehow about $125 of fraudulent charges for "Twitch TV" showed up on it. I had to call the bank to get them removed. No...

    Of my 8 great-grandparents, 4 were not born in the USA, 3 were born in the USA to foreign-born parents on both sides, and 1 was born to 1 foreign born parent and one US-born parent. Put another way, 15 of my 16 great-great grandparents were foreign-born. My mother is foreign-born (Germany). I...

    23andme doesn't have a family tree function. The most you can do is link your 23andme profile to another service that does, like Ancestry. Ancestry doesn't show family tree entries for living people. I have an Ancestry family tree and it only has direct ancestors of mine in it; I didn't put...
