I know someone who is trying to get their young kid evaluated and potentially diagnosed and now they're having second thoughts. I don't know how they're putting this registry together but I wouldn't want my kid on it

We were told it was not optional coming home from an international flight last month. However, our toddler was with us and nervous and they said we could opt out for him. I said great, thanks. Picked him up while we were talking and I wasn't really thinking about where I was holding him. The agent looked over, smiled and said hi to get their attention, and I saw him take the image, seconds after we verbally opted out. Sigh.

Oh! I just realized we have a Yolink hub connected to Ethernet, and it's online. So yes, Ethernet is working and WiFi came back online after a router reset. Now I just need to figure out how to make sure this doesn't happen again....

Thanks, we're in the US and use a small local ISP that just serves our general area. I keep this account anonymous so wouldn't give specifics.

hAP ac² router, belongs to the ISP. Unfortunately I don't have an Ethernet cable handy to test with at the moment.

Our WiFi hasn't come back yet so I'm probably an hour away from a really awkward phone call 😮‍💨

New to this, but just set up Stremio on my desktop with a paid Real Debris subscription, and added the Torrentio (along with some other addons).

Worked amazing this morning - watched a new episode of our kids favorite show that we didn't have access to before (~20 min long) flawlessly. BUT when we tried to load the next episode we lost our internet connection. I thought it was a fluke, but our ISP is pretty reliable and it just happened again. Tried to load a show, it was slow and laggy, then we lost our WiFi.

SO, obviously there's a problem. We aren't on a VPN yet because I read that we didn't need one when using RD, but something is clearly wrong and I don't want to piss our ISP off and lose our service.

I'm not using it of course until we figure it out. I've considered getting Proton VPN and trying with that, but I feel like after two times losing our connection I probably better not make any mistakes. 🫤

Advice please?

UPDATE: Resolved, I think. 🤞 Our WiFi came back after a while, and I made a few changes. I deleted the newer version of Stremio and replaced it with the older stable version, changed DNS to quad9, double checked my Torrentio configuration, and ran it using Proton VPN. It was slow and laggy, but I think that is more to do with WiFi speeds here than anything else. Tried without VPN and it still worked but didn't improve speed.

Yeah its not like our bodies need sugars for so much critical functionality that we evolved a reward system for eating it /s

I'm an exvangelical atheist and I do find myself wishing this whole administration would go rot in hell, so I guess you could say in some small way they've brought religion back to my life.

But seriously, this is fucked.

There really is no rock bottom for how fucked this situation is, is there?

No food individually "causes" obesity and health issues. Overuse of some foods can. If we want people to be healthier, maybe we should offer free accessible cooking classes, or (gasp) not put people in the position where they have to work so much to pay the bills they don't have time to prepare healthy food.

All this does is punish people who are already in shit circumstances. Maybe they want a treat for their kid, maybe they want to have a fun movie night, maybe it's none of your business?

I used to have a few of them. Everyone who saw them thought they were diseased, but they were just my cute mini vultures to me 🤣

So people are supposed to get excited about voluntarily scanning their eyeballs and giving the data to a private company to prove that they're a human, to theoretically protect themselves from AI imposters generated by... The same dude's other company. And people are actually doing it because crypto bribes.

Goddamnit, Black Mirror is supposed to be a cautionary tale, not aspirational. I'm so tired.

Pink cupcakes with green frosting. The color scheme began when we made strawberry cupcakes and our toddler asked to make the frosting green "like a leaf" so the whole cupcake looked like a strawberry. Now regardless of the flavors, he always wants those colors. I think it's great 🤣
