i use it because i know how to fix it, but linux desktop needs a proper recovery system for normal users to handle that kind of problem.
Windows is broken on steamdeck. the only OS that works properly is SteamOS for obvious reasons.
2. else, use their modem. having your own modem excludes it from their service tracking infra and you dont show up when theres problems.
your modem also isnt optimized for their docsis configs and isnt what theyre targeting.
3. the reason for the problems is mainline signal noise causing the modem to drop. cable modem is a conductive signal shared across customers and requires constant maintenance. for example coax lines running to other customers will send noise back upstream, a bad splitter, an improperly terminated end, bent cable, or especially - damaged lines. often hidden in walls and crawlspace.
coax service issues require actual experts to diagnose and fix. all giant isps like xfinity are in the business of getting rid of expensive salaries and equipment. the techs they are sending cannot fix the issue, and if you reject their modem youre deprioritized.
nobody wants to work with cable because its all about signal levels and signal balancing. Fiber is what theyre focusing on as they get paid by the fed to do it.
the regulatory agencies are long past their political debut and are only there to give corpo friends public funds. choose a different service.
Solar installers are low quality, expensive, destroy the roof, and existing utility companies will make you pay to grid tie. you wont save money.
the only time solar is worth it is a non grid tie DIY setup.
almost all homes have no ability to exceed gigabit. infact almost all new homes dont even have data wiring. people just want their netflix to work on wifi.
protons services are subpar compared to others anyways - mullvad has far better speed even with u.s and e.u trying to throttle their services.
we actually dont need the vast majority of for profit pharmaceuticals. billions invested in all political parties to make sure you think theyre the savior. thats why theyve banned antibiotics from anyone but an expensive prescription, create vaccines that get banned, and sell a lot of “mental health” drugs that tranquilize society.
burden is on you to demonstrate that we somehow have anywhere close to a good theory of how genetics work. we dont, it doesnt exist, because we dont know. your friends paychecks dont care much for science.
