#what is Ethernet

[angeloftheeasterngate]

I deeply appreciate that 3/4 love interests are confident, intelligent and capable and then there's Apollo, who has to get A Literal Teenager to call people on the phone for him.

day 4 no internet on my pc

[purgaytorysupremacy]

so I know the remote for my Apple TV (and proper tv) is here somewhere. I had my hands on it even and put it down, which means I will certainly come across it as I organize, but for now it is lost in the move. thing is. how do you connect it to the wifi so that I can use my iPhone as the remote if you don’t have a remote?? WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY it appears. but I’m weirdly proud that I managed it.

My free months of lila internet have ended and I'm paying for it now T_T I should have 3 more months of free service but I made the mistake of contacting support about something last month.

So when I signed up to lila it was cuz a guy knocked on my door. I was still in contract with vodafone so he offered a year free of lila to cover my contract. That year didn't start until my lila stuff went live in October so I've had free internet for months at this point :)

Anyway the guy wasn't supposed to offer the free service for that long of a time and lila just never checked until I contacted them I guess

I sent them a quick email to make sure I was getting charged the right amount and see if I can be cheeky and get those 3 months xD

instacart, please explain to me why the top result in my search for "Ginger Snaps" is oreos, and the first result for actual ginger snaps is ten down after sugar wafers and ritz crackers. Did you think I stuttered. When a bitch searches for gingee snaps its because a bitch wants gingee snaps.

sigh. same desk, same wifi network, same wifi settings (protocol/band/channel/adapter connections), same network adapter, same OS, same drivers, same brand, nearly identical specs. and yet this is what my person laptop gets versus my work laptop

(wifi died in the middle of the last speedtest lol so it just stayed at 0.0 upload)

Okay, so this just feels not very fair. I was finishing up my N7 Day Andromeda vid and just needed to capture a couple more scenes. But even though the recording seemed to start as usual, there was just nothing there when it was done. Then I realized that the Game Bar itself wouldn't actually even load. None of the fixes for that have, you know, fixed it. (The Game Bar was working as of Nov 2 because that's the last day I have any captures recorded.)

Digging around, I discovered that my computer is throwing errors left and right but just managing to correct from them and not crashing. Rather, not crashing yet. Clearly something is STILL wrong, despite having acted normal in the month since it was Blue Screening like mad before I reinstalled Windows.

But. Here's the kicker. My dad's computer started Blue Screening right after I got mine working again. The difference, though, is that it's very difficult to get his to restart. If I can get it to come on once more, I'm going to try to completely reinstall its Windows but I don't honestly know if it's going to be able to or not. This thing is pretty fried and, of course, is *just* past its warranty. 😣

I was already assuming we're going to have to replace his computer but now mine, which is much older, is starting to circle the ol' drain. He told me tonight to focus on replacing mine and not to worry about his. He's been able to pretty much do the stuff he likes to do on the computer via our tv's Fire Stick so he said he's not missing out on anything. But still. I'll feel awful if he gets bumped back because of me since he's already not had a reliable computer for the past 3 weeks.

That said, in my 20 some years of having computers, I've never before had BOTH of them in danger of being bricked at the same time. This just sucks so much! I just want to be able to make my silly little videos and to try to get my WIPs done with NaNo. I was actually doing pretty good juggling both up until now.

Ah well. I'm just venting, sorry. I may be gone again, depending on how things go. However, I did schedule my Andromeda video to post on Youtube on November 7 whether I'm able to get here or not. Will post it here and on my AO3 when I can. Even though it's not completely the vision I had for it, I still like how it turned out. Surprisingly, it's not a shipper vid this time. And probably nobody thought I could MAKE a character study that didn't have even a hint of shippiness, right? 🤷‍♀️😉

*sigh* I'm trying not to let this get me down but dang if I'm not just tired of pretending I have any idea how to fix all of these issues. I can't find any place decent to take them for repairs that doesn't want a ton of money just to reinstall Windows and since I can do that, I don't want to pay somebody else for something I can do for free, you know? But I'm getting to the point where I think they've either got some sort of hardware issues that just reinstalling can't fix or I'm just borking up the reinstall somehow. I don't know. I'm so, so, so tired of it.

Love you, friends. Hope you're doing well and that I'll see you again soon. 💖

Here's a sketch I put together during a particularly boring day in math class.
