  • Weirdly enough I just had this done in my place. Word of advice, replace as much of the copper as you can in that area. If you have 1 leak now theres a good chance another one along that line will pop up not long after. I should know since I had about 5 leaks in 10 years. We finally ripped out all the walls so we could do the entire run to prevent any new ones again. The link you sent was exactly what we used to link the existing pipe where we cut to the new PVC pipe put in its place. Just make sure both pieces fit snug together through the connector before tightening and thats it. To cut the pipe out we just used a sawzall with proper blade to cut through it.

    I really didnt know much about any of this so most of this was from the help of my father who pretty much does everything lol. So I hope my advice is correct as he is not a plumber but just someone who does everything. With that said he has done 2 full remodels of houses basically himself and passed inspections on them without issues so I do trust his advice.


  • Lol dont complain to much. You could be like me were i only have 1 option and although they just now released fiber earlier this year, im not paying the price for it. I’ve been stuck on 200mbps down and 30mbps up for years now and I’m paying as much if not more than people a few towns over that get 1gb. Also my ISP has no plan that allows over that upload speed no matter what plan you pick.









  • I am just straight up pissed more than anxious. I’ve been with the same place for 20 years and have seen it all. The last 8 years have been about the same which was around $450 a month for a family of 4. I can’t really complain at all about that. This year alone? They addressed it right away warning us. We’ll after signing up for the same tier, which is now worse in every way as well, it’s now $1300 a month. So this place that has barely given any raises in the past 5 years is now actively taking away an extra $1k a month extra starting next year for a service worse than i get now. Im nervous and angry and just not sure what to do exactly.



  • It doesn’t specify what apps… how broad will this be? The good news is i was already looking for alternatives a few months ago, and I think i see a few that will be a better solution anyway. Screw Amazon, and i hope they underestimate the percentage of people that only use this for those reasons. From everyone I know, I am pretty sure none of them use it for just legitimate reasons. I dont even use it for illegal streaming, but will they consider apps like plex, emby, and jellyfin as potential threats?


  • The article i saw a few days ago specifically mentioned that they didn’t really talk about the price but when asked if it would cost more than the ps5 pro they didnt really say no and only offered that it will be priced accordingly to the hardware used to make it. To me, that most likely means it’s going to cost around $1k. The absolute max is would ever be willing to pay is like $600. I have no doubt it will sell, but at that $1k price, they will severely limit the group of people that will be buying it. Honestly, if that is the cost, they should be shying away from even associating it as a console and just market it as a PC due to how people think.
