My first IT adjacent job was remote support for Support Dot Com who contracted me out to Comcast. This was just as they were trying to get away from the maligned 'comcast' brand by calling everything 'Xfinity' like they think their customers are idiots. Well, turns out they mostly are. I don't even think I lasted six months. Despite having the best metrics in the company, I just couldn't take the abuse, or the lack of downtime between calls.

Anyway the point is you can call up Comcast and have them put your router into 'bridge mode' making it essentially an expensive modem, then connect your own router.

How do you charge for a service contract on a sticker?

Stressed-out, underpaid and overworked teachers just won't have the mental space to do these kinds of things.

Not only that, but teachers are now actively reprimanded for these kinds of interactions.

I had the displeasure of renting from them once. They screwed my young family coming and going, actively lied to us and misled us into making decisions that benefited them and squeezed us for every penny we had when we were just trying to get a footing in this world, and when we had enough and tried to fight back they responded by destroying my credit and making it impossible to rent elsewhere.

So you may say she didn't deserve to die for her evil deeds, but I'm not so sure.

No longer seeking a diagnosis under the current administration. Me and my children will do our best to stay out of concentration camps. In the meantime we'll manage as we have been.

Your supervisors are wrong. How they think that attitude is acceptable or normal is beyond me.

Nikolai Patrushev, aid to Putin, has accused the U.S. and the U.K. of intending to sabotage underwater internet cables and planning to destabilize the maritime energy trade.

Citing U.S. officials, CNN reported in September that Russia was developing a sabotage unit with submarines and drones to target underwater infrastructure by order of the defense ministry's Main Directorate for Deep- Sea Research (GUGI).

A Swedish investigation found evidence of sabotage on the pipelines between Russia and Germany. Moscow had initially accused the U.S. Probes by Sweden and Denmark were closed in February 2024 without identifying those responsible, although a German investigation is ongoing.

Media in Norway have reported concerns at the presence in the last few weeks of the Russian intelligence ship Yantar in international waters alongside its coast near critical seabed infrastructure such as oil and gas pipelines and cables for internet and telecommunications.
