The dark times [phoneboy.me] in my childhood shaped a lot of decisions in my adult life. Of course, having to confront some adult things well before you’re supposed to will do that to ya.
@matigo a difference in opinion about whether I am complying with the terms of the agreement. My position is simple: see you in court.
My ex is starting some new shit and my divorce lawyer has noped out. Somehow, I suspect this will work to my advantage…
@variablepulserate that's not working either. More specifically, when I attempt to upload a new image…it does nothing.

@variablepulserate The company that is now Comcast started out providing Cable TV services, then became probably the largest ISP in the US. Their customer disservice is…legendary.
Upon factory reset of my Belkin RT3200, I discovered the WiFi password I had been using was no longer acceptable because it contained spaces and repeating characters. Funny, that password worked fine before I factory reset.
So, yes, I bought another WiFi doohickey, but someone suggested I try loading OpenWRT. I'm not above using non-factory firmware on consumer-grade routers, going back to the original Linksys WRT54GS with DD-WRT and others. Despite the semi-obtuse/incorrect documentation for loading OpenWRT from stock firmware on my Belkin RT3200 [openwrt.org], I got it working. And, hey, I can use spaces and repeating characters in my passwords now…and it'll actually get software updates once in a while.
Meanwhile, I expect that Amazon purchase I just made will get returned…
@variablepulserate Visible is owned by Verizon [verizon.com]. Even though the coverage is identical to Comcast (who uses Verizon), data service seems a bit more peppy. Most likely because of better prioritization…
Because I had forgotten the password to my WiFi router, I had to factory reset it. When I tried to enter the same password I had previously, it was rejected because it contained a space. Considering I entered this passphrase before and it worked, one can only assume some middle manager at Belkin decided it was ok to require passwords NOT to include spaces.
Funny, I no longer have space for Belkin (or Linksys) products in my life.
The one thing I appreciate about Number Portability is not having to talk to anyone at Comcast about cancelling their shitty service. That plus eSIM made switching to Visible…pretty easy, actually. Took all of about 10 minutes or so per line.
