Sounds similar to what's going on in the UK. People being arrested over social media posts.

Electric co installed a smart meter about 8 years ago. As someone else stated, I started to get static on AM radio stations immediately. FM was not affected.

Interesting. Thanks.

Who, me? My cables are all cat 5.

Does it go in any farther than one with a tab ? Update : I was able to get the tp-link adapter to work. I never did give the store guy $30 for it, if he tested it in the store, because he would not refund my money if it didn't work when I got home. I got a similar tp-link adapter for $12 on...

No. Read the posts. Someone used an ethernet cable with a modified end (on purpose) to connect to an ethernet port, because it worked better than a normal end. No telephones involved, lol.

Thanks! I may eventually do that. Hate to 'ruin' a cable, but I suppose it's not really ruining it, if it makes it work right.

That's a resourceful and innovative idea. I could not bring myself to knowingly break a tab off, lol, but, as a result of your suggestion, I tried wedging some folded paper into one side of the port so that the metal strips on the cable would be pushed against the metal strips inside the port...

Thanks, Nathan. The port being on my pc. I don't have a router. Just a coax internet cable coming out of wall into modem, then an ethernet cable going from modem to a pc. I do have another computer, and all my cables work when I plug them into the ethernet port on it.

I have USB-A ports available on my pc. I talked to the repair shop guy about it. That was actually the reason I had my pc at the repair shop. I wanted him to test the TP-link adapter on site there, so he could add any drivers himself. I don't like messing around finding drivers. It never works...

Hi. I have 3 ethernet cables, one is brand new. They snap in securely, but the computer says no cable is there. Took the pc to a repair shop to test it, and the cable they had worked, ie, it connected to the internet (which I can't do at home). I noticed their cable looked larger, and it...

Here's a movie thing that irks me. Why does the main character have to throw up? Am I the only one noticing this? Seems like 50% of the movies have a vomit scene. Completely unnecessary, imo, and gross. Is it supposed to make the movie 'edgy' or 'shocking'?

Pioneer turntable. Technics receiver. Big Criterion speakers. System sounds great. Hear everything. I think the speakers are the best part of it, since not only do they have woofer, mid range, and tweeter, they also have a HORN. How often do you see a horn on a speaker? It's shaped like an...

Just checking in to give everyone an interesting update. Highmark Blue Shield is now moving us all off of Fiton, and back to Silver Sneakers. Too many 'challenges' with Fiton. I talked to the front desk person at the gym I attend, and she said I ought to be able to just keep using my bar code...

Bobcat, thanks for that clear explanation.
