I've been feeling pretty burned out of my job for the last 12+ months and was also diagnosed with sleep apnea. I have a CPAP which I'm realizing is a necessity but I can't use it more than 3-4 hours a night. Sleep doctors are mediocre. The last 2 hours of sleep are the worst. I'm sensing a cognitive decline to the point I'm debating quitting my job.

• I have issues with short term memory recall. If someone brings up a topic I usually remember it, but I cannot recall it on my own. I've also been trying to learn a new system at work and 6 months in I can't say I know it much more than I did one week in. I also fell into this role and it's not working out for me for various reasons but the cre

I've been thinking about ending things with my therapist for a while. Our conversations aren't bad, but I find them incredibly awkward at times. Her facial expressions have always felt very fake and it throws me off, she doesn't usually know what to say so will just repeat what I said. Therapy isn't cheap, and recently she asked if she thought I was "receiving enough support", in other words, should I start going weekly instead of bi-weekly. I sort of interpreted this as a money grab and brushed it off.

Now I feel like I got suckered into group therapy. I kept trying to weasel out of it but somehow she got me to accept. This is in addition to our normal sessions. It costs more money. I rem

My parents' house is a mish-mosh of one TP-Link AP to cover a corner, one UniFi AC Lite covering the main part of the house, and a cheap GL iNET travel router covering a deadzone in a corner bedroom. Powering the internet is a RB750GR3.

Everything is about 7-8 years old and time to be replaced with some AX gear. Everything has worked surprisingly well with virtually no complaints.

As everyone except my parents has long moved out, I don't need a crazy setup.

I was thinking of replacing everything with three wAP AX units. The directional nature of the wAP could be beneficial based on where the existing APs are located. I would have the internet (500x500) come into one wAP, which would conn

31M. No meds. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in December after constantly waking up in the morning with headaches and general inconsistency with how I feel in the morning. I'm 5'9" and 158lbs so not really overweight at all but could certainly put on more muscle.

Prior to getting diagnosed, I would typically sleep through the night. My heart rate, tracked on my watch, was consistent 55-60bpm and followed a normal pattern each night. Other than waking up feeling awful, my sleep was incredibly consistent. I would set an alarm but rarely needed it. Occasionally I would take 250mg of magnesium if I felt a little on edge and I'd get a much deeper sleep. That is no longer working for me.

I tried booking round-trip tickets last night and it became an infuriating experience. $66 each way, until the final step where my credit card was to be charged. I got the dreaded, "a portion of your reservation is no longer available."

I start over to see the first ticket jumped from $66 to $88. Return ticket was still $66. Try buying them again - boom, same error.

Go back a third time, return trip is now $120.

So in a span of 15 minutes, the same trip went from $132 to $208 while I was in the process of checking out. This trip is over 2 weeks out, why isn't the quoted price held for ~10 minutes so you can complete checkout?

I guess the only positive thing was I had to switch the retu

I've never taken more than a 2-hour trip so always stayed in one seat. I have a 5-hour trip coming up Monday morning on the northeast corridor and unsure of the etiquette on changing seats (like between coach seat and cafe car). It feels weird leaving my belongings in the original seat if I were to move, but it feels equally weird packing up and moving to another car. Or do I just suck it up, get my food and go back to my original seat?

This is at a Hilton Garden Inn, in the USA. Still running a 802.11g system, I estimate from 2005. Can't imagine the system even gets security updates anymore. I can barely load a web page let alone make a Teams call. Front desk has no Ethernet cables to give out, although I would be shocked if the port even works.

I searched around and couldn't quite find the answer I'm looking for, and am generally looking for anecdotal experiences.

I find myself in airports quite a bit. T-Mobile can be hit or miss, sometimes on a minute by minute basis. I also carry a US Mobile VZW line just in case (and also for the hotspot). It's come in handy a few times, but I barely use it.

My question is would Magenta Max improve my speeds in areas that may already be congested, compared to Magenta 1.0? I use less than 10GB per month, so I don't think I've ever been deprioritized. But I would be willing to pay for Magenta Max if it allows me to beat the congestion.

A lot of my T-Mobile issues in airports come from complete

I'm primarily a network engineer and have not kept up to speed on Microsoft technologies much in the past decade. Regardless of what I say below, the title is still my core question :)

I help a church with their technology. I deployed a WiFi solution, 60GHz bridge across the street, standardized on one model Dell PC for everyone, but the server is a really old Win 2008 SBS box. I want to come up with a scope of work for a MSP to do an upgrade and want to make sure the MSP is also following best practices (there are a lot of janky MSPs around)

Normally I would just deploy a new Windows Server but there is much more to consider these days. We've been using Google Apps for email since 2009. N

I wanted to add a family member onto my Magenta plan. It's not hard. I have a phone. All I needed was to pick up a SIM card. In Walmart, Walgreens, CVS I could find SIMs for every other company but nothing from T-Mobile. I went into a T-Mobile store the rep snarkily said "we don't do that here" (no customers in the store either).

Defeated, I went to the website to buy a SIM and their ordering system was down. Eventually it worked, and to their credit, the SIM is free online. But I could have driven to the store faster than it takes their Javascript to load and got my relative up-and-running today. And no I don't want to pay a $30 support-assist fee for someone to do what I can do myself.

I don't plan on touching rural areas, but in cities there's eNodeBs with dozens of cells associated. Many haven't been seen in years and the same PCI has been re-used on newer cells. Is it good practice to delete the old ones, assuming I familiar with the area? By "old" I mean 2019 and earlier. In a city you can usually find stuff mapped within the past week.

Edit: I don't plan on going on a mass purge or anything, just tidying up on the popular sites.
