I've seen the posts, but now I've heard it for myself.

AA completely botched a PNR, rebooked me on a different flight 'because of a cancellation' of the original. Original flight re-appeared in the system moments later (clearly some kind of glitch). No big deal. Just call in and have them fix it, right?

They weren't willing to move me back without charging (which makes no sense). I told her I just wanted to be moved back to the flight I was on, and the seat I was in (which was open). The agent finally said "All I hear you do is complain." I said "Excuse me?" and she said "All you f****g people do is call and complain"

Did she think I called to discuss the weather?

Turns out, th

I was on CLT to PHL last night. No PDB (which I am aware is hit or miss). One of the coach FA recognized a passenger as a regular and got him a PDB (vodka/orange if you are curious). The FA just stood in the galley during boarding and complained about the gate agent. Eventually the gate agent came down, and some kind of disagreement happened (it was trivial), and they complained about her more (now, to be clear, she wasn't exactly the pinnacle of friendliness or of customer service, but she did make announcements, open the door at the right time, and she did clear all standbys/upgrades, so it's not like she was horrible at her job). They had no room to talk about customer service..

The biggest driver of newer Eero products being released is the approval of new WiFi standards, which support faster speeds, lower latency, and make meshing system like Eero perform significantly better. In 2016 when the OG Eero was introduced, the average internet speed in the US (according to ooma) was 39 Mbps. It has continued a steady increase in speed since then with more and more fiber being deployed and cable companies moving to newer standards like DOCSIS 3.1 or 4.0. In 2025, ooma reports a 214Mb/s average, which is greater than a 5x speed gain (on average) nationwide in less than 10 years. Verizon FIOS, for example, was advertising 100Mb symmetrical residential connections in 20

Troubleshooting An Eero System

If you are having problems with your Eero network, this post should help you do some basic troubleshooting and allow you to collect the information to help us help you. This guide should be followed before posting for advice, because these are the steps people will ask you to follow (even if it doesn't seem relevant).

The first thing that we will ask you to do is confirm your topology. Topology is a description of what is plugged into what. Correct topologies look like this:

All this being said, a correct wired topology is either:

Modem -> First Eero -> switch -> all other Eeros

-or-

Modem -> POE gateway -> all Eeros

The things we are looki

Hello,

I have a vehicle that is out of the initial 90 day period, but is covered by max care. The backup camera is so cloudy that it's unusable. I've determined that the camera needs to be replaced (the lens that took on water is internal), and I'd like the dealer to do it. Does anyone know if Maxcare will cover it?

I have a countertop airmsen dishwasher (also sold under many other brand names on Temu/Ali/AliExpress/Walmart/Home Depot). As far as I can tell, these are all exactly the same, except for different control panels.

Judge me if you want, but I decided to try to covert one of these to a PCB washer (to wash off flux). Works great. Biggest problem is that the cycles are entirely too long. It dumps half the tank, washes for 10 minutes, drains, dumps the other half of the tank, 'rinses' for 10 minutes, drains, and the cycle is over. What I'd like it to do is to cut those cycle times to 3 minutes x 3 or 4 cycles (or something like that).

I took the 'control panel' off, turns out it's just

Hello all,

I apologize if any of this has been covered here, and have tried to use the search function (without good success). Crossposted from r/Volkswagen. I’m pretty much at wits end and I’m hoping somebody here has a guess (guessing r/Volkswagen is mostly enthusiasts and less mechanics). Apologies in advance if there’s too much info.

I have a 2018 TM3 with about 180k on it. Original shocks/struts (4th control arm though!). They pass inspection, service center says they are fine (have had two SCs look at the vehicle).

Here’s the reason I’m doubting: I’m any inclimate weather, the car constantly feels like it’s about to ‘spin out’. While other vehicles are doing 65 in light rain or light snow on treated roads, I’m doing 40-45 with hazards on. All passengers can feel it, it’s absolutely terrifying. I’m beginning to suspect that the shocks aren’t pushing down and the car is bouncing on every little bump. Possible that the weight of the car disguises this phenomenon in dry weather.
