What am I doing? Trying to explain basic networking to a Comcast "Tech support agent" so they can get our internet back up.

Ugh, good luck.

It came back up on it's own while I was on the phone with the tech. (The tech did nothing to make that happen.)

Then he said well it's working so it there anything else I can do for you? (I wanted to say "anything else? What the hell did you do for me." But, I just said thanks and hung up... I'm not sure why I have higher expectations when I call.

Reminds me of a time when we had an upload speed problem (because not enough channels picked up by our modem for upstream), and I was trying to explain to a tech support agent that "no, these are not cable TV channels."

Are you screaming into the phone yet? If you are, it sounds like you could be dealing with Windscream.

I want to get another year or two out of my Honda Insight. Maybe even another 100,000 miles (at 200k). But man, a Tesla would be nice right now.

Looks like your dummy light is on... Time for an oil change?

According to the computer code, some emissions thing that will cost me $800, but it goes off sometimes. So I ignore it for now.

Like a Ford, all the sensors going off all fo the time for no reason. Driving a Ford apparently is just living with sensors beeping all of the time.

Definitely not the same. This is an actual valid fault. I am choosing to ignore it until I am required to deal with it to pass emissions in January.

Oh boy. My Chevy has its ding ding ding, bright read flashes all the time too.

I was hoping the Toyota's that I was looking at was going to solve that problem. :disappointed_face:

I haven't had that experience with any Toyota I've owned / driven.

I am trying to get out of my Impala and was looking at pre-owned Camry's. Very very view available with 6-cylinder engines.

I have dealt with them as well. And yes, they are much worse. Once in a while I'll get a really good tech at Comcast, but never with Windscream.
