    Need help with SIM unlock

    Any recommendations for a SIM unlock service that isn't a scam these days? The ones I've used in the past are either gone or now questionable (or worse). I had a Pixel 4 XL that was paid off and sold after upgrading to a Pixel 6. Xfinity claimed they unlocked it for me, which ended up not being...

    Chrome Canary - odd issue that just started

    Just stumbled upon something. I did a reboot and then went straight to Canary, and it worked again.... then stopped. So I rebooted and noticed the same thing happens every time. A reboot will buy me about 60 seconds of normal functionality, then it stops working properly. I'm at a loss as to...

    Chrome Canary - odd issue that just started

    Weirdest thing... I just installed a bunch of Windows updates as well as a firmware update from last month for the Surface Pro 3. Upon restart, Canary was fine! Then within an hour or so, it went back to the same problem again. And then it got even more buggy and crashed at random. So, I don't...

    Chrome Canary - odd issue that just started

    I haven't done that, only because I've weighed the hassle involved compared to the hassle of just sticking with regular Chrome, and decided it's not worth it. Conceptually, this drives me crazy. Why did it all of a sudden start? There must be SOME cause.... why can't I find it? But in day to...

    Chrome Canary - odd issue that just started

    I still haven't figured it out. I totally removed Canary, deleting all history in the process. Fresh install, still the same problem. I have no add-ons that would remotely have anything to do with scrolling.... I use very few add-ons at all, and nothing recently installed that hasn't been there...

    Chrome Canary - odd issue that just started

    About a week ago (maybe longer, but either way it just started fairly recently), Chrome Canary stopped working as it used to. Wondering if anyone has suggestions. I'm using a Surface Pro 3, sometimes in tablet mode and other times with the keyboard attached. I normally scroll pages using the...

    Weird NAS/network issue

    Mix of Wifi and wired. Interesting.... I rebooted my router several times during the troubleshooting process, but this morning I did it once more and now everything works fine. Not sure that's a satisfying answer but whatever, I'll take it. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Weird NAS/network issue

    DHCP. I just noticed something else amiss as well, possibly related. Other computers on my network can see this Elitebook and play shared music from it, or open shared pics, etc. Works just as well from looking at Homegroup or Network. But when I use the Elitebook I can't see other computers...

    Weird NAS/network issue

    I think it may have been just that - Ethernet connection on the .11 and wifi at the .15 spot. This is a laptop that lives in a dock 99.9% of the time but every once in a while a reboot causes it to connect via wifi when I normally use it by Ethernet. Either way, I can't get through to the NAS...

    Weird NAS/network issue

    It shows 192.168.1.11 and the same 255.255.255.0 subnet. BUT I just discovered something very odd. Using the Fing iPad app, I scanned my network.... and I find two separate entries for this computer. 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.15. They have different MAC addresses and both are able to be pinged...

    Weird NAS/network issue

    My NAS is an Asustor 602T, and their forums is way small compared to QNAP or Synology. So I figure I have a better chance finding good help here. Plus, the problem likely stems from my networks and not the NAS itself. It all started when my HP Elitebook 840 G1 refused to boot. Somehow the...

    Connection works via wifi but not ethernet.... makes no sense!

    All is working well right now, and I've sent a few larger files back and forth for testing with no issues. I'll see how long it lasts before losing the connection again. I do agree it must be something going weird with the wireless bridges, causing confusion. I suppose I could try the dedicated...

    Connection works via wifi but not ethernet.... makes no sense!

    Thanks for the help everyone. Let's see here: No, it's all on the same subnet. 192.168.1.1 is the main router on my desk, NAS is 192.168.1.12, media server 192.168.1.25. My laptop will vary based on connection. If I go wifi I usually get 192.168.1.6, and if I go ethernet I think it gives me...

    Connection works via wifi but not ethernet.... makes no sense!

    Ok maybe there's something larger going on here. I can't even access my NAS via the IP address in my browser, no matter what my connection (ethernet or wifi) from the laptop. I can get there just fine from an ipad or other laptop though. So, to reiterate, if I use my main laptop with wifi I...

    Connection works via wifi but not ethernet.... makes no sense!

    I just reread my initial post and maybe some clarification is needed. So the NAS and the media servers both live in different rooms. None of the rooms have Ethernet wired and my house is such that I can't realistically do that. So I use a router in each room converted to wireless bridge mode, to...
