AskWoody PlusI once felt compelled to stay on that speeding, bleeding edge.
I am quite happy now on the ‘healing edge’.

AskWoody PlusThere is always a ‘middle way’ with regulation, stray from that and troubles will ensue.

AskWoody PlusI am a little confused, my first impression was that the sound waves were being picked up and sent to the AirPods FROM the IPhone. (which would cause the battery to be drained from the BT radio).
There are cheaper hearing aid type devices available now for a fraction of the price of a ‘HEARING AID’, which have been kept at a very dear cost by audiologists.
What is the advantage of this arrangement besides ‘coolness’ ?

AskWoody PlusI use Nvidia App (replacing GeForce Experience)
Never knew that. Does it have lower over head than GeoF? Seems to have a lot of stuff I do not want.

AskWoody PlusNovember 21, 2024 at 4:51 pm in reply to: Trump expected to try to halt TikTok ban, allies say #2719200If social media like tictok is not a threat/potential threat why does the PRC prohibit Facebook and not tictok? Its because FB is from ‘there’ for China and tictok is from ‘here’ for them. Just the opposite for us.

AskWoody Plusit could be a randomized MAC.
As an example, many phones these days publish a randomized MAC address so maybe look for devices on your network that have that capability.
I’m sure you’ve already made a list of all your devices and compared it to what your router is saying.
I am suspecting that but any devices I can think of here do not have DEV-6E:1F:F2 as a name likely I did something I forgot about .

AskWoody PlusOk but I still wish to know how it got cachens3.mcleodusa.net, where DOES that come from? I see no relation to anything, it had to come from some place. I maybe will look into where nslookup gets that info.
