I get that it’s expensive for Comcast to roll trucks, & that many problems are with a user's own equipment, but with pretty much every interaction I've ever had with Comcast, the impression is that the sole job of the agent is to get you off the line, and they only want to create the illusion of tech support. (And, for what it's worth, I've had Comcast roll trucks about 3 times in the last 5-7 years, and every time they found an issue outside the home, in the neighborhood, that fixed our issues)

A tale in 4 parts, part 4 (paraphrasing):

Me: "How much longer can our neighborhood expect these daily outages?"

Comcast: "I've checked with our backend team and you won't face any inconvenience in the future."

Uh, thanks?

(I left out his attempts to sell me their mobile phone service)

A tale in 4 parts, part 3 (paraphrasing):

Me: "Did you actually fix something?"

Comcast: "Rest assured."

Me: "Well, then what was causing the neighborhood outages?"

(Long wait)

Comcast: "Improvements to our 10G services in your area. And here is a credit to your account for your troubles."

A tale in 4 parts, part 2 (paraphrasing):

Me: "Is my neighborhood's problem fixed? I suspect when I tell my neighbors that the fix for the neighborhood's problems was to restart my home's modem, they will be very doubtful."

Comcast: "Please ask your neighbors to contact us."

A tale in 4 parts, part 1 (paraphrasing):

Me: "Hi, Comcast. We've been having frequent daily outages in our neighborhood. I confirmed it is not just my house."

Comcast: "OK, I just rebooted your modem for you. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

People for three years: Stay away from me!

Apple: Here's how to get close.

The background music during the WWDC keynote is drowning out the presenters. I supposed it could be my Studio Display speakers, but shouldn't Apple have tested for that?
@caseyliss Well look at that.
I see everyone sharing this, so here you go.If you ask Chat GPT for a great productivity tool and it mentions one that shut down years ago, blame me. Given I haven't updated my site in 3+ years, Chat GPT certainly doesn't value recent data over older data, even accounting for its cutoff date.
