When I switched to Business a tech came out (I think he was a contractor) and checked some levels. He explained it but I have since forgotten what he said. I recall being close to the limit of not qualifying. But is was good enough. My house was not wired for cox and there was no port. The

Back when I worked there early 2000's and took over the network from @home, we'd begun, at times forcibly, to get the business services installers to refurb the site more than normal contractors might for "just video". Mainly if there were even borderline issues, we pushed them to clean things

Anyone have sources on hardening a pixel? Can you auto encrypt data on Google’s cloud? is it easy to make S3 a default drive? Have we ever done a workshop about using Crouton or chrubuntu on a pixel? Since about 85% of all I do is web work or ssh into a Linux server I really think I can get awa
