PSNOT 3.0 - Let's Talk About University of Kentucky, Baby!

Wait a god damn minute here. Butt buddy is a gay thing?! But that would mean if you're calling someone a butt buddy, you're basically insulting them for being gay, right? Wow, that definitely wouldn't fly for me because I'm super chill all the time man. Super chill people don't bash each other over something like that.

 
I thought butt buddies were people that headbutted each other as an expression of comradery. like a more intimate high five. learn something new every day.
 
So my biggest concern about switching to DSL came true. For whatever reason it only works in one jack in my house so far that I've tested, and its upstairs in the corner bedroom. I don't know if the phone jacks don't work or its wired weird or what, but the  Wifi signal is garbage on my main floor and it doesn't allow me to hard wire my consoles or TV, which is basically essential.

I called and they said I should be able to fix it myself with the telephone box, but I don't really understand how to do it. Otherwise they wanna charge me $85 to come out and check it out...

 
Shouldnt they have asked you which room you want the outlet to be in? 

I don't know what a "telephone box" is, but at my house, we have the cable line coming into the basement and there's a big ol splitter that routes the connection to each room in the house. I just bypass that though and have it send to one outlet in the office I work from since my work computer needs to be hard wired to connect to my VPN. And then I hard wire the stuff in that room like my house computer, PS4 and PS3. Wifi for everything else in the house.

Go to psnprofile to your trophy log, in the filter change to only show platinums.
Highlight everything and copy & paste into notepad
Re-highlight everything in notepad and copy again to paste into Excel (this prevents all the pictures you highlighted on the webpage from pasting in excel)
Sort first column to ascend.
Delete the few time stamps that are mixed in with the percentages
auto-sum the list of percentages and then divide that total % by the number of plats.

Also you can skip the Notepad step by pasting in Excel using Paste Special and then selecting Text in the pop up window.

Yes. Originally they said they're just going to send a starter kit for me to use myself, which is easy enough of course. They actually try and charge you for the initial hookup too if they have an installer come out.

So anyways I assumed they'd send me the starter kit and I"d check it out, but I got home yesterday and there was a note on my door that a tech guy stopped by and hooked up the wires, the one that is connected to the northeast bedroom on the top floor. All they would have had to do was TELL ME that a technician was coming out I would have made sure to be home and ask him to set it up the way I wanted. fucking idiots.

So I feel like all you need to do is call them and tell them this and there's no way in hell they should be charging you to do it since they screwed it up in the first place.

Right?!?! I had no idea I had one on the back of my house.

When FiOS came out to do their install a year ago he could only get the jack working in the bedroom for telephone. Which is fine we have a cordless phone anyway. Wanted to charge extra to troubleshoot the jacks in the living room and kitchen. I cut the wire for the living room and shoved it inside the wall. Our phone box is on the wall outside of it so I would just run a new one if I cared. I think my brother spackled over it when he painted.

Basically the red and green pair are probably line 1 and the yellow and black are line two if it is old school wiring. Chances are the DSL is on the red and green but I guess it doesn't have to be.

The wire is usually strung in serial but again doesn't have to be. If it is broken somewhere between the phone box on the back of you house and where you want it you are SOL. You will have to run a new section of cable. If they do it they will tack it along the baseboard over door frames and it will look like shit.

The phone lines in this house are a mess. My dad worked for Verizon and offered several times to take a look at it but for us having the one phone jack in the bedroom is fine. I have a wall phone on the wall in the kitchen that doesn't work. Looks better then the ugly wall plate.

I would open up the jack that works and see if the red and green are wired to the jack. If so open up a jack that doesn't work and see maybe a wire came off or something.

It is really simple but the issue is if the cable is broken somewhere or disconnected in a crawl space, basement, attic or some place you can't get at you are fucked.

Be ready for the "It's your internal wiring and you'll need t pay to have that fixed" response.

 
Um what the fuck? I've tried to complete two Helldivers missions online. We finish the objectives and extract and then it tells me host is migrating and I get kicked to the menu.

 
This image shows two feeds coming into one jack.  One line could be from the box on the house and the other could be going to a jack somewhere else in the house.  If you notice all the red wires are on the top left screw.  And all the green wires are on the bottom left.  The Yellow and black wires are not connected at all.  

So if the bottom cable is the one in your bedroom that doesn't work you would want to make sure the red and green are firmly connected.  If they were disconnected here the jack wouldn't work in the bedroom.

Not sure what it is with people not redeeming the UV codes in the used seasons for The Flash S1 and Walking Dead S4 and 5 I got with some of that credit at Hastings when they had that 8.99 Blu Ray sale recently but I'm not complaining.

Finally beat Killzone Mercenaries, just spammed the rocket launcher against the last boss.  I might go back for a few of the easier campaign/MP trophies but thats all...definitely not as good as I was expecting.

 
Assault on the home world failed, silver lining, this triggered a defend event which is the 3rd community trophy you need in helldivers. This one is much shorter and ends in 30 minutes. Complete one bug mission on sigma prime (look for double XP as reward) and if the defense succeeds you'll get a trophy.

edit: though it looks like this is going to fail too.

When you say tested, what test did you do? DSL is pretty basic. Not much to it. Your phone line should be working at all the telephone jacks in your house if wired properly. You pick which jack you want the DSL modem to be in. The rest of the jacks you put a dsl filter at so you don't hear static when your on the phone. Careful not to put a filter in front of the DSL modem or you won't get the signal to your modem. I've seen people do that.

I think he has DSL only (no voice) so he probably doesn't have filters but that is a good point.

 
Tyler, Jimbos info is good. However, I think your house is pretty new. (10 years or less). I would think you are wired with 4 pair wire. The first pair is white and blue. So where his info says green and red (tip and ring), you would equate that to the white/blue and blue/white wires at your house.

How did they get in your house to install it without you being home or knowing about it?

Do you have an onsite condo management office that lets them in? I thought only apartments do that.

Sector lost, now another defend mission began in the next sector back, this one has 2.5 hours on it. Finish a mission with double XP reward and if defense succeeds you will get the trophy.

Yeah I played a decent amount solo and a bit with derek. It was fun co-op until derek passed out as usual.

I think you will like the game but it one of those games that you should really set aside at least a few hours to play at a time.

 
About my DSL:

Thanks for all the input guys. My house is probably closer to 30 years old, not sure what wires are used. The technician didn't really install anything I guess, I think he just messed with some wires on the back of my house. He didn't get in my house, no way he could have without me home.

Here is what the inside jack looks like on the one that doesn't work but I want it too. Everything looks in order to me based on what you guys said, but I could be wrong.

And this is my messy outdoor telephone box. Not sure if you can really tell what's going on.

It says "SA DSL" right there on the outside box. What more info could you possibly need?

 
I'm watching this episode of Married With Children where they all go to a cabin and the three chicks get their periods at the same time. It's just a bunch of jokes about women being on their periods and bears trying to attack them.

It's crazy how this stuff was racy and controversial when it aired, but now you can't watch most sitcoms without hearing a period joke every couple episodes.
