@idontknow 

Thanks... I've already insulated 2/3 of the garage last winter... it's the last 1/3 I'm trying to finish up.

Keep your stick on the ice...

Took advantage of Pub 819's gift card thing last weekend. $100 gift card got you a bonus $35. Normally (now through the end of Dec) $100 gets you $25, $50 gets you $10. 

 

When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

Not sure if this is the correct thread, but curious if anyone has any recommendations on home security systems (we are in the south metro). 
We have had ADT since we moved here almost 12 years ago and frankly have had nothing but difficulty.  Unbeknownst to us we weren’t even getting coverage for two years as our equipment wasn’t working and the company never let us know.  It was discovered when a friend came over while we were gone and accidentally set off the alarm and we were never notified.  
after that, the system was changed to run off cell vs land line.  In the last six months the system keeps going offline and we get less and less time between having to reset it. 
ADTs customer service is atrocious.  They don’t know answers to any of my questions, I get different answers each time I call, and sometimes they just go straight to an upsell and won’t take no for an answer to the point I have to just hang up. 
I’m really not interested in dealing with them anymore if I’m going to be expected to pay out of pocket for repair or a new system. 

curious if anyone has any recommendations on anyone local?  We are ready to shop around, and are ideally not looking for the ring/video type systems where anyone who can hack has access to your private lives.  ?

Has anyone switched to a decentralized VPN device and if so would you recommend? The up front cost isn't terrible, and if the claimed benefits are accurate not paying a monthly fee thereafter is appealing.

I've only dug into this a little bit so I may be off base here.

I didn't like that my device would also handle traffic for others as well as mine (this may be configurable?).  Best case seemed like this could cause data usage issues with your ISP.  Worst case was that there was a potential for illegal traffic to show like it was originating from your device.  Try explaining that to Interpol.

Good to know. I think these are legit questions to ask until this is fleshed out more.
