Bricked The Modem (Day 3465 - 5/21/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3464) | Next Vlog (Day 3466)

The vlog starts out with Stephen and Mallory having tacos for lunch at Stephen's parent's house. Debra says that she is trying to compete with Mal's food presentation since Mal's presentation is always restaurant quality.

Back at home, Stephen finishes his first recordings in the new house of Red Dead Redemption 2. The recording went on for longer than usual because Stephen had to finish the mission in order for the game to save. He mentions that they have had the same mouse pads since they first got the cats which was 7 years ago. So, he and Mal got new mouse pads. Stephen then talks about how it took a long time to set up the equipment to record Red Dead Redemption 2 since there were so many wires.

Stephen then talks about how they were using an ISP provided modem. He says that the internet speeds are fast for him, but really bad for Mal who is using wifi. So, he decided to call the ISP in order to install his own router. He then ended up with no internet, but he couldn't figure out why so he called the ISP again. The ISP lady said that the ISP guy who helped him is new and he probably bricked the modem. But, she tells Stephen that he doesn't need the modem and can just directly connect he router to the wall. The internet speeds dropped to the speeds at their old house and the ISP lady tried to help Stephen. It resulted in the download speeds being fast, but the upload speeds being slow so they were going to send a technician there tomorrow. Stephen says that he is just going to ask Jeff to guide him.

He then talks about how the upstairs room is really hot since the vent is on far side of the room. Stephen says that he decided to leave the doors to the bathroom and closet (which also have vents) open in order to improve the air circulation in the room and make it cooler.

Stephen says that EA announced yesterday that they were giving away Sims 4 for free which was upsetting because he bought it on sale a couple of weeks ago. He then says that after Lunch Bunch tomorrow they were going to meet Justin to cut the boards they were using to support the game shelves. The new bed is arriving tomorrow and they are giving the keys to the old house back to the landlord.
