  • Not what you’re asking but since it’s been covered well:

    Buy your own cable modem and put your own firewall behind it. Not only will this save you money in the long run, you’ll also have no issues with things like port forwarding. I use Comcast/Xfinity with a docsis3.1 cable modem + a decent firewall and it’s a good way to go.















  • Adds about 1ns (nanosecond, a billionth of a second) per 30cm of riser. So essentially nothing. The only problem happens when some of the signals are lost / attenuated / confused due to interference. As long as it’s a high quality shielded riser it’ll be totally fine.

    I am not fond of LTT so I won’t link their video - but they did a 1.3m PCIE extension and measured no performance impact at all. I’m sure OP is fine.




  • Probably an unpopular opinion - but I actually think requesting overriding 2fa is a big deal and companies shouldn’t do that lightly. If I had a lot of money in crypto I would sure hope the exchange would scrutinize a request to turn off 2fa. And if op had saved their backup words they wouldn’t have been in this situation.

    Now requiring that to change an email subscription is not great, but again - turning off 2fa without the proper backup options should be difficult and scrutinized.
