A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Uh I just configured xfinity for a friend and 10.0.0.1 worked find to get to the web panel for configuration. You def don’t need the app for that…
Nope:
Notice the settings all greyed out? The web link (xfinity.com/myxfi) they tell you to go to is just a page telling you the same "webpage is no longer available, please download our app" bs.
(I don't normally use chrome btw, just used chrome to make sure there isn't any weird browser compatibility issue.)
Holy shit, what gateway is that? My neighbors was fine, that is intense..:
CGM4140COM
Looks like this (Actually, the exact same model number. I checked in the settings at: https://10.0.0.1/hardware.jst):
List of all xfinity gateways here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/broadband-gateways-userguides
You should get your own router and access point, and put the gateway in bridge mode. Right now Comcast has direct access to your entire network
I mean, what can they see with the router that they already cant see as an ISP?
Traffic within your network. So if you have digitized your (G-rated legitimately purchased) media collection, and stream that from a PC to your phone on your home network, they could potentially track that, if they control your router.
As your ISP, they wouldn't be able to see any of that traffic otherwise.
Every device connected to the network, their Mac addresses, any unencrypted traffic. There are lots of local IoT devices that assume they're safe behind your router. They could get info on everything you watch on TV if you have a Roku (and probably other ones too), see when you open your fridge, your thermostat
