    Internet Speed via Cable and Wi/Fi ?

    Usually, kitchen, living room, bedrooms, etc are on separate electric circuits down here. Kitchen and AC need higher Amp lines and are kept separated from the rest and reinforced. Rest might also be partitioned hence ethernet over power line might not be a solution. Iz

    Internet Speed via Cable and Wi/Fi ?

    Yes and No. General advise is good, better have your personal manageable router and home network instead of the one provided by the ISP. Nevertheless, wifi speeds is a two parts (minimum) operation and most notebook wireless cards are NOT 5ghz capable. They are b/c and n standard (2.4) and not...

    Internet Speed via Cable and Wi/Fi ?

    It's not that simple. Cable goes A to B, little interference / noise in between. Fastest. Wifi has many factors. Simplest is the max capability of voth antennas, sender and receiver. And the common ground for both. While most wifi network cards and routers show around 300mbps, they communicate...

    Living in a house in Capital Federal

    C'mon Ceviche, be serious. Have always tried to help you, since day one. Told you I came to this board trying to practice english and find oportunities in the Classifieds. When I found you should speak french as well just gave it a shot to expand my horizons and practice. Nothing bad about it...

    Living in a house in Capital Federal

    Well, you are misquoting Tsu if you want to avoid confrontation.Predators go after the weakest target, not the hardened, and apply brutal force to get into youur OODA cycles and control you. Your quote is good for business and work, not to avoid being mugged on the street. Have NEVER tried to...

    Living in a house in Capital Federal

    Been many years since i dumped the subject but here it is: First rule of the Fight Club: We don't talk about the FC! Same goes for personal security on public boards. You already gave up too much and if you were to move to the O Higgins house someone would only need to search 4-6 blocks for a...

    Living in a house in Capital Federal

    Hi Ceviche, Will need to think this over for a while but here are my first impressions. I used to have wealthy friends living in a large house on O´Higgins back in the day. Beautiful street, lovely old houses. My first concern would be trusting someone enough to keep taps on you. If you suffer...

    Argentina’s men’s size

    Not a good idea. Shoes are more expensive than $50 and the Customs racket might kick in. They might try to prize the goods according to their charts, add s&h and freight and come up eith a taxable figure, even requiring a customs expert intervention and fees. A potential headache of a gift...

    July Deficit

    The best is yet to come... Are we preparing the next crops the way we should? My guess is a HUGE no! Me thinks the ship is trading water in ways we haven't figured and discussed (publicly) yet and it not only involves our country but also the rest of the world and the big picture. We might...

    survey request - Museo Larreta

    Done. Suggested adding soft background music to the exhibits. I heard Pink Floyd for the first time at a Instituto Di Tella Exhibit. It was a place way ahead of its time. Memory still fresh as i was young and the place was awesome. Iz

    Traveling to the USA with cash

    I believe you MUST inform AFIP first, otherwise, if smelled by dogs or whatever leads to authorities stopping you from boarding you won't make the flight. Tread carefully. The US Customs has their regular forms delivered prior to landing, as far as I can remember. Beware of local authorities...

    Mac repair shop in Colegiales?

    There was a specialized store inside the Galeria on Libertad between MT de Alvear and Paraguay. They had two locations. Reasonably priced, i never managed to take my phone since i wasn't carrying it when i found the place. If that fails, there's another place right around the corner on MT de...

    Expat Medium-Term Strategy

    The other shoe hasn't dropped yet regarding the permanent effects of the pandemic on our economy, general well being and hopes of progress. It will be a miracle if Calafate doesn't turn to be as nice and prosperous as the shitty town in The book of Eli. You are welcome to it if you like the...

    Expat Medium-Term Strategy

    Disclaimer: I'm no expat Pesimistic by nature. Calafate is no heaven on Earth. Mostly public servants enjoying a meager sinecure. Turism is dead. The place was economically in a coma before this shit started, just check the news. It's Cristina's turf but they pretty much left it to it's barren...

    Looking to get pepperoni, italian sausage for my pizza.

    "pepperoni" sausage is an american creation. You won´t find it easily since it hasn´t been imported in years. Here they usually serve you Longaniza in peperoni pizza. It doesn´t taste anything like it. There are a couple of spanish chorizos that might play the part close enough. Good hunting. Iz

    How are people in BA surviving with this lockdown and recession?

    I believe this is like the tide retreating before the tsunami. As stores remain closed, economic activity almost paralyzed and bleeding thousands of irretribable jobs every day, the time will come when we realize that the new normal in the making is very unpleasant. Poverty and crime will own...

    Do most Argentinians not let their dogs sleep inside?

    I'd say most urban dogs have full access to their homes and, regardless of their size, sleep on if not inside the master bed. Suburban dogs are likely to sleep inside. Country dogs sleep anyehere they can. We pamper our dogs as much as we can afford. They rank high in the close family tree...
