to buy or not to buy a modem
12
Hi all, Spectrum (the internet provider where my mom lives) told me today that my modem was no longer supported [1]. It's an Arris SB6141, which is DOCSIS 3.0. They say they will let me have a modem to use for free, but I'm a bit worried that it really a gateway, and I don't want them to have their backdoors in the router. So... I went to look at DOCSIS 3.1 modems, and they are pricier ($150 to $200!) than I expected ($60). Clearly I haven't bought a modem in many many years. So... should I take the free modem (which might be a gateway) or should I buy a modem? Any tips/arguments either way would be appreciated. Bill [1] The account just came out of hibernation and they've jacked up the speeds. I've tried for the better part of 3 hours to get things to work, but the best speed I can get is ... 0.07 Mbps for downloads on those few times I can even get the speedtest to load. Yow.

Passkey
I just ordered an item off the internet, on my wife¡¯s iPad. When I got to payment since there was no ApplePay I choose PayPal. Since I had never used her devise PayPal ask to use PassKey on another device, yes. I picked up the iPhone it did two face scans & PayPal opened on her iPad & completed the purchase. That was so cool! John

Offer from T Mobile and AAA
4
In today¡¯s mail I received an offer from AAA to transfer to T Mobile and pay only $30 per line per month (not including fees & taxes). Currently I have AT&T and am paying $91.00 per month for two lines and that includes fees. What service do you use and are you happy with your service? I haven¡¯t investigated the offer yet but wondering if this is truly a savings how long will it last? Will prices go up in 6 mos. or a year? We sometimes go out of country - if you use T Mobile and go out of country what is there charge for being out of country? Thanks for any help you can give. Harry

TikTok/iPhone Question
7
Ok, so let me say upfront that I'm not a fan and I refuse to install their app. That being said, my husband will send me cute little videos from time to time and I will watch them. Until 2 days ago he could send me a message in Apple Messages and if I clicked on the video it would open in Safari. I had to do some little thing like drag a puzzle piece in place and they would always prompt me to sign up for an account, but I could always skip over that and just hit play and the videos would play fine in my browser. This still works if I am on my Mac or iPad and open one from Messages. My iPhone, however, will open the video in Safari, but when I try to play it, it opens the App Store and wants me to install their app. I tried clearing my history and website data on my iPhone and no luck. I figured Safari thinks it's supposed to open these links in the App Store instead of the browser. Tonight I tried opening the link in Firefox instead and it presents me with the Tiktok logo and then a link to download from the App Store. Has Tiktok begun forcing iPhone users to download the app to view videos now? I'm on a iPhone 12 Pro running 17.4.1. This isn't earth-shatteringly important, but it is annoying. Thanks for any advice!
