A visual explanation of why your Spectrum "Advanced Home Wi-Fi" might be acting up.

For those who might be wondering why their wifi 2.4 GHz bands are slow, here is what the stock router auto-channeling is doing in my neighborhood.

We have five separate Spectrum gateways fighting an absolute war on Channel 1, alongside a rogue router killing the spectrum on Channel 2. Meanwhile, the massive 5 GHz band has wide open, pristine space that the auto-channeling algorithm completely failed to optimize for.

Why is Spectrum's stock router firmware bad at dynamic channel allocation?

I guess It's no wonder why I have to hear my neighbors complain about their wifi all their time even when I tell them switching ISPs isn't going to help.

Am I the only one who gets sudden anxiety when crossing a massive bridge? What are your own weird or common driving fears?

On my way home from work, I was crossing a massive bridge and had a brief moment of anxiety as I crossed it. I thought, well, wouldn't it suck if I slid across, the guardrail failed, and I drove into the water?

If it's not bridges, what is that road fear that instantly makes your hands sweat?

Am I supposed to work for free? Logged off at 5 PM on a critical issue with zero approved overtime, and my team is mad at me.

The other day at work, my shift was ending at exactly 5:00 PM. At 4:55 PM, a pretty critical issue landed on my plate that clearly needed another 20–30 minutes of troubleshooting to actually finish. When there was no overtime approved.

I decided to log off right at 5:00 PM anyway because my shift was done. Today, I feel like I'm getting the cold shoulder from a couple of coworkers who had to deal with the fallout.

Am I actually the asshole here for protecting my personal time, or is staying late for a company unpaid justified? Where is the line? What should I tell my co-workers?

Edit: Woke to a great surprise, thank you everyone for your support and advice.

Is it inherently rude to listen to a voicemail on speakerphone in public spaces?

We've all heard about talking ion the phone in public spaces, but I was thinking about this today and realized is it the same thing?
