Update: My ad partner blocked those ads and is following up with their security team to check for other possibly deceptive ads.

I emailed my ad partner on this. They're quick to take action. I noted the information you gave me (here and in PM) and asked them to do a quality check on the remaining inventory. Sorry I'm slow to respond on this, a lot going on IRL but I'm getting caught up. If you see ads like this after 24 hours from now please let me know.

I was thinking maybe you had paired them to that work phone before. Never mind. This is part of Apple's Find My network, which allows devices and accessories to be tracked even when they are not connected to the internet. How to disable notifications: If you're the owner: You can turn off separation alerts in the Find My app by going to Devices, then tapping the name of your AirPods, and then turning off "Notify When Left Behind". If you're not the owner: You can't disable the notifications, but you can ignore them. I was thinking, are they doing this while the Airpods are still near your phone? Does "Notify When Left Behind" only work when the owners phone isn't nearby? No, "Notify When Left Behind" in Find My doesn't only work when the owner's phone is out of range; it triggers a notification when a device sharing its location separates from the item you've set an alert for, even if the owner's phone is nearby. The notification is triggered by the separation of the device sharing its location from the item, not by the distance to the owner's phone. You can also set up "Trusted Locations" where you won't receive alerts, allowing you to leave an item behind without getting a notification. So what I might do is either completely disable the function if you have privacy concerns or set it up with trusted locations. I think there should be an option to have this only enabled when the owner's phone is out of range. If I'm nearby... then I most likely haven't lost them. Right?

The beta group you're in had permissions set incorrectly for private messages. This is resolved now, thank you for reporting this. As for the ads, if you see any ads that are misleading or abusive please take a screenshot and report it to me. I regularly ban advertisers who don't play by the rules. I also now have a link in the footer to remove the ads if you'd like.

Did you ever connect your airpods to his device?

I haven't had a chance to open this for you yet. Have a few areas I'd like to modify before I give you access. After this weekend I'll flip over into programming mode and get access to that new tool.

Sorry for the long wait. You can now select São Paulo, BR. https://testmy.net/mirror I'll add resolution later on so people in the area will automatically default to that locale.

I haven't forgotten. It's a little bit of a process adding a new location. Just finishing up some other work then I can shift and get this added for you.

I have a beta for a new program. I'll get you access in the next few days and you can give it a try.

Hi Jose, When I get a moment I'll add São Paulo for you.

I wanted to point this out too... been thinking about this for a long time. This is a classic TestMy.net emoji that I use a lot. Keep in mind, it's not devil horns. It's "I love you". See the thumb sticking out. not-devil-horns-b-lq.mp4

That's the CPU I have in the gaming rig that started the idea to build this Ryzen server. Great CPU.

Sorry man, for some reason it got installed in my datacenter. 😜 This server is running TestMy.net now and I definitely feel the difference. Had a few networking issues over the weekend. My pfSense server had issues, something bugged out. It was my oldest VM, maybe it had some kind of legacy setting somewhere causing issues. The backups were jacked as well, so I just deleted it and put up a new one... Not really a big deal, that pfSense router is really only for my internal, non-production network and none of TestMy.net services run through it. So not a big deal, right? WRONG! Side effects are real. I didn't realize that before I had specifically setup pfSense without IPv6. With the default install it ran normally... until I got to my datacenter and reset my switches. I do this sometimes when I visit, just to get a fresh boot on them. Well, most things came back up normally but TMN was down. Everything indicated that it should be up, I'm getting pings all over the place as expected. Why isn't it working? Very stressful situation. This should have been a routine visit to quickly rack the new server. But now, nothing is working right! To make matters worse I'm on my laptop where I'm already not as comfortable working. Connected with hotspot on my phone and I realize that I only have a USB-C cable for my phone and no USB-C on my laptop. My battery's at like 30%. So now it feels like Mission Impossible. I was running in circles at this point, so I took my hands off the keys and thought for 5 minutes. ... then came up with... "Default Route." I look closer at the networking on the host and client. I then see an IPv6 address assigned to an adapter that should only have an internal IPv4 address. This device is connected to a VLAN. So traffic was trying to route out the adapter connected to VLAN. The gotcha is when an IPv6 address is assigned on the same adapter as an IPv4 address that takes an isolated route. Another fix is to tell the adapter "never use as default route". A different VM had a spare network adapter that wasn't configured, had been sitting like that for years. When this happened, it did DHCP, got an IP and then default routed to that adapter. In that case it was an IPv4 address. Same kind of issue, a little different. So I worked out a few kinks. When it came down to it, lambo joined right into the cluster, replicated my VMs and migrated them without issues. The lesson for me, when you're flustered... take a step back and think. The answers often surface.

Well said. TestMy.net started in 2001... but my first internet speed test became popular in 1996, on accident. Was pretty crazy trying to run it early on, not knowing anything. No real tools to even learn online yet either. I hope one day more people find TestMy.net again. I'll just keep building.

Just the integrated GPU. It's a virtual machine server with no need for GPU. I only need graphics to get into the bios, set up the machine and remotely manage at the base machine level. If I ever have a need for GPU I run it on one of my local machines. This puppy is built for a very specific workload. Will be racked at the datacenter in a few days. Just waiting on one more network card...
