Congratulations to @jayeff for reaching 100K points today. More importantly, over 2900 contributions to the community and amazingly, only 1 downvote!! You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar :-).
Hi @refectio ,
Thank You.
I appreciate all the 'help' that I have been given, by you and many others, to get that far.
Hi @oldturkey03 @mayer @jimfixer ,
Thank You.
As I mentioned to the others, I really appreciate all the support that I have received from everyone on ifixit.

Wow, look at that big, black "100,011 Reputation"
by George A.
Right. It's secksay!!
by iMedic
'secksay' would have been 100,001. Definitely a palindrome. Not a nearly one as above.
Cheers

@jayeff , congratulation Sir. Outstanding achievement!

Until the nuclear apocalypse. But just before it all us fixers are going to have to work overtime.

@pccheese Watch the movie "On the Beach" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Bea...)

It is always nice to reach milestones and celebrate them. Little pleasures of life :)
Congrats!

@mayer I would but the budget was too much.
I don't like bad movies, but MST3k is hilarious.
I'll sum up the show:
In the not too distant future, next Sunday A.D. There was a guy named Joel, not to different from you or me. He worked at Gizmonic institute, just another guy In a yellow jump suit. He did a good job cleaning up the place, but his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space (LET ME DOWN). They send him cheesy movies, the worst they can find (La La La). He has to sit and watch them all, and they'll monitor his mind. Now remember that Joel can't control, when the movies begin or end. Because, he used these special parts, to make his robot friends. Robot Role Call: Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crow.
Show's on Netflix.
That was the theme song.
by George A.
And I still have taste in good movies. I like the Godfather.
by George A.
Congrats, @jayeff! Great work! I wonder what the consolation prize is for this...

Hi @theimedic ,
Thank you.
Hopefully you have overcome the 'problem' you were having. I was half hoping to see a new avatar of you with pink hair (calamine) ;-)

Still haven't gone in. We're playing around with software options to free up iPhones, that aren't lost or stolen. So I don't wanna give up my last Apple ID locked phone. I'll keep ya'll posted. I bet id look real good with a pink mohawk
by iMedic
Congrats @jayeff . May you reach 200k in half the time :-)
Cheers!

S W, I just noticed you haven't a profile pic yet. You could use a picture of your DSL modem.

Just a few days ago I was watching netflix FHD while battlefront downloaded a 8 GB patch. Sorry, can't help myself.
by George A.
Normally we get 230-250, but I think that someone was downloading something when I did that test. I'd tell you, if we where on DSL and my dad wouldn't pay for more than 2.75 Mb/s, I'd get a job for an unlimited data plan. Iowa probably gets faster 3G than that.
by George A.
Yes, HSDPA+ is around 7-ish mbps , but hotspot is expensive.
It's an infrastructure problem that limits my speed. If faster speeds were available, I would get it. Iowa is probably easier to update network infrastructure than Los Angeles, where our city officials can't even fix our roads or build a high speed rail within 20 years (they haven't even started, but we are billed for it).

Hi @avanteguarde ,
Thank you.
The points are nice but are not my raison d'être for contributing to ifixit.
(I appreciate the sentiment but it is only possible to earn 200 pts / day when supplying answers, due to rules in place by ifixit. To earn 100k takes approx. 16.5 months @ 200 pts / day / every day if you are lucky and have a lot of help)
Cheers.
by jayeff
Seriously! DSL in one of the biggest cities on Earth. That's horrible. Besides, the phone lines have such capibility...

You basically put your AT&T sim in and your done.
by George A.
@oldturkey03's pushing the limits. Check the leaderboard. BTW I check it often and you're almost always next to Mayer and Old turkey. But you've still gotten to 100k as fast as it is possible. Incredible.
My guess is Kay Kay's gonna offer you moderation sometime soon.
by George A.
Greetings @jayeff.
Who said there's a commitment? You happen to see someone's post you don't like (spam), and you sprinkle some of that moderator dust on it. Why turn down a power because you don't think you'll use it enough? Besides, you can do most of it just looking at the moderation section.
I'd love to be a moderator. That'll be a while, though.
You wanna be where everyone knows your name, Cheers.
by George A.
@pccheese, again, infrastructure problem. You are also assuming LTE is available. Nope, the tower is far away as well. Note I said HSDPA (3.5G vs 4GLTE). Also, prices and taxes are high in this city. Unless you spend $300 a month for the TV+Landline+Cellular, there is no unlimited internet that doesn't have a 8gb volume usage cap before they slow it down to 128mbps.
by S W
Great job jayeff. Much respect. Your contributions to the repair community are definitely worth recognition. You always give very helpful information in your answers. Your answers are detailed and complete and not vague like some. That in my book makes you a great contributor to this site, as well as a great person for taking the time to help others the way you have. Keep up the great work as it is truly appreciated.
Only 1 downvote IMPRESSIVE!
Good job @jayeff keep helping out!

How about the fact he got to 100k literally as fast as anyone has or will ever make it!
by George A.
What a big achievement, @jayeff! Thanks for all your contributions to this community. 100k is a huge milestone! My gosh your graph is incredible, and so steep! You've got 100k in a little more than a year! Incredible. I never have to read your answers to know they will be quality.

Minho, you forgot to call everyone else. What good is a surprise party if nobody comes? @oldturkey03 @mayer @danj @jimfixer @gigabit87898 @avanteguarde @cam2363 @rany

I was looking through this post and I realized @jayeff hasn't been active on ifixit for nearly two months whatever happened to him? On the subject, whatever happened to @originalmachead too? @mayer do you know?
by George A.
John is taking a "walkabout". Probably sleeping in a swag in the outback .
by mayer
Good for him.
by George A.
@refectio is temporarily out as well ;-) and @jimfixer hasn't been heard of in quite some time, @lpfaff1 is on temporary leave. I do hope that our friends are well and will rejoin us eventually. @mayer looks like you and I are the beginning force that is going to kick some "Cooperators" behind!
by oldturkey03
Yes, I sure hope everyone is doing well. We need to get everyone's email address so if they ever go away for extended times we'll still know there fine.
Dream on, Oldturkey! We're going to kick some touchas!
by George A.
@oldturkey with so many out, including @ladytech, @cam2363, @kaniggit49, @nsiemsen, I doubt I'm going to have a lot of time for building a cheese dispenser.
by mayer
@mayer I am certain we can get this done. I'll take care of the mechanics and will need you on the electronics. I'll let you know what I have in mind and will need your input on that. You are the brains and I'll be the brawn
by oldturkey03
I'm hoping @lpfaff1 will defect and do mechanics for us.
by George A.
@pccheese not going to happen ;-)) Better come up with some sort of contingency plan
