Today I switch over from DSL broadband to fibre broadband but I'm wondering what changes that actually entails on the side of the ISP? Does someone have to come out and physically change a connection or has my data always been routed through optic fibre and now the ISP just changes a value in a database which increases the throughput permitted for my connection? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.7.181.183 ( talk) 08:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
I'd like to do a study of sorts. I'm wondering where and when the beer cans on the side of my road get flung out car windows. So, I'm wondering if there is an app I can put on my phone which would allow me to tag a physical location with a timestamp. Since I walk my road several times a week, I'm thinking that as I pick the cans up, and new ones appear, and I track the time and place that I see them, that it would tell me what I'm looking for. I'm not planning any vigilantism or anything. I'm mostly just curious. I'm not sure where to begin as far as keywords to search for in the Google Play store to find an app that would do this. If there even is one that would fit my needs. Note: I'm not looking for reviews. I know what the RD is for. I'm looking for information that might help me find something. Not a review of what is out there. Thanks, † dismas†| (talk) 14:57, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Thank you all. Guy Macon, I don't really need pics but if that helps, then that'll work. Thanks! Nimur, Guy was the one who mentioned pics. I don't necessarily need pics of beer cans filling up my phone. But the geotagging suggestion should help. Thanks! Hayttom, I just took the briefest of looks at Kobo Toolbox. This might do the trick. Not sure what all is involved in creating a report or such but I'll look at it more closely. Thanks! Again, thank you all! † dismas†| (talk) 15:26, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
