RTFM doesn't apply the key word in my post was "knowingly" . The dumbazz deliberately installed the wrong driver " Just to see what would happen "in his words . And then had the nerve to come on the forum and complain that the system should've stopped him . I might wanna whiz on a snowflake or two but I wouldn't whiz on him if he was on fire . Putting out the flames would be a crime against humanity .RTFM, my friend. No one is willing to RTFM.
I can’t get to angry about it though. I was paid nicely to provide tech support over the years.
That's what I would think MP. I hear Xfinity Mobile is high quality. They've been out a little longer than Spectrum Mobile and the two are comparable from everything I researched. From what I could gather these MVNO's simply buy minutes from the carriers and there are no partitions or degradations or anything. You hop on the carrier's grid the same as if you had your account with the carrier. I'm just glad Spectrum Mobile uses Verizon because it's the only grid that works where I live.Technically it's exactly the same...

Oh Nooo. I just had a pizza fail... Part of the toppings stuck to the back of the toaster oven and pulled off. Guess I'll have to clean it before I use it again...

General, I thought I was the only person still using an iPhone 4. That's what my work phone is. It still works fine, but it's been a long time since I could update the operating system, so most current apps don't work on it. But it still handles calls, emails and texts just fine, and that's pretty much all I use it for.

Darn it! I was hoping you’d have a perfect, early-starting evening. It’s always something...
Were you affected at all by the mass Verizon outage?
Hmmm... so these alternative carriers are a little like clones? [ducking and running——->>>>]
Same here Pap. But it also wigs out on me. Slows way down or just spins and does nothing. I would still use it but by switching to Spectrum Mobile I save $38/month. That was my motivation. But they make you buy their phones. Even with that I save $38. And the phones are paid for in two years. They charge no interest for them either. Prices seemed in line. $599 for an i8. I think thats about what they cost most anywhere. At least close.
Lol. These MVNOs just buy minutes from the carriers and resell them to their customers. Another way the carriers can expand their customer base. Spectrum is a monstrosity so I'm sure their relationship with Verizon is quite sympatico. Spectrum is basically Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable. They have to be the largest cable/internet company out there. Or at least close.
Oh! But was anyone affected by the recent mass outages? Mostly Verizon, but ATT also. Didn’t affect me. Most customers were on the East Coast.
YouTube had a global outage this morning. No explanations so far.

And if I ditch my LAN line that's another $38/month. That would be $76/month. Now we're talking some dough. Also, I'm thinking of dumping my garbage pickup at $35/month. I drive by a waste collection site all the time. It's easy in easy out too. So there's some more dough I could save.Wow. Saving $38/mo has made you mellow and happy. I like it.
Never noticed.
and since we are talking bills..... my water bill just jumped another 27$, now it 97$ for 2 months.
it was 68$ for 16Kgals every cycle... we ( wifey and I ) cut back on usage to keep the bill lower... we got it down to 11Kgal a cycle and the bill went up to 97$, seems they added some new cost recoupe for repairs... wonder how long its going to last... its been 13 yrs since Katrina and we are still paying "extra" for those repairs.... which makes me wonder... why do I have to pay for repairs that I had nothing to do with in the first place??

Ugh. We can’t win for losing. The Big Squeeze is really on. I’ve been cutting back on all kinds of things and still struggle to get ahead. Paying for Katrina repairs at this point seems shady.
I've never had an iPad and I'm thinking about getting one. Anybody have any thoughts of wisdom on the Pro vs. the regular iPad? I'm leaning towards the regular one with the 10.5" screen, but I don't know if there are features on the Pro that justify the extra cost for a regular schmoe like me.
Good Morning Army. Got home from Ohio and slept for 10 hours. I even got to sleep in until 2 am !

From a quick look, the Pro has faster processor, more RAM and higher storage options. If you want a tablet for browsing & reading, you’re not likely to need those things.
Only the Pro has options for a physical keyboard and pen stylus.
Higher storage is needed if you plan to have a lot of photos, music or videos stored on the tablet. Also if you want to install a lot of apps, especially games.
I’ve been using a lowly iPad Mini 2 for almost 3 years now. Mostly for browsing and for Kindle reading. I have one beloved game. It’s plenty fast enough, but I recently had to remove some apps I wasn’t using. It has only 16 GB of storage.
Lastly, even though they feel lightweight, they do become heavy the longer you hold them. Laying in bed to read your arms and wrists will feel it. I bought a beanbag style lap log and I rest the Mini on that. May sound silly, but it helps and I love mine. It’s soft, but the buckwheat inside it holds its shape and the tablet doesn’t sink in too far.
My older, large iPad is much heavier than the Mini. I really needed some kind of stand or the lap log when I used that one.
