I use Mint (T-Mobile towers), $120 every 3 months. Unlimited calling, texting and data (your speed is throttled after 40GB). Included is 10GB hotspot data. I have absolutely no issues with it.


This is definitely meant to make it less painful for the players of those games.



Solving too fast. I shit you not. Sometimes you have to go really slow. Like you’re 80 and can’t see very well trying to discern what’s in those boxes.


Pretty sure you can see their email address. This should give you the opportunity to message them stating you’ll be canceling the subscription. They’ll still be able to subscribe on their own.


Best Buy started doing this with their app. I’ve used it multiple times already. It’s so convenient. Scan the barcode with your camera in the app, it adds to the cart, pay when you’re done.

Anecdotal experience: Unfortunately, products that are locked up create a problem. I went in for two items. One of which was a single RAM stick for laptops. The employee refused to give me it even though I was literally going to pay for it on the spot as I had already collected the other item I wanted. He insisted it goes to the register per policy. I quickly got the barcode as he held it, then paid. “There. Paid for. See” as I showed him the screen. Dude was so annoyed as he handed me the RAM.


On iOS, when you delete a system app, all you’re doing is removing user data and the configuration files for it.

On Android, when you disable a system app, all you’re doing is removing user data and the configuration files for it.

In both scenarios, the app is still retained. You’ve only removed it from your home screen and anywhere it may appear in actions.

Removing built-in iOS apps won’t free up storage space on your device.

Because the app is still functionally there. This has been the case since Apple introduced the feature in iOS 10.



macOS has a caps lock timeout? The fuck…


These days, it’s becoming less simple than that.

VW and BMW have it all baked into the infotainment system. Most others are doing this as well. Pull the fuse and you lose it all. No radio, no backup camera, etc. This triggers a check engine light because the computer detects the loss of several functions. With some manufacturers this may include driver assistance safety features.

Can’t just pull SIMs either. VW place the module for that behind the instrument cluster. Which means you have to disable the entire dashboard to get to it. BMW is inside the infotainment system. These are not designed to be taken apart. So once you get it out of the dash, what good does it do you? If you do manage to remove the SIM, the infotainment will display a warning message. It’s a permanent one that won’t go away. Tells you to visit the dealer for service. Put the SIM in and the warning message goes away. Mercedes has an eSIM. Which means it’s non-removable. It’s digital and part of the modem firmware.

Some people have reported success with dummy load antennas. Others have found independent fuses or removed the SIM on select models. YMMV heavily.

Note that when the cellular services are disabled, you lose the following features:

  • Remote start (via the app)
  • Remote safety (automatically call help)
  • Theft tracking
  • Misc. Remote features as advertised.

In the case of Toyota, they do offer the ability to opt out entirely. Once opted out, the app becomes useless.


No.
