I was going to write a long series of events that grew in oddity and hilariousness until we all died a gruesome death, but that’s a lot of effort, so I’ll just put this here.

I was sitting here like “I didn’t know Italy was part of the US” because the title sucks ass, so here’s the bit you are looking for

there is just one

Well it’s cloudflare, not cloudsflare. Maybe overcasthosting, or sunblockservers…

-$4 and include an unopened, chilled 20oz cherry pepsi. You deliver. Take it or leave it.

…whoosh

and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself

+1 for Thunder. It’s the first I tried, and coming from RedReader it was a very easy transition. And it’s available for both fruit company and robot army company. A touch buggy (improving) but it’s nothing actually problematic.

I’ll get the camcorder

What if they want to be warm, though?

I used to dabble in programming as a hobby, but now I’m a disabled home-bound sysadmin and homelab enthusiast.

Oh, and a flaming gay fur.

cheapest is $670

I have the same plan, but use it for places that insist on getting your phone number, that don’t need my phone number. So they get my second number that gets used a few times a year.

Tello is my second line provider, they are quite good. I’m worried that tmo will squeeze them out, or end their agreement or something. Tmo is already doing shenanigans to lycra mobile, afaik, and they ate up metropcs, mint, and ultra.

I trust tello. I don’t trust tmo.

USM repurposed an old subscription email system for their 2FA, and if you had opted-out of the advertising before, well you don’t get 2FA codes then. I spent a few days figuring this out with support. They removed 2FA from my account and explained the situation. A year later, I re-enabled 2FA, because SURELY they’d have fixed it by now, right? This was ~3 and 2 years ago, respectively.

I’m still locked out of the account because they never fixed it. If that’s how they handle their systems, I want no fucking part of it. Can’t pay me enough to put a number I care about under their control.

I don’t care what distro

ChromeOS it is!

Or you can buy the newest at sticker initially, and when the next model drops, sell it to family for half price as lightly used. Rinse and repeat. They get bargains phones, you get the latest tech.

Miss me with that, I’m disabled and get less than a grand a month for all my expenses. All of the major cell phone brands offer their own financing (and all I’ve seen is 0% interest for 24 or 36 months), and have for 10+ years. And because you’re not buying from a carrier, you aren’t locked in, so you can hop to prepaid plans or even MVNOs and enjoy actually massive savings. If you actually needed to, you can get by with service at $10 or less a month, and assuming you are paying $65 a month currently (the going rate for an “unlimited” tmo plan, I don’t know the math for groups) you’d save $55 a month, or $1,320 over 2 years. Enough to make your flagship phone “free”.

Both those are for line activation, not switching devices. My main line currently is with AT&T small biz and I’ve moved from Pixel 6 Pro > 7 Pro > 8 Pro by just popping the sim in. No charges. When tmo postpaid was my main provider, same thing, charged once initially and that was it. For tmo prepaid, I currently have family on lines and again nothing beyond the initial sim charge. And as I recall, esim is free (as it should be).

If you don’t go to a store for assistance or do something weird (try and move from a phone to a tablet or something; and that limit is only for postpaid lines afaik), there should be no fee. It’s only when you involve a staff member do they charge you for assistance. Unless tmo changed the policy for postpaid lines in the last 2y, my experience doesn’t match yours o.O
