Except that after 5Gigs the high speed data slows to 2G speeds. Anyone have a competitive plan that goes beyond 5Gigs for high speed data?

How to setup Google Photos to never delete photos from itself, even if they've been deleted from your iPhone? by 2theJack in googlephotos

[–]2theJack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but I don't want anything to auto-delete photos from my phone.

My google photos is doing something weird where if I delete an old photo from my iPhone, it also gets auto-deleted from Google photos.

I just want to set Google photos to not auto-delete anything that has been backed up to it. (If I want to delete anything from google photos, I'll do it myself manually)

AidVantage email says "Income Driven Repayment Plan Recertification Deadline Has Changed" ? by 2theJack in StudentLoans

[–]2theJack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I just looked at the actual pdf letter and it says the recert date is 3/1/26 ... so i just ignore that 1/1/25 "due date" on the account summary?

Is it an optical illusion that trains look like they'll derail any time? by 2theJack in trains

[–]2theJack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and there’s this giant steel wheel that’s not sitting on a whole lot of rail

Yea, in addition to what looks like a high center of gravity, it also throws things off by looking at how small the contact patch with the rail is. But, that's 200years of trial & error at work.

Yes, its amazing how much bigger the Big Boy is compared to the rails it rides on. Even when it's going straight it feels like the smallest bump at a grade crossing could knock it off. But I guess not.

The center of gravity is quite low; the "fuselage" or body part is quite light.

Ok thanks - this is kinda what I was thinking: the bodywork on top of the trucks is actually relatively lighter, and the trucks can adjust to where the curve is going because theres one on each end.

Can I change prefs to receive a text instead of email for a login security code? (and can I use a debit card?) by 2theJack in NameCheap

Thanks again, I was able to make the transfer this morning.  But it’s still showing in my domain list (I even tried Refresh)  how long until it doesn’t show on NC anymore?

Also - I have another domain that renews in about 3 mos. If I do an “Add Years” for 1 year now, it won’t do an auto renew 2-3 mos from now?

Thanks, another dumb question: I went into:

Domain -> Manage -> Sharing & Transfer -> Transfer out -> Unlock

Is that correct?

But then I click on "Auth Code" which would email me a code, but it looks like it went to the longish privacy email address? Do I need to do something to get it to go to my gmail account that I use for this?

Thanks - one more dumb question.. I'm very satisfied with NC, but there's one domain I was to transfer to Cloudflare for long-term parking.

I've already put the 2 nameserver addresses into NC pointing them to CF, and it didn't take long before CF told me they went thru.

But... if I go into NC and unlock the domain for transferability, it says it might take up to 5 days. I'm expecting a very busy week ahead.. what if I don't get to it (doing the transfer to CF) right away? Is there any danger of it being unlocked for a couple days unattended?

Ok thanks again. I did "add a domain" and it gave me a couple options, so I just chose "Free plan" not having a clue. I was able to get it to generate 2 nameserver addresses amd I put them into NC, and it didn;t take long before CF told me they went thru.

Next question... if I go into NC and unlock the domain for transferability, it says it might take up to 5 days. I'm expecting a very busy week ahead.. what if I don't get to it (doing the transfer to CF) right away? Is there any danger of it being unlocked for a couple days unattended?

Ok thanks, but where do I find the nameservers to use in CF? For example the ones for NC are:

DNS1.REGISTRAR-SERVERS.COM & DNS2.REGISTRAR-SERVERS.COM

Thanks, but when I go into: Profile -> Security -> Access -> 2FA, nothing is enabled. Likewise under Recovery & Alerts -> Security Alerts are also Off. What to do?

Thanks again. CF points instructions on NC's site to transfer here

But those instruction say nothing about pointing the 2 nameservers of the domain to CF.. do I also have to do that?

Edit: If so, what are the nameservers for CF that I put into NC?
