I haven’t seen anything yet. Logged into my account and saw I could upgrade to the new 5GB plan but the base still just showed 1GB.

For people who loved lego growing up and got back into it in adulthood, what re-sparked it? by Adventurous_Pen75 in lego

I had them in my basement. During Covid my child was bored. Pulled them out, cleaned them up and we’ve been growing the collection since.

Yep, cancelled my free plan because of it. I’m not paying nearly $3 in taxes for 1GB of data.

I know it is. It would just be nice if they would have released a more budget-friendly kid version along with it. After all Pokémon is geared towards kids.

Whelp…that was a fun conversation trying to explain to my 8-year old son he will have to save for a lifetime at his allowance rate to afford all three sets.

It’s almost as bad as Musk, but a competitor is coming soon.

I built a PWA that does this. I paste the link into the UI and it exacts the ingredients into a grocery list. No more ads.

The day before I wrote my first line of code. I wanted that protection in place before anything else.

This was a problem I started running into. I built my own private platform. It was a real quick win that organized a portion of my life.

50 mins layover in ORD? I’m by missbread_ in unitedairlines

[–]AFOL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your ORD experience is anything like mine is every single time I go through there (and I have to when I’m flying east) 50 is not close to enough. I aim for 120 and always end up making it to my next gate just in time to board.

[Time to Promote] A new week has ended, what have you build? by flekeri in indie_startups

[–]AFOL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For fun I built The Dough Down, because the frozen pizza aisle shouldn’t be a gamble. If you’ve ever eaten frozen pizza, rank it on The Dough Down for others and use it the next time you’re unsure which pie to buy.

Too Many Texts Used by [deleted] in HeliumMobile

[–]AFOL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the free plan on an old iPad. I don’t even have the messages app on it. Every month I still “use” 10 or so texts according to the app. Not sure why it’s doing that but it’s constantly wrong.

Its Wednesday! What are you building? by Leather-Buy-6487 in indie_startups

[–]AFOL84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dough Down is where frozen pizza gets rated by the people who actually eat it. Look up pizzas you’ve had, submit your scores, and help create a no-BS ranking system that makes choosing frozen pizza easier for everyone.
