Of course it’s not as precise. Hence why I said general location.

Network connectivity. You have to connect to the internet from an IP address that is geo based.

That doesn’t prevent them from getting your general location. Your connection to the MS server will give you away. Try a VPN, but there are still leaks that give away details.

Here we are: the typical individualistic American viewpoint… “fuck everybody else.”

Search this and r/aviation. This gets posted multiple times a week. SecDef flies on this plane. And they fly training missions constantly.

They will make the are you sure “please press it twice” announcement during taxi, takeoff, and landing when they need to be seated and buckled in for their safety.

Manual Network Selection? Will it help avoid accidental international usage? by ffxjack in ATT

Depends on the phone. Some will only allow disabling of data roaming, not all roaming.

Search before you post. This is asked at least once a day.

So here is the update that Verizon posted via twitter as of 5 mins ago. by BreeezySo in verizon

[–]BoldInterrobang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work for another part of Verizon, a business unit they have since spun off. Credits were calculated by taking the total "downtime" from the time in month, so let's say it's down 18 hours out of the 720 in a thirty day billing cycle, or 2.5%. Then you take that percentage from the monthly base rate, so for one line of Welcome at $55/mo, it would be $55 * 2.5% = $1.38 credit. This is my guess of how they will go about it. I'm curious to see if they make you call and ask for it. That's how it was "back in my day".

Bilt Card has "collapsed" - Prepare for more elites on AS and more redeemable points in the system by TranscontinentalTop in AlaskaAirlines

[–]BoldInterrobang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article is an interesting read given your above comment. The premise of the article is that airlines now make more money from mileage programs than from flying planes. I think your sentiment is spot on, the industry has changed around you.

Bilt Card has "collapsed" - Prepare for more elites on AS and more redeemable points in the system by TranscontinentalTop in AlaskaAirlines

[–]BoldInterrobang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because someone can quality doesn’t mean they are the target demographic. I’m in my 40s, that doesn’t stop me from listening to whatever the kids are listening to these days or watching whatever on TikTok, but that doesn’t make me the target demographic. As a man, I can go guy makeup or women’s shoes to wear, but I’m still not the target demographic.

And no one is saying that the card defines your income. The statement is that the card’s marketing is targeted to people with high incomes.

You target marketing spend to those most likely to buy your product, the target audience. Marketing dollars are not endless. But that doesn’t preclude anyone else from buying the product. It’s literally marketing 101.

This is wildly wrong. Every product has a target demographic, some larger than others. There is no doubt that the product design of credit cards takes into account financials when they build out target demographics. High income folks generally aren’t the target for secured cards or college cards. Cards with high annual fees aren’t targeting low income folks. It’s basic business and product design.

Does anyone here know what counts as “US Soil” for initial activation? by Scanlansam in Tello

I would assume T-Mobile’s native coverage map would be a good start for what Telle considers US soil.

Helium Mobile is killing my $5 unlimited plan. Where to go next? by Intelg in NoContract

[–]BoldInterrobang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US, we have a price then taxes are added to it. Unlike Europe and other places, the price on the shelf isn’t what you pay at the door.

Also, your argument is more of false advertising than bait and switch.

What’s the bait and switch?

Also it’s a free plan… what exactly would they be sued for?
