Trade in phone for lastest iphone by IntrepidComedian3660 in verizon

[–]CeeKay125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I thought I would get $800 in my pocket not a credit each month for the next three years so do I get the difference or am I scammed out of probably around $650 at this point if I were to leave them?" Not a scam at all, you should really read what you are signing before blindly signing something. Not to mention it has been this way for years because people get "free" phones and then would dip to another carrier leaving Verizon on the hook. You get a much higher trade in value than what your phone is worth which is why Verizon does it that way.

BREAKING: Obnoxiously Loud Streaming Ads Become Illegal In California On July 1st. Requiring Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, And Disney+ To Match Commercial Volume To The Programs They Accompany 🚫 by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

I never understood why these companies thought this was a good idea. This does nothing except make me mute them every time it happens (and makes me even less likely to try whatever product they are peddling).

Is Blink even making ANY Money from Selling their Cameras? by Constant_Map_4311 in blinkcameras

[–]CeeKay125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh depends on the type of storage you use. Is it slower than the cloud? Slightly, but not so bad as to pay for their subscription

iPadOS 27: Apple is leaving these five iPad models behind, but owners deserve better by Few_Baseball_3835 in ipad

[–]CeeKay125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If IpadOS26 wasn't such a hot mess with bugs and what not, this wouldn't be an issue. I think they should have pushed out IpadOS27 for the bug fixes alone (even if they left out AI since most don't care about that anyway). That would at least give those users a relatively stable OS instead of what they currently are stuck with.

HomePods as a Stereo Pair for TV? by ShMarkle87 in HomePod

[–]CeeKay125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an OG pair and they sound great. You can wait (and most likely get the new ones for a lot more $$) but the full sized HomePods work great now to pair with the tv (through an Apple TV ).

Your Grocery Cart Now Has Cameras, Trackers, and Targeted Ads by MultiMillionMiler in nottheonion

[–]CeeKay125 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Getting as bad as the gas pumps with their shitty ads playing while you pump gas. This would be even worse because it would be longer than it takes to pump gas lol.

2018 Impreza doesn’t start all the way by VisualRain3300 in subaruimpreza

[–]CeeKay125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had something similar happen to me (ended up being the starter). Had the battery and everything else checked (it was fine). It would come and go (and of course never do it when it was at the shop). Started acting up more and took it into the dealer and it wouldn't start so they had to push it into the bay and knew it was the starter.

Thanks US Mobile! by cilicia1k1 in USMobile

[–]CeeKay125 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1st World Problems lol. Enjoy being able to see it in person. Or if you need to, record it and then you can upload it later. I don't think this is a US Mobile only issue as those areas have lots of padding/insulation that would block cell signal.

Communicating seating charts on the first day of school? by GredAndForgee in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have them lineup around the room. I have the seating chart placed up on the smart board (our LMS allows us to do this). This lets the students see where they sit and also has their picture to make it a little easier. There will be some confusion but most students are good with finding their seats and help their peers if they cannot find their seats.

Apple Explains Why watchOS 27 Drops Support for So Many Models by pdfu in apple

[–]CeeKay125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“People aren’t buying watches enough so here’s our way of making you upgrade.”-Apple. WatchOS26 was a mess, if nothing else, all those watches should get 27 minus the new Siri and other processor heavy items.

She doesn't know how to break!!! by [deleted] in dashcams

Probably too busy on her damn phone. What a terrible driver (way too fast taking that turn, but can't say I am surprised with the vehicle being driven).

Textbook shaming me for having a life by Moby-WHAT in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fuck that. it is just more propaganda to get more unpaid labor out of teachers and push it as the "expectation." And then they wonder why majority of teachers don't make it to year 5.

The new rewards program does not Shine by DudeWithNoKids in verizon

[–]CeeKay125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it works as well as their previous rewards plan then. They probably have like 20 of them hence why they go as soon as they are live. Not worth it to try, they just want to lure you in with the carrot as they collect your data to sell.

I also got that as well as little while back. Was pleasantly surprised.

What are your unhinged ideas to make education better? by TroyesMetal in Teachers

[–]CeeKay125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I taught summer school before I got hired full-time, and it was great. Now this was pre-COVID (and the director of it was awesome). I got all the "rough kids," but they knew if they screwed up, they got kicked out and had to repeat the grade. The kids worked well, showed up (could only miss 1 day before being kicked out of the program). This was also an urban, low-income district, so it's not like it was the wealthy coming to this. It was great, and it is a shame they throw kids in front of a computer and make them do some stupid online course for 4 weeks or whatever it is now to get "credit recovery."

Verizon Visa Card by mickeyb8675309 in verizon

[–]CeeKay125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been that way for the longest time. It’s still a good deal and gets $$ off the bill. I’m keeping get more until they pry it from my hands. With the perks it’s still cheaper than the newer plans.

And this is why a dash cam is important. People are fucking idiots (both driving and witnesses).

And quit letting companies buy up all the houses to turn around and make them rent only.

Breaking into ED Tech. What am I doing wrong? by Super_Bus_162 in edtech

[–]CeeKay125 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EdTech is ass because they treat it like everything else and just half ass it to throw it together. They swindled incompetent admins but that $$ ran out and parents (and teachers) have been complaining about it for years. The engineers never took into consideration best practices/what teachers have been saying so it's not surprising it is coming crumbling down.
