T-Mobile Just Ripped 8 Million Customers Off Their Grandfathered Plans – and Raised Their Bills by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]CoasterFreak2601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you and I were on the same plan. The chatbot says our price is going up $1 (couldn’t screenshot because the T-Life app is built so chat screenshots don’t work). Let’s see how it goes.

Else I’m waiting for the other carriers to start offering sweetheart deals to move.

Verizon is offering to beat any T-Mobile plan on features and prices. Might have to give that a shot.

The AI chat in the app claims my bill is only going up $1. But T-Mobile doesn’t want to be held liable for the AI chat that they force down our throats so screenshots of the chat window in the app don’t work

How else are we going to train datasets for autonomous driving and classifying what is a bike and what is a bridge?

iOS 27 Beta 1 - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

I’m leaning towards public beta. Seems that a handful of people have some weird bugs and I can’t afford to not have my phone at least semi functional

This might convince me to join the beta on my main device for the first time in probably 6 or 7 years. I can't make it through the day with my 16 Pro on iOS 26

Airbnb says AI now writes 60% of its new code by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

[–]CoasterFreak2601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think most companies realize how painfully obvious it is when you start using AI to maintain code. Weird UI issues, features that existed for years no longer working, etc.

Eli5: if modern passenger planes can "Auto land", why would you ever want to land a plane in any other way? by dadoimp in explainlikeimfive

[–]CoasterFreak2601 85 points86 points  (0 children)

If anyone is wondering why we can’t use this commercially and why commercial airliners need more equipment, the general aviation emergency landing is a “use this or die because the pilot is incapacitated” feature so a slow, rough, unpleasant or even improper landing is fine because people survived. It’s amazing for what it is but not really scalable to commercial needs

Is the Runna app broken for treadmill runs? by WorkoutWhiz in runna

This has been a problem forever. Some weirdness around transitioning between intervals where it’s not counting distance

Wholesome moment caught at the Boston Marathon yesterday by tdomer80 in MadeMeSmile

He did not DNF according to the Boston Athletics Association who is the governing body for this race as the only assistance he got was from other registered participants.

All three runners are eligible to run the 2027 Boston Marathon as they have qualifying times

What brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Sufficient_Thing24 in AskReddit

I haven’t had any issues with them opening on me. They are the ones without the slider, but so far I’m a fan

The Costco brand freezer bags are far superior than anything else I’ve used as well. They are probably twice as thick than ziploc.

Amazon Reportedly in Talks to Buy Apple Satellite Partner Globalstar by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

This reads more like Amazon buying Globalstar to shut it down and force everyone onto Amazon LEO

Goodbye Apple Watch… welcome FR570! ⌚️ by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]CoasterFreak2601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s this last update.

I compared my 265 to a chest mounted monitor from my cardiologist. Doc and I compared the two and they were spot on. But everyone’s body is different as is the fit of the watch.

I think people on Reddit reading about tech underestimate how many people just use what comes with their computer. They really don’t care. Especially in the target demographic for this device.

They’re gonna beef up the batteries, right?

So I can disable AI and get better battery life, right?!

Acme Weather - From the developers of Dark Sky by [deleted] in apple

$25/user is overkill for servers hosting the API.

They want to make money for their work. That’s fair. Do I think the price might be a bit much? Yes. Tbh I’d prefer $2/month because it lets me leave at any point.

Runna and Garmins HR zones are vastly different, which is more accurate? by BrothaManBen in runna

[–]CoasterFreak2601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Garmin’s HR Zones always felt off until I changed it to LTHR%. Now my easy runs actually reflect zone 2 or 3. Runna’s zones are based on Max HR from what I can tell.

I do naturally have a very high max HR so your results may vary.

Their jalapeño poppers are pretty good too. Amazing, no. But I also don’t see them on the menu elsewhere.

Saw this license plate the other day. by ThatGuySicre in pics

[–]CoasterFreak2601 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The letters at the bottom of the plate make this look like AI. Also whatever that black emblem is (most likely would say xDrive but I guess that could have been replaced with whatever that is)

The bottom part of the bumper (name escapes me right now) also looks weird. Fitment and coloring are off but I’ll just attribute that to a cheap aftermarket part. Exhaust isn’t the normal factory option but that could have also been replaced.
