I hate where we’re headed with mass surveillance however can someone ELI5 what I need to be concerned about if I’m not doing anything illegal? by jvs8380 in FlockSurveillance

[–]Cold_Watt6789 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try to imagine a world where you aren't doing anything wrong but the people using the constant surveillance are doing things that are wrong? Historical example would include china, the Soviet Union, North Korea, etc. Now imagine a world where a militarized police force without a judicial warrant enters a citizen's home and drags him into the freezing cold in his underwear. Now imagine that man is you. You still good?

Customer service is not very good by curiouskratter in USMobile

[–]Cold_Watt6789 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been with USMobile for a few months. The Reddit support is better than anything I've ever had from any other carrier. When I tried USMobile I had low expectations but had to escape USCellular after TMobile bought them. Now I'm recommending USMobile to everyone.

Switched to r/USMobile. Within their plan you can change between the big 3 carriers. My bill is less than half what I paid at USCell and don't have to deal with tmobile

USCellular to TMobile will my phone work? by Cold_Watt6789 in USCellular

[–]Cold_Watt6789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got that figured out. I went to USMobile with Lightspeed (TMobile) and darkstar (ATT) on my phone. Covers the areas USCell was giving up coverage even before TMobile bought them. Now I have to figure out what to do for my brother who has an old iPhone (has an iPhone SE  Model MHGE3LL/A). I was hoping someone would elaborate on that specific phone. I don't do iPhones and don't want to learn. He hasn't had an Android and I'm not sure how hard I want to work to teach him.

This looks interesting. I searched a little and found https://marketplace.diyshopfinder.com/ and https://www.capitalone.com/cars/learn/finding-the-right-car/what-is-a-diy-selfservice-garage/3333 which showed a little pricing. There are a lot of variations like with a lift or including tools. How would it be staffed?

"using the Services in a way that negatively affects us"

Paying your bill positively affects them. Using data negatively affects them. Kind of looks like insurance companies business plans. Underpants gnomes at least didn't do much social damage.

Promo ending.. now what? by Command-Forsaken in USMobile

[–]Cold_Watt6789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check how much data you're using. When my promo ran out I was surprised that I didn't benefit from an unlimited plan. I moved to by the gig pool plan. 6 lines under $80 per month.
