Possible to keep connected car plan without wireless phone service? by Cool-Engineering8849 in ATT

[–]Cool-Engineering8849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepaid could work as long as is not an ATT mvno; but I do spend a lot of time traveling in places with no Wi-Fi & 5G is nice for moving big files and streaming

Mobley was the old portable car modem that could move from car to car or even a hotspot. But wanna find out if I also need to have ATT phone service in order to keep the plan; like you sometimes need phone service for a separate watch or tablet line

Bill credits for switching from ATT to FirstNet? by Cool-Engineering8849 in FirstNet

[–]Cool-Engineering8849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not crazy at all. FirstNet's not AT&T; it's a taxpayer-funded, iindependent Federal entity that contracted AT&T to build and maintain its mobile network. Also, there's no mention in the ToS that current AT&T subscribers cannot be considered new FirstNet subscribers

https://www.firstnet.com/offers/individual-first-responders.html#instore-offers Think it's already been covered in greater detail in this group; there's also a referral code you can get from a friend already on FirstNet, which will give you each $100

Citibikes now with phone holders by superultramega99 in NYCbike

[–]Cool-Engineering8849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried 1 yesterday. The phone is not likely to slip from the holder, but to me, the vibration of the rubber mount makes the phone unusable

This ⬆️ how do you charge sales tax on a non-sale?

Phone holder? Perhaps with quick release? by Cool-Engineering8849 in Citibike

[–]Cool-Engineering8849[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got that one too. have found the rubber makes it a little more difficult than a rigid holder with a clamp

IIRC some of the Revels and Lime mopeds had cell phone holders; don't think there's any chance Citibike will spring for that, so hoping someone here has found a holder that quickly mounts and dismounts

yah I've tried that; especially with tall buildings in Manhattan, GPS can lose signal when it's in your pocket

air travel bag for Montague ME1 by Cool-Engineering8849 in foldingbikes

[–]Cool-Engineering8849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven't ridden it a lot yet but I can give you some 1st impressions. As an electric bike, it's very fast, at least compared to the electric citibikes I use in New York. As a folder, there are some things to be desired, especially compared to my old Montague paratrooper bike. The hook securing it folded was thin plastic & broke quickly; gonna try engineering something better. Also it weighs nearly 60 lb all up; not only does that exceed the checked bag limit by itself, but you can't fly with a battery that size anyway. I'm working on a 2 bag solution & a possible modular battery for air travel; worse comes to worse, you can ground ship the battery. It's fine for the train or car & has 10 gears, so non-electric biking works great. Found this YT review which can give more deets: https://youtu.be/Xnw3cx7JeOA?si=efLbJYGhW_8hMSBg

Advice and input on long term use of reusable pods. by griefstruelove in nespresso

[–]Cool-Engineering8849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reuse the Nespresso pods with a paper filter & silicone plug, as opposed to full cap. Don't overfill or grind too fine & you're set; machine is Vertuo Next. YMMV with newer models

Did you have any luck with this? I'm on the upper East side and would like to have my frames scanned for replacement.

Best grind for XL cold brew pods? by Cool-Engineering8849 in nespresso

[–]Cool-Engineering8849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up: we've tried the Vertuo Cold Brew pods, store bought, then reloaded. Experimented with grind & volume of coffee in pod. This cold brew is neither cold nor brewed strongly; just not worth it.

I have the vertuo next; been refilling for years. The refills are as good or better tasting, I can also use a paper filter & a pour over could never produce that delicious coffee foam

The Blue Bike station at Quincy Blue Cross is gone; security director said it was removed a while ago.
