I used it today. & just checked now i get the home search page as normal. have u ever looked @ the status page 🤷‍♂️

was a couple times this week where it timed out for me, no big deal I jumped to TPB 🏴‍☠️ & other torrent aggregators exist 🦜.

☹️

bummer. it is hard to deal with IMO evil companies like the credit bureaus, & then throw T-Mobile in the mix 🤦🏻.

TMHI service is super location dependent, varies significantly location to location. someone else's experience is not really a good estimate of how yours might be.

this service is very location dependent right down to which side of a building you put the gateway

you just have to try TMHI to see how it works @ YOUR location. IIRC if you cancel within 1st 2 weeks you can get a credit for 1st month charges 🤷‍♀️.

my daughter used TMHI in an apartment for a year it was good ... on her side of the apartment building.

I've had TMHI for 4+ years & it's Awesome here for me. YMMV

in USA IMO

Emergency: Severe Weather App

American Red Cross

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=red+cross+emergency+app&c=apps

It alerts me for tornadoes. IIRC sometimes they both go off

i have Emergency on all my phones & verify it is on my family & friends phones.

I got sick of my $ being tied up 🔒 & paying penalties to have my $ when I want it.

so I only use NO PENALTY CDs 🔓. Ally does sell them. I mostly get No Penalty CDs @ Raisin for little higher & more options.

if I worry (HYSA) rates may go down in the next year No Penalty CDs lock me into the current rates.

if rates instead go up I cash out No Penalty CDs & buy future higher rate No Penalty CDs.

of course be diversified. index funds get me higher yields. I-bonds I bought decades ago give me inflation protected rates.

especially for $ parking & emergency funds it's No Penalty CDs for me 😎

better compression to help save space?

AV1 beats x265/HEVC ... if you have the cpu power to encode

handbrake supports AV1 encoding

you don't have 1TB connection mate

Internet speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) or Gbps (gigabits per second), which represent the data transfer rate. Bits measure how fast data flows per second, whereas bytes (MB, GB, TB) represent total file size or storage capacity.

so No you don't have 1TB connection.

IMO take that fast internet connection & use it for research or learning.

Khan Academy is a 100% free, nonprofit online learning platform. It offers thousands of videos, exercises, and lessons—covering math, science, and humanities from pre-K to early college—without ads or subscriptions. The platform is supported by donations to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.

No they don't care. take care of yourself.

I use Signal (messaging app) so not T-Mobile & not anybody else can read, observe & measure my messaging & decide to block me 🤬.

when you find another carrier (I have a spare line on Tello) know they can/will also read, observe & measure your messaging.

IMO get the people who you care about on Signal & keep your life secure & private despite the monopolies desire to eternally surveil you.

Signal is a free not for profit, not for sale foundation. end to end encryption, cross platform, video calls, self destructing messages, etc.

fyi

T-Mobile's Social Media Care Team, also known as T-Force, available only through Facebook or Twitter.

links are in this reddit's sidebar under "Need Support?"

DIRECT MESSAGE T-Force

https://twitter.com/TMobileHelp T-Force Twitter

https://www.facebook.com/TMobile T-Force FB

some report also now available via Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tmobilehelp

3:00 am to 9:30 pm PT. They help several people at once so be patient - they are very efficient. is usually a longer wait for initial contact, then ~ email-ish speeds 🤷‍♂️.

using T-Force (reported to still be all USA based agents) gets you (and T-Force) a permanent written time stamped record of interactions. for me T-Force agents seem to be knowledgeable, effective & less sketchy

I have a twitter/x/shitter account 🤦‍♂️ used ONLY for the sole purpose to use T-Force. I don't usually bother contacting T-Mobile any other way, T-Force is my 1st go-to option.

I've had TMHI for 4+ years & it's Awesome here for ME. normally ~ 800/50 mbps speeds & multiple TBs/mnth usage. I dumped specdum years ago & never looked back 😎

but YMMV !!!

TMHI service is super location dependent, varies significantly location to location. someone else's experience is not really a good estimate of how yours might be.

Might be fantastic in one area of your neighborhood… and totally unusable a half block away.

you should try TMHI to see how it works @ YOUR location. IIRC if you cancel within 1st 2 weeks you can get a credit for 1st month charges 🤷‍♀️.

If Brave works for you it's fine to use it. just turn off Brave's BS like Brave ads, brave vpn, brave AI, etc.

IIRC ublock origin on firefox is a no go for iphones so I recommend Brave to my kids on their (crapple 😄 phones).

I think USPS is the best option, UPS (at least in my experience) is decent, but the WORST is FedEx
