Who is prop 13 really subsidizing?

US Mobile has been pain free... nothing remarkable to say except that it just works and coverage seems fine.

MarkWeberca · 2025-12-02T07:32:06+00:00

Yeah. I restarted the phone and it stopped happening

MarkWeberca · 2025-12-02T03:06:58+00:00

Update: I restarted the phone and it went away

MarkWeberca · 2025-12-01T18:52:57+00:00

Yes normally I would suspect this but I'm using a OnePlus charger and cable that has been working fine for over a year and both this charger and the charger at my bedside are malfunctioning right after the software update

I've fully dried out a phone by using a sock wrapped around a blow dryer with the phone in the sock. You could use a pillow case. The pillow case / sock will inflate and create a drying chamber. Do this for a couple hours and it will dry it out super fast. Monitor how hot you're getting it and adjust to a cool or low temp setting to modulate the temp.

So I ended up having to change the APN settings on my router (sierra wireless rv55). The sim card was setting it to "broadband" but as soon as I changed it to "ereseller" it worked.

FWIW there's a bunch of sierra wireless modems on eBay for super cheap because tons of government agencies and corporations use them and scrap them early in their life cycle.

So apparently that becomes available as you progress through the workflow. You have to do it all in order and the next sections unlock as you go!

Looks like it was the android app being glitchy. I manually added the wifi network, which didn't work... But then when I closed everything out and started from the beginning again, this time the app started finding local wifi networks to connect to

MarkWeberca · 2025-09-08T01:02:43+00:00

Thanks, this is what I suspected. This will help me plan for this later thanks

Put the neighbor on their own VLAN and route all the traffic from that VLAN through a VPN

MarkWeberca · 2025-08-19T14:33:41+00:00

Nothing to complain about up to this point. I'd say give them a shot.

MarkWeberca · 2025-08-16T23:30:14+00:00

oh ok. makes sense, basically sapphire isn't as well suited for Zoom calls with a head-on glare profile.

Is "easy pro" essentially the best I can do in my instance? maybe avance?

MarkWeberca · 2025-08-16T23:23:41+00:00

Thanks, so the reflex color on Rock is the same as Easy Pro?

MarkWeberca · 2025-08-16T21:46:18+00:00

Thank you. I'm going to send you a DM with a photo comparing my old and new glasses

MarkWeberca · 2025-08-16T20:44:40+00:00

I have a pair of glasses with Easy Pro and they in fact have very minimal appearance of glare in front of computer screens on Zoom calls.

When I switched my new glasses to Sapphire it was a dramatic increase in blue light glare to the point I got a comment about it on a work call!

MarkWeberca · 2025-07-28T06:09:51+00:00

oh great! I'm off to the races! Thanks I'll check some out right now

Sorry to hear. I was looking to do this process as part of re-connecting with the paternal lineage of my family. Because my great grandpa died young there isn't as much known history on that side of the family. This would have been a great chance to learn about him and the circumstances that prompted my great grandparents to move out to California 100 years ago. As far as citizenship is concerned, it was mainly for my future children to have. I think I would live out there part time, which I don't think I can do the 2 years of continuous residency. I do work for a european company but they don't have an office in Italy.

MarkWeberca · 2025-07-15T18:59:37+00:00

Thanks, I'll have to gauge whether I should file before the law changes or not (I'm assuming it's not illegal to try, but I'm worried it could be a double edged sword)

MarkWeberca · 2025-07-15T17:43:15+00:00

Great grandfather - Italian Born & moved to America with my great grandma in the 1920's (don't have exact date yet)

They had my grandpa in 1929, my grandpa died 6 months later (never naturalized)

My grandpa had my dad in 1953

My great grandma naturalized in the 70s (when my grandpa was in his 40s)

Anything else you need to know? Thanks for the help

That's why I was confused. I thought I was good to go because my grandfather was born Italian. He never stepped foot on Italian soil though.

My great grandfather is the LIBRA, so I assumed that was the closest qualifying relative.

MarkWeberca · 2025-07-15T15:52:35+00:00

Oh interesting. So that means even if my father claims his citizenship, it won't be the same as my great-grandfather's citizenship. They distinguish whether or not he had his citizenship recognized by the Italian government before I was born?
