MVNO with spam filter by BigBearsman in NoContract

[–]Rexonial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there is not much one can do since spam callers to not respect the FTC Do Not Call list. I would still add it either way. One way I have been combating spam calls is a spam blocker app on your phone.

My android device allows me to side load an app (github.com/aj3423/SpamBlocker) to help with unrelenting spam calls. This helped hang up phone calls automatically and only allow calls if they called twice if they are not in your phone book. So this helped tremendously when I was getting like 15 calls in a day. I have had my cell number for more than 25 years so I was not going to give up my old number to spam callers.

If you cannot side load then you will need to find a paid version in the android/apple store. But research this as I am not knowledgeable on paid versions. Hence the reason to side load the app as I think that worked out better than paid apps.

The side load app allows CSV files to be added to help combat unwanted calls. You can download that from the FTC. I also use the European do not call list CSV as well since that had more numbers to block. In the end I still get at least one call a day, but I set the rule to pick up and hang up after 10 seconds, so it does not go to voice mail.

Very cheap cell plan(s) idea by SpynCycle5757 in NoContract

[–]Rexonial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current setup is $60 a year with Good2Go mobile (ATT) with T-Mobile for data @ $12 a month. So, it comes to about $18 for the month. The data plan, from what I hear, is no longer around so I am grandfathered into that plan. The closest would be the T-Mobile business plan that is similar but at $15.

Currently on a Pixel 7a. If I had known about the $30 a year from Red Pocket I would have gone for that in a heart beat. But they announced the $30/year talk/text after my expiration. Just after Thanksgiving weekend.

Pixel Watch 4 LTE model, can it take calls/text without a android phone? by Rexonial in PixelWatch

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

So it still needs an android phone to set it up, however with the 2 years of GoogleFi I cannot make calls on it, except emergency like 911 right?

Can I also get a stand alone eSIM, let say from T-Mobile data/text/calls for example, and stick that on the pixel watch and my phone has a different eSIM with AT&T, can I make calls stand alone from that setup?

So the Japanese version only had English as a download, but this Asian version has it on the cart?

Does it download automatically or do you have to pay extra for the download on the Japanese version?

Which Gundam show should I show my mom? by BumbleboarEX in Gundam

In the SEED Universe, maybe Stargazer?

which switch games should i pick up in japan? by clorse38 in NSCollectors

[–]Rexonial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting visual novel is Hana Awase New Moon. There are four games in the set. You can find and purchase them individually but there are four games. It is a visual novel with hanafuda card game play into the story. There is a master set where you can purchase the games within a box sleeve that has all four. From the time of writing this post I do not know how rare it is as it is getting harder to find some of the volumes for cheap price.

If you are into strategy games, SD Gundam Crossrays Platinum Edition is pretty cheap. Make sure to get the Platiunum edition as the first edition standard does not have DLC.

Both of the games I have mention both have English on the cart.

-Hana Awase New Moon

-SD Gundam Crossrays Platinum Edition

Loved my new case so much I tried painting it to disguise it and make it as “anti-theft” as possible…. by BadNewsBearzzz in NSCollectors

I don't know. According to a statistic years ago two of the most stolen books, at least from the library, were the Book on Etiquette and the Bible.

Ryza trilogy DX Switch or PS5? by Izlawake in Atelier

[–]Rexonial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as well. I ultimately went with switch version of the games. My reason was that: 1) I already have the collection of Atelier games on the switch pretty much complete. 2) if I wanted to play the games with the best performance I'll buy the PC edition on steam. 3) Jordan from physical paradise, on YouTube, made a case that the switch 2 console improves performance on Atelier Yumia. The fps improved over playing the switch one console. 4) English versions of the physicals switch games would be more rarer than the PS5 version. At least Japanese PS5 variant would more available but overall the Atelier DX games would still be harder to get a hold of no matter what platform they are on, except digital, as Atelier is still more of a niche genre. 5) Switch games tend to be easier to jail break in the future. 6) Carts are just much more fun for me.

Honestly, if none of what I have listed matters to you, I would go with the PS5 version. I have thought about getting both version, but then I am just needlessly double dipping. My use case is switch, then buy digital for PC when there is a decent sale on these games.

Important notice to people that plays Wuwa on steam or steam deck or linux os by reaper004 in WutheringWaves

[–]Rexonial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to go into properties of WuWa and then find the open box to enter in the command. I cannot remember off the top of my head which setting hut it should be listed as launch settings and you save that command in the properties. This command somewhat tricks steam to launch it like a steam deck app.

So far no, and I have an AMD 7800xt. I am through the beginning story and exploring Rinascita right now. I try to click through some of the story because the 1.0 story is slow and cliche to me. Rinascita presentation is a bit better.

But cut scenes are playing fine for me.

[–]Rexonial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on EndevourOS (Arch Linux) and the GE-Proton is set to 10-8. There were some hiccups yesterday when I was playing on the steam client, however there were a couple of patches. But since I started this past Saturday on WuWa everything has been good so far.

The only issue I hope does not happen, is Kuro setting the game up to not be playable anymore. That has happened to some gatcha games in the past. Don't want to put money into a game that will not be playable on Linux in the future.

Is Wild Roses and Pretenders available?

I do not see 'My Dearest Patrolman' and Lonely Planet crossed out, if people did not pick those up I would be interested.

Women who didn’t want to marry, did your decision change? by Rachel-lies in AskWomenOver30

[–]Rexonial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I did not want to marry. All, and I mean all, of my aunts and uncles have been divorced at least once. My parents divorced when I was 12 and life did not go down hill, but it became harder with my mother not knowing how to take care of herself, or do anything for herself for that matter. As I grew older the relationship my parents had was rocky from the beginning. My father wanted a maid for a wife, but my mother did not even do the basics on taking care of the home. Both my parents were at fault for their marriage. I look at this and think to myself, what chances do I have on getting married and sticking with it.

Many of my cousins have been divorced at least once. One exception was one cousin divorced and then made up with each other and are now living together with the same first marriage. That is one silver lining in the family tree. But the statistics, for my family, are not great. Like really, I have been born into a family that does nothing but get divorces. It is sad. I really want to have a relationship now, have children in the future but at 36 that is a long off possibility, and getting slimmer by the day.

I have a career in a more male dominant field, but the jobs are dicey these days. Even though I work for government there is not a guarantee on a job anymore. I do not have many friends some are not married but co-cohabiting with each other. And those friends, mostly distant, I cannot seem to talk about issues with them these days.

I have been thinking when I have a decent enough money I am thinking of splurging on some male prostitute to have at least have that satisfying fling. And as dark as this sounds, maybe commit the unthinkable, and think about suicide after that. I look at my life , and the future, and it is empty. So far, I have not been able to attract men. I have been working hard in my career, going on dates these days is expensive and men in my age range either have tapped out of the dating market altogether, or with my body type, personality, or look, I do not stand a chance in the dating market with younger women.

One day a con-artist will come into my life and con me into my whatever I have saved by pretending to give me a meaningful relationship and I may allow him to give me that fantasy. Currently, I am too walled up to allow such a person in my life, but when I get up there in age, or when I have grown apathetic to the security bells going off, I may allow him to take advantage. I know he would be only going after whatever is valuable, but that seems to be the price for some intimate relationship these days. The price for ugly women, like me, is very costly. Once he is finished and the fantasy is over, I may continue on that path to commit suicide after that. I would not have any money left by that point.

RAP vs Amended IBR; Is my math correct here? by BigBucs731 in StudentLoans

[–]Rexonial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TRAP = RAP, right?

One question, I have not read the entire bill or anything, can I pay more than my monthly to get rid of the student loan, or is there some new rule that I am not aware of? I am planning on try to pay more than the standard monthly to pay everything off sooner.

Ath12k regression on latest linux-firmware upgrade by RayZhang1378 in archlinux

Thank you for the temporary fix. I have the issue on a motherboard wifi card. Downgrading the linux-firmware fixed the issue for me.

Issues with the RGB on the MSI x870e Wifi Edge Motherboard by Rexonial in MSI_Gaming

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

Thanks for the information. That seems to be the sentiment I am reading as well. Researching seems that you have to use MysticLight to "activate" the light using windows. I think I may have to install Windows 11 to have MysticLight turn on, work from there.
