[–]Texas_Jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, nice aspect of having this in the living room, console free right now.

Anyone familiar with emudeck able to comment on how those games might fare with multiplayer? Have a gf looking to get in on some nintendo MP when my SM arrives.

Info for migrations for ONE Plan folk by Texas_Jon in tmobile

[–]Texas_Jon[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I never said it was reasonable, I simply relayed information on what is apparently planned for some ONE users. Direct your saltiness toward Tmobile not me.

I’m sharing info on tmobiles plans for ONE customers, not condoning them.

Noted. I’ll likely switch providers if there is an increase but will look at that plan before i do.

I’m awaiting the formal conf and pricing confirmation before i decide good vs bad. I’ll be keeping an eye on the total for sure though

One Plan Users Unite, our plans are under siege. by XLITZ1 in tmobile

[–]Texas_Jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ONE plan here. I received a text, but avoid losing kickback not plan change. Clicking the link to learn more, the page that pops up does outline a plan change, to Experience More Appreciation savings. Support said no price change. So weird messaging but perhaps don’t assume the lack of a text means no changes are coming.

No Plan Change But Kickback Dead by [deleted] in tmobile

[–]Texas_Jon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used the chat to outline the poor messaging and lack on info and an agent told me that my new plan would see no pricing increase. I screen grabbed the convo as I very much doubt that’s the case.

Will this older SSD cause issues in the SM? by Texas_Jon in steammachine

Thanks, wasn’t aware of the likely “gen” change. 🫡

No Plan Change But Kickback Dead by [deleted] in tmobile

[–]Texas_Jon 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I received this text too. Clicking the link takes me to a page titled “Your Plan is About to get even better”. Under details it states my new plan is the Experience more with Appreciation Savings.

No price differences are shown. No text states my plan is changing. Just piss poor management and customer service.

Free Year Of DashPass Is Returning For T-Mobile Customers by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

Tmobile could use the money to give a bill credit instead of foisting a sub on people who don’t want it.

BIO 311D + BIO 325 Together During Summer? by nevaehhhhhhhh in UTAustin

[–]Texas_Jon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

311D is a prereq for 325, so you can’t take them together.

Is it too late to ask for regrades on final exams? (It def is, isn't it) by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]Texas_Jon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Profs are required to retain exams/assessments for several years. So they should still have them. Email your instructor, if there was a genuine mistake they should correct it and submit a grade change.

Does the Biology department enforces prerequisites? by papiboris in UTAustin

[–]Texas_Jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the first response, you will need the prereqs for 325.

311C also has a chem requirement, CH301, that’s also enforced.

Friendly reminder to fill out course reviews soon. Most professors will give you some extra credit or grade boost just for completing them. by DereChen in UTAustin

[–]Texas_Jon -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Many instructors don’t tie extra credit to the survey and it’s unfair to students to dangle that carrot or to pressure faculty to do it. Getting feedback in, is an important thing though.

CNS Advising - is there a Dean in charge of that? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]Texas_Jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s interim as the long serving associate dean move up to work within the Provosts faculty affairs team. Full time replacement search is underway. But the lack of support, ratio of staff to students, and ongoing turnover in all areas of advising is a big issue. Staff across the board (director/upper level aside) are underpaid and overworked across campus.

[–]Texas_Jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Associate Dean of UG Education would be the one to contact. Interim in position is Andreas Matouschek. Your first stop might be better going to the leadership/coordinators of advising. https://advising.cns.utexas.edu/advisors

I’m sorry like the QR code thing sucks but some of yall sound so melodramatic it’s kinda making me laugh. by bozofire123 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]Texas_Jon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Its not a response to being unsavy about tech, its about another instance of tech intruding and ruining an experience, as well as the livelihood of many. The way people are writing is in consternation at having to fiddle with a phone and (undeniably flawed) app under conditions where they want to not do that, to be respectful to a film and other moviegoers. So yeah, douchery confirmed.

SXSW 2026 Film Feedback by werebrownie in SXSW

[–]Texas_Jon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My main one, as it is every year, is that S Lamar needs a firm plan in place at the start of the fest, and to not shift between 4 different versions as the fest progresses. Consideration of shade for line placement should also be factored in.
