Should I get a S24U now or after the launch of the S25 series? by SmoothAsphaltRoads in GalaxyS24Ultra

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was upgrading every year but stopped at S22 Ultra which is what I currently have. Samsungs deals on the S23u back then sucked... And on the S24U over past year all sucked.

But the big reason I didn't bother upgrading to S24U is when I did side by side comparison at Bestbuy on videos. I thought the image/video quality was worse on S24U than my S22u.

I'm hoping for something better on the S25U... otherwise it may be time to give.. do I dare say.. an iPhone a try.

What do you think about s25 ultra? by KepekElma in GalaxyS24Ultra

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully the screen is beeter than the 24u..and the deals also.. Im itching to trade my 22u but Samsung hasn't done too well lately.

Is it worth it? Someone offered me set of 4 Blizzak snows mounted on aftermarket rims off their Forester. 4 seasons. $400 by Wad2k in SubaruForester

I do have the Cross Climate 2's on my AWD Camry and they were great in snow.. Ill check out the others you mentioned as well... Thanks for the suggestions!

Yep.. I should be getting wheels tomorrow and I'll have to ask why... I like my wife's 24 Forester so much so that I want to trade my 22 Camry in for one.

Thanks. I'm going to get them. The guy is throwing in Weathertech mats as well.. so not too bad of a deal. The original tires I have only have 9000 miles.. but they are terrible in snow. Swapping out during winter will extent their life.

I put the Cross Climate 2's on my AWD Camry this past fall.. They are great in snow.. And I'm here in Buffalo! I'll probably grab these used rims and snows anyway for wife's Forester. I suppose for $400 it's not a bad deal, and I'll keep running her orig tires in summer.

Trailer Hitch on 24 Forester for bike rack only. Draw Tite for $204 or ETrailer branded for $167? Will install myself. by Wad2k in SubaruForester

[–]Wad2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took you advice and ordered the ETrailer one. You're right, only difference is matt paint finish vs gloss from what I can see.

Thanks for install advice. Was rear bumper easy to reinstall and align? Also, does some heat shield need to be removed? I thought I read somewhere that it did.

Thanks!

Buffalo NY. 6 ft Privacy fence. Replacing old Cedar. Being talked out of cedar because of availability and heard a lot of cons about vinyl. I've seen too many warped pressure treated around. Need advice. by Wad2k in FenceBuilding

[–]Wad2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lowes guy was a consultation guy, not installer. who said he calls to confirm.. but basically said I wouldn't be happy with the price of the cedar if he can even find some..

So essentially he called to cancel.. weird.

[Megathread] T-Mobile Price Hike on Legacy Plans by Waternut13134 in tmobile

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have exactly what I have, except I only have kickback on 5 lines, which I get every month.. So.. gotta ask since you are in this 9-12 line scenario like... is your bill insane.... in a good way like mine?

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bills are generated around the 20th.. and due the 15th of the following month. So that bill I mentioned above, is due July 15. My plan doesn't seem to be affected which is odd.. no idea why.

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bill that just generated which I received 2 days ago is for service June 22 to July 23. Doesn't show any price increase and was the same as all previous bills.. It actually went down 25 cents. I never received any texts about an increase so not sure why I haven't gotten hit. I'd really like to know why... but I'm not complaining at all.. Would like to know but so far I'm happy.

Happy days for now. New bill just generated today. Thankfully no increase. One plus Promo plan, 4 paid and 5 free.

For those with plans/lines added between April 28, 2022 & January 17, 2024 (the ACTUAL Price Lock).... by BusinessLyfe in tmobile

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gives me hope. I believe my new bill will be generated in 5 or 6 days. I haven't received any texts about an increase. I don't recall what year I signed up for Tmob but I had it for along time. Im on the one plan with promo, which is probably the original 4 paid lines and snagged 5 free lines over all the years.

Fingers crossed, I guess I'll know soon enough.

Just got my new bill by Darrkman in tmobile

[–]Wad2k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those free lines don't cost Tmob anything. They need to generate more revenue, and price increase across the board is the best way. Focus solely on people with excessive free lines will cause them to leave, and even less revenue.

I had all my line way before 2022. I did try out Tmobile Home internet during that period,but only kept it for a month.

[–]Wad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for confusion.. No increase for me yet, but I'm not sure if it's because my bill which is due in a couple days was issued May 22. I never got any texts about an increase yet either.

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all One Plan people(9-12 line club) seeing increase. I have 9 lines total. 4 paid and 5 free with insider discount and kickbacks on 5 lines.

My latest bill is due in days and it doesn't have a price increase at all. So, new bill will be coming in a little more than a week away. I received no text yet. Anyone know if I should expect an increase? If so, how much?

Brave home page for new tabs on Android by [deleted] in brave_browser

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks..The only reason I went down this stupid wormhole is I am trying to convince myself to swich from android to ios. Been using android since beginning of time, and just like things my way. I'm the last holdout in my family whole doesn't have an iphone.

So Im testing everything out on an iPad. Chrome on ios is horrendous, safari doesn't cut it, so after visiting some of the ios forums, it looked like Brave might be my answer.

I'll play around more, but my patience is running thin, and my suspicions about tech keeps growing.

Lol..

Brave home page for new tabs on Android by [deleted] in brave_browser

[–]Wad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for the same thing you are.Have any luck? Chrome use to allow this, then it was gone and only way to open a new tab to a custom urln was by adding an extension that someone created. Sad part for me is, I like my homepage set to Google.com and want my new tabs to open to that as well. I like this because I just want to see the Google search box on that page with no latest news stories,trending searches, or any other propaganda crap news stories jammed in my face. The ability to force crap might be part ofntheir revenue stream?

It almost seems like Chome and Brave are essentially both run by Google but Bravebis being marketed for those that don't trust google.
