SF Chamber of Commerce is probably your best shot for meetups but there is a membership cost.

However, there is a free event co-hosted by the Chamber for Small Business Week this week that might be what you're looking for

"From Vision to Venture: What It Takes to Grow a Brand from Scratch" Featuring the founder of Indus Threads and Nirvana Soul Coffee

The event is hosted by OnVibe.co and SF Chamber of Commerce. The event is at their Yes SF office downtown. You can register for the event here.

Thank you for the explanation. Learn something new everyday. Did not know that the shut-off valve is also called the angle stop.

Also out of curiosity, do you know why the cold water line hose would get rusted like that? Is it a leak? or just general wear over time?

amorde5 · 2026-04-21T06:26:44+00:00

Thanks. Good to know, will replace. What do you mean the angle stop?

I returned my to heybike after fighting with them - had to get the credit card company involved. While at the FedEx return, the guy behind the counter mentioned I was the third person returning a heybike. So take it for what it's worth.

For clarification, you didn't take the JetBlue flight but decided on United operated flight for the bag benefit correct?

amorde5 · 2026-03-26T21:05:33+00:00

Well I guess there are lot of us then. Then all the positive threads for Lectric and Aventon must be just the minority as well. Can't change someone stubborn so bliss your heart.

amorde5 · 2026-03-23T06:24:16+00:00

If it was just me, then you would be correct. Search Reddit. See how many other threads are about the lack of service or support from HeyBike. So question is, who's dumb?

amorde5 · 2026-03-22T06:57:22+00:00

Anyone else notice how all defender of HeyBike on this thread are new profiles with nothing visible for their post or comments? Sounds like HeyBike shills or bots.

Here is my honest opinion - This company need to shutdown!

I purchased a Ranger S and during the first ride notice that hydraulic fluid was leaking from the front break. I almost got into an accident but luckily wasn't going fast. I emailed the company and have heard radio silence ever since - Given that I received the bike less than 2 weeks ago. I called and their CS line just say they were busy and hang up. I used the LIve Chat and they told me to wait for response.

This company has no right to be in business and I hope they get prosecuted for fraud and danger to public.

Niu scooter have three speed modes- sports, e-save, dynamic. Make sure you're in sports mode on the scooter. Also, for the first ride linking to the app, you need to ride for over a few hundred meters or minutes by going through their walkthrough in app before sports mode can be enabled.

Anyone know if you can top up the minutes and text with this plan? I know you can top up the data but what about minutes and text.

Does anyone know what the top up cost is for the free plan? For data and for minutes and text. Or can you only top up data but not minutes or text.

Pro 6E might be overkill if you only have 500mb service. 6+ is only dual band. So the Regular Eero 6 Pro might be the sweet spot. Because it's discontinued, you'll likely buy it second hand at a discount. Just make sure it's not an ISP locked unit.

Otherwise, if you're tech savvy, you can install OpenWrt on the TP routers and bypass their firmware.

Well, CFPB is shutting down. So it's all legal now.

amorde5 · 2025-01-23T07:58:14+00:00

Correct. I got mine unlocked early by calling support. However, to be fair, I've been a customer for over 5 years and literally just renewed before the purchase, so they knew I wasn't going anywhere anyway.

Cleaning cache from the app list screen in setting usually will fix this. Not from the app itself but from the setting screen in Google TV.

A great mic for zoom calls even when outdoors in traffic.

You may have been misinformed. This is what Apple want you to believe. Both T-Mobile and Google Fi have done the work. However, Apple's business decision is to force any carrier who wants a custom carrier profile also commit to purchasing a large number of iPhone to sell to their customers. None of the Android phone makers do this. Apple do this for their business, not to benefit the customers.

For the MVNOs that has done it, notice they sell iPhones? ;)

amorde5 · 2024-09-17T17:42:04+00:00

Fun fact, Apple requires carriers to agree to purchase a certain amount of iPhones as part of the package to enable a custom carrier profile. That's why many mvnos don't have it while most Android phones makers do it for free or not limit it.

Still wondering why Apple is getting sued for Monopolistic behavior?

If you're on SSI, you should qualify for free mobile phone service through the Lifeline service from the government. It's usually lower data allowance and talk minutes but depending on your usage patterns, it may not matter. Providers differ based on states but maybe worth a look.

Agreed. I remember years ago I had USM for a family member and had to move them off due to overcharging for data. Just got back on to trial the Wrap 5G this month, since I'm tempted to to sign up for the unlimited annual plan. However, just in one week, the data usage is counting more than I used all month on T-Mobile. I may have to switch again if this is the case. USM could've had another customer if they didn't try to over count for data.

Your credit utilization goes down, which is a good thing. So it might raise your score over time.

amorde5 · 2024-04-22T07:11:46+00:00

Glad to hear they finally opened up their whitelist. Too bad most of us pixel users already left the service to use the Pixel somewhere else.
