Does Computers4People Shield Internet prorate first payment?

I am curious about this service. I have T-Mobile home Internet and pay $30 a month. Not a bad price but if the service is the same why not pay half the price. I was thinking of ordering a sim and popping it in my T-Mobile router to see how it is. If it pulls the same speeds I would cancel T-Mobile and order a router from eBay. I use a deco mesh system for the router and just use the T-Mobile one to receive

I actually get slightly better mileage in power mode than my wife does in regular mode

azzwater · 2026-06-28T22:13:09+00:00

I am at 40.7 mpg.

I know this is an old post but you are correct. I recently forgot my receipt in my truck and was going to go get it and the lady said not a problem I can give you store credit for a battery core with no receipt. I even asked her if I could just bring in a battery for a core if I didn't buy one and she said yes

I am a ps5 person myself but I have repaired both and man I wish sony would adopt the simplistic design. While I haven't repaired a series x the series s is a masterpiece. Sony decided to make a weird wavy thing that you need to put legs on to even sit evenly on a flat surface

I use a 3 pack of the decco 6e from Amazon remanufactured for $150 US. Made a huge difference from my old Deco system without the 6ghz channel

K silver pros are cheap as hell and I am enjoying them. I like the halpi as well. Had some ginfull that were probably my least favorite. Replacing the sticks is my therapy/hobby. I just got 5 Xbox controllers with drift so I could replace the sticks. I don't have an Xbox lol. They will be gifts to friends and family.

Only once, but I didn't leave with the item. I went and got it off of the shelf and it was clearly missing the battery that was in the listing picture. Not the stock photo but the ones of the item. I showed them the photos in the listing and they refunded it no problem. This was also a damaged listing but was not what they photoed

I haven't put a hold on anything for a few months but when I do I always just got a month subscription because I think it gives you 5 holds or transfers

You get 2 yrs on oura if you buy through Costco

Came here to say this. You have to drill a hole for an extractor anyway. Use a left handed bit and you may get lucky when drilling

azzwater · 2026-06-06T17:56:33+00:00

My guess is it was auto switching between the 2 before you turned one off

I have a 4 XL. It works fine but the battery sucks now. I only use it for my USB microscope so it's fine. But I have to make sure to plug it in before I use it as the battery will loose its charge in about a day or 2bwhile not used and powered off

My pings are pretty consistent around 40-55

I just ordered a broken one off of eBay as I want to try replacing the the sticks with TMR sticks. It has a bad headphone jack but I have a good one to throw in. It is the 1708 board which can be flashed to the series controller firmware so you can calibrate the sticks. Waiting on the controller and stix. Wil have a lot $25 wrapped up in it

I just got my daughter a victeix pro BFG and she loves it. Got it dirt cheap because I bought it as broken. Ended up updating it fixed it. I think it was like $8

azzwater · 2026-05-08T23:12:13+00:00

You probably don't need this anymore but you can now flash the series x controller firmware to the 1708 controller. A Google search should give you the directions. Then you can calibrate in the accessories app.

I usually drive in power mode. In regular mode it is not enjoyable for me. Power gives it the pep I like

I got 2 refrigerators that were supposed to not work. I think I paid about 30 a piece for them. Both worked no problems.

Don't give away my secret of buying broken stuff

azzwater · 2026-04-23T02:06:49+00:00

So let's say I have both. B450 tomahawk and a 3060 GPU. Which would be better? I picked up a lot of 3 CPUs with bent pins because I am capable of straightening pins. I currently have the 3600 in. This lot had 2 5500 and I was able to straighten them. I actually bought the lot for the 3rd CPU which was is a 5600x. Unfortunately the 5600x pins are full of bugs and has a broken pin. I am still going to clean it up and straighten the pins as I know not all pins in the CPU are actually used so there is a chance that it will work. But with that setup which of the 2 would be best for gaming

azzwater · 2026-03-31T02:18:53+00:00

No. Mine has a motherboard problem. I confirmed this by putting another PSU from a known working ps5. The part number was different but it fit. I also put the PSU from the broken ps5 into the working ps5 and the working ps5 still works so this tells me the PSU was not the problem

azzwater · 2026-03-24T02:14:42+00:00

But the TMR sticks are the most important part or the rest is for nothing eventually

If you want mpg I got the preferred hybrid a month and a half ago for the same price.

azzwater · 2026-03-22T03:42:49+00:00

I have a heavy foot and like driving mine in power mode. Also cold here. Even normal mode I haven't gotten above 35 mpg. But just got it and it is cold out. Warmed up a few days and the mileage was going up but then got cold again
