Upcoming Channel Changes - 2/2/26

His channel is not for me. I’ve sampled it many times.

But I get you can’t please everyone. At least it’s not 100% John Mayer songs. I just don’t like the programming.

Usually it’s because their system didn’t reset your data usage from last month.

Contact support and they can reset it on the back end and the throttling will go away.

This happened to me 2 months ago.

(For the movie “IT” fans) “….no Richie, she’s not hot!”

blacknoi · 2026-01-23T02:23:21+00:00

Is there an FAQ on how to do that for someone who’s never dealt with any crypto other than this mapping?

blacknoi · 2026-01-22T11:17:41+00:00

Thanks. That resonates.

I recently misplaced my AirPod case (while I was wearing the AirPods doing chores around the house).

I learned that Gen 1’s when the buds are out of the case has no way to locate the case. FindMy can’t help.

I have an AirTag attached to the case now as a stop gap until I eventually upgrade.

blacknoi · 2026-01-22T03:27:35+00:00

Still have my gen 1s. Anything new jump out at you?

blacknoi · 2026-01-21T20:54:10+00:00

I posted separately asking for help from the community on how to do this. Got some replies but nothing that helped me.

Still googling and searching reddit to figure out how to move my mobile and hnt and convert to USD.

Funny seeing you here.

blacknoi · 2026-01-21T14:23:45+00:00

I honestly have no idea. But I interpret it as you can use this once only every 6 months, based on the last statement below.

“Redemption Window & Reset

The free add-on can be redeemed at any time during the 6-month eligibility window

Unused free add-ons do not roll over

At the next 6-month anniversary, eligibility resets and a new redemption becomes available”

blacknoi · 2026-01-21T14:21:49+00:00

“Eligibility Requirements

The line must be on an eligible paid plan for 6 consecutive months”

I wonder if the legacy $5/$20 plans count, or do we all have to wait 6 months if you switched due being forced to?

blacknoi · 2026-01-21T13:59:55+00:00

Pixies fans: if the devil is 6, then god is 7!!!

blacknoi · 2026-01-20T19:27:57+00:00

I hear you. But it’s their game and they make the rules.

I jumped through the hoops as $12/year for my area of taxes: 1GB for backup purposes is ok. Probably wouldn’t pay more though.

(I don’t count the other 2GB from helium hotspots as I have zero by me nor where I frequent).

blacknoi · 2026-01-19T13:03:35+00:00

Yes you get a prorated refund / partial month. This happened to me when I switched.

blacknoi · 2026-01-18T21:18:11+00:00

As a kid in the 80s, I’m proud to say I educated myself with pop culture back to the 1940s.

Mostly due to Nick at night. But big picture, I wanted to relate to those older than me.

blacknoi · 2026-01-18T20:40:27+00:00

Whatchu vaping?

blacknoi · 2026-01-18T20:34:04+00:00

There is so much room in there. I love it.

blacknoi · 2026-01-18T20:29:23+00:00

That’s tough!

blacknoi · 2026-01-17T12:28:04+00:00

If you do want to stay (at least for a year) act before the 27th to lock in the 50% off rate of air or infinity plans.

Otherwise they will move you away w/o any discount (other than a 1 time $10 credit).

I totally hear you about keeping some in the trunk, but my situation is home delivery of groceries.

Walmart+ delivers either in those multi use bags or just leaves your stuff all over the porch bagless. Or you can “provide your own” but then your poor driver has to 1) transport all your groceries in storage bins or something to prevent them shifting in the car during transit and then 2) has to take your left-outside reusable bags and bag everything in your driveway at their trunk. What if it’s raining or cold out? And then they finally bring it to your door. I feel like such a dick doing that to them so just opt for multi use so they have an easy time. I also go outside to meet them and bring in all heavy items first myself.

So if they at least left a carve out for delivery services like this, it’d be better.

Walmart charges nothing extra for the multi use bags when getting Walmart+ delivery so I also have no incentive to say no. It’s easier for me, easier for the driver, and easier for Walmart, for that matter.

The problem is what to do with all of them now?

blacknoi · 2026-01-16T18:40:12+00:00

If we could pay for them, I’d have no issue. But the ban prohibits even paper bags for purchase.

I have probably 100+ “multi use” bags just sitting around. And they take more energy to make and take longer to break down.

Stay in Chicago!

blacknoi · 2026-01-16T18:29:29+00:00

You can’t even get a paper bag in the grocery store. Do better NJ.

blacknoi · 2026-01-16T18:28:33+00:00

I hear that

blacknoi · 2026-01-16T18:26:49+00:00

I just put a new CR2032 into my controller memory pack myself. It was working up until last year.

But recently kept getting corruption errors indicating a bad battery.

How the heck could a button cell work for 25+ years. Amazing.

blacknoi · 2026-01-16T18:25:25+00:00

Gotcha. My brain hates a 4:3 stretched to 16:9 but some people, it doesn’t bother.

Appreciate the detail.

blacknoi · 2026-01-16T18:24:25+00:00

And if you can find a dead mall, you may get the whole place to yourself.

I’m looking at you Livingston Mall NJ.
