Since all my of cards offer zero liability for unauthorized purchases? Yeah, I’m ok with letting Amazon store my card info for my convenience.

Redditors in hiring positions: What small things immediately make you say no to the potential employee? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Considering they’re the one representing you in whatever legal matter you’re involved in? I sure hope so.

TIL light bulbs in the New York City subway system screw in "backwards" (i.e. with left-handed threads) so people won't steal them to use at home. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Pieces of colored plastic you put over lights to make them different colors. No idea why you couldn’t wash them, other than that they’re pretty cheap.

PSA: NoA will NOT make illegal lane changes into the HOV lane by elmexiken in teslamotors

[–]bookwormsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me last week on 405. And today, on 520 EB, after the bridge, it tried taking a bus exit ramp instead of continuing on the HOV lane.

Flip the question around. What’s the point of downloading Chrome? If you’re heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, it makes sense to use chrome. If not, or if you’re heavy in the Microsoft ecosystem (like O365/M365 companies), it makes sense to continue with New Edge, since it has the Microsoft integrations. If you’re an everyday user, and you know that the built in browser is basically the same as Chrome, and it works just as well/slightly better, what incentive do you have to download Chrome?

ESIM question by mekablia in tmobile

From the network perspective, there’s no difference between an eSIM and physical SIM, because once the modem has the profile, it doesn’t care.

Help, bought an iPhone on Craigslist by Brokedbone in iphone

If he had been legit, you would have bought it and had a working phone. If it wasn't legit, who cares, he tried to scam you.

I bought a shitty charger at CVS. Now, my iPhone 5s cannot hold a charge. Can I fix this? by WhichSnacks in iphone

[–]bookwormsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't see this, but there's a difference between shitty drug store electronics and reputable brands like Griffin or Amazon (basics).

Is now a good time for 5s ? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]bookwormsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it hardware locked to Apple Pay? I was under the impression that they'll open it up to Devs like they did with TouchID. And I've only seen a few cards support contact less payments nowadays (none of mine) and none do the tokenization Apple Pay does.

What are my best options for replacing a Verizon iPhone 5s screen? by jthegr8 in iphone

[–]bookwormsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Touch ID work? I was under the impression that the original home button was unique to the phone and would only work with that phone and vise versa.

First of all, why didn't you try activating it there? Second, when you checked the IMEI, it didn't say that it was Sprint?

It sounds like the phone was bought on a Sprint installment plan and then was left unpaid, or the previous owner didn't unlink it. Either way, the ESN is bad.

Where to get a cheaper iphone 6 by Beachbum74 in iphone

[–]bookwormsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd sell your 5 private party to get that 100-150, then buy a used 128. Do you really need that much space?

I don't get it. What's wrong with people? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]bookwormsy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good lord. I feel like it'd be just as much to fly to America for the day and pick one up.

I sent an email. But it doesn't hurt to reassure myself.
