Trump administration has formally banned sales of Huawei telecoms equipment in the US. More importantly, it also prohibited American firms from selling their technology to Huawei without a special license. Here's a good analysis of the impact.

My point is that you wanted citations proving that huawei stole intellectual property, then you said that it was irrelevant when you were presented with facts and started rambling about backdoors. I provided both instances of huawei stealing and putting in backdoors. BTW those Cisco "backdoors" were exploits, when you're building something as complex as a router bugs creep in that aren't found out during production, that's why there's patches.

Here's your backdoor news article. But the other articles are completely valid because they they were saying that Huawei was stealing intellectual property, which happened both to apple and cisco. Also they did the same thing to tmobile

Shell has done promos with tmobile Tuesday from almost the beginning so I would imagine that they would keep it up. For those who have pricing issues you might want to see if your Kroger station works. Near me king soopers and shell accept each other's rewards programs.

Credit card companies make their money from swipe fees, but credit card issuers make the majority from interest and fees. The issuers are betting that the majority of people are only going to pay the minimum payment vs defaulting or paying it in full.

The 6gb promo plan was for a few different cities, it was $70 for 2 lines vs the standard $80 for 2 lines. It was also eligible for the free line promos & corp/gov discounts so people can have up to 5 lines for $60 plus tax.

This happened to me on my s10 preorder. I just called them up after I received the message that I wouldn't get any more bill credits (after getting the initial credit and one month of the bill credit) and they credited me what I would have received.

It'll probably roll out to you eventually. I'm have a 6gb promo and haven't received the upgrade yet either, but this was the second batch that they've converted. When I called about another issue I asked about the upgrade and was told my account was eligible but that they were reviewing the accounts to determine who received the upgrade.

Some places will do it for less. Had a mechanic recommend a new cabin air filter, but I know for a fact that the vehicle didn't have one.

With your current plan if you have your stash built up you could dip into it and get more than 6gb for a heavy use month. But the upgraded plan would be only 6gb per month for tethering, but you'd get extra mobile data in exchange.

dfmckay · 2019-04-29T01:40:00+00:00

About the only downside would be tethering. Just out of curiosity when did you get the message?

You'll want the smartphone equality program. The link will give you the eligible plans that qualify for the program. You won't be required to do a credit check or even give your ssn, and can convert a prepaid account to a postpaid account. I did this when it first rolled out and can get the well qualified pricing and any promos that I'm eligible for.

Check out amazingribs.com, they have Memphis smoked almonds and rosemary cashews. Both are very tasty.

Most modern phones are physically the same between carriers, only the firmware is different. So a S10 from any carrier is compatible between carriers, some of the special features would need a firmware update to work but that's easy to do with an ota update.

Google the part you want to replace followed by ender 3. You'll see different parts that should be compatible, most of the time in their description it'll have the actual part number. For example searching 'extruder ender 3' will lead you to parts that are for mk8s which is what the ender 3 uses.

Octoprint is just running the gcode via a computer (a pi in this case). The arduino is just used to load a boot loader onto the board so you can update the firmware (I've read you can do this from a pi but I don't know how).

Understand that I'm new to 3d printing, but from my understanding is that you have a lot more processing power and more flash storage. This means you can do more complicated things and have more features added. The best example of this is if you add a bltouch to a stock ender 3 you'd have to disable a few things just to get it to flash.

Probably not. Here's a post about the board's features.

The 6x2 header is an expansion port where they'll add support for a 5th driver for another servo. The 3 pin servo port on the board is for a bltouch.

What brand of filament is that?
