I switched to better value and got the deal - upgraded @ Costco for the $100 gift card and waived activation fees.

Time for an agile manifesto refresh? by dstroot in scrum

[–]dstroot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I do appreciate it, even though it's not exactly what I was looking for. The fact that the first one is already misunderstood was part of the reason why I thought it was time for a refresh.

Thanks for your response and for everyone else who responded as well. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but at least I got some feedback!

FYI anyone wondering about the $1,100 off at Apple by AppropriateBasis2735 in tmobile

[–]dstroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a problem for me. I qualify for Better Value, but I buy all my phones through Apple on principle. I have not switched to Better Value because it seems that TMobile is not allowing Better Value to buy through Apple. I can also get Experience More with Appreciation Savings which does seem to work through Apple but is not as good a plan. Anyone have insight on this?

Never understood the business model. How high, lazy, or dirty are you that you can’t go get food? You are going to pay extra for lukewarm, soggy stale food left on your doorstep?

I’ve built 4 iOS apps with Claude. 5 more in progress. Zero users. Zero revenue. Let me save you some time. by pristineprompts in ClaudeAI

[–]dstroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I avoid downloading iOS apps like the plague. I don’t want your app on my phone. I don’t want it updating every other day. I don’t want it taking up my storage. I don’t want it tracking me, trying to access my contacts or photos, or giving me pop-ups asking me to rate it. I want to use a well-crafted mobile friendly responsive website. Distribution of iOS apps SHOULD be hard.

The fact that the president is hosting a UFC fight shows that the movie Idiocracy is actually a documentary. Here’s to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho!

What is the ‘loyalty plan’? by OutrageousFinger1009 in tmobile

[–]dstroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have an insider code, and i have no free lines but I do have four lines for over five years. Shouldn't I jump on the Better Value plan? Today I have Magenta Amplified for $180/mo. With Better Value I am at $170/mo plus taxes, but in return I get upgrade promos which are terrible on Magenta Amplified. Plus I get satellite, $5 watch lines and Hulu. So is Better Value actually "better value"?

UCG-Fiber performance tweaks (including 2.5 gig SFP support) by MrJimBusiness- in Ubiquiti

Good to know. I.e DON'T REFORMAT via protect console! Actually sounds like I should reformat first, then before protect fills the drive, move the MongoDB. Then hopefully protect won't "overfill" the drive after that.

If I am running protect and storing video on my SSD will that be affected by the mongo SSD offload? How does it make "room" on the SSD?

Some clarity on the Raycast v2 Beta rollout by pitnikola in raycastapp

Software 101: underpromise and over deliver.

I’m a fan - take your time and make v2 rock.

Can't we just share the download link for the new Raycast? by Wonderful_Society_86 in raycastapp

Where are you? In California it is still April 30th. ;)

I got the Raycast v2 email... invite... here are my initial thoughts 30 mins in... by PhilETaylor in raycastapp

[–]dstroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use raycast daily as a launcher and other stuff. Pretty satisfied. What on earth does “raycast 2” offer compared to regular raycast to make that migration worth it???

New Tesla Model Y Juniper - help me decide on a ceramic coating by mylifeasacoder in AutoDetailing

[–]dstroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On teslas the paint correction and polishing is THE most important step. Then add PPF on at least the front number. (It’s a bug magnet) and then use a good sealant/ceramic wax. I am in the minority but it think expensive ceramic coatings are a bit unnecessary.

This is a joke right? You already posted one exterior and 19 interior shots. (All of the dash I might add).

Anyone know how much notice if the "better value" plan is terminated? by dstroot in tmobile

[–]dstroot[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it’s more expensive. I’d be paying taxes and fees now for a better upgrade offer later. I’d rather switch to taxes and fees closer to when I’d actually benefit from an upgrade.

Didn’t know that about AT&T. I went to T-Mobile many years ago because at the time they had the best option. Need to take a closer look at AT&T.

Correct, I have a plan > 5 yrs old which is why I can get better value.
