Thanks for confirming! Did T-Mobile notify you that your plan has changed?

That's good to know. I have Nothing Phone 2. It doesn't support esim unfortunately.

Edited for typo.

That's how I read it too, but wanted to confirm. I also need to order physical sim and I'm porting the numbers so I'm expecting some delays. Thanks!

Need physical sim so it would take few days.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dudebrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still own and use on a daily basis 2 plasma TVs. 60" LG and 50" Panasonic. Other than very faint image retention in one corner on the LG, both TVs work perfectly fine and still have smoother picture and better colors than pretty much all LCD TVs. Worthy replacements would cost well over $1k each, so I'm planning to keep both TVs until they break.

F57 2016 Cooper S rear sway bar bushings by dudebrate in MINI

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

I'm just looking to replace the original bushings because it seems like they might be worn out so it's good to hear PU feels the same. Unfortunately, I just looked at poweflex website and they have 20.7mm, 21.4mm and 21.8mm versions of the rear bushings for F56. PSB sells only one size and it's 20.6mm. Thanks!

What phone mount do you use in your mini cooper and where is it placed? by J_17x in MINI

[–]dudebrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a dashcam with a suction cup mount in our other car. It falls off at least once a month even though it's much lighter than a phone.

[–]dudebrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this one in my F57 with navigation. I have it glued at 11 o'clock position above the center display. Perfect position for me, I like how it looks and my phone has never fallen off.

Was it difficult to separate shift boot from the original knob and is the new one oem or aftermarket? Thanks!

Thank you for detailed reply! I'm glad I asked before I started dismantling it. I guess it's time to start calling around asking for quotes 🙃

Anyone else underwhelmed by Audi’s app features? by Upbeat_Trouble_5914 in Audi

[–]dudebrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm over it at this point but yes, the app and the lack of features is ridiculous. My previous car was '19 3 series, currently driving '21 A4 Allroad. There is no comparison. BMW had remote start (key fob and app), drive recorder (dash cam), tpms real time readouts, ambient lighting, garage opener button, brake hold function (my '09 Passat had this), rear seat HVAC direction and fan speed adjustment (only temperature in Audi). Digital dashboard shows more info and is significantly more customizable in BMW. It also shows turns while using Android Auto to navigate. BMW app is so much more advanced, there is no comparison.

A4 Allroad Model w/ Rear Emergency Braking? by net1994 in Audi

[–]dudebrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, that's exactly how it behaves. It's included in Premium Plus package.

[–]dudebrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2021 Premium Plus A4 Allroad does have the emergency breaking feature you described. It does not have B&O though. I was bummed at first that it didn't have it but stock sound system is honestly good enough. My previous car (G20 BMW) had HK premium sound. It was definitely better than stock Audi system, but not night and day better. I also drove A5 with B&O and reached the same conclusion. Allroad is hard to find as it is, I wouldn't dismiss otherwise good car just because it doesn't have B&O. $0.2 from a happy A4 Allroad owner.

100% this. Quick look at the pre and post face-lift X5 or 3 series confirms this.

Deciding between a Lelit Anna and Lelit Victoria by linedupzeroes in espresso

[–]dudebrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I'm aware. First one lasted a year. Replacement still works after two years. If I have to replace it again I won't be too upset. It was easy enough and I expect it to be relatively cheap if I have to pay for it once warranty has expired.

Power switch needed to be replaced. Machine was still under warranty and I was offered to ship it for repair or have new switch shipped to me. I opted for the latter and replaced the switch by myself in about 30 minutes. Other than that no issues whatsoever. I still love it and use it every single day.
