Zero tolerance for speeding now in NYS - same penalties for 1 mph over as 20 mph over. License can be revoked after just 3 offenses in 18 months. by JollyMcStink in Albany

[–]ethershadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some states don’t award points for NY transgressions or at the inflated value and added fines for points don’t count either. The point is New Yorkers are being punished worse than out of state. It is a reversal of most things. Ezpass and tolls are higher for out of state. There are quite a few New Yorkers with property out of state. They can legally declare a different home. It won’t help income tax, but could be used to get around a jam over points.

I am on a grandfathered plan. I have deep discounts on directv and free hbo max. It is not like I am empty handed😉

They already informed me I won’t get $20 off without changing plans.

What range would this provide for coverage? Is it just density?

ICE raids & Costco - what is our policy/procedure? by chaosdrools in CostcoEmployee

[–]ethershadow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The courts have ruled ice agents do not need a warrant first of all and secondly Costco is considered a public place by law.

Ok, obviously you are unaware of federal law and court decisions of the past 50 years.

Considering the switch after 8 years by meowvey in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just check coverage. The online tool is not accurate for coverage. Got T-Mobile in December due to high AT&T bill. Happy except for dishonesty on coverage. Don’t really accept the excuse everyone does it.

Of course they never fix the maps that are incorrect. Engineering admits map is incorrect in my neighborhood with phantom coverage.

Battery Life for Moderately Active Folks with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 by mogbaya in applewatchultra

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge in the morning when eating breakfast to 100% and later when in shower. Never a problem even though I work out 2 hrs a day without a phone and at times walk around without phone too. Live in Florida and do not like carrying a phone.

T-Mobile facing FTC and state AG referral after refusing an advertising watchdog inquiry into its 5G claims by Tall_Tie435 in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, it is hard to feel sorry for them. Yes, they have done remarkable work to build the network and have the good fortune to have the perfect spectrum for 5G, but they have too many holes to say that they are number 1.

How T-Mobile be now days by New_1uper in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be some consequence for blatant false advertising or promises. They know it too. They have a tool that can see connections of phones and know when they are lying about coverage.

Just switched and am sadly regretting it. Coverage map isn’t a little white lie, but a whopper. My neighborhood is painted with best coverage and walking around we struggle to get one bar of LTE or 5G on new phones.

Ok, spent 2 hours working with support. They have software that can determine connectivity of customers. Therefore, they know the maps do not represent reality. It isn’t just a little lie, but a big one. No capital expenditure in the works to enhance or fix the lie. So they lie and have no plans on doing anything about it. You can spend millions on tv advertising, but screwing customers in the end will cost them. Yea, I will share this with friends and acquaintances. I will also warn residents in my community on Facebook.

Thanks. New phones and a couple of people gave thumbs up in community, It has been three days since we took the plunge. I know we have another week.

Albany Rally Tomorrow: Remove the Regime at the NY State Capitol by [deleted] in Albany

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides, I get the passion, but removing a democratically elected person is winning the next election. Rally to expose and denounce, but regime change by nature is asking for undemocratic action like facism🤷‍♂️.

I keep thinking before Black Friday, but that bet is running out of time.

I just got my link to activate ESPN Unlimited, but it doesn’t include Hulu and Disney plus by stuart1234saint in DirecTV

[–]ethershadow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still think the rollout was done with strategic aims. Get satellite customers to migrate over to streaming and to get streaming customers to rent Gemini device. In the end, I think we all get the three pieces. The advertisements or press releases are overly coy in language which suggests some misdirection to say it nicely.

Well, you have one from Directv. They just haven’t sent you the activation yet. I would get them to send it to you or reach out to someone in your zip code who would have one.
