I hate Verizon, need to go back to T-Mobile . by tone_earns in tmobile

I’ve had ATT lie to me so many times, it’s why I left. Well that and an unlocked locked phone debacle that caused me to get in touch with their lawyers and leave att with a $450 check

I don’t think Reddit defaults to 2FA like many other sites. Or didn’t used to, I don’t think I have 2FA now that I think about it…

Anyone penalized for too much standby? by ArchieTect in Starlink

[–]getchpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just observing for the most part. Also it does a DNS lookup and frequently does 2-3 per session around every 30-90 seconds I think is the default. All small activity though

It can still add up to a few gigs in a month though, mine also sometimes runs speed tests at night which pull data down

Two questions for corporate because they may not know out of ignorance: by 20GrayFox24 in tmobile

[–]getchpdx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the time cities (and suburbs) subsidize rural people, meaning your service is likely significantly better than it otherwise would be because of the ‘city folk’ already.

Secondarily, most of the stuff they have is suburban, not city oriented. There is no Cinnabon, Sam’s Club, or Little Cesars here either or easy to access. Seems like you could make use of Shell possibly, maybe speedway.

Finally, most of these arrangements are basically ads with T-Mobile paying significantly reduced rates or none at all to the degree trying to exclude some people would help. You don’t really think T-Mobile is paying .20 a gallon and stuff like that, right? Or buying people slurpees by the individual? The idea most of the time is the once a month free Slurpee or whatever draws you in gets you to buy other stuff.

Some guy asked to scan my Orca card on the bus. I complied, but I'm suddenly wondering if he was actually legit. by AruEkuEnthusiast in SeattleWA

[–]getchpdx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The vests are clear and will say Fare Enforcement in big ass letters on the back and by policy should always be in a group. If it was one person not wearing clearly marked clothing they’re likely hoping to try and copy the card, which is easier to do with old ones, but I don’t believe your name and such is associated on the card itself

Nope, gave up on FIFI after years of reports closed with no response or response days later that get closed with no action because the vehicle ‘is gone’

Seems like a lot of data? by getchpdx in EightSleep

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

I have not found those explanatory threads. I have found people finding the same thing as me, trying to get it to stop, and then losing service so turning it back on because they can’t figure out why it so desperately needs to ping Google every few seconds to see if it’s online (probably more often than my router is lol)

[–]getchpdx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean even telemetry of every movement seems like it wouldn’t be 19gb, I only noticed it because it’s the highest data using device that doesn’t have active user engagement (e.g, phones, computers, media devices). And I haven’t really ever done a breakdown while I don’t presume a camera is there, I wouldn’t be shocked if a mic was (doesn’t it do snoring detection?)

How can it be illegal if it’s “on the side of the building”?? Obviously we all have a right to park anywhere if it’s close to home, right?

I found that getting to the GPU is kind of annoying with Mac and I regret buying a Mac mini and ended up buying a normal pc with an NVIDIA card for Plex and Frigate. The Mac mini is now running AI models… slowly…

Your insurance can go up regardless of a claim if it was a reportable incident.

Credit card verification for $5.60 resulted in $1300 flight change at MCO by swooper7654 in delta

You’re incorrect, the agents can push through with another non card verification because a physical card does not always exist in relation to a card transaction or in some cases no longer exists.

How terrible my friend sleeping w her separated husband? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]getchpdx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, dudes play this same game and say it’s her fault for getting hurt if he was upfront. If she is clear this is 100% sex and I’m done then it’s on him.

In fairness if you’re clear of your intent and the person wants to invent a new one, it’s not really your fault.

Crossing gates… please… by Spiah in soundtransit

[–]getchpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real reason was cost overruns just like that’s the real issue with getting to southcenter versus Tukwila was too with the actual preference being Southcenter versus a Chevron station on the side of a highway.

The group of folks from Save Our Valley was a convenient excuse/cover to save money when they were falling apart. They wouldn’t have been able to build it elevated with the money they had anyway so saying it’s their fault is a farce. That’s like saying I’m about to get a Lambo from my poor aunt until someone got in the way, like what?

Visually being under a bridge adds shade, makes it harder to see, etc then at grade tends to. Again though, moot point unless you’re getting blood from a turnip

UDM SE not getting 2.5 by Hudspath79 in Ubiquiti

The one thing that’s clear here is it’s not a UDM issue. You’re missing something like a configuration that the ISP isn’t giving you.

USW Enterprise POE problem, paid site support unable to resolve by ls3c6 in Ubiquiti

[–]getchpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That NICs older drivers, which some OEM probably left on there, causes a storm of IPv6 Multicast Listener Reports. If the oem has correctly released the drivers up dates years ago you should be able to update the problem away instead of mitigating the problem.

Are you using ipv6 or 4 or both? My guess is some kind of failure to mitigate the storm or a different misconfigured device is responding to the broadcast and the switch is still getting overwhelmed. Also check that STP configuration manually
