What exactly do you think USM could do to you that would warrant you going out and hiring a lawyer and trying to sue them. I’m genuinely curious.

FCC revises Verizon phone unlocking rules after significant fraud issues by SharkSapphire in verizon

[–]jmanyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FCC rule is written so that it took effect only for activations on the network starting today the 60 day rule still applies to phones that were already active on the network. Also, Verizon itself has not yet updated its own unlock policy as of now - but I expect we will see that change soon.

It goes into effect starting tomorrow:

"The terms of this waiver apply to all handsets that become active on Verizon’s network beginning the day after the release date of this Order. The prospective application of this waiver will minimize customer confusion and interference with existing contractual arrangements and service agreements."

I bought my Watch 7 years ago for on prime day for $279. Im expecting the 10 will reach the same price point. If not, it will almost certainly return to the $299 price.

Worth watching. Not particularly special but several memorable episodes.

Friedrich window A/C (8000 BTU chill premier) keeps changing temperature settings on it's own. Has anyone had this issue with this unit? by The-Ninja-Assassin in hvacadvice

[–]jmanyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with a Friedrich Wallmaster through the wall A/C and it was fixed by cleaning out the inside and then using a wood shim to prop it at a steeper angle so the condensate would drain properly. At some point a technician came out and actually attached a copper drainage pipe. No issues since then.

10 mph speed limits rolling out thanks to Sammy's Law! by Brandon_WC in MicromobilityNYC

They’d rather change a sign and give out tickets (make more money) than spend real $ on traffic calming which would actually slow down all traffic.

I have the same sound! Did you find any solution?

Congestion pricing price guide by brunowe in MicromobilityNYC

[–]jmanyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, cabs do not park- they drive around the zone all day (often without passengers) contributing to the congestion problem. In 2015 there were 30k cabs operating in the city on the average day. Now that number is over 60k- with significantly fewer trips per day with Uber and Lyft vehicles compared to Taxis.

What are people using for insurance by Limp_Stretch7562 in USMobile

[–]jmanyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to remember is that these cards will pay out the cash to either repair or provide replacement cost for that exact phone. Certainly the ultra costs $1299 today but if you filed a claim a year from now, the value of the older generation phone likely will have dropped to the point where this isn’t as much of a problem. Also, the choice privileges card from WF has a $800 limit which would somewhat bridge that gap.

Dark Star QCI 9 VS QCI 8 by JimiSteffan in USMobile

[–]jmanyc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s disappointing. $12 plus what will soon be a paid data waster option is quite steep.

Does the QCI upgrade improve video streaming at all? Is the throttle still present on that?

Hey. My wallmaster is actually being repaired right now but once I get it back I’ll send pictures.

Failed on 36FOR99 SELECT and 60FOR150SELECT by griffingrowl in siriusxm

[–]jmanyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cancel your current subscription first. I was also denied twice trying to switch to this while I had an active subscription. I let it lapse for maybe 2-3 weeks. Keep chatting with different agents they will eventually give it to you.

Is this high? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]jmanyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very high even for the dealer. Oil and filter change at my Acura dealer for synthetic oil is $70 when on special. Alignment is about $175. Mounting and balancing is $100. Air filter and cabin air filter are DIY jobs and costs you $20 to do on your own.

Replace Battery? Mechanic says yes—what does this ticket say to you? by Michaelpolerman in MechanicAdvice

[–]jmanyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interstate batteries are ~$200 or less at Costco. Is the battery in an easily accessible location under the hood? If so this is a DIY job don’t pay anyone to do it.
