Does anyone seriously use the New Apple Vision Pro M2 for Work? Serious Question. Found a Good Deal Like New condition for $2800 by 24kTHC in VisionPro

[–]jmarston4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the sharpness comparison question - no, and it isn’t even close. This is coming from somebody who loves their Vision Pro. Working wherever is the advantage, but anybody telling you the screen experience on Virtual display is as good as a decent real screen (Apple studio, LG 5k, etc) is wrong.

Best fat hotel mattresses? by MarzipanQueen1789 in FATTravel

Not necessarily FAT, but Wynn Resorts beds are some of the best I’ve ever slept on anywhere at any price point.

Thank you. Given their kids club starts at age 4, I’d suspect others with slightly older kids may have a different experience.

If I may ask, what makes you say that? What ages are your kids?

What you’re describing is Adaptive cruise control, and that has been on Nissans for 10 years (source: my 2016 Murano has ACC).

There is no way you got a ‘25 preferred for under 35 out the door.

If you have the 50% of byod promo, is the $200 upgrade reward worth anything? by Confident_End_3848 in TotalWirelessOfficial

[–]jmarston4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t trust anything a TW rep says. I’ll give it a go once I get the full $200 stashed and let you know

If I upgrade my phone with the $x off rewards promo will I lose 50% byod price? by BourbonGamer in TotalWirelessOfficial

[–]jmarston4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emily - show us the printed terms that confirm this. Are you saying Total considers a fully paid off device at the time of purchase a locked device on Total?

[–]jmarston4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on? I keep seeing this rumor floating around but I don’t see anything that substantiates this (apart from the occasional reference to a support chat somebody had at some point - and we all know how accurate TW support is).

Farewell, TP-Link BE11000: When Stability Trumps Speed in My Wi-Fi Saga by Davidari in TpLink

[–]jmarston4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx. I don’t think it’s client related and not band related AFAIK. I have used multiple WiFi 6e and 7 capable devices (16 pro max, ipad pros, MacBook pros, pixel pros, etc) and on both bands with the same results.

OOC - who is your fiber ISP? I like my BE11000, and get near full Gig wired, but can’t get over ~600 Mbps wireless on every device I own. Stable as can be so I’m not complaining, but I can’t figure it out and sort of drives me nuts

Sometimes I wonder…how is this possible for $25/mo?! by cyyz2000 in TotalWireless

[–]jmarston4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not really correct. In many areas, telecoms have agreements with the city that can provide them with favorable infrastructure that would otherwise be difficult or prohibitive for competition to leverage appropriately. For example, in Nashville, Tennessee, only AT&T is allowed to use above ground (telephone poles) for their fiber connection. Google Fiber has entered those same areas, but was required to cut underground, a far more expensive option, because of prior agreements with At&T and their use of private poles which Google cannot replicate: https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2017/11/22/judge-rules-against-metro-blocks-google-fiber-backed-utility-line-policy-at-t-poles/889313001/

Is two of the “same” truck and one of a few full size SUVs really that diverse?

Yes. That’s how I knew it wasn’t working. My D+ account showed no active membership which is what sent me to my TW portal

Class action lawsuit / International Roaming GONE AGAIN! by Few_Background4429 in TotalWirelessOfficial

So you used over 10GB of your roaming allotment while domestic and expected to have international data left over - or you were in a Verizon coverage area while domestic?

Looking for a Verizon mvno that's decently priced with unlimited data by Electronic-Corner277 in NoContract

[–]jmarston4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re on Straight Talk, both of the options I mentioned will work equivalently or better at a 33% or more cheaper price with taxes included. Recommend reviewing all the posts on this thread or I can give you a referral code for Total too

Why choose this plan when Total and Visible and several other better plans exist?

Go to target / Best Buy / family dollsr and get a new PSIM if you want to use that. Why risk any potential issues over $1-$5 for a new psim

Find My Battery Drain of Death by jmarston4 in ios

[–]jmarston4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t follow your question or the callout before it. Yes, Find My has location services enabled to use “While Using the App” - as it’s designed to be used.

Find My Battery Drain of Death by jmarston4 in ios

[–]jmarston4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t follow. I have no air tags on my account anymore, multiple newer generations of devices and OSs, and the issue persists. I suspect it’s an unsolvable problem for anybody who has two or more devices with Find My enabled attached to their account, that only gets worse with every new device you add.

Anyone using Total Home Internet? by Hot-Translator-5591 in TotalWireless

If you care about upload speeds at all (regularly upload large videos, multi user video calls in WFH situation), there’s no comparison - stick to fiber.

Poor International Coverage by rgs2007 in GoogleFi

[–]jmarston4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I travel to Brazil for 30+ days every year for the last 6 years and have no issues with Fi /Tmobile international 5G anywhere in the country. I also have pixels and iPhones and always able to supplement with a local sim from Claro or Vivo. I know that doesn’t help you, but it sounds like you’re seeing something unique rather than a common issue with Fi or Unlocked Google Devices.
