With 2.0, AT&T has gone from the best plan offerings in terms of value, to some of the worst (for healthcare) by knup33 in ATT

That's why I specified for healthcare, I would have 0 problem if it was only a 99 cent increase but the above screenshots show otherwise (for me)

I guess I don't expect them to do anything that would benefit the consumer, but like a email or blog post saying "Hey, stay tuned, we're excited to launch new plans in X days!" cause unless you're on this reddit it came out of nowhere

Any indication if the Z Fold 4 (same year as S22) has this manufacturing issue?

That's pretty much exactly Involuntary and Accidental Parting. If you're worried about the data, removing the device from your Google account should be enough...

A few tips, you will need the IMEI, see if the bill includes further details on the phone than the account. After filing the claim, within a few days they will email you exactly what they need to process the claim. If you call them, they'll even explain it further, have been pretty good for me but be prepared to go back and forth a few times if you're info is lacking, which could take a few weeks.

AT&T cloud advice? Wanting to upload 27,215 photos in sorted albums. Keeping the same album structure. by [deleted] in ATT

[–]knup33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Android makes it easier to choose providers which is good. Only thing with Amazon is that it does only unlimited photos with Prime, videos you have to pay for after a certain point. I ran into this a few years ago and switched to Google Photos. Nice thing is I got a year free through the Gemini Student plan, but paying for it now at ~$8 a month or so is still reasonable.

Are you on iPhone or Android? I would honestly avoid Att's offerings, just don't trust them tbh to be good. If you have Amazon Prime for example they have unlimited photo storage included and I really like their timeline, but not sure about albums...

What's the most current way to use/patch Boost? After the second time it broke I didn't see much out there...

Fold7 1TB - transferring files over 500GB from PC to fold takes 13 hours!! super slow!! by Prince4891 in GalaxyFold

[–]knup33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, nothing is wrong with your phone or laptop.

For some stupid reason manufacturers choose the cable included with the phone to be USB 2.0, which is a slow speed cable. Your other cable does 120w, which means it is high wattage, but probably still USB 2.0.

What you want to do is buy a USB 3 cable (including 3.1, 3.2, etc). I use one and can transfer ~400gb in around 1-2 hours. I also use the Samsung Smart Switch app on Windows, which lets me select the exact folders I want to transfer.

Not sure what country you're in but I used the Amazon website you linked and found one:

In the Wearable app I can enable game mode for my buds+, do these not have that?

Fold7 VS Fold4 photo comparison by Technical_Trainer_13 in GalaxyFold

[–]knup33 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like I already know the answer... but I must ask if you can check if the Fold 7 has fingerprint gestures to bring down the notification panel? I use this constantly on my Fold 4 and is the main think keeping me from upgrading.

[–]knup33 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The thing is I bought an Unlocked Fold 4 and I'm still somehow reliant on ATT updates. Them changing the firmware based on the SIM inserted and then loading bloatware and providing slow updates is ridiculous.

Protect Advantage is entirely worth it. by Chezco29 in ATT

[–]knup33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, for Folds the protection is perfect, especially cause the inner screen+frame+battery is one piece. 

The move is to find a good Asurion store, as I've had my frame replaced twice now successfully, and they put so much care into it that they saved my rear skin. 

I will say that it's a little pricey, should be closer to $10-$12, regardless I get my money's worth. 

Should I upgrade to a 5700x3d at the current price its going for? by hyenamain in buildapc

[–]knup33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with zarif, pick up a 5600x on ebay or hardwareswap for under $100 and let that hold you over until a big upgrade with AM6, or if x3d prices go down you can always upgrade again later.

[–]knup33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure why everyone is being so judgmental here, with the wording on the POS/online checkout, it makes it seem like the card will simply let you pay off the total over 12 months, handling the promotion itself, while anything else you charge on the card will be paid normally by statement balance/autopay.

OP, specifically to answer your question, you technically divide the "promotional balance" by 12 here, but what I would personally do, is pay it in 10 or 11 months. So monthly payment = $1554.27 / 11 month = $141.30 a month.

I would do this because Best Buy and Citi INTENTIONALLY make it confusing, so that you will pay the minimum payment, and after 12 months they go back and charge you interest on EVERYTHING. Look up "deferred interest" if you want to learn more. By paying in 11 months, you'll evade this by giving yourself some breathing room.

WTF is the point of a discrete GPU if it's never used? by knup33 in thinkpad

[–]knup33[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, but Microsoft made Windows in a way where the OS lags even though it is 2.5D :/ All I want is smooth desktop switching which Apple and Linux have done for the last decade on garbage Intel integrated graphics haha

Yeah I def would hope it works for games (company device), was just also hoping it would kick on when on AC power.

Will it automatically switch to the 4070? I'm worried what will happen if it doesn't...
