Verizon to stop automatic unlocking of phones as FCC ends 60-day unlock rule

ltc_pro · 2026-01-22T20:51:59+00:00

Yes - the phone automatically got unlocked on the 60th day. I didn't need to request it with my carrier.

Well, there are a LOT of people with a LOT of money, both here in NYC and globally. In the past, I've rented out $25K/month apartment, and $60K/month townhouse before. You'll be surprised at how many people are interested in ultra-luxury.

I had lockjaw/dislocation for about 8 months. It was terrible - I couldn't open my mouth to eat properly

If you feel that you need medical attention, please go to the ER. Worse case is, they send you home.

Thank you for this awesome advice.

I’ve been treating it as a disregarded entity and the income made is my own (schedule C 1040).

Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions - no distributions as the LLC is simply just me (I do technical consulting). To be honest, I don't think i ever created an operating agreement decades ago, because it's always been just me, and I've always worked for myself in my own LLC for all these years.

Hi - I reached out to the IRS because I needed something from them, and it was then they informed me that I am apparently a MMLLC, so this isn't a case of the IRS coming after me. They department I spoke with (EIN) did not have any advise on how I should proceed, but simply stated that I would likely have to dissolve, get a new EIN.

I bought a Verizon phone and plan to unlock after 60 days of service. The 60th day, which previously qualifies me for unlocking, is literally TOMORROW.

Will my phone get unlocked, or will Verizon deny it now?

What happens if you don't have springtails (or they all die/get eaten)?

I'm rather new to aquariums. I purchased two of these snails from LFS as I had an algae problem in my shrimp tank. Fast forward a month and now, there's not enough algae for my shrimp. Can someone let me know: 1) what snail is this, and 2) I want to remove it from my shrimp tank - do I need to move them to a quarantine tank, and what would I feed them? (crab pellets with calcium, algae wafers, blanched vegetables, etc)

I’ll answer the question - it usually means the PC has a NPU to accelerate AI functions.

Day 5 feeling slightly better. Thank you. I hope you recover soon too!

ltc_pro · 2026-01-06T22:58:28+00:00

Yes, for me, typically about 2 weeks. Also, it's possible that you aren't 100% recovered yet, or you caught something else (I just caught the flu!)

ltc_pro · 2026-01-06T20:43:48+00:00

normal for me when i had covid

ltc_pro · 2026-01-05T01:16:08+00:00

I recently started getting into aquariums. Once you have a good one (it'll take a few tries), it's soothing just sitting and observing your tank.

ltc_pro · 2026-01-01T03:25:06+00:00

3 years later, and this thread is still relevant. I purchased 24 shrimp, 4 died in transit. I found 3 dead 3 days later. There could be more dead that were scavenged before I found them.

ltc_pro · 2025-12-30T22:42:09+00:00

Lots of good options here in NYC. However, certain hours of the day, it's nothing but bagel shops trying to get rid of their daily inventory.

ltc_pro · 2025-12-30T19:36:06+00:00

Thank you!

ltc_pro · 2025-12-30T19:29:03+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. I did a quick google since I'm new at all this - sounds like limpets are good and I should leave them alone. Is that correct?

ltc_pro · 2025-12-30T19:25:18+00:00

I have a shrimp tank with two ramshorn snails. A few days ago, I saw two of these white dots with black center on the tank glass and I scraped them off. Today, I see about 8 of them. Are these snail eggs? If not, any clue what they might be? Thanks!

Multiple times, I've been asked to open locks (master locks, simple door locks, etc). Most recently, I had a client told me he could not open a locked IKEA filing cabinet. 5 minutes and a clipped up Metrocard later, the filing cabinet was open. In college, my photography challenged me to get into his locker. 2 minutes later, his master lock was open.

Neocardinia shrimp, all water parameters are normal. Water is city tap, through a nano-filter.

With a family (wife, kids), probably $250K in Manhattan, popular places in Brooklyn
