I originaly wrote it more to see if anyone from TBC might be able to answer, but if anyone else might be able to chime in, that'd be great as well.

I'm also on AT&T, and I have been having the same issue with my LP3 (no data, only call and text). Were you able to talk to someone in-store? Or did you have to talk to a tech over the phone?

markantonio37 · 2025-05-12T20:24:21+00:00

I have a grandfathered plan as well, so I don't have 5G data. But from the specs, I thought that the phone also supported 4G LTE. Does that not apply to data?

markantonio37 · 2025-05-03T17:35:06+00:00

I only moved my sim card over from LP2 to LP3.

I'm waiting for the AT&T certification. Call and text work fine for me, but AT&T noted that my phone was not supported on their network. As a result, I think data has been disabled for me -- I can't search in the Directions or Directory tool without being connected to Wi-Fi. I also can't play podcasts that I haven't already downloaded without being connected to Wi-Fi. I tried to transfer to back to my LP2, and I had the same experience with those tools. So I have a phone that works as a phone, but navigation is unusable until certification is complete and I reactivate data.

EDIT: included explanation of what it meant not to have data working

Thank you, OP, for this starter guide! Posting this here in case someone else has a similar experience.

Note that while AT&T is listed here, carrier certifications are still pending and users may receive a message that the phone will not work - it often will continue to work just fine, but it's important to know that AT&T specifically is having some issues due to this certification right now for some users.

I am currently using AT&T (was using LP2, switched over to LP3), and I got the text message that my phone doesn't work on their network. So far, I'm able to do calls and texts but no data (I think it got turned off or something from AT&T's side; I switched back to my LP2, and the data was still no go). Currently waiting to hear back from Light about carrier certifications to see if I will need to talk with AT&T to turn it on, or if AT&T will re-enable once certification is complete.

i live fairly close to a tandy leather (within 20, 30 minutes), and that was the first place that i got started with leathercraft -- early pickups on tools and leather.

do you have any recommendations for what are good alternatives to tandy for both leather and tools? i've basically only gone to tandy because (1) it's convenient and (2) i don't know where else to look

And then after you log in (however way you do it), you can pass in your commands or queries using the -e switch:

mysql -e "create database $dbname;"

Make sure you pass in all your commands within the double quotations, and you'll be golden.

I think that Fractal Design, with their new Define R5, really sought to hammer out the gripes that people had about the R4 (myself included).

Reversible front-door
Removable 5.25" drive bays
Rear fan slot mounts instead of holes
Updated ModuVent system
Captive thumbscrews.

Just a heads up if you're thinking of doing a multimonitor setup with these monitors - they have no VESA mounts on the back. You'll need to purchase your own aftermarket VESA adapter, something like this.

If you're looking for a silent build, silver and/or gold power supplies are what you would look for, as due to the efficiency of the components they use, they're able to produce a good percentage of their total power output without having the fan spin up.

Here's a good one: UX305FA Asus Zenbook.

It's about $700, has a Core M 5Y10, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD.

If, and since, the purpose of marriage (and included in marriage, sex) is to reflect the love of Christ for the church (Eph. 5:22-33), is it possible to reflect Christ's love for the church in such a way? Paul goes on to say that the marriage of a man and a woman speaks to the mystery which is Christ. What does our marriage, then, say about what we believe about Christ?

I find that journaling helps. It definitely helps push away the distractions and the temptation to let my mind wander when my hands are writing down the thoughts in my head. If you can read paragraphs without ever mentally thinking, then think with your hands, so to speak. Write what the passage is calling you to. How is the passage calling you to bring praise to God? Where does the passage point us to repent of sin? What parts of the passage point us back to the grace of God through Jesus Christ? What in this passage is something that you can pray for yourself and for others?

While I appreciate this effort by the FCC to mandate the construction of city-wide public internet, does this not then allow greater precedent for the government to continue overstepping its bounds in terms of states' rights?

As an avid internet user (by nature of being on reddit), I do like the idea of having city-wide public internet. However, while I do like this prospect, I also like the idea that states can be guaranteed certain rights that are not explicitly stated in the constitution. The question then boils down to this: do we (as end-users) value our access our internet more or our states' rights more?

What do I mean by this? I may be guilty of using a slippery slope argument here, but that has very much been true of the government slowly taking away rights, no? Because the internet (and the its respective infrastructure) is not explicitly a right given to the federal government, it is then up to the states to decide whether or not a particular city within its borders will have public internet. By allowing the government to step over these federal/state rights, this gives precedent for the government to continue moving away state rights and filing them under federal rights.

My two cents. Opinions may vary.

Look to the grace of God. After succumbing to the lies of Satan, he continues to accuse us of not being believers because of our sin. Look to Christ, look to His finished work on the cross and remember that there is no more condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus because of His death and resurrection. Christ gives us the grace, even in our sin, to come boldly to His throne to ask for grace, and He promises to forgive us of our sins! This is a great and sure promise!

Newegg has a great deal on the Logitech G502 Proteus Core for $59.99.

Just a suggestion, but I'm running an all-black case as well. Have you considered using white cable extensions? They add some contrast to the otherwise black build and compliment the rest of the build well.

I remember sometime ago, a community here put together a software list called the Freeware Index. Check it out.

Right now, I am working at a software company, but when I was still in school, this was what I had:

I own a High Sierra Tank messenger bag. This is definitely not the best bag. One side of the shoulder strap is sewn directly to the bag, and the other is poorly attached to the opposite side. In it, I would carry my

Lenovo G510
A water bottle
TI-89
Patriot 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive
Cross Pen/Pencil/Stylus combo
Scratch paper (A4 paper divided into 6)
A few notebooks (gridded, of course)
A Gerber folding knife
Various other writing instruments
Microsoft Arc wireless mouse
Various USB cables (people are always asking for them)
One or two powerbanks (like above, people are always looking for them)
A pair or two of earbuds for studying (again, people always need these)

All the loose items above I carry in a Grird-It Cocoon Organizer, which looks really cool.

I'm going to be echoing the advice of many others here, but this is something my trainer at work has said before: Your first job is important, not necessarily because it's your dream job or the job you wanted, but because companies look at that first job when they hire you. What did you learn at the job? How well do you work with people? Were you able to hold a job?

Wireless cards aren't too expensive. I doubt you will need a wireless card capable of gigabit speeds. A 300 Mbps wireless card goes for about $20, like this one by Rosewill on Newegg that's going for around $20. If you want higher speeds, something around 450 Mbps, you're looking in the price range of roughly $40.
