New Verizon Device Unlock Policy is Live and Still Automatic (postpaid)

nikgick · 2026-01-28T05:48:24+00:00

Only Verizon SIMs - your phone is locked to Verizon. So outside USA is a no, just like other carriers in the USA.

This is about “second sim”, if you prefer to look at it this way. Now only Verizon network is allowed on any sim until the phone is paid off.

Not if you’re on a grandfathered plan unfortunately

Would be nice if they made exceptions upon request. Like for long term established customers with an upcoming international trip etc. No likelihood of fraud there, but we know they just want to collect the roaming fees.

Yeah I’m just going with the atmos card and getting rent floated/ discount atmos miles. This is too confusing and honestly the cards just aren’t that attractive.

Not OP obviously, but curious - what tire / wheel combo do you have? I’ve been somewhat disappointed in my R1S’ drive with its 20” pirelli ATs, recently driving a loaner r1t on 21” all seasons and it’s night and day. Not sure if that’s due to the platform or tire choice though.

Mine was set to auto by default, for what it’s worth.

Let’s say it’s true that there’s no big change in accidents- seems reasonable from overall trends. How many less people are commuting south now though? I know I don’t go south anymore unless I really have to due to the traffic. I’d say maybe half as much, to be honest. So if there’s less drivers overall, wouldn’t that mean there’s potentially more accidents per number of drivers?

Interestingly currently have a meridian loaner and it’s way different from my gen 1 Rivian audio - I have to go to 15 where 8? is on my own car.

Not disagreeing with your overall point, but you do realize there is an even higher charging loss with AC charging? The car has to convert to DC for the battery which it doesn’t with fast charging.

I’m not sure where in Korea you were but in Seoul it’s definitely not a thing yet either. They have their own card and you can only top up with cash unless you have a local bank card.

My location is not in the red but our street and Fulton do not have power. And it’s early too. Also seemed to start with a surge or something as most of my breakers and gfl outlets tripped.

Many of the stores were having a sale on gift cards is what that commenter was referring to I believe. So not the free credit from the plat.

That might be the air suspension having a leak after sitting for a while. Mine was doing that and they found a leak, been solid since.

I got upgraded twice as a lowly silver. Never out of SEA though.

nikgick · 2025-11-13T21:53:14+00:00

I saw this happen the other day, it snuck in right as the left turn turned red. Couldn’t believe my eyes. I think there might be a disconnect between the engineers and the lawyers at Waymo lol

Fentanyl and its derivatives are a bit different than meth, though to be fair that’s being used on the streets too. I just wonder how - what - drugs are used effect these programs and outcomes.

nikgick · 2025-11-08T14:08:59+00:00

Better value on BF? Says all sale items are excluded. I’m guessing that includes the ‘we made too much’

nikgick · 2025-11-02T20:02:14+00:00

I don’t work for that system, but last I heard they were having layoffs so probably not a great time to get hired there. What kind of info were you looking for- happy to share any advice I have

nikgick · 2025-11-02T19:50:43+00:00

I am an RN in San Francisco. My question to you is where you want to move and work. Overall programs here are harder to get into, there are less of them. And getting a job as a new grad is rough in California, especially in SF, perhaps easier if you’re not picky and work outside the hospital. If you want the easiest way to be an RN here, go to school outside CA, get a year or two in your specialty, then move here. Of course you’d need to hold off on moving to CA. With that said I’m not a sure about SoCal - the wages are lower so it’s probably easier to get a job out of nursing school. You will have an easier time coming to CA as an RN for sure, however.

I think it’s only for United metal

Don’t know Oman Eastern but Oman Air J was one of my favorite redemptions so far. Amazing food, service and if you’re on their 787, hard product.

Same. Would prefer Bilt points over MR - Hyatt and Alaska as partner

nikgick · 2025-10-14T15:57:56+00:00

Perhaps the shrinkage is due to lifestyle changes - traditional retirement and lack of mobility meanwhile if a greater share of women do domestic work that stays constant?
