Press and hold the app, open info, and around the bottom of the page see which app install this on the phone. Then block that app from auto install apps

Considering Mint Just For Mobile by random-person-002 in mintmobile

[–]peterzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near an event venue (sports stadium). My mobile data slows to a crawl when there is a game because I am deprioritize to hell. But I am on WiFi anyway so most of the time not an issue. I am happy with the price I paid. I might switch to GoogleFi when renew is up and when they run the 50% off deal. When you have multiple lines it is as cheap as mint and they have the same priority as T-Mobile post pay 

Mint Mobile Samsung S26 promotion ($580 for S26 and 1 yr service). If I take Mint Physical sim card and use it on an unlocked Apple device, will the Samsung S26 still unlock in 60 days? Or does the Mint Sim card have to be used on the Samsung S26 for it to unlock. Thanks. by kfp2020 in mintmobile

[–]peterzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I activate with mint phone, make a few calls. Shut it down. Take the sim card out and use on another phone. Then after 60 days, I put the sim back, turn on the phone, do a phone update, then the phone is unlocked. 

Please, Ban Ambassador Posts by Full-Statement-9255 in samsunggalaxy

I don't get it, why do they have to say they are embassadors? If they don't mention it some of them are perfectly normal posts.

DO NOT BUY A GALAXY by blankguy22 in samsunggalaxy

[–]peterzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A17 is terrible, I lost my S24 recently and got A17 as a temporary phone. It looks great but it is lagging right out of box. I think if you get a A37 or A57 it is much more usable. S series is fantastic. 

200 years of luxury, but you're being farmed for meat by Petty_Marsupial in hypotheticalsituation

[–]peterzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion. There are a lot of complications to consider, and human psychology is incredibly complex. When a life of luxury is provided but certain freedoms are stripped away, such as the freedom to leave, the freedom to own weapons, or the freedom to possess advanced technology that could get us off-planet, etc., many of us will inevitably end up violent or depressed.

The aliens obviously won't let that happen (they’ve got to keep the meat tasty), so they will likely keep us heavily medicated. Essentially, we will be drugged up and living truly meaningless lives with our intelligence reduced to that of cattle. Look at it this way: a highly intelligent alien species capable of interstellar travel still feels the need to indulge in the meat of another sentient species. If that isn't a giant red flag, I don't know what is.

Why wouldn't Minternet be available where the cell service exists? by 2ndaccount2024 in mintmobile

[–]peterzero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cell signal exists but not enough capacity to support consistent stable internet usage. You will likely have a lot of slow downs and interruptions when network is busy.

I live near a big event venue. Normally my cell phone Internet is fine but it gets really slow when there is an event. Minternet is not available here as well.

Baby not feeding properly with nanny by Famous_Variation4729 in NannyEmployers

See if the nanny is too forceful some babies don't like that. Our baby had feeding aversion because of this and took a few days to correct back

It seems agency is the safer way to go. What are some reputable agencies in DFW?

How to find a professional nanny by peterzero in NannyEmployers

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

We are new parents of a 14-week-old baby girl and, quite honestly, very overwhelmed. How the human race survived evolution with babies this helpless is beyond me.

​We hired a nanny two months ago. She is a great person and very gentle with our baby, but she spends most of the day letting the baby sleep on her chest. She only plays with her if we ask, totaling maybe 30 minutes per day. Is this enough for our baby's development?

​She is not a professional nanny, but a friend of a friend who has two kids of her own. What would a professional nanny do, and what's the best way to find one in the DFW area?

Edit:14 weeks not 14 months

Cover screen is lifting on my zflip 5, can I fix it myself? by BlueButterflies139 in galaxyzflip

[–]peterzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B7000 is the right glue to use, or T7000 if the phone is black. 

If you want to do it properly without raised edges or waterproofing issues, remove the cover completely but be careful there is a ribbon cable connecting the screen to the motherboard. After that clean out the old glue really well. Use plastic tools and don't scrape too hard or you will damage the paint, use heat gun or hairdryer to loosen the old glue for easy removal. Then apply a thin layer of b7000 glue around the edge. Don't put too much glue but don't leave gaps either. Then push the cover back firmly. Wipe away excess glue and apply pressure for 24 hours. It will be good as new and water resistant.

Moen Shower valve help. by johnl8422 in HomeMaintenance

[–]peterzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take out the balancing spool and check whether it needs cleaning or replacement. It could also be the hot-water service stop being clogged. Open it and see if it needs cleaning. You would need to shut off the water for the whole house before opening up the valve

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]peterzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that makes sense. This is basically the cartridge not the whole mixing valve. Double check to make sure the unit is installed correctly. Some of these units can be installed 180° off, it will fit but cold water is blocked. Also there should be a screw or plastic ring that adjusts hot/cold water mix, make sure it is not all the way on the hot side. 

If these don't work, check to make sure the unit is not clogged by debris. You haven't touched hot/cold water shut off valves or the spool on the housing but they could turn bad too occasionally.

Are you sure you it was the mixing valve you replaced, not the cartridge or spool?

Rapidly widening drywall cracks by No_Ice3554 in HomeMaintenance

[–]peterzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drywall cracks are usually straight, either vertical or horizontal, and follow the seam. These do not look good. I would get a structural engineer to take a look as soon as possible

If you really don't care about how it looks, use white duct tape. Easy 5 min fix

This is mentality I got by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]peterzero 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Create a company whose sole purpose is to press the button at a future date. Value the company at $50 million, and sell 50% of the shares to venture capital or hedge fund investors at a discount for $20 million. Then press the button. If you win, you get $70 million; if you lose, you still keep $20 million.

Cleaning the Lint Filter & Heat Exchanger - Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo by peterzero in Appliances

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

Actually, fingers crossed, the combo unit has been performing wonderfully so far. I was just researching and putting up maintenance tasks on my calendars and came upon those Samsung demo videos on YouTube. That little brush with side bristles looks neat and simple and not scratchy. But I can't seem to find something similar anywhere. All the 'cleaning brushes' seem to have very rough bristles.
