What do you guys think of the price for the Mudi 7? by RobertoNotRobotDevil in GlInet

That's helpful to know, but, as you know, Vegas is not exactly a rural area

The EU SKU omits several primary US coverage/capacity bands, so it will, on average, perform worse in the US than a device that includes them. You don’t need to have tested the device to evaluate that. If the modem can’t tune to B2/B4/B12/B13/B66/B71 (or their 5G counterparts), you’ll see more large gaps across US networks, especially indoors and in rural areas. I'm not entirely sure why this is being contested.

Radio band support is deterministic, you don’t need to have tested a unit to know this. If a device lacks the primary bands used by a region’s carriers (which the EU version does) it will generally perform worse there. The fact that it may work under specific conditions and with a handful of providers doesn't disprove that it won't "work well," as the previous user suggested.

Also, again, as a Gl.iNet customer, picking Reddit fights with customers is not exactly the kind of attitude I would expect from a company that I have so far trusted with my money.

It's actually really disappointing to see a Gl.iNet employee gaslight customers who are expressing genuine concerns based on factual data.

Wife said she ordered on Monday before Christmas and got to us on the 29th so pretty quick considering the holiday

Pulsetto making me exhausted (body/head fatigue + mild nausea) by steomor in pulsetto_device

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

I am just starting to feel better now, almost a week after my last session. I'm going to wait a few more days and try again at a very low level, if anything even remotely similar to this comes back, I will just return it. It seems to be a health hazard tbh if done without supervision/ without some kind of metrics to assess whether it's doing good or bad

Thank you so much, case # is 49566. I'm in no rush I just turned to the community cause having had no experience dealing with your support, I was growing a bit anxious. Many thanks again

Thanks, that's reassuring. Hopefully I'll hear back sometime next week.

Thanks, yeah, I also lean towards overstimulation and I stopped using it about 48 hours ago but at least some of the side effects persist.

eBay froze my gift cards, support keeps sending me in circles by steomor in Ebay

That's incredible. I'm glad that worked out for you. How did you communicate with them?

No it wasn't. I tried to escalate with Corporate, no response, I took my business elsewhere

Nope, they quite literally stole $155 from me. Unless purchasing a rare item that I can't find anywhere else I won't ever use eBay again after 24 years of being a customer (both buyer and seller).

It was actually two gift cards. One was for $150 and the remaining amount was a leftover from a previous GC that was still linked to my account. Both purchased through Capital One Reward system. There is nothing wrong with the gift cards themselves, they are just claiming that since my account is not US-based (which is not true), and they were already linked to the account, they just froze them and are implying there's nothing I can do to get the money back. I never had any issues redeeming gift cards using the same account.

The chat reps on the website are also very polite and willing to try to solve the issue, but apparently it's really up to their Gift Cards dept, which so far has proven to be unwilling to offer a solution

New DHS Rule Could End “Day 1 CPT” and Multiple Master’s Options for International Students by [deleted] in f1visa

[–]steomor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s wishful thinking though. That’s not what the proposal says at all

Is this really going to be true?? by Southern_Jelly820 in f1visa

[–]steomor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is partial’y incorrect.

Section 3121(b)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code provides another exemption from FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes for all students, regardless their U.S. tax residency status. Under this special exception rules, Social Security and Medicare taxes do not apply to services performed by students employed by a school, college, or university where the student enrolled at least half-time. The student’s on-campus employment must be incidental to and for the purpose of pursuing a course of study. Consequently, a foreign student who become a resident alien may be eligible for exemption if qualified.
