I have high cholesterol. I can send you some if you want. Promise it will make you live longer, it says so on this lemmy comment…

Maybe yours, but…

Another one? Poor bastard, ah well

Well that’s just unrealistic

“but now it’s 0.2mm thinner!”

“but now it has just one USB port!”

“but now we stole Windows Aero!”

“but now we replaced the keyboard with a clickwheel!”

Yeah, like lmao wtf was that? I’d be in stitches laughing

Oof

The dude who draws the guy with a tie pointed upwards? That’s literally all I know regarding him. I see a ton of people happy that he’s dead but absolutely no idea why. Even the couple of links here don’t shed any light on the details of ‘why’.

‘oh no, here comes the smelly human again…’

Yep - all service providers support porting. The process for tello is very straightforward and self-service. And if tello doesn’t work for you, porting out to somewhere else is also stupid simple and fully self-service on tello.

Yes, it is a process known as ‘porting’. You will need your account number (usually your phone number, but verify that), your port(ing) pin which could be preset by you or a random time-sensitive number set by the (old) carrier, and to make sure the account is unlocked for porting. You then give these details (and your name, address, etc that they verify with the old carrier) and then begin the process. As fast as 60 seconds, as long as a couple of hours. You’ll lose service on the old sim when the new one takes control of the number.

It sounds complex but it’s not - I’ve done it several times with the big 3, their wholly-owned MVNOs, and third parties too. My main concern is a carrier fighting me, trying to retain me as a customer, by withholding my port pin. It’s never happened but I’m always anxious.

If you need more info just let me know =)

E: do NOT CANCEL SERVICE - that is done automatically at the completion of the porting process

Tello is solid, assuming you don’t need support beyond ‘how do I make phone calls’ tier 1 support, and that you don’t regularly get connected to an oversubscribed tower.

I’ve had tello as my second line for years and it’s fine, $6. But I tried to move my folks to it, and the tower we connect to at home is so badly saturated, data literally stops working during the day. Tello uses tmo, and tmo gives MVNOs qci8 (lower is better, 6 is ‘priority’ data for tmo). It’s the only downside to tello (but any tmo mvno will have the same issue).

E: excluding a couple metro by tmo plans, and one specific fi plan

This doesn’t affect unlocked devices, just devices purchased through vzw.

Never buy devices through the carrier. And never get postpaid service unless there is a very specific reason (I used to have AT&Ts highest business plan, to get the top tier data priority; it also cost me $100 a month). Buy the device through the manufacturer, then shop around for prepaid options.

I mean, as an actual disabled person… By just like, backing up to it?

There are a few comments about this and I’m like, yeah it’s stupid as fuck, but that’s not even what they are pointing out, it’s like they can’t grasp the concept of a wheelchair backing up. I don’t want to be around when they pull into a parking spot and then can’t drive forward out of it…

And while I agree that this seems more nefarious than anything, you (everyone in this thread) GREATLY overestimates the brainpower that goes into actual accessibility ‘features’. Put escalators front and center, but I have to take the service elevator? Put 1,000 hotel rooms, but only 5 are made for accessibility? Your store has a wheelchair ramp, all the fuck at the end of the building near the loading docks? Your store has electric carts, but not enough for all your disabled customers. You don’t have enough employees to help me load my purchase, so I have to hurt myself. Shit, even paving walkways, in fucking modular concrete squares, suck ass: when (not if) the front wheels get stuck, especially if I’m being pushed, my ass gets launched.

It sucks ass being disabled, but god damn it’s like the dumbest people get assigned to accessibility planning.

‘turbo shitting, oh yeah’

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-

135 through a school zone it is, then!

So basically, if I include food with sex, it’s a calorie positive activity, and none of that applies.

I need to open a pizza shop, this is going to get expensive fast otherwise. Now, who wants some meat-lovers? Extra large, of course 😏

Promise? 🥺👉👈
