FCC proposes 60-day unlocking rule for all mobile phones
  • I would generally agree with you, but in this case, Verizon has already been subject to such a rule for over a decade as a condition of the 700MHz spectrum. Verizon does offer subsidized/financed devices like the other carriers, it just doesn't SIM lock them beyond the initial period.

    Given this data point, I think it's a good idea to expand to the other carriers.

  • CES 2024 | Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid sticks Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered tablet on top of an Intel Meteor Lake laptop
  • I would love to put Linux on the computer side for daily use and then use the Android side for high resolution video streaming (Netflix, etc). Looks like a very unique device that will be great for those who can appreciate what it has to offer. Very cool!

  • The joy of cabbage
  • I am a huge cabbage fan as well. To the vinegar I would also add oil, salt, and pepper. Other nice touches include some shredded carrots or a bit of raw onion.

    I just ate some of this on a veggie burger. It was like 50% cabbage, 50% everything else

  • Was the Android 14 update recalled?
  • At least on Chrome OS, update engine does have a recall feature. The server can say, "if you've downloaded and installed an update and you're waiting to boot into it, cancel it and stick with what you have"

  • What is favourite File manager app and why ?
  • While not great as a general file manager, I use this app to launch into the hidden, built in file manager in Android. The major benefit is that it can access apps' data directories. Every other file manager is blocked from that (at least without root).

    The transition from the CCS1 to the Tesla's NACS charging connector is expected to kill the SAE J1772 (AC) plug, because NACS can be used for both AC and DC.

    The Switch From CCS1 To Tesla's NACS Connector Is Expected To Kill The J1772 AC Plug

    I was wondering with all the talk of NACS, what would happen to J1772. I think I found the answer, unless folks here see it differently. Thanks!

    AT&T Wireless Taxes and Fees, San Mateo County, CA 2023 July

    Hey folks, I've been trying out AT&T Postpaid. Prior to joining, it was a real paid to estimate what the taxes and fees would be. Well, now that I have that information from my bill, I'm sharing it out.

    This sheet shows the monthly charges (2 lines on Starter + 1 on Extra, all with 25% discount from having AT&T Fiber). It also shows the fees breakdown and does a line by line comparison with what AT&T public docs say the fees could be.

    Happy to answer any questions.

    How to oil these door hinges?

    Full photos for reference: https://imgur.com/a/sEEZez7 (the post photo is here because Wefwef said I need to attach a photo)

    Previously I've lubricated plenty of door hinges by popping out the pin, putting a bit of petroleum jelly, and hammering out back in. This door goes to our garage, tho, and it seems to have different looking hinges.

    I'm curious what's the best course of action. Is there a pin that can be easily removed like most interior doors, or do I need to do something different?

    Thanks in advance to this new community!

    Dumb, cheap phone for kid?

    Hey folks, my wife and I use Pixel phones, but we're starting to think about a phone for our kid, really just to be able to call 911, probably wouldn't even get data. We're looking for cheap and boring, the fewer features, the better. Also open to smart watches, tho we have no experience with them.

    Are there any devices that fit the bill? I'm thinking something like an old Nokia brick from 20 years ago, but of course with VoLTE/VoNR.

    Thanks for any help this community can provide!

    Everything can be salad dressing

    I know there are some classics like oil and vinegar, but when it comes down to it, actually a lot of foods can work as salad dressing.

    One simple dressing I make is a lazy peanut sauce: peanut butter, some sweet chili sauce, and a bit of hot water. Toss a few peanuts onto your leaves and it's pretty solid.

    But I've gone a lot further. If you have leftover soup or chili, that usually works pretty well. But you can also use pretty much any curry or really any stir fry. If there are big chunks, like a strip of seitan, you can either live with it, or spread it on a cutting board and chop chop chop before you toss it with the leaves.

    As for the leaves, my preference is something sturdy like finely shredded green cabbage or romaine.

    I know this post is a bit odd, not being a recipe. I just wanted to share that when it comes to salad, it's easy to be creative if you get out of the traditional salad mindset.
