That's why your cost doesn't go up - it doesn't reduce the other plans. But these high-tier plans require infrastructure build-out and they're the one they can get the revenue out of.
Maximizing revenue means keeping low-tier people for incremental income when they're barely profitable.
federal government's responsibility to clean-up after PR nationalized all of their power companies
If PR managed to nationalize their power companies, then that would make them the direct responsibility of our federal government. Do you even know what words you're saying?
The people who pay the most always subsidize the people who pay the least. Plans like this are going to make voice-only or small plans relatively cheaper because of the infrastructure capacity that needs to be built.
This is to encourage users to view videos directly on the phone, with its physically smaller screen,
Physically smaller, physically closer. My screen is over 1080p and at the relative viewing distance needs the resolution more than my 42" TV at 5 feet.
If you need fine print to name something "unlimited" but then sell an "extra unlimited" plan, you are really just trying to be deceptive.
You're talking to the wrong person. I go as far as using unscented laundry detergent because my nose literally can't handle the stench of it. With soaps and shampoos I at least need a mild fragrance because I hate the smell of pure soap itself. I have a sensitive nose - enough that I can smell ketones of the drunk driver in the car in front of me (if their window is open). Maybe that only applies if they're a chronic drunk and their whole car smells of it, but it's very noticeable to me when I've caught it.
Storing the key in plaintext would be fine, since then you only have to encrypt the key when you set the PIN rather than encrypt the whole device (a poor user experience) - would save loads of time. And not knowing exactly how the secure enclave works, I don't know that the key itself would ever have to be exposed to userspace - just unlocked without authentication.
Many modern phones won't even work if you put electrical tape over that camera.They MUST see something so they can register the image and put it in their database.
Use a smaller piece of tape and stop covering the ambient light sensor.
the premium you paid for the quality of old isn't worth it.
Not sure that's true. A TV that lasts 20 years may cost 3 times the price way back when, but a TV that lasts 5 years has to be replaced 4 times as often.
We have LED backlights now, but my current TV is still a CCFL and it's only a matter of time before it goes. And I'm not going to try to replace that bulb - it's too hard.
That hasn't actually stopped retirement age from increasing. Knowledge workers don't need to be healthy to get work done (says the 3-letter bosses, anyway).

And that's why if they nationalized, it would be under the US government. Practice your reading comprehension.

What are you babbling about? I'm talking about a 1-person use case.

PR-reasons,
Tee-hee. P.R. reasons.
Restoring power is more their line of work. Providing clean water during a hurricane is as much Tesla's ideal job as it is Best Buy's.
They don't transcode. They just simulate lower bandwidth when connecting to certain hosts (my guess, but probably).
But I don't see how this does anything for safe harbor.
$10 more for a higher restriction. Streaming bandwidth is still restricted.
They can void the contract and drop you. But they won't - because it's more profitable to grandfather you in (for now)

Stop using math. Verizon is not good at math. They aren't good at calculating overages.
"Beyond Unlimited" plan tops out at 720p video on smartphones (and 1080p on tablets).
You'll need the "Really, Really Unlimited" plan to get 1080p on your phone, 4k on tablets.
The bad news is that you've been replaced by a robot....the good news is that you are the robot (after a few more surgeries).

And dosing people with nicotine. Not to mention the byproducts overheated propylene glycol in some cases.

Yeah, and a "mass shooting" in a stadium is nothing if they don't hit at least 10% of them.
giving them an easy way to unlock the phone was better than nothing.
Not only that, I'm pretty sure you're required to set up a PIN or other password when you set up TouchID.

coming up in the US will no longer have to take gloves off or use a passcode to unlock a phone
No, but you'd have to take the gloves off to answer the phone or do almost any useful work after unlocking it.
the device in your pocket right now will probably still not be obsolete in 10 years.
Unless you include planned obsolescence. It's a lot of work keeping a phone patched with security updates when the manufacturer stops after 2-3 years.

Why not save on your Tesla the same way? Buy it used on eBay, swap in a $9,000 battery and you're good to go.
