That tethering limit was explained to me as a permanent throttle, not just when the network gets busy. Maybe they've changed it. Honestly, I'd switch to them in a hot minute if they didn't screw with tethering, even knowing about the 26 gig threshold for throttling. I wish wireless carriers would get over their tethering prejudice. It's childish.
They shouldn't call something unlimited if they limit your speed after a specific amount of data has been transferred. They should call it a "26 gig plan with no overage charges".
You don't see it because the spam gets filtered, not because the spam doesn't exist. And most of it doesn't even make it to your spam folder these days. It gets filtered at the edge before it even comes into you mail system. But I shouldn't have to explain that to someone with a ID lower than mine. Come on.
When they started this throttling thing, only a small number of video sources were "free" and I complained that this was a blatant violation of net neutrality.
But now they appear to be throttling all video across the board so all content is degraded equally. It's hard to argue that this isn't neutral.
A friend's mom fell for the "cash our totally legitimate [wink wink] checks and money orders for us and you can keep ten percent" scam. They cleaned her out. I feel a little bad for her (more for him because guess who had to step up and cover bills and mortgage payments). But I don't feel a lot bad because she wasn't old and senile. She got greedy tunnel vision.
If some company has tens of thousands of dollars in legitimate checks and money orders to deposit, they can get a bank account. The bank will assign them a personal banker who will stroke their egos (at the very least) every time they walk in the door. They won't need to find random people on the internet to cash the checks for a 10% fee. That's ridiculous.
I'm trying to figure out how this differs from the Media Creation Tool.
Your experience with the Lenovo has been standard for large manufacturers for many years. Been that way at least as far back as XP. The BIOS contains the validation/authentication info.
When will someone go to prison for storing credit card information in plaintext? Put the VP in charge of that division in prison for 6 months and make the company pay restitution to the financial institutions that have to issue new cards with new account numbers. And $50 to each consumer because now they have to spend a couple hours updating their billing information with all of their online vendors.
Doesn't sound very successful if the thing you're stealing becomes worthless because you successfully stole it. Unless you have significant holdings in other crypto-currencies which will increase in value due to their better security.

While the outside might be flashy, that's the most bland, boring interior I've ever seen in a concept car. That interior looks like it belongs in a sub-$2000 car for some emerging market.
But that's one chunky monkey of a 13" laptop. If I want something that small it's because I want a small laptop. If I get a 17" laptop, it can be as chunky as it wants but a 13" model needs to be slim and light.
I ate there once just to try it. Yech. If I had to choose between identity theft and eating there again, it would be a tough choice. Exactly how much would I have to eat?
This isn't the sort of thing likely to bother Apple; but the major downside will be that the monitor will be stuck with whatever GPU was integrated for its entire life
Yeah, you've pretty much described Apple products since the aughts. I don't think I've seen a significant number of video upgrades for Apple computers since the 90s. I remember maybe 10 years ago, there were a handful of aftermarket cards available for the Mac Pro but you had to buy the Apple version. Or get the PC version and a PC to flash the Apple-compatible BIOS onto them. The Mac Pros may have had expansion slots but there wasn't a heck of a lot of hardware you could plug into them.
So you're right. This isn't going to bother Apple in the least.
Verizon's not allowed to throttle grandfathered LTE. It's part of the agreement they made when they bought their huge chunk of the 700Mhz spectrum years ago. They're allowed to throttle 3G but I get LTE at home.
-108 dBm, 32 asu right now. I know it's not great but I averaged 4-5mbps during evening hours when I bought the house. I've used it a few times as a backup when the cable went out and it was fine. I streamed the superbowl in HD through my phone this year. The drop in performance is very recent. I was going to ignore it until they increased my bill. They should have left me alone.:)
I don't expect stellar performance with that signal but I'm getting 7Mbps now at 1:45am. I've seen it sustain 15Mbps just last week with the phone sitting in the same spot. If they're really that oversold that the service becomes unusable every evening, then I'm not the only one getting bad service and they need to increase capacity. They've got 3 LTE bands and my phone can use all of them. Spread it out. Add more towers at lower power or smaller arcs so the towers serve smaller areas.

I just looked. It now says, "Tethering at Max 3G speeds." That's a step up from the 2G they stated the last time I looked.

Shut up! You're giving away the plan!!!

And, with the drought, they don't have any water to put it out. (Yes, I know Vandenberg is ocean-adjacent. I was making a joke.)
Good!
You're special, aren't you?

Yeah, I would have crowdfunded Planet Express up to and including $300 and invited them to shut up while I did it.
I assume Fox would have cease-and-desisted that name, tho.

There's no excuse for this shit.

That's not a steering wheel. It's a directional hoop.
