you've never seen the amount of paper that the airlines use then. Each pilot release is printed... typically 10-20 pages, even more if the weather is bad.
Just like it's stupid-simple to find those that haven't turned off their phones on an airline flight, no one wants to spend the money and confront passengers because of security theater-- some passengers will actually be federal air marshals and don't want to be 'outed'.
then what is your plan with all the NIMBYs that cry over a cell tower in their backyard? Just shoot them and take their land? I may not like data caps, I may not like slowed data, but it is the nature of the beast. Just like how I don't like traffic congestion, I deal with it when it is 4pm and everyone is headed home.
T-mobile being good is all depending on where you live. Where I live, T-mobile has just recently entered the market. Coverage wise, they are no better than the cheapest of the cheap "BUY HERE -- PAY HERE" cell phone service. Leave town and have no coverage... However.. I will say that I think they have inked the LTE roaming deal with US Cellular which would have improved their coverage by a factor of 20.
I jumped my t-mo line over to Sprint to take advantage of the "One year of unlimited service for free" promo that yellow has been running. You couldn't pay me to stay on Sprint, even though the extended area coverage is nicer. It sucks walking thru town and having a cluster of blocks with good signal but absolutely no data.....
So, as to the Foxconn deal, I suppose my bottom lines are this. Did they reasonably protect the environment? Did the state come out okay on the deal over time compared to other companies? Did the people come out okay over time? Were people proud of their work there?
It hasn't been built yet but considering other companies have shuttered and shuffled to keep the sweet, sweet nectar of the TIF districts flowing.... I can't imagine that this would be any different. Get the money and run. The Dell plant in NC is one example of this.
Now, let's stop Foxconn and their blatant play at playing states for tax dollars and we'll talk.
I really doubt he'll do anything because most of the states passing out the government tit are republican states.
I mean, what's the difference.... a Chinese org buying an American company or a Taiwanese(Largest private Chinese employer) building chinese designed parts in America. Hmmmmmm? Oh wait, one requires Americans to build the spy parts... #MAGA!!11zomg
from someone who doesn't live in a major metro... this is the opposite. I can go where T-mobile doesn't exist (no roaming either) and everyone else does.
I love T-mobile for the customer-friendly aspects of it (binge on, tmo tuesdays, wifi calling that actually works, intl roaming)... but I value coverage more than that and everyone else has them beat with the exception of cheap international roaming...
Let me delete my data... can't keep it safe, you can't keep it at all.
Once they lose 30% of their data they might start being a little more careful about their cash stream.
I lied, I will let them keep one bit of data: USER DELETED DATA DUE TO 9/7/whatever breach and make it non-derogatory in the FICO scores.
Supposedly there's a certificate on the modem which is needed for authentication preventing true bridge mode. I don't know how true it is because I've swapped out modems before for friends and I've never had an issue where a modem hasn't come back online provided the circuit is still active.
credit union? When I was shopping one of the questions was.... do you sell it? Do you retain servicing? as expected, everyone sold it off right away, however, the credit union I chose retained servicing rights.. so at the end of the month, I get a letter from the credit union and if I have any problems, their servicing division is only 30 minutes away.
The pedestrian is being negligent by not being aware of their surroundings. It's really that simple.
Another way to look at it is if someone staring at their phone walks off a cliff, is it the cliffs fault for being there? Is it the property owners fault because the phone zombie ignored multiple signs and possibly walked over a rope fence?
Why not, you know, just let people live the way they want to live?
Busybodies and NIMBYism. They have nothing better to do then whine and complain about 'big city folk' or 'protecting our small community from the evil reaches of BIG CITY! Forgetting the fact that once you start populating rural, it becomes suburbia, which is what you escaped in the first place.
he was looking to buy a house
he submitted a request thru lendingtree to find out rates and downpayments and such.
no good/real offers came of it, just a bunch of scammers/bad deals.
according to some data brokers, he bought that house and lived there when they do an 'identifty verification' online, which typically asks you a few questions that only you should know.
10 years later he still gets scam calls trying to refinance a house he never bought.
everything has a risk.
Personally, I use online billpay from my bank to send the utilities a check. My bank doesn't just cut a check using my account information, they transfer the money out, cut a check on their own account number, and then send it. Some smaller banks and credit unions will just print a check using your account information, so, send yourself a bill pay for a buck and see if it's your information on the bottom.
Most major utilities use bank lockboxes or if they are large enough... their own. Mail fraud in those instances is very, very low because typically the mail goes out in large automated trays to those addresses vs the one or two letters that you and I are used to getting.
But you ask... sometimes it's an ACH payment using the Billpay... well.. you're right, sometimes it is. However, life is all about risk. Personally, I find it riskier to carry cash on me and drive to 10 different places to pay bills than it is to just go online, have the bank cut a couple checks, and ride it out. I also do not use the bank debit card for anything other than ATM transactions and a few places that will accept debit, but not credit. Sure, let some kiddie get my credit card number and go to town... it takes a phone call and a "um, not me" and I've got a new card on the way with no liability.

FAMS are already known to crew, nobody to out.

they both run LTE networks and LTE is the way of the foreseeable future. CDMA and GSM are not the main underlying topologies like they used to be.
but, let me guess, it's totally OK for a foreign national to make a donation to a super-pac, right?

they are handing them the money. It's not in tax deferments.
It's getting so bad they are now starting to throw Packers crap at it to try to sway the idiotic masses.

1) steal safe
2) stash safe
3) attach robot
4) profit?
Key to this is to make sure its bolted to the floor. Most home safes aren't.

I also speak french. Oui!
as long as you had the locate done and its still valid, it's the locating companies fault and they have to pay for it.
still is like that today. Plenty of smalls still get put in a mailbag.

Carry a cell phone? Audit trail.
Drive a car? Audit trail.
Walk on the sidewalk? Audit trail (with the amount of CCTV)
Remember, stores are now tracking who you are and what you buy by using facial recognition on their security cameras.
short of not wearing ANY electronics and having on a ski mask at all times.... then you'd be marked as an oddity and promptly scrutinized.
