Consider a single earpiece, a Motorola Elite Flip or Silver. Excellent battery life, good audio if only in one ear, and a free ear might be handy. But I really like my BackBeat Fits.
Several battery cases are out there for iPhones.
An NXE armband might work better against moisture. Find them in TJMaxx, or of course the usual discount haunts.
They've caught my Micra every time I forgot to pack it in checked baggage. The last time I threw it in the amnesty barrel. The agent was visibly angry.
Because they were charging huge amounts of money For their service?
Does the amount actually matter?
Is it the amount you find particularly offensive?
Please say no. It The fine, and the FCC's action, are not about how much they charged, or should not be. It should be about the intentional interference. And if that leaves them unable to charge for their service, well, their business model for that is broken. Find something you actually *can* sell.
My point about the 'sweet spot' was that they may have been able to sell their service at a competitive, or at least inoffensive, price, or bundle it into other services without causing much alarm or encouraging customers to look elsewhere, maybe not. But a fine is punitive to change the behavior, not to penalize only for profiting. In this instance, even if they did not profit, they should have been fined. More because they made money? I am not at all sure that should be the standard. Enough to compel compliance is the standard for me..
The fine seems to be about 800 times a likely average fee for their service. About 257 or so fees per year. 5 a week.
Just enough for someone to realize it is not profitable enough to break the law, since the second fine would likely be larger. Time to cut the losses and move on, or price competitively.
There is a non-zero sweet spot for pricing where users would just pay it. The mistake was in not bundling it into space rentals or a 'facilities charge'. And pricing it so high it could not be hidden.
0. If you actually travel most everywhere in the U.S., nationwide coverage is a thing. If not, you'll lok at maps and rule out the two carriers that don't do a good job where you will actually be.
1. Some carriers are a lot more honest and forthcoming than others. Some about some things, others about others.
2. Everyone has anecdotal evidence of how their carrier is the worst. Useless. Ask the crowd, and sooner or later you will find some are truly devious, while others are merely self-centered. They all intend to make a profit. Those that make it by misleading you deserve to be scorned.
I've been using T-Mobile for 10+ years now, and coverage was always sufficient with the exception of my vacation spot, where it was pus. This year they finally installed LTE speed (goodbye GPRS!), but only on Band 2 (1900), which my M8 doesn't, despite specs claiming this, something to do with HSPA v LTE.
So, my anecdotal complaint added to a pile of smoking ruins.
"In today's YouTube world, there are officers reluctant to get out of their cars and do the work that controls violent crime,""
No, this is evidence that they have already lost control of the situation. They were in danger before YouTube, already outmanned and outgunned, it just wasn't on display so readily.
Our largest cities are being lost to the welfare/gang/drug class. this isn't about race, per se, as any race caught in that trap would likely do the same things and be in the same situation. Blame the governmental responses that have created the conditions resulting in war zones.

A Micra is a Leatherman tool.

Carbon dioxide is simply a product of combustion.
FTFY.
If it were as easy as calculating it from MPG or even fuel consumption, they wouldn't bother to measure it. They would calculate it.
Not that simple, it is.
I think you underestimate the capabilities of corporate America. If you can jam a wrench, you can jam Bluetooth.
First applied to WordPerfect. Though WP died when Windows incorporated print drivers and Word actually did have an advantage there.
Ditto. Working systems are not enough. You need marketing and penetration. Or something like that.

This is not a technical problem. Workarounds would also fail if the corporation decided to block Bluetooth.
The Fine is probably going to solve this. No BT necessary.
I need to look up some WiFi management software that can force me off APs by MAC address. Useful trick.
On my network, of course, not those on other networks.
Everything is click-bait. This is the Internet. You didn't know that?
Like I said. You'll use that excuse later.

If you can't calibrate your instruments, is it really such excellent science?
C'mon, man.
Please, someone mod this +1 Funny.
"if you want boxed mac-n-cheese"
You're doing it wrong.
No, just Linux.
That is not the same as the world.
Do or not do. There is no criticize.
It's a neat trick to define 'free speech' as that which is 'legal'...
Remember that. You'll use that excuse later.
You would have to duck to miss that. Even you

Is lack of running water a significant problem in the U.S.? Where? How much?
Which joke? All of them?
