I am also dumb and worthless.

Indeed. It’s an OS install, not an exam.

Not OP, but they have more space for battery, cooling, replaceable/upgradable components and keyboard with enough travel.

I mean, I’d even want a phone like Energizer P28K, so there’s that. Unfortunately, no headphone jack. Damn it.

Edit: Hold on, it seems GSMArena might have just missed it

Alright, I might actually get it.

Does the USA have any open market cellular options that are legitimate pay-as-you-go and only for what you use options like Europe yet?

I’ve lived under a rock for 10 years. I did Metro ages ago while most were still on contracts. Surely we’ve reached true capitalist open market freedom by now. Is it still total closed market, noncompetitive, privateering corruption?

The unlimited data plan offers 35GB at full 4G LTE/5G speed with 5GB of hotspot included. Data speed is reduced after 35GB.

Wow. Truly unlimited. And how much does it get reduced?

Let’s check ToS.

Your data speed will be reduced to lower speeds once you have used 35 GB of data in a billing period.

Uh, huh. Very precise information.
Also…

New and existing customers on qualifying plans including data have streaming video optimization technology automatically applied to our plans, and video is delivered at a lower resolution (typically 480p) rather than at a higher resolution which is better suited for larger screens. This helps customers stretch their Data Plans by reducing the amount of high-speed data consumed for streaming video.

What, how? How does that work?

Anyway, I am probably spoiled by Swan (4ka) in Slovakia.
It is the 4th carrier, weakening oligopoly of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange since 2015.
I have their unlimited data plan, which is 300GB, not 35GB, nor 5GB on hotspot. Of that I used 220GB so far in this month (usually I do around 100GB though). €13/month for me, €15 for new customers.
I am not even sure if limiting hotspot usage could be a thing in Europe. It sounds stupid enough.

None. All my playlists are fully unique, mostly because I am too lazy to actually make playlists.

There is a partial exception to it with one song: Louis Armstrong - When the saints go marching in
That is because I have 2 versions of it. One I ripped from YouTube in the past and like it more, and one I ripped from CD. The latter I keep in separate directory for album completion, just like culture mix of Big in Japan by Alphaville. I don’t like it, but I have rest of the album (also ripped from CD by myself).

I do have playlists, I almost never listen to full albums (nearly all songs I download individually), but I do that by categorizing new songs into the most fitting directory, and that’s it.

What song should I play for my bathroom neighbors?

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don’t want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

That still suggests the use of a camera.

Maybe they can, but it may not be free.

Up until a few months ago my bank used to charge €5 for PIN change at the ATM (unpaid accounts only).

Newly released music.
I have access to internet, not just decades, but centuries of music. Why should I need to know the songs released this year? It’s just a drop in the ocean. I don’t need to have the newest music right away.

Similarly with new movies.

If you can’t read the lemmy docs and get it going on your own server, that’s on you.

Theoretically not needed. Elest offers managed Lemmy hosting. But it gets more expensive this way. Comparing their Hetzner offers to Hetzner VPS offers directly, about twice as expensive.

It may be due to their processing.
Better base64 -w 0 myfile.zip > myfile.zip.txt

If it works though ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

Nah, screw that.

I currently have broken dependencies due to package from AUR which stops me from updating.
After last update everything is laggy after resuming laptop from sleep.
After last update, I cannot boot up with Linux 5.15. With nomodeset I was able to at least get TTY to upgrade kernel to 6.6.
Sometimes the function buttons die.
Stable now received upgrade to Plasma 6. It will likely kill my install.
I fear updates.

I use Manjaro, btw.

I did also have problems with Bing today, so that’s probably the problem.

Did you by any chance get this conclusion from Instagram comments?

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Isn’t that usually what happens though?

5G is the new best thing, people jump on 5G, 5G gets overloaded decreasing its speeds while 4G gets unloaded increasing its speeds.

Same thing it was with 4G, which is why I kept using 3G until start of 2024 when it got shut down here.

He won’t do anything? No, no, no. He specifically created it.
But you better not question god’s intentions.
He works in mysterious ways.
