You can continue thinking about winning, even without wasting the money on the ticket. I also fantasize from time to time about winning but I’ve never bought a ticket before.
If the FCC were functional, it would be nice for carriers to expose priority in the phone icons. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain to friends who lamented about “Full bars but no service, weird.” The current iconography is outdated and clearly confusing (read: misleading) to the public.
I think you’re right about this. There should be a special “limited” icon to show when your service is being deprioritized. I think would actually help the carriers as it would tell customer when a degradation of service was due to a congested network vs low signal.
I’m curious, is there some kind of real-life benchmarks available online for this?
I totally believe that a network would deprioritize the mvnos, and I’m guessing there is some pecking order depending on their contract with the network, but I’m curious how it converts to real world usage.
It's not really possible to benchmark real-world. But to see which priority your account is provisioned at just need ability to see lower-level information from the baseband. Deprioritization = QCI 9. Different carriers use different QCI's but 9 is lowest, 6 is usually highest priority. Network Signal Guru is an app for android that will report this information, but it usually requires root (I think the pixel phones do not, qualcomm devices usually do).
The radio layer is where deprioritization happens, not through deep packet inspection (as would be the case for video throttling). Having a strong signal with good RF conditions deprioritization won't be noticed as much, also won't be noticed if the sector isn't busy. If it is busy and you are near cell edge, that's when speeds will fall off (as the radio layer will schedule less time and resources for your device, and the worse conditions means it can't send as much data with those resources allocated).
Rather the opposite, I pay $20.99/month for unlimited for _just_ my iPad now on a different carrier because I don’t want to ever think about WiFi again when I’m not at home. Cellular is finally “good enough” that it’s better (faster/more reliable) than most hotel/public WiFi I’ve used in the past year.
First mirrorless for me was the Fujifilm X-T5. High resolution, great design, easy and fun to use. I find editing is rarely needed with the film simulations. I started with the 16-80 f4 and it really is an excellent all rounder but for wildlife the XF150-600 can’t be beat. Light and sharp!
Xapp works as well as I believe Apple lets them on iOS. You need to connect via the app, tap an iOS “Join WiFi” dialog, then 30-70% through the transfer it will stop and you need to tap again “This WiFi doesn’t have Internet, disconnect or continue?” and then it succeeds most of the time.
Don’t even get me started on Fujifilm refusing to support Geotagging unless the iOS app is in the foreground though. That is entirely Fuji’s fault and their design choice because apparently users complained that “it was tracking my location when the app is closed” uh duh that’s how geotagging works, turn off location if you don’t use it.
I have both the XT4 and the XH2.
I’m still surprised that in 2024 these big cameras don’t have a built-in something that does gps and sets the time correctly. The current time is floating in the air in radio waves. And gps units are small and with many low power options. Super annoying when you’re traveling around across timezones and suddenly all your photos are in the wrong time zone if you didn’t update it. Or if there is daylight savings update… And for gps, even a ballpark 1km gps range would be better than nothing.
Rather, multiple companies make games for one console. If you buy those games not made by Nintendo from sources other than Nintendo's shops then you can boycott Nintendo without boycotting non-Nintendo game developers.
I believe developers on consoles always pay the console manufacturer a fee per-copy, so not so much, but that's probably the way that pays Nintendo the least.
EDIT: Just remembered the second hand market. Carry on.
I think their point is that you're not taking a principled stand by stealing. If it matters enough to you to "boycott" the company, walk the walk and don't play the games by any means.
There might not be copyright infringement involved, so "stealing" is an unnecessary assumption (on top of being a misleading term for copyright infringement). Since Nintendo isn't the only source for games that run on Nintendo consoles, Nintendo might not get money from the self-proclaimed boycotter. But since there's no guarantee that Nintendo won't get money from the self-proclaimed either, I can understand why people would view the following scenario as cognitively dissonant:
A person only buys physical copies of non-Nintendo-made games which run on Nintendo devices from people reselling legally-distributed copies (legal in the US with the first-sale doctrine, which unfortunately doesn't apply to digital copies). The person plays those games by ripping the files and running them on third-party emulators. The person publicly states that they boycott Nintendo the company and that they play non-Nintendo-games made for Nintendo consoles. Resellers might or might not spend their money on more Nintendo games.
By the way, iamunr didn't claim to boycott Nintendo. Perhaps iamunr buys Nintendo games but plays them on emulators. throwaway48r7r didn't provide any information about whether they'll continue playing non-Nintendo-made games for Nintendo consoles.
Interesting. I have had a Subaru, Lexus, and Volvo over the past 15 years or so that all shut off if a door is opened after remote starting. I assumed it’s a no brainer anti theft mechanism (but one that can only be implemented by manufacturers).
