Today, I received a phone book with my mail. A hard copy. Yellow pages and all.

I wasn't even aware that was still a thing.

#Verizon asks for an end to its #phone unlocking requirements
Verizon faces phone unlocking requirements from its acquisition of 700MHz spectrum in 2008, and it's acquisition of prepaid provider TracFone in 2021. Requires when a customer buys a phone from Verizon it's locked to Verizon's network for 60 days, so that they can only use it with a Verizon SIM card. After 60 days, Verizon automatically unlocks the phone, allowing customer to use another carrier's network.

No matter how good your is, will always be garbage, and catch up to your or as they don't believe in and just go:

HEY LOOK, STUFF HAS MORE MEMORY AND PROCESSING POWER, LET'S CRAM A WHOLE BUNCH OF EXTRA SHIT IN NOBODY ACTUALLY NEEDS AND MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY IN THE MOST INEFFECTUAL WAY!!!

Some do, and you folks are doing GOD'S WORK.

Even with 4 gigs of ram on my phone and 8 cores, I still have freeze everything up.

If you're having trouble with phones breaking, or you just want a good case for your phone, get a Spigen "tough armor" case. I've dropped my Pixel 3 XL like at least a 100 times in the past 5 years I've had it, and haven't broken the screen once. Maybe it is anecdotal and I've just gotten wildly lucky. Or maybe this phone case is actually really fucking good.

Finally had to admit my #mobile #phone is old
Note 9 apparently from 2018 so it has lasted well
Micro$haft tell me android 11 now too old to run company portal and verify device for work emails
That's fine I can access them via webmail but it's a shot across the bow that banking apps and MFA will soon follow suit
Have been thinking about #nothing phone since they hyped the first gen

Bought a new protective case for my #phone. The package informed me that the case is #vegan.

Good to know, I guess. I wasn’t aware that silicon #cooking was a thing, tho. Is it a huge trend among hipsters these days?

The package of silicon case for a phone, mentioning that it’s ”vegan approved”.

When your behavior makes #Walmart earnings call look like a profile in courage, it may be time to reassess.

It's fun to get a new phone number and find out that the previous owner had a large social circle exclusively of debt collectors and newly arrested jail inmates.

It's a different level of fun when an incoming caller ID shows "Prison/Jail" without a location or place name, and from an unrecognized area code.

Oh, a voicemail.

Ooops, a real alert about an armed suspect nearby.
