Thanks! That mostly answered my questions, albeit with Verizon rather than AT&T. My S21 is carrier-locked in the same way, so I can unlock it after it’s completely paid off. Unfortunately, there’s no way to purge the rest of the ATTification - I don’t care about the easy-to-ignore extra apps, but the branding on…

My unlocked S20 worked fine with RCS on AT&T, and yes, my buddy’s T-Mobile S21 does RCS without a hitch. Unfortunately, I live in a rural town that T-Mobile basically carved around with coverage, so ATT (ugh) and VZW (nope) are my only options.

Hey, so do carriers treat these phones the way they do other Android phones, i.e. carrier-locked with a bunch of branded bloatware? My last phone purchases I went from an S20 bought straight from Samsung to an S21 bought from AT&T, and the S21 is loaded with branding and operates functionally worse (among other…

Nobody cares what Mazepin has to say anyway, unless it’s “I’m quitting F1”

I know you meant to type “Marlboro” to indicate the tobacco company, but I am all for “Malboro” as in the awful recurring Final Fantasy monster whose whole schtick is inflicting all the worst ailments upon you... Seems pretty on-brand for Facebook.

Brother has one (and doesn’t drive it, grrr!) “My G8 will smoke that G6” was one of his favorites.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome (from the greys)! I just wanted to say that I truly appreciated your personal story/revelation of finally finding “someone like you” in Lewis Hamilton. It means a lot to feel represented in a sport you love, and (as much as I can’t stand the guy) you lucked out that he happens to be one…

Trade blue out for violet on the lighting programming please; let me specify argv as the gods intended

ahem

Well done, fellow protocol nerd.

“eaFootball” please

Blood money commissioned Tilke to paint lines on another parking lot, what a valuable addition to the calendar /s

Logarithmically faster! Yay math :)

We had a ‘Splo of around the same vintage way back when - green, even - but with the 4.9L and five-speed (where I learned to drive stick!)

As a person paralyzed chest-/shoulders-down (quadriplegia) from an incomplete spinal cord injury, I would absolutely love to go to space and see just how much motor control I have without that pesky force of gravity holding me back. By way of my SCI being incomplete, I do have limited sensation everywhere below injury…

Perfect time to cancel one of the sportswashing/crimes-against-humanity (err, worse than the US) countries! Bonus points if it’s a Tilkedrome ;) Seriously though, instituting a restrictive budget cap and then expanding the season longer than ever is some real rocket surgery logic.

[Secular] amen to all of this! I’ve been a gamer my entire life, but the past decade-plus I’ve been a quadriplegic gamer. Once upon a time I was beating Halos on Legendary, speedrunning platformers, etc.; now I have to play with clunky joysticks, fist-sized buttons, and mouth controls. I still want to play all sorts…

“ducktail spoiler, and rear canards”

Slight NP, with the acknowledgement that the awesome hard top is made up of 3.0x10^8 parts ready to break at any time. On the bright side, if it stops working when it’s up, it’s just a coupe!
