To be fair, she sometimes has service outside of major cities. That was a bit of an exaggeration. But she also doesn’t have service in areas you’d expect every carrier to have coverage. It’s definitely the spottiest of the major carriers. Worth looking into before switching to them for sure.

I know - I was just poking fun at T-Mobile. And in all seriousness, it could be a great carrier for folks who don’t care about the spotty coverage.

Who T-Mobile’s best for: People who stream a lot of music and people who travel to Mexico or Canada often but only need service in major cities.

Same here - sounds like $3.50 lightning cables to me! Plus I used my Discover card which gets 5% back on Amazon this quarter, bringing them down to $3.20 each

Right, that’s what makes the prank impractical.

I owned laptops during that period, but never a Toshiba. I was aware of the market, though, and don’t recall anything like that. A quick Google has failed to turn anything up. Can you prove your claim?

I’ve transcended condescending words and now just attach screenshots with huge, condescending, pink arrows pointing at whatever the user failed to see. Thanks, Skitch.

For just $99/year you can have this benefit and much more, without the burden of a Fire Phone.

Has anyone used both the Revolution and the Master who could compare the two? I have yet to find a mouse that stacks up against my Revolution. I’ve even repaired it once to avoid having to pay some outrageous price to replace it or move to a different mouse. One of the primary issues that I have with newer mice is…

I love my Revolution so much that when the left button failed recently, I nearly considered paying some multi-hundred dollars to replace the mouse, then I realized I could probably fix it. Sure enough, I took it apart, probably just as you did, and fixed it. Not sure I’ve ever loved a piece of electronics enough to do…

Yup - I rarely even price check, I just assume Amazon has the best price, and if not, the few times it doesn’t probably isn’t worth my time to shop around for every single item - and the shipping costs probably offset any difference, anyway.

Thanks! I’ve looked into it a few times, but the tip always deters me when I could order the same item for the same price and get it delivered the same day or the next day, just not within an hour or two, without having to pay the tip. One day I’ll probably really need something and find it useful, it just hasn’t…

Yeah it’s pretty rare that you need something so bad that you need to order it with same-day delivery, but can’t or won’t go out and buy it from a store, but it’s pretty cool. Ironically, the folks who really need that service - those in rural areas where it may be difficult to find stores selling items they want -…

Yeah! I had that exact same mindset before it became free (for some items). At first, it’s annoying to have to pay any shipping, then you compare it to overnight shipping from any other merchant and realize $3.99 is a bargain. And, frankly, I found that if I was hesitating to pay the next day charge, I really didn’t…

Also, in some markets, free same-day delivery. Here in NYC, I ordered something at 10 or 11 in the morning, and had it that evening. For free!

I used to buy battery cases for my iPhones, but since I typically upgrade every year, it became an expensive accessory to be purchasing every year only to be used in situations where I wouldn’t be near an outlet at all during a long day with heavy phone use. This year, I bought a Jackery Mini and Jackery Air. Now, I…

+1000000 for rsync, I use it regularly for work and personal stuff. There is no better tool on any platform to move a large number of files.

+1 for screen, the last thing you want is to find out the next day that your machine rebooted, or lost its connection or something and killed the transfer.

Compressing is a situational call. I wouldn’t say it’s always the right one. Over a local, gigabit network, with slow devices, you may spend more time compressing than it’s worth. Of course, that depends on the kinds of files you’re transferring, how powerful the sender is, and how fast the network is, so there’s a…
