What first world problem did you have today?

[lxskllr]

Isn't it kind of expensive to use cell as primary internet? Once you go over the cap you're paying extra per MB. There are some plans where they throttle you down and you don't pay extra though but not sure I'd want that as my main internet either. I guess I'm spoiled with my uncapped fibre connection, I can use as much as I want. I pushed a few TB in a day once just to see if I could.

The walmart phone was unlimited everything(throttling after a lot) and 30gb hotspot for $50/month($54.nn after taxes/nonsense). Visible is unlimited everything(including hotspot, but that's limited to 10Mb) for $45/month(all included) or $395/yr if you prepay.

There's a lot of reasons this stuff could be considered a bad deal, but I like the flexibility of just being able to quit. If I don't like terms, I just stop paying. I can get by on reduced bandwidth cause I don't game, and I watch very little video

I'm still on TracFone/AT&T and have no idea what I'll do.

This is a combined FWP & RFWP. The cable the new phone came with has two small ends. WTF am I supposed to do with that?! While I was digging in a drawer for a different cable, I found $500 I forgot about. Didn't find the other cable though :^/

The only way I'm getting $500 out of my drawers is to allow someone else to do the digging.

I wish all phone makers could agree to a single cable standard for both ends and stick with it. Regular USB for the end you plug in to a power source and USB C on the phone end seems to be the most common sense approach.

Then there's apple at the other end of the spectrum, sniffing glue and inventing their own weird cables every time they release a new phone.

Apple is on Type C now...

Oh wow really? I'm surprised they finally listened. I know the EU was trying to pressure them into doing that but didn't think it would go anywhere.

 

[VashHT]

The EU forced them to, it wasn't by choice.

Check out US Mobile. I left Tracfone for them earlier this year and couldn't be happier. Unlimited talk/text and 2GB of data per month for $10/month (taxes/fees included). I'm in the Verizon network, but I think they just added AT&T.

I apparently live in a dictatorship after today's Supreme Clerics' 6-3 ruling. That's gotta qualify as a first world problem.

My problem is that I get very little VZW signal. Some, but not much. And I haven't been able to find a cost effective booster.

TF sent me a VZW Sim card, but I couldn't keep a signal and my battery use went nuts (from 5 or 6 days to less than 3) trying to stay locked in. Almost no LTE so I couldn't browse by phone at all.

That is definitely third world problem.

How so? US and US allies are the first world.

not with that judiciary you ain't. Banana Republic Numero Uno!

 

[SteveGrabowski]

That's literally the definition of what first world means: the US or an ally to the US in the cold war. Nothing mutually exclusive about first world and banana republic.
