You May Still Get a PC With Old Price
Stack Social is legit and has great deals on software from time to time. Bought my lifetime subscription for VPN through their site many years ago. Also bought a lifetime unlimited mobile backup solution through them as well.- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
If they charge the same as here (~150,000 per) it's not like they get rich by telling you they need cleaning. After over a year and a half, I imagine they need some attention.- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
In my experience, (which means nothing to a certain member) I had a standard unit for 10 years. The outside coil was cleaned every 6 months along with the inside coil. Never had a cooling problem related to a dirty coil. Put in a new inverter system and within 4 months it isn't cooling properly...- Hawk256

Of course you disagree. Daikin service must not know what they are talking about.- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
Seeing as how the outdoor fan runs constantly on an inverter instead of turning on and off like a standard, it makes sense that an inverter unit will need to be cleaned more often since it pulls more air through the coils.- Hawk256

Inverter AC and cleaning schedule
Just thoughI would make this post if anyone is considering an inverter AC. I have one AC that runs pretty much 24/7 365. It only gets turned off if I leave for a few days. It needed replacing so I decided to put in a Daikin Inverter. Everyone around me was very against getting the inverter but I...- Hawk256

Glamorous Governor: But looks could be deceptive
Most either get rich (or richer) from being in office and/or got into office because they were rich. At least she seems to be doing some good.- Hawk256

Echo chambers and safe spaces
Has the internet got to the point that someone must be in an echo chamber? If someone has different experiences or ideas they lose their mind and become uncivil. What happened to just disagreeing and moving on? Now things get personal and people get into name calling as a reaction to differing...- Hawk256

I would agree 1,000 pounds per minute or 48,000 pounds for a day just might be considered a tad high. Like real people couldn't pay high. And this is the norm there? $50 a week would be an average roaming bill in the US for light usage. But my 30 years means nothing.- Hawk256

I question why you are so concerned about me. I worked in the industry for 30 years and helped negotiate roaming agreements. I speak for the US and US customers. If the EU is still charging like that then they are the crooks. You should be mad at them, not me. Maybe there was mistake in billing...- Hawk256

I think that is very exaggerated or outdated TBH. I roam a lot and never have charges like that even with some light to moderate usage. Either that or your provider is ruthless. I used to help negotiate roaming agreements and I remember the days of $3 US per day and $1 US per minute to use your...- Hawk256

How about having someone send you good picture of your drivers license, resize to about the original DL size and then scan that with the phone? Nothing to lose at this point.- Hawk256

A lot of 2FA are SMS. That will require active service since they are sent out on the cellular network. Having roaming off will not work. If the bank sends a push notification to your app it will deliver over wifi though.- Hawk256

Seems like things haven't changed since my days. I think you will find this to be the case with all carriers. I still think I would contact AT&T and T-Mobile directly just to double check. All you have to lose is a little time.- Hawk256
