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

They will still know by IP address where the phone is. I'm not saying that it won't work but giving fair warning. You also stand the chance of them discontinuing service for excessive roaming. They really, really hate to pay other carriers. *Edit: One thing I forgot to say is that 2FA will...- Hawk256

I retired from AT&T after 30 years, Granted it has been 10 years ago, The eSim is newer but I know the concept. It resides in the phone. In the case of an eSim the US phone will activate fine but when you change the eSim number the one here it will register as not being in the home system and...- Hawk256

Since they are actually the network owners and operators they can possibly do things that the other companies cannot. The other companies called MVNOs just buy time from one of the big 3. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. However Verizon is the odd ball in that they use CDMA and no one else does. I...- Hawk256

eSims don't work like that. Changing the eSim is just like a new activation as far as the phone is concerned. You wouldn't gain anything with that method.- Hawk256

A Community Rejected the Build of a US$100 Billion Data Center
A section of the roof of my house in Indonesia has asbestos roofing. Had a garage in the US that used asbestos siding. As long as you don't cut into it there are no problems. It's the dust that settles in your lungs. With that being said my great grandfather died from complications of working in...- Hawk256
