    Basic dumb phone for a kid

    A quick glance over on Reddit indicates someone using this phone with Mint Mobile. Others said US Mobile (on the TMO network) YMMV

    Basic dumb phone for a kid

    Reach out to the seller on Amazon. Maybe they can give you an example IEMI that matches the phone. Or, just ask if the IEMI is on the box. If it is, order it, run it through one of the checkers and if it doesn't pass, return the phone. This is really a question for the seller or...

    2009 Pontiac Vibe, Big Block

    I suggest you steer clear of the Robot Cantina YouTube channel as Jimbo throws around terms like "big block" and "hemi" when talking about Harbor Freight engines. He must be retired as he has time to fritter away on fitting 420cc HF engines in Saturn and Honda Insight rollers. His current...

    Ever climb into the wrong car by mistake?

    Years ago, probably 1998 or 1999, I had a Ford Contour as a rental car. There was an identical car in the hotel parking lot. My key opened the car. Of course, about the same time the "owner" came out (it was also a rental) and asked what I was doing. We swapped stories and I asked him to see...

    New-ish Maytag washing machine from 2018 is already dead

    Our Maytag front load of the same vintage is on the way out. It's likely the control board and those are $250 to DIY. I just ordered a replacement machine as oilBabe is not really a fan of the front loader. We may have a bit more time without ours. I think we got it in 2017 maybe 2018...

    What is your Mobile Device speed?

    And yet it was the fastest ping time of the three tests I did. To be fair, I should have run three tests of each and provided the average values. But, the Mint Mobile account has a data cap and I didn't want to use 10-20% of my monthly allowance for the test. Visible+ and my work provided...

    What is your Mobile Device speed?

    Certainly. I was sitting in a Starbucks waiting on someone, so I thought I'd take a snapshot of what I had on three different wireless networks at the place and time. I didn't have my wife's Boost Infinite (Dish Network) device to run a test on their network. I was just curious. I was...

    Tire antitrust class action suit

    Indeed. If you look at their policy, when they want to cool down the economy, they start removing money from the system by increasing interest rates, essentially making money more expensive. The theory is money is created when it's loaned and "destroyed" when those loans are paid off. There...

    Tire antitrust class action suit

    Exactly (sarcasm) If you do the math, the extra money pumped into the economy in 2020 and 2021 when viewed as a percentage of GDP tracks pretty closely with inflation during that period. Not exactly, as there were other factors. But this one seems to go hand-in-hand. I won't say any more out...

    Reliability of your home "wired" wifi service.

    Oh, they were all on AT&T. The AT&T crew working in the back yard. The AT&T outage for the network changes and the residential gateway provided by AT&T. But yes, still impressive.

    Reliability of your home "wired" wifi service.

    AT&T Fiber to my home for the past 16 years. I think I've had 3 outages, one caused by the field techs working on the neighbor's service and knocking out mine. I caught them before they left and they fixed what they broke, LOL. I had a residential gateway fail and they had to send me a...

    The Solar Eclipse & The Path to Totality

    I am fortunate that I live near Carbondale, IL, the intersection of totality of the 2017 and 2024 events. I'll be out to see it, but not sure I'll drive far enough to get to totality. It's "close enough" at my home, so I'll probably just go outside, with my eclipse shades and look up provided...

    Transferring Music Files To USB: Why So Slow

    Yet this application is perfect for such drives. Copying music you are going to listen to in the car is a great use for questionable thumb drives. If the drive fails, the music is still on the computer. I've had a few fail read-only in the past 6 months as well as an SSD. Except these had...
