I guess with all things, depends on the financial position of the customer.
If you're stretching yourself to get any phone, then yeah, diminishing returns for forking out $800+ for a flagship.
That being said I've owned multiple phones in each price category, and can say that the best phones are unfortunately among the most expensive.
Two things:
see if your power provider offers an "equal pay" plan, where your payments are normalized over 12 months. This provides consistency.
Budget Budget Budget! Keep track of your monthly income and expenses, and plug this equal pay into it.
Often times your power company will let you do equal pay before having 12 months of usage history.
The one thing is that if you use more than you're paying for, you have to pay the overage at the end of the 12-month cycle, AND your payments increase. So, don't get used to leaving all the lights on!
On the flip side, if you use less, you'll either get a refund or accumulate credits which will lower your next year's payments.
Actually, in 2022 there were 94m barrels produced globally per day. So this is 2%. Statistically, not insignificant. Hopefully it'll continue to grow rapidly.
I might be mistaken then, but doesn't part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can't throttle unlimited plans?
I used the phone app and started a chat. Here's what I asked, and their response:
I just replied this to another commenter, but that's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.
That's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Pedophiles is an admonishment of illegal evil.
Your inclusion of Republicans is a bit of an extreme juxtaposition. Feel free to admonish the individual evil views of Republicans, but to discriminate against Republicans purely for their association is rightly against ToS.
T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.
I'm not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they're definitely more expensive. And I wouldn't be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.
You need to opt out of the transition.
In my opinion this is actually better than the CoC. The only thing "missing" is the definition of which qualities you shouldn't discriminate against. But that's now generalized into "groups of people".
I still can't discriminate against people based on any qualification. Hell, I technically can't discriminate against "pineapple on pizza eaters".
My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The "Power" button by default does:
In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.
The word "radiation" has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean "TOXIC MAGIC AIR". Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).
In this case they're 100% just reducing the gain on the phone's signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.
Plus, you can set the speed to 1.5x and catch up to live, if you want.
