T-Mobile postpaid customers can now add Protection 360 insurance to their devices at any time, and not just within 30 days of purchase.
I do this and I use Proton as my email provider. I think as long as you set the email security standards, which Proton, for example, teaches you how to do, you should be fine.
From what I understand, silent payments only gives the sender the ability to generate addresses that the receiver can pull Bitcoin from. So it protects the receiver, but it does not protect the sender and it does not protect the amounts. This is a step in the right direction for Bitcoin, but it's still nothing compared to Monero.
Edit: Instead of having the receiver manually have to give you a new address that's fresh every single time you want to pay them. This automatically can generate new addresses to pay them without their input.
Started using Linux in 2010 on a virtual machine on a Windows XP machine that was really not meant to run it and it was God awful. But I knew that it was the virtual machine not Linux itself. After that I was using my laptop for school and a Windows update completely broke it and I absolutely had to use it for the next class that I was going to in like five minutes and I had a flash drive with a live Linux environment already on it and so I just used that. However, once I was done with class that day, my first thought was why should I even go in and attempt to fix this Windows machine when Linux has been working fine for me all day. And so I just went ahead and wiped the disk and ran the installer. And I've been using Linux ever since. I do generally keep a Windows virtual machine around, just in case, but it's extremely rare that I've ever needed to use it.
I mostly follow the Dave Ramsey every dollar plan. So I have my budget worked out in such a way that once I'm done paying everything and moving money around, my bank account has like $5 in it that's just there to absorb any weird charges I might forget about. It doesn't normally happen, but it helps to have it just for that reason. I also have a specific amount that I put into my savings every month and the vast majority of my money I take out of the fiat system entirely every single month.
It is definitely possible to place rent some places with crypto. Any that will accept a debit card at least. As far as the credit card bill you could be right about that one. Credit card bills, car payments, and mortgages are the hardest ones to deal with since they are direct bank withdrawals.
Sorry, its pixelfed. I corrected the original comment, but wanted to make sure that you knew there was a misspelling.
Why insta and not pixelfed?
I personally don't have a PDF reader since Firefox can open them and so can Fossify Files
Following its recent win in Ookla’s 5G Speed Test, T-Mobile added a new win for its 5G network. Today, the Un-carrier announced the results of Opensignal’s latest USA Mobile Network Experience report where it ranked first for all overall network experience. Additionally, T-Mobile also won the report...
None that I'm aware of. I guess it's possible, but I have not seen it be the case yet.
Edit: I can tell you for a fact that the ones I'm listing are legitimate. And if you don't believe me, try purchasing one with the multi-signature escrow.
I've been involved in crypto since like 2013 or 2014 and the most common thing that I buy with crypto is my groceries.
I got some oceanfront property in Arizona. I'd be glad to sell you.
It's also used to buy baking pans, dove soap, coffee makers, and toasters. Xmrbazaar.com
Firefox gets tons of funding from Google, and their code is quite frankly humongous. From what I understand, it's extremely hard to get the gecko web view engine to work. In another browser, unless it's a fork of Firefox, unlike Chromium where you can just redesign an entire browser around it.
T Mobile is legally pursuing the Wanaque planning board for illegally stopping the cell tower operation by rejecting the building application
I highly suggest clicking the link to the cross post and reading it as those comments are super good.
Fair enough, there's some really golden information in this thread.
What about those military things that they use to disperse crowds? Where it makes you feel like your skin is cooking, but it's actually not. I feel like that uses high power and high frequency radio waves to accomplish that.
The higher the frequency, the worse that is. So standing very close to an HF antenna that only broadcasts up to like say 30 megahertz is different than standing next to a 700 megahertz cell phone antenna, which is different from standing next to a 2.5 gigahertz cell phone antenna. The reasoning for that is due to power levels and wavelength of the radio signal itself.
You know, that's a good point. I didn't even think of that. But you're right.
Mind crossposting this to !t_mobile@lemmy.ml?
Also, they will lose. The FCC has said that the companies can build towers where they are needed for coverage. They might have to make it look like a tree or something, but they cannot be rejected from building it.
The FCC has proposed a new rule that would require all carriers to unlock all phones within 60 days of activation.
Update June 26, 2024 (8:25 PM ET): T-Mobile has responded to our request for comment and shared that the change in its bill credits policy is not happening until Monday, July 1st. It will be applied to new device promotion enrollments that take place from that date. The original article is below. Th...
Title. I use Firefox Focus because it's easy to clear history by just hitting the Delete button and it saves very little to no information on app exit. I know the Duck Duck Go privacy browser does this as well, but it's more of a full-fledged browser with bookmarks and everything else. Where I'm just looking for something super lightweight and quick.
I just got an update from the Guardian project here recently for the Tor Browser version 13.5 on Android. Before, there always used to be a notification in the notification tray that would say the download and upload speed and have a new identity button to switch circuits if one was lagging. But I do not see that anymore. So how do I change circuits now without completely closing the browser and reopening it which would be a total pain in the ass?
A court dispute has ensnared potentially millions of Americans, leaving them without access to their money for nearly two weeks.
They are keeping this quiet, but this affects 2.9% of US bank customers.
A threat actor is claiming to have hacked T-Mobile and is offering the stolen data for sale. In response to this, the Un-carrier said that its systems “have not been compromised.” The wireless carrier sent a statement to Bleeping Computer and shared that they are “actively investigating a claim of a...
Back in April, T-Mobile planned to rollout its Home Internet address verification in May. But at the last minute, they postponed it to a later date. Unfortunately, the Un-carrier has finally decided on a date when to rollout address verification for Home Internet service. Now that the Away plan has...
T-Mobile’s latest move is sure to gain negative attention from its avid subscribers. And for many, this just might be the final nail in the coffin to entice them to switch to another carrier. As spotted in an internal document obtained by The Mobile Report, the Un-carrier is preparing to change its...
T-Mobile raised 5G home internet services in January.
I can't seem to find an actual currency estimate of how much privacy is actually worth. I see a ton of articles talking about why privacy should be worth more to people or what people would pay for privacy services or how much people would sell their privacy for, but I don't see anything that gives a value for the privacy industrial complex, so to speak. Like if you take every company and non-profit and everything else and throw it all together, how much is the privacy industry actually worth?
Edit: It's worth at least $2.8 billion US dollars because that is the market cap on average of the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero.
Edit 2: If you put Monero, Zcash, and Dash together, you come up with $3.4 billion US dollars.
Edit 3: All the above plus Signal, Proton and EFF bring it up to 3.5 billion.
The company also revealed that it's running Bitcoin and Lightning network nodes.
"That’s why, while almost no one pays for coffee with bitcoin, many use the privacy coin monero (XMR) to buy this or that"

T-Mobile announced that it was chosen as a wireless solutions provider by the U.S. Department of the Navy as part of the $2.67 billion Spiral 4 contract.
At least one customer unhappy with T-Mobile's recent price hikes has taken his frustration to the FCC, and despite the carrier's "respectful request", said customer seems to have no intention to "close" their complaint.

> There's a lot of talk about inflation and its causes. Is it corporate greed? Supply chain issues? One clear base cause of inflation less talked about is having an inflationary currency supply. Any other inflation caused by supply chain issues, corporate greed, lack of market competition, etc is just added on top of that. Fiat inflationary currency is a rather new invention in terms of the human timeline. In the US, Nixon is the start of it. Central banks aim for 2-3% inflation in "good years". The money supply expands, the portion of that supply a single dollar represents, and therefore its value, decreases. This isn't a conspiracy, it's government policy, and both parties gleefully support it because it benefits their rich donors. > > Think of it: in the last 50 years, everything has gotten cheaper to produce thanks to increasing mechanization, outsourcing to cheap labor/low regulation countries, and extremely efficient supply chains. Yet so many things "cost more" than they did 50 years ago. Even basics like bread. What used to be 5c in the US in the 50s now costs $5.00. How is that the case? Shouldn't it cost less? Where is that "extra efficiency" going if not to lower prices? The answer: bread is the same value it's always been, the money has gotten less valuable. This is how they keep working class people running on a treadmill, never able to achieve economic mobility. > > Inflationary currency devalues the currency you worked hard to earn by increasing the supply. It hits the middle class the worst because they have more of their net wealth in cash, often in the form of emergency funds, savings, and putting together enough money for a down payment on a home. Rich people have their money in assets which aren't harmed by currency inflation. Actually, even worse, it inflates the value of those assets! If the dollar loses value (all other things being equal), it takes more dollar to buy a share in Amazon, just like it takes more dollars to buy a loaf of bread. Poor people live hand to mouth, so their net wealth is not impacted much, but inflationary currency prevents them from saving and "moving up". If you want to identify the causes of increasing wealth disparity, the inability of people to save money and theft of value from the middle class via money supply expansion is a major one. >
