How much space was left on the original 256GB disk? A common theme i heard about solid state drives was that speed will suffer the more space is used, so idealy you should keep it ~50% free for optimal performance.
Star far away from any "Backpacker cars/vans" type car dealerships or rentals, or brands that have Backpacker, Traveler or Autobarn in their name. They spend a lot of money advertising on social media, via flyers in hostels and with paid articles in all big travel blogs and forums writing advertising how great the company is.
The online reviews on google or yelp look good on the surface, but if you watch them for a while you will notice that any new negative review will disapear within a short time.
Had exerience with them, and the cars overpriced or in a bad condition. In the forums a common theme was that the money from the "buyback scheme" was never paid out, and since the customers at this point already had left the country there was nothing they could do. The other issue here is that the buyback scheme is a scam, where you essentially pay $4000 for a car worth $2000, and at the end you will (allegedly) get $2000 back. You might as well just but the same car from a private seller for $2000 and then give it away at the end of your trip, saving you the hassle.
They can use your wifi signal as a beacon by triangulating the signal strength from at least 3 different points. Then they can figure out in which departments you spend the most time, how long you spend in store, heatmaps, which aisles you skip and generic info like what time you visit, which locations you also shop at.
A quick google for "Retail Wifi tracking" brings up mirame.net , where you can see some of the features.
I would suggest to set your phone to flight mode if you see a "free wifi" sign in your shopping mall.
Would that really help? I remember that each brand had their own custom battery sizes, and it would only sell the remaining stock once the phone was no longer on the store shelf. I only know Nokia had some standard form factor for batteries.
My favorite barber was booked out recently, so I just walked into the next one across the road, which looked new and had no customers inside. Asked for the haircut, and he said sure, what's your name and email address?
I was confused and asked why he would need that, and he said it's for his app to book appointments and charge customers.
Well, but the same is true for brands selling desktops or laptops with windows, where they only make money once on the hardware (and maybe some additional money by installing subscription crapware like mc afee etc.).
The previous satellite internet was more expensive, had much higher ping times and lower transfer Speeds because the satellites where fewer and further away from earth. This mean more people had to share a lower bandwidth. You could use email and some text heavy websites, but bloated news sites with Autoplay ads, video calls or online games not so much...
Maybe she was assembled at a tesla plant? /s
