I don't think you all understand, the T-Mobile CEO has a fiduciary duty to shareholders, which is a responsibility to act in their best interests and their sole interest is making money. If the CEO doesn't turn over every stone to find a way to make money or reduce costs, they're breaking the law.

Oh wait, you all do understand this horseshit better than most. Lemmy is my sane place 🥰

For a moment I thought you were going to say "doing God's work"

Ut! Aurelia Borealis?

Ehh we can and should do better than T9. ...but then the phone might start to become fun to use, drawing you back in... Bring back T9!

They should relocate their headquarters again, just too close to the factory still

I think it's also in reference to people getting fired over zoom. Also, it could be referencing how gen z will record their firings now and post them to tiktok to shame the company, LOL. I love gen z!

Like most of you, my brain ingests random things and chews on them to produce weird nonsensical things, like when I go to the Midwestern US supercenter chain Meijer, I say if it somehow went into deep space, went through a black hole, and returned two hundred years later, it would be known as M'jer.

I think of this every time I'm there.

I think the point of the phrase is to generate outrage to push against it

Later in this thread, someone talked about encountering houses that didn't have numbers on them.

The 30 minutes or it's free deal really became dangerous and was discontinued. Still, learning the city map by heart and combing through unlabeled houses was impressive.

I sort of like the misspellings, feels like more like a creative choice than a failure of the technology

Good old Sony Mavicas 🥲

I'd argue YTP are better produced than what this article is talking about. I love absurdist humor, but this article is not talking about that. I've seen some stupid fucking shit get offered to my child to watch and would prefer her to watch YTPs instead. She's banned from watching YouTube kids by herself.

Yeah, keep them off YT and YT Kids. Jesus, the stupid brain melting human-made videos are worse enough as it is and kids love watching this shit over well-produced content. The only time I allow my kid to watch YT Kids is when I can watch too and it's on my phone. Recently she started watching a video with an anamorphic cat that was pregnant with a Zombie baby. Of course, YT is the one that offered her this content to watch anyway.

If you don't want to supervise what your kids watch, lock down their tablet or computer to only connect to streaming services you pay for. People are paid to produce this much higher quality content and then it is reviewed by people who know what should be acceptable for kids to watch. Compare this to some jackass on YouTube who can make the worst garbage imaginable, with or without the help of AI, and the YouTube algorithm is more than happy to shove it in your child's face. Which would you prefer your child to watch?

And if I were to attempt this, I'd get tickets all the time. It pisses me off seeing these illegal car mods and nothing ever gets done about them. Might as well just take the fucking license plate off, don't have to worry about any repercussions!

Oh, and you forgot the next steps if you wanted it on your computer: Find some one with a scanner and copy it to a floppy disk or wait 10-20 minutes to email it.

Digital cameras were a revelation! They removed those stepsSHIT I FORGOT THE DAMN PROPRIETARY DATA TRANSFER CABLE!

My parents would call people they knew depending on the city they were driving through because it wouldn't be long distance (oh yeah here's one, the scumbag phone companies would charge you more when you weren't calling a local number, meaning within the same county/parrish/borough, usually by the minute). They even did this once they had mobile phones! Imagine nowadays contacting someone because you're going through their city. It's like, "Hey, I like you, but not enough to see if we can meet up for a little visit just to say hi all because the phone call is cheaper."

Also:

Jesus, 10Gbps!? I'm paying $90 for "gigaspeed" AT&T fiber. But, I'm luckier than most, I have AT&T fiber and Metronet as fiber providers, as well as Spectrum and T-Mobile (but yuck to using 5G as my primary source of internet).

They should have named their weapon division "SOB" #missedopportunities
