It’s not 1/3 of millennials don’t believe the world is flat… That’s a statistic brought up from someones rear end. Ironically if you look at a lot of YouTube videos for example a lot of them are older than 40 which would make them “boomers” showing evidence to why the earth is flat. Ironically show me where people have died from masks? More people in history has been saved from vaccines than have died from it by billions. A poll in 2018 (YouGov) stated, “Just 66 percent of millennials firmly believe that the Earth is round,” with the other 33% basically either believing the world is flat or they aren’t sure. Those results suddenly popped up everywhere, including Forbes. There was and still is a lot of controversy over what the poll results really meant and how accurately they reflect reality. Some say that maybe more like 85% of millennials believe the world is round and the other 15% that it is flat or are not sure, but it still seems like a very large number may actually believe
Who knows maybe the next pandemic will only be those who were vaccinated. I've had covid 3 times, my natural immunity should say something. The fact that people are so willing to separate themselves over something with over 99% success rate just blows my mind. Do a little bit of research and stop watching the news. Have a good night. You don’t have to tell others to do their research. Most everyone has done research on the subject, a lot of times very in depth research. But even then people come to completely opposite conclusioins. Which is the point, our species is hopeless.I’m not going to try to prove one side or the other. But it’s ironic that we as a society can do so many technological things and supposedly understand so much and yet be so divided on what should be a straight forward topic. How did we get here? Everyone accuses the other side of believing lies. Everyone claims to have huge amounts of evidence supporting their way of thinking. But unless mankind can work toget
I wonder how the next pandemic will turn out. With so many people in complete opposition to each other over such a simple thing I wonder if the next pandemic will wipe out all the nay-sayers or if it will just start a global civil war in each country.
I think people have the right to choose whether they want to get vaccined or not, but I also feel companies should have a certain degree of say in what their employees should have to do. There are companies I will never go to ever again because their employees did not take the virus seriously. There are many companies who just allow anyone work there under the excuse that otherwise they’d be “discriminating” if they did. Meanwhile, people who I know have gone to work at restaurants with Covid and other infectious deseases. In others, employees without masks have come right up to my face “to ask if I needed help” simply to spite me since I did have a mask. And now they wonder why I’ll never go back to them even though I feel the pandemic is under control now and no longer feel threatened by it even in public without a mask.So if T-Mobile were the exact opposite and didn’t care a fig if their employees were vaccinated or used mases, I would never walk into a T-Mobile store because compan
My first cellphone I got in 2005 (maybe 2006) was a T-Mobile Prepaid phone. We stayed with prepay and simple phones for my wife and I until Wi-Fi calling came out on T-Mobile. And since we were Nokia fans our first smartphones were Nokia Lumias. We stayed with Windows phones Windows phone lost support. So I tried a couple Android phones, but ended up going with a ZTE Cymbal Z-320 flip phone. My wife uses a Google Pixel 4a.
Update:The past few weeks I’ve been using a ZTE Cymbal Z-320 which thankfully has FM radio. This is so much handier in my case. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the Pixel 4a I’m still paying for, but maybe I’ll sell it and pay off the debt with the earnings.
I have been with Tmobile for a couple of years now. I thought the merger between T mobile and Sprint would help with coverage and reception but it has not. I work remotely since the pandemic began in 2020 and I have struggled with T mobile’s wireless service and they do not seem to be concerned or offer other options to help. My family and I will be switching back to Verizon the higher bill is worth reliable service. I agree that if in your area there isn’t good T-Mobile coverage, you’re better off with another carrier that does have better coverage. And this principle works vice versa in an area where T-Mobile has good covereage and others do not.One thing though to keep in mind is if you’re like me and buy old used phones. I find that older phones do not have all the newer T-Mobile bands. So there have been times there is great coverage in an area but I don’t get any of it because of my phone choice.
Ya, service isn’t always the same. I’ve been places where T-Mobile didn’t work, but Verizon did. But I’ve also been places that Verizon didn’t provide service but T-Mobile did.Have you considered using Wi-Fi calling of T-Mobiles CellSpot? I got the CellSpot and now have full bars anywhere I go in my house, compared to 0 to 1 bars before I got the CellSpot.
I got the same message. I’m on a 2GB plan. (Which century did you get the 30MB plan from?)Anyhow, it looks like it’s exactly what it says. T-Mobile is giving us a free 5G unlimited upgrade. You don’t have to do anything, you just get 5G speeds with no limit, except for only 6GB of tethered data at 5G speeds. Of course we’ll need a 5G device and live where there’s 5G service to actually get 5G speeds. I only have 4G phones on all 4 lines. But it’s a really nice bonus from T-Mobile! And at the same price ($100 for 4 lines for me). I‘m not complaining!If you change plans then you lose your current price and could lose the 5G unlimited service, depending on what plan you get and what T-Mobile is offering.
@syaoran Ya, I tried those FM apps. Apparently Google has FM completely disabled on their Pixel phones including the 3a XL and 4a. Or at least on the 4a, the phone I use. It looks like some Samsung, Motorola, Nokia and others still have the FM capability with the right app.@itdefbechill Do you use your phone for gaming? I don’t game on my phone and also don’t see the point in having such specs on a phone for me personally. To me that’s like having a Ferrari that can do 180mph (or whatever Ferrari’s do) when all I need is a daily driver to get me to and from work over 25-35mph streets.Speaking of cars, I don’t spend much time in my car. My line of work requires lots of walking. No time to run all the way back out to the car and listen to the radio. At times I also bike to work and haven’t quite gotten around to fitting an alternator onto my bike to run an FM car radio. I also NEED a headphone jack, not just for FM capability, but because I don’t trust myself with a pair of earbuds that
Why not just buy a fm radio, they are dirt cheap. I just bought a lg boom for 100 bucks. You could buy a even cheaper one. Amazon had one for 20 dollars. Why would you want a old garbage phone that is slow, has security leaks, will never be updated, no oled, for a 20 dollar radio. Because I don’t want to carry around two devices that could be one. I already have enough stuff in my pockets as it is. Wallet, phone, keys, and now a radio… That’s more pocket bulge and another device to keep track of.What will almost certainly happen is that I’d end up going through all the trouble of carrying this device around for in case of emergency and the day I forget to grab it or I lose it or I just get plane sick of carrying it around will be the day I need it.Sure, having a smartphone with all it’s nice modern features is, well, nice. But the main reason for having a phone IMO is for safety. I want to be able to call someone if I have a flat tire, if my kid gets injured and needs an ambulan
The G3 ended up inheriting the screen problems my Wife’s G3 had. So apprently it’s something wrong with the motherboard. Basically it stays on for about a minute and then fades black. After that it will on stay on for a few seconds.I had a bid on a Pixel 3A on eBay that was still $100 up until 3 seconds from the end and it jumped to $170 just like that! So I guess I’m back at square one again.
Well I got some good news. While I research the Pixel 4a a bit more I just popped out my wife’s old LG G3’s mother board and popped it into my LG G3 and so far it’s working just fine.I also may have found a good Pixel 3a for $100.
You’re awesom @snn_555 ! Any reason I’d have a problem with an unlocked phone? It seems like in the past that you had to get a T-Mobile phone for stuff like Wi-Fi calling to work.
The 4a is available for pre-order from Google now. I wouldnt mess with replacing parts. I have a $100 bid on a 3a on Ebay. If that doesn’t go through I’ll either buy a used 3a for up to $200 or get a 4a.The only problem with the 4a is it says “pre-order” and I understand that that could mean it will take time to come in. Is that correct? I can’t seem to find how long it will take to get one. I could go without a phone for a week, or maybe even two. But if it takes a month or so to get it, I’m not going to be happy.I do have an old Alcatel Windows phone lying around I could see if it still works I guess while I wait.
Thanks! I’ll have to check out the 4a. I didn’t see it available. I would pay full price for a 4a since it’s this year’s phone and $50 cheaper than the 3a was.I was looking at used 3a’s for under $200. However, there is a certain piece of mind in having a new phone with a warrenty. When my LG G3 stops working there’s no hope except to try to resurrect it myself. I do have my wife’s old LG G3 with a bad screen. I thought about taking the motherboard from one and putting it into the other and trying to see if it would work. But then again, who knows how long until the thing just up and quites for seemingly no reason.When my wife’s brand new Pixel 3a XL had an audio problem that never went away, we called in, boxed it up and traded it in for a working one under the warrenty.Not that I’m against the idea of keeping a phone for a long time. I have maintained this LG G3 for years. I hate having a throw away society. I think that’s what I like about the G3’s replaceable battery; is that it’s
I think I’m going to go for a used Google Pixel 3a for about the same price. My Wife really likes her Pixel 3a XL.
