RedEyeFlightControl , 4 days ago to Technology in FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days

It was active for about 3 months, until she broke the screen. I replaced her device and put the phone on the shelf. I replaced the screen and digitizer a year later when I needed a spare handset and they told me "it had never been on network" and was ineligible for being unlocked. Which is bullshit because the phone was bought and paid for at the time I purchased it in a box at the store with a prepaid card. As far as I'm concerned, straight talk still owes me 200$. Even if the phone was NEVER activated, I still own it outright, making it mine to do with what I please.

Not always true, I bought a smart talk phone for my kid and the phone was paid in full at the time of purchase. It's still carrier locked 5 years later because they say "it wasn't in service for x amount of time and therefore isn't eligible". I even reported this to the FCC, opened a case, and they did fuckall and closed the report.

They're probably still bolting the loose panels back on.

Would you want to ride in that Boeing rattletrap? I wouldn't.

Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It's fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.

RedEyeFlightControl , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in What is the weirdest flavoured thing you've had?

I'd eat it again. It was good. Just weird.

RedEyeFlightControl , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in What is the weirdest flavoured thing you've had?

Thing with the weirdest flavor, or flavor of the weirdest thing?

Thing with the weirdest flavor: Durian. Fucking gross. Ate it by accident (was in a dish I ordered). It tasted exactly like papaya or mango soaked in mop bucket water for 2 days.

Flavor of the weirdest thing: Probably Escargot. That was garlic and snail flavored.

RedEyeFlightControl , 4 months ago to Technology in Apple cancels Apple Car project after more than a decade

Yes. That would be in the past, making it foreshadowing.

Their success with apple maps / navigation foreshadowed this event. They couldn't even figure that out.

RedEyeFlightControl , 5 months ago to science in Membrane-Free Green Hydrogen To Chase The Fossil Fuel Blues Away

I seriously doubt hydrogen will be a viable long term fuel source outside of very specific applications.

Even with the best production methods, we still can't store it well long term. It causes embrittlement and corrosion to metals, and since the atoms are about as small as atoms get, it's very hard to contain in a pressure vessel without leaks or metal impregnation. Making it and using it aren't the big issue. Storage is.
