So far their manufacturing and progress videos are quite impressive. The fact there's 25-50+ basically production-ready prototypes if not more now driving around their factory and doing testing compared to most of the other vaporware companies out there has me holding out strong.

(How many Elios are out there doing testing? How many TELOs? Oof.)

Pepperidge Farm remembers the $19,995 MSRP Ford Maverick with its standard hybrid drivetrain. Missed my chance to buy one, watched the price bloat out and nope.

you may need to look into NTEP approval before this is being used for legal trade... dimensioning is a big deal.

Some of the LTE tablets even powered up and put you into a walled garden with data (heh, DNS tunneling worked out of it) to let you sign up for a mobile plan out of the box.

When I did some activations with PagePlus with an actual dealer-level account, it cost me nothing to activate a 'customer' handset and the only info I had to provide on the activation screens was the phone's serial number and the requested ZIP/area code for activation.

And fine, okay, the FCC will force American telecoms to require IDs, but nothing's stoping Redtea Mobile's foreign eSIMs from roaming into the US for data connections. You're just one eSIM global roaming provider away from bypassing all of it!

I wonder what we'd call the children today in hindsight and what line they're chasing now...

Apparently they've been rebuilding full "new" N95s and other Nokia fare from old motherboards and new spares/knockoff parts. It's like a new legitimate knockoff from the grey market? They've even got things like 'refurbed' N900s...

Mine came with a text message still in the inbox from testing it with a test SMS on China Mobile in 2025 - so even the modem works!

I'll have to give this a shot on my own N95.

"By default, when a user is deleted, the user's manager is automatically given access to the user's OneDrive"

Seems like it should be enough time to firesale the data out you need as a manager.

Unless you're inside Fortnite, where Epic takes a 63% cut of any 'in game item' you sell, and you don't have a choice of storefront inside the game.

Rules for me, but not for thee, so sayeth Timmy Tencent as he collects his next ten cents of revenue from a twelve year old.

Turns out they made a little more than just a few piddly guns...

I did this and was immediately closed for "crowdfunding" by Stripe :)

Lovely company. Paypal dumped me with no explanation, and Stripe tells me to just straight fuck off and now I'm disconnected from accepting most payments. Glad it wasn't my livelihood or anything :)

It was never disclosed it was AI, I submitted a support query with a company, got a suspiciously fast response back, didn't realize it was A Robot, a month later got harmed and was told in response "the robot gave you a bad answer and was coached, sorry, sucks to be you".

"Coached." The only recourse I get is being told a robot was told it was wrong. That's it. No actual solution for me.

I get screwed and the AI keeps getting paid.

I'm glad people can shove hundreds and thousands into these products while people like me in the blue collar rat race get screwed again and again.

(Or Memorex electric scooters. That's also an 'okay then...' license...)

I think they may have scaled back from this, but they were running a 100% malware-style playbook to hit the Tiktok servers like it was some kinda sketchy C2 package. Lots of attempts of their own DoH (and DoT!) and normal DNS servers to try to get into the Tiktok network.

And then COVID happened... and man that response was just so sadly different. If only... if only.

Every online service I've used has been flawless, from streaming media to cloud gaming, and I'm in a fully wireless house with a single Ruckus AP covering it all.

I've seen over a thousand+ devices being covered by a 2Gbps pipe on a large network and not even saturate the link even during peak - and they were throttled to 150mbps per device.

... they only seemed to put a sign on it to say 'stop defaulting it' yet did zero oversight, so I'd just keep on walking over to the printer next to it, reset it, and keep on trucking.

Getting a CR48 from the Google Chromebook pilot program was my next trick to defeat their WRT shenanigans - that 200mb of free 3G every month actually went a long way back then in the halls, and a McJob paid for the rest of the wireless freedom ;)
