Youth is wasted on the young.

 

Maybe we should age like Orkans instead.

Having years on you is not fair, how so? I wish I was still your age, means I would still be in school and not have to worry about bills and work.

I'm not sure if you are referring to me. If so, I'm in school and I still worry about work and bills. Everything is subject to your own experiences. Honestly I can't wait to be done with school and have my degree and all of this behind me. It's too much for just one person to deal with, IMO.

I was actually referring to Rukin. He said he is 21 years old. When I was 21 I didn't have much to worry about. It is true that experiences will vary on the individual. I had significant help from my parents. Started my career at age 23, been on my own since. (I'm 26)

i've seen 5 inch floppies, they are huge, but the 3 inch ones are the ones I used.

 

That's what she said!

 

(Just submitting proof that while I'm an old 40+ fart, I do still keep up with some of the more youthful hipster trends)

 

(Also, I'm ashamed of AJ, he should have picked up on that long before me since this is the first time I've even read this thread)

He's right though, i've seen 5 inch floppies, they are huge, but the 3 inch ones are the ones I used.

If you are 5 inches while still "floppy," that is none too shabby.

 

:P

ok I have a potential newb question. What 'frequency latitude' do cell phone antenna have? The reason I ask is I am curious with the advent of the qualcomm rf360 what the potential is for 'flashing' a sprint phone with that front end chip to say a verizon or the other way. In theory the chip would support it, but how close would the frequencies need to be assuming it could be tricked into switching. I assume the presence of three antenna (in addition to BT \ wifi etc) for cell service relates to the bands meaning the antenna have some limits or just to allow multiple transmissions at once. I could be entirely wrong as well!! 

 

I do miss the good old days with quad band phones that you could pretty much get on ans gsm network in the world and a few 'worldphones' that could do virtually any network. 

 

And sadly I do remember 5 1/4 inch floppies (they were actually floppy unlike the 3 1/2 inchers), I also used reel to reel tape drives which had somewhere around 120mb of capacity, although thats less to do with my age and more to do with the tightness of my employer at the time :) They did have a wolfcreek though, that was a shiny toy and amusing to watch at full speed.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
