So....  Is anyone having success with their NCAA Tournament Bracket?  I was 13 for 16 on day one. 

 

I was 1 for 1 (Northwestern over Vanderbilt).  Go Cats!

 

(Yeah, I know round 2 doesn't look so rosy.)

Totally off topic, but 252 MB for Messenger?!?!? What the hell is Facebook stuffing the app with??? That's ridiculous.

More stuff to invade your privacy in new and innovative ways.

On iOS both FB and Messenger are close to 400mb combined.

 

For what it is -- it seems like extreme bloat.

 

Though if it was added bloat to spy -- it wouldn't be that thick. Malware is typically very thin.

You can put anything in the Facebook column as adware, and is only going to get even more bloated, and your battery life will shrink.

My wife is on Messenger all of the time.  The batteries for both of her iPhone and iPad use a tremendous amount of battery power for this app.  We keep two chargers in the kitchen and they are constantly plugged in.  I use Messenger maybe once a month and then it is only a quick reply.

This program seemed like a very expensive way to get a customer Add or Upgrade done.

 

How did this ever make sense to do?

When Direct2U came out, they were willing to deliver a device to me over a 200 mile round trip from Houston. That's crazy! I just don't see how they can pay for car fleet, fuel costs, and hours traveled just to deliver a single phone to the boonies. I can't see how this was helping their bottom line as FedEx and a DVD could have done the same thing with a fraction of the costs.

Who's on the hook for all the vehicles purchased for the program?

That could be been put into the network... Oh and so could that Tidal money... Sprint doesn't get the money thing, they just don't.

Saying something like that is short sighted... if you don't try to innovate then you'll be stuck in the same business model forever. In that same article AT&T said a similar service is working well for them - so it isn't money wasted...its just not the kind of return on investment Sprint needs at the moment.

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
