Comment Cellular internet service limits streaming options (Score 1) 31

I had a friend living in a rural area who was finally able to switch from satellite internet to service from a T-Mobile tower. He was testing out Hulu, but he was running into problems where it kept thinking his location had changed (due to the dynamic IP address). VPN didn't really help since he wanted certain local stations, and the VPN city choices were all far away. He ended up going with YouTube TV.

According to the TM 5G Home Internet FAQ: "Streaming services that rely on IP address for specific location data to deliver live TV are not compatible with T-Mobile Home Internet. This includes Hulu Live and Sling Live TV. YouTube TV supports required location data, and will work seamlessly with T-Mobile Internet."

Err...iPhones have had that voice mail transcribe to text for a long time, pretty much I think since the 1st or 2nd iPhone model?

I think they coined the term "visual voicemail" for this?

You are confusing Visual Voicemail with Voicemail transcription. Visual Voicemail means you don't have to dial your voicemail then press buttons like 1 to replay message 2 to skip to next message, etc.; instead, you get see a list of the voicemails showing who they are from, time left, and message duration. Then you can cherry-pick a message to listen to.

Voicemail transcription, on the other hand lets you read the message without having to listen to it. This is especially useful when you have old relatives who like to leave two-minute-long messages....

I've really disappointed there isn't any "I am Satoshi Nakamoto" option!
Although the poll appears to ask a simple yes/no question, if you misplace your private keys, do you "own" Bitcoin, philosophically speaking?

There are entire sites dedicated to everyday carry (EDC) with some sites focused on flashlights, knives, Atwood tools, etc. You can spend a lot of time and money on EDC "research" :-)
