Comment Re:Hemp? (Score 3, Interesting) 41

I found it curious that they apparently did not even consider the obvious alternative - which as you say is hemp. There is a lot known about turning hemp into paper - even toilet paper - and they seem to be ignoring or oblivious to it. The problem with hemp is the same as the problem with hesperaloe will be - supply. Hemp paper is expensive because the supply of hemp stalks is limited, so it does not scale up to the capacity of wood pulp to create economy of scale price efficiencies.

Similar situation here. We were on United Celluar, then T Mobile bought them, then informed us the phone was too old to be supported.
So fine, we went to spectrum, purchased a new phone and plan there. The phone number was supposed to port to the new phone, but no.
It got lost in the shufffle between United Celluar and T Mobile. It took countless service calls, 3 in person visits to T Mobile and 2 to Spectrum and 16 days of being without a phone for them to get the new phone working with the correct number. We lost 16 days ofincome (gig work) because the phone did not work. I dont think having to do it on an app would help any.

We went to Spectrum 2 days ago to replace my sons oldish phone with a new phone and plan from Spectrum. His old plan was on T-Mobile. We are still waiting for the eSim and phone number to transfer to his new phone. Spectrum says it might take 72 hours. But it appears the problem is likely on T-Mobiles end. I wonder how many others are being held hostage to this situation?

Comment Re:Age verification is a reasonable requirement (Score 1) 170

Age verification is something that has been missing from the 'internet' since its conception. A minor can browse porn or whatever with no age check. You may think that is fine, but you are a minority in that. An age verification should have been put in place with all OSes years ago. If there is not a simple API to report user age to the applications that need it, the bureacrats will ram something more invasive like an internet ID down our throats. And if the OS has no alternative way to supply the basic requirement - age verification - then we have no good argument to prevent something worse being mandated.

Just trying to warn you- it will happen if we dont head it off.
