This is so often true that I would love to read a sociological study on why it is.

xyguy@startrek.websiteOPto Android@lemmy.world•Help! My device is only halfway? unlockedEnglish2·22 天前I’m signing up with us mobile. They support all 3 major carriers.
Its not even a matter of the esim not registering. The menu itself isn’t correct on the Moto. When I hit add esim, before I even try to input anything, its immediately an error screen that says call T Mobile.
I found a very old XDA post that said if I ever unlocked the bootloader on this model phone at any point before the phone was paid off (I did at some point for some reason) it blows a fuse on the phone itself that permanently disables esim functionality. I haven’t been able to verify that anywhere else and also seems illegal.
xyguy@startrek.websiteOPto Android@lemmy.world•Help! My device is only halfway? unlockedEnglish1·22 天前Unfortunately no. I’m no longer a T-Mobile customer. I unlocked my phone after the contract and immediately moved to Verizon with a physical Sim.
Now trying to move to a subcarrier and trying to use an e-sim but it isn’t working.

xyguy@startrek.websitetohomelab@lemmy.ml•first attempt at a homelab, please any adviceEnglish2·2 个月前USB ssds seem to have a lot of weird issues being used for a nas drive. Sometimes its a power management thing on the SSD itself, sometimes its something odd with the USB controller on the host. Occasionally the power supply of the sff pc doesnt have enough amps for all of the peripherals. Using an intermediary like a usb hub makes all of these issues worse since you add another device with its own potential conflicts.
Not to say its not possible to do, but USB drives and NAS’s rarely play nice together.

xyguy@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many people are only still alive because they don't want their suicide hurting others as much as they hurt every day?English25·5 个月前Been there. Reason I didnt is because other people would bear the shit if I did. Im in a much better place at the moment but I felt exactly the way ypu do about the world.
There is a fuckload of propaganda, and a lot of it is meant to make you lose hope at ever seeing the system change. That makes the opinion that things can and might improve and you are going to be a part of it, no matter how small the most radical thing of all.
Genuinely what helped me through it was volunteering. Everything is shit wall to wall BUT this one tiny thing is better than it was because of me. Its a sustaining feeling for sure.
Keep hanging in there for the ones you love, and the ones that love you.

A genuine but shitty attempt at art will always be more valuable and interesting than a soulless replication of the thing its trying to emulate.

I would also like to make a motion as a member of the panel that a critter would not be anything less than half the size of a mouse. Bugs aren’t critters unless they are big spiders for instance but a tiny frog definitely is.
Bees and wasps I dont know.
xyguy@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•In case you've ever wondered why the Windows control panel was so awful...English2·8 个月前Right. Just make a super super good compatibility layer so whatever you have next will be compatible and give up on Windows proper. They can call it Windows 360.
