I have Verizon. When I turn on my hotspot, it comes up with a message saying checking subscription status, and then after that it will allow me to use my hotspot. Last week they apparently were doing an “update” that they didn’t let anyone know about that killed the service for the entire day. That sucks when you really plan on having your hotspot.

I’d rather not because then all the trolls will come here and it will turn into R2.0

Pester me and I’m done with you. I don’t care. App quits working because I didn’t upgrade it and your reason is “improvements”, goodbye.

Amd did that back in the day. All the chips were the same but locked out. You could scrape and use a pencil to draw in a jumper and make your chip the flagship one.

If they put the premium shit in the car and software locked it out, fuck them. It’s part of the car I paid for, I’ll do whatever the fuck I want with it. Don’t like it? Don’t put the premium shit in a base model.

Neither will Windows, yet. It won’t be long before they start telling you what you’re allowed to do, for your own benefit of course.

11 years. Fuck spez
