Worse yet, it was his own grandchildren.

So as far as I can tell, this dude got screwed: Inexplicably Lenovo appears to still be selling an entry-level tablet from 2018 on Amazon.

Don't bother getting a new budget phone. Pick up a higher end used one and then just put your sim card into it. Sites like Swappa are a great place to get a legitimate used phone in good condition.

Locked phones can ONLY be used on the carrier they're tied to. You cannot take a locked phone to another carrier, or to another country (other than with expensive international roaming plans on the original carrier). Depending on the carrier, they may be able to become "carrier unlockable" after some time period, but that's not always the case, and that doesn't entirely free you. Almost all locked phones (everything other than iPhones and Pixels) will also have their updates "certified" by the carrier, meaning that whichever carrier the phone was originally tied to will arbitrarily slow down or prevent your phone from being updated for months, years, or forever. People who hate updates might think this is a benefit. It is not. We're talking about security updates, not about when an app developer decides to randomly change everything for no reason. There is no legitimate reason for this, it's only done so that carriers can add bloatware, adware, and spyware to the OS updates.

Budget phones like the A14 will often have promotions from carriers that reduce the retail price of the device. These are locked devices, and they will not unlock the device unless you're subscribed for a certain long period of time. If a phone's page on amazon lists any carrier name, it's locked to that carrier for 6-18 months. The unlocked version of the phone is almost always going to be on the high end of the price range, because it's not subsidized by you being stuck on a specific carrier's plan.

You can get access to the primary carrier networks at cheaper rates using a plan from an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator). They utilize the exact same networks, but have negotiated cheaper rates with the main carrier networks. They pass the savings onto you (and cheap out on other stuff like not having physical locations or huge advertising budgets), so you can access that network more affordably. If T-Mobile has good coverage in your area, Mint Mobile might be a good choice, with an unlimited plan for $15/month. Visible uses Verizon's network and offers a similar unlimited plan for $25/month.

??? What do you mean by this?

Trump imprisoned and removed from ballots.

No other Republican able to run on their ticket.

Biden polling in the drain.

Bernie can still win. Trust the plan, this is Our Revolution.

The only truth behind the conventional "wisdom" that a billionaire made penniless could become a millionaire again within a year is ENTIRELY DEPENDENT upon their social capital. If you're a famous billionaire, you'll have people willing to throw money at your nonsense investment opportunity based purely on your name and former status.

If you're some guy nobody's ever heard of with some daddy money and you somehow manage to lose it all, you're fucked. This guy will never admit he was wrong, he was simply failed due to regulation or something.

it's wild how the takeaway boomers have had from Kent State is that it's now their turn and they want to do it daily on every campus.

So what you're telling me is that the only way to prevent trans genocide is for Democrats to win every election for every seat, forever? And then you just hope they don't decide to compromise across the aisle out of fairness like they do constantly when in power or form a Democratic Anti-Trans caucus that pushes for it just like DFLA has done with abortion?

Yeah, that all seems like a feasible and robust strategy with long-term stability.

Rest in power to a real one. If you're gonna go out, best to do it for a reason and in a way that's hard to ignore.

Ending our unfathomably racist tradition because we're now too racist for it.

If you work like two people, shouldn't you be paid at least double minimum wage?
