If you finance the campaigns of the folks who make the laws anything can be made legal

Haha yes it would be nice if the FCC wasn’t beholden to these companies based on their lobbyists flooding money into Washington…

Verizon and TMobile have been advertising 5g home internet with a discount to their mobile customers, I think that is where Comcast is aiming these ads. To get people to conflate it. Most folks watching these ads don’t know what a gigabit is they are just thinking oh wow maybe Comcast is better.

For the people who do know what a gigabit is, Comcast is saying they are “building a 10 gig network” which means fucking nothing. I’m building a 1,000 story house. There are going to be 998 new stories on my house soon, you see! You’ll see.

Interesting

You have my vote if you run for office.

I’ve heard in other countries they have a CHOICE of electricity providers. Boggles my mind. CHOOSE who you buy electricity from? Like more than 1?

Same here. Before fiber came to my suburb I could only choose AT&T or Comcast. AT&T’s fastest plan was 50mbps and never pulled more than 30. They’ve had permits here to put up Verizon 5G towers for 5 years but haven’t built a single one because of the tin foil hat brigade. I would love to switch to Verizon because I’d save a shitload on bundling it with my cell phones. Verizon has LTE but that would be like going back to the DSL.

They say that but are running the ads this very night during college basketball games…

I tried to ditch Gmail completely and a year later I still have some services (my kids school etc) where the Gmail email is my login even though I’ve changed the email. Not possible to change the login.

Your tone is pedantic and annoying, that’s why these particular comments are downvoted. I don’t know about the rest but maybe ask yourself why am I being downvoted instead of accusing others of downvoting for no reason

So is the downvote

This is really strange. For some reason they think you are the same person or entity as this techdiscount whatever account. Normally that would be because you have the same mailing address, or link the same bank account or something. Maybe your name and date of birth are similar to this other banned person?

Really stupid.

Can you call on the phone?

Edit: now noticing the Reddit post says shitpost so it’s supposed to be dumb. Still don’t get the point of this one.

We would never notice the difference as customers. Piss…sure. Fast food is hell I’m barely mad.

It’s a detour…you have to drive through the bush.

Yeah that setting does it’a job, I get rejected if I try to use a teams app. But it works on the web for whatever reason.

Grey circle = they were fired 😂

Using Teams at first I was annoyed it didn’t have some zoom features like video backgrounds or whatever…but after using it quite a while I do like it better. The problem for me is you never know what update is going to break something whenever updates are forced…for office and all of the other work software.

Well, it’s not broken today but an update will break it tomorrow…guaranteed.

When it works it’s alright. Interfaces with the rest of office. But Microsoft literally breaks it all the time…it’s never been more broken then when I updated to Windows 11 today. Literally spent 6 fucking hours on updates, reboots, uninstalls and reinstalls. When I logged off and went home I was still using the damn web version because windows updates were immediately breaking anything tech support fixed. I got paid for doing very little but really frustrating day.

I was hired during the pandemic and Teams has been my main way of interacting with my employer and co-workers since 2021. I like it OK most days but Microsoft likes to release updates that break things several times a year. Oh…I like this new feature! And…an update broke it
