I couldn't watch it, but I get the idea. They must be a transplant from Kansas, that's the way they drive up here, 'I'm going to get on a limited access roadway at well below the posted speed limit. Everyone can stop for me."

Why waste my time????? Why message me on Instagram and try to tell me "You know best"? He is a supposed tuner also. Husam is his name. He bought Justin's car. Such a shame for all those nice parts to
go to an idiot.

I've been on the fence about him. Not sure on how I want to take him.

T-Mobile/Sprint... I guess it's called 'the New T-Mobile' now.


It's a good thing I understand that a mobile phone is nothing but a miniature radio, subject to all the oddities that the atmosphere will put it through.

I see it periodically on FB. I've grown accustomed to laughing at the poor fools. When you've got a statistical sample size of 1 and you're attempting to make judgement calls based on that, you're going to have a bad time. But some people are "hard way learners" (and sometimes so am I).

The 5g thing is true to an extent. Smaller areas won't have the infrastructure for years to come. The thing is that 5G for residential users doesn't matter much. Stream speeds on 4g are far more than enough for the average person.

The tough part will be with phones. More companies are adding 5g which inherently raises the price. But, you are also future proofing yourself for the time if/when 5g does become available within your area.

The issue with getting a 5g phone right now (especially android) is that the phone OS may not be supported in 5 years when 5g readily becomes available.

If you can swing $2,000 for the Z Fold 2. Do it. it's fun to hold the future in your hand. But i wouldn't get the phone strictly for 5g. You can pick up a pixel and spend the other $1,500 on cigars.

The other option you can do with your s10 is root it and load a custom rom onto it. lineage OS is readily available for the device and will keep is running smooth for years to come.

I'm in the average person category. I bought a pixel over the summer for 400$ and received a mc debit card with 150$ on it. I use my phone for talk, text and internet... all the other apps on my phone are useless to me. I wouldnt know the diff bw 5g and 3g. LOL
I miss my old Motorola RAZR flip phone.
