C'mon now. I know this is a lie because you live in Seattle.

No one there would think that was strange.
This is true. At the start of the pandemic I tried going to the grocery store late at night to avoid crowds, saw some things that can't be unseen. Decided I was better off with crowded daylight hours.

So, AT&T completely bricked my and my son’s older LG phones. I don’t get this, as they are 4g phones, and AT&T said they were not supporting 3g anymore. Anyone know anything about this? I really, really like the features on my phone.
Granted they sent some replacements for free, but the replacements certainly don’t have headphone jacks, 128 storage, or a built in DAC.

Due to their 3G deprecation schedule, a couple of months ago they sent S a new Galaxy S9 for free as they thought she was still using her old S7 Active (she wasn't as we'd bought an LG off ebay she'd had for 18months)

Thankfully it still has a headphone jack.

My S20 FA doesn't and instead I have to use a bulky dongle :panic:

What replacements did they offer you?

it’s an AT&T Calypso, with 16g of storage. Surprisingly, it does have a headphone jack, but not enough storage for my Spotify. It is a super-cheap house model.
They must have run out of S9's to give away :p

Phone issue resolved…AT&T was going off the fact that the SIM card I have been using for years is only 3G, and not the phone itself (which is 4G).
All good again.
Until we go through this in a bit with 4G phaseout, of course.

"SIM" card, not SD :)

Ask them for a 4g sim card

Wifey is gone for the week…I just ate an entire 8.25 OZ can of Honey Roasted Cashews for dinner.

I too am fending for myself this week. But I made fajitas for dinner.


*But also ate plenty of junk this afternoon when I got hangry.

Here. Layla's getting progressively worse, so Wifey's off to the vet with her. She's about to become an expensive dog, but so be it. Otherwise normal work and study for me.
