Thx. Well my account was just a lurker the first year or more, in reality I completly switched, when the most people switched last year. The only difference, I had already an account.
If you use some sandpaper you can get them to align nicely. Star woth higher grits and work down, first do some vertical passes, then horizontal. Thank me later
As rubbish as America is today, you’re out of your goddamn mind if you don’t think the British have been the bad guys throughout most of their imperialist past, including during the American revolution.
So you know a driving force for the colonies wasn’t taxes but it was not being allowed to expand over the Appalachians and the troops living in their homes
Which makes it odd that you would bring up colonialism
Also we can look at Britain destroying their economy to offset the costs of others to not use slave labour, although this happened later anyone would know the Americans were the bad guys at the time
I don’t know how much of a “tip” it is, but I like to use my cellphone’s camera as binoculars. Nowadays zooms can be very powerful and I use it regularly to read faraway signs, see details on distant structures and to see far things in general. The anti-shake software usually is enough, but if whatever I’m trying to read or look at is VERY far, I zoom in, hold my breath to snap a quick picture and then examine it calmly. I’ve found it to be very convenient, specially when traveling
In phone call forwarding settings there will be “When unreachable” option with default number. That’s the number which handles “The number you have dialed is temporarily not in service. Please try again later.”
You can take that, copy it into “When busy”, and then when you decline a phone call, it looks like your phone was off.
In my case this doesn’t quite work with VoLTE enabled as it just kept “Ringing” for the caller instead, but hey, at least I don’t have to wait for the ringing to stop.
Just one little caveat: These settings use MMI codes that work only with 2G and 3G. If your carrier doesn’t provide them anymore, it leaves you locked out of those settings unless they provide alternative method to access them (perhaps in their app). Same goes with call barring, CLIR, credit info and all other USSD codes. 4G/5G also doesn’t support traditional voice calls, instead relying on VoLTE/VoWiFi/VoNR or handover to 2G/3G.
This makes 3G my favorite.
Anyway, there’s still a way to reject all calls that way even without such settings when your carrier only has 4G/5G: Disable VoLTE (4G), VoWiFi and VoNR (5G). That leaves you without any way to actually receive phone calls, making you actually unreachable, while still enjoying mobile data and SMS.
The last one can be achieved even if your carrier does have 2G/3G. On Android you can go into one of the hidden settings (*#*#4636#*#*) and in “Phone informationn”, where “n” is SIM card number, there’s “Set preffered network type” where you could instruct your phone to never connect to 2G or 3G.
There’s even options not supported by your device. You’ll have to research that.
