If only AT&T did it that way. Instead, the fiber terminates at an ONT, which has an ethernet port and that connects to their router. AT&T's network uses 802.1x authentication and the client certs are burned into ROM on the r

It seems to be new behavior introduced in iOS 12. I’ve observed this too, when doing a brief SIM swap. All it took was removing the SIM, and the phone automatically de-registered that number from iMessage.

I read recently that the university I attended has put a system like this in the dining halls. Back when I went there 20 years ago, they’d sell a reusable cup for around $40 that got you 50 cent sodas all academic year long (it was otherwis

I assume by “souped up” they mean they modded it. You can go onto Amazon and get adapters to retrofit HDD-based iPods with flash, and a replacement battery too as long as you’re cracking it open. I did this with an old 5G video iPod and it

My mother-in-law inherited a mid-90s Trinitron TV when her father died in 2005. It's been the TV in their guest room since. Their flat panel TV died a couple weeks ago and they put that TV in their living room as a stopgap. The pictur
