You can make phone calls. The call quality is fine. I don't think its VoLTE yet, but its the same quality you get on an Android phone. You can also start a text via contacts too now. There's been a lot of progress in a month. Sour

It is actually much better now. I have a Birch phone and it is very close to being a viable daily driver. The only thing that stops me from using the Librem 5 as a daily driver is that MMS does not work. I think when they get to mass produc

That's what I was thinking too....but this assumes a few things: a) You have that sort of cash on hand. b) You do NOT miss payments. If you miss payments, they typically have late/collection fees against you (I don't know how

That's partly how I feel too. I bought a car out of college and took out a loan for it, and my goal with that car was to be able to pay off the loan AND save up enough money that I could buy my next car in cash. I have achieved that go

by kop316 7y ago
It does. I am trying to answer the question posed, which was "is this a really good loan?" I took that to mean "If I have the money to buy the car, is this advantageous enough to take a loan anyways?"
816.
by kop316 7y ago
So let's assume the person can pay off the loan (A lot of these loans have clauses where if you miss a payment or are late for a payment they can charge a collection fee or repo the car). From my understanding, what is used is called a

Is it really that the middle class can't afford cars, or is it that a lot of folks want to buy a car they really can't afford? My much higher concern is that the reason people take a seven year auto loan, as it is the default opti

This is great advice that is translatable to a lot of skills. For one, this is perfectly applicable to playing musical instrument/being a musician.

Yep it does, I have it on Lineage. However Lineage cannot update the Kernel (due to no vendor support), it's stuck on 3.10. I'll take a look at Postmarket, I didn't know they were working on it. My issue is that I use the tab

I hope you realize that with the exception of freescale, there are no phone and tablet devices where the vendor actually cooperate and does that. Many of the devices that are documented are because of the open source community that actuall

Yep. Even Google's own devices that are not supported anymore will permanently be vulnerable to this: https://developers.google.com/android/images I have a Pixel C that will never have an official patch to this ex

That's a good way too. Didn't think of that.

While a pain, it isn't impossible. There will be an FCC ID that it has (due to transmitting receiving). Based on that device, you at least know what to look for (a PCI card? An entire board? an Antenna?). Since FCC testing is expensive

The first sentence in Section 10.2 (Absorption, Distribution and Excretion): "Glutamate is absorbed from the gut by an active transport system specific for amino acids." I'm not convinced you read what you just cited.
825.
by kop316 7y ago
An amino acid is a building block for proteins. It isn't something you produce small quantities of, it's a basic component of how organic life is made. I say that to say you make a lot of them. And you eat a lot of them whenever y

Do you recall which RCE bug and when? I have been using it for 4 years, and I recall one in the past year, but Nextcloud was loud and clear on making sure you had to upgrade. It was even nicer with auto updating on Debian, I didn't hav

I would like to say that Nextcloud, while it is not trvial to set up, is very very good at helping you set up the server securely. They additionally have a way to testing your server to make sure you did set it up, and helps you to correct

I in general try to assume good intentions for someone else, and before I go accusing someone of being dumb or malicious, I like to hear others opinion. I suggest you try that sometime. I find life to be much better when I just don't g

My point is I really am only hearing one side of the story. If true, I wholeheartedly agree. However, my experience with those "payments" is closer to "I have read the contract, agree to terms, etc." I am given the oppri

I'm asking because I'm only hearing one side of the story. I have had to E-sign documents before and they always say the documents are available to reading, to which I always ask for it. I've never had an issue with that, esp

It definitely is, but I imagine that doesn't stop dishonest people.

Playing devil's advocate, why would I as an insurance company want to insure you if I don't have access to your medical records to verify preexisting conditions? I say that because then a person could have a preexisting condition,

I disagree that it break social norms. If I am agreeing to something, I want to know what I am agreeing to. If I get treated like I am "difficult", I would say you should be shopping around for a different pediatrician.
