so I brought 8 lines over end of June

applied for all my rebates July 1

4x BYOD Costco 4x new device Costco

was hoping to grab the new pixel 11s, but the BYOD rebates haven't hit (none of them have other than the payoffs)

Costco guy says just wait 90d, tmobile support agent says can get new phone no problem after reviewing the BYOD terms (just says to keep line active), internet searching seems inconclusive

my instinct is to wait for the rebates to finalize/process, but not sure if anyone knows definitively

thanks!

hey all, trying to maximize my port from Att for fam, 8 lines. att keeps adding little rate hikes, for service that despite having bars, never loads anything

eyeing the EB and BV plans. have access to the special discount for EB

unless I'm missing something, that becomes a 26/mo difference (316 v 290), as both share the same taxes+fees. would be all in about a 100/mo increase for EB over my att plan, want to make sure it's worth it

benefits of EB over BV appear to be no throttle during high congestion and 1 vs 2 year upgrades. also appears to affect phone offers/upgrades until BV hits the 5y mark

BV v EB also affects some of the additional promos at costco

ill have 5 upgrades, 3 BYOD

new acer a14-52mt refurb

nuked the default windows install

fresh windows install, install the wifi drivers and let windows grab the drivers

install the intel dsm and let it update as expected

set every windows setting 'while plugged in' to never shut off monitor or put to sleep

set every windows setting to performance mode

install acer sense, set it to performance mode

turned off screen saver, then turned it on, set to 50000m, then turned it back off

run cinebench, 15s in, the monitor dims, if i wiggle mouse, back up, if i dont, at exactly 1:30s windows shuts off monitor, lock screen triggers

what in the actual fuck is going on.....i hate laptops

noticed that when it detects moveme

just picked up my 2026 sel convenience today

driving home and couldn't help but feel like when going straight, the metallic line on the wheel isn't dead center, a touch counter clockwise

or, my alignment is off and I need to set the wheel off center to go straight, idk

it goes straight, but is almost feels like it wants to pull a touch right (I know roads are tented for drainage)

can they re-zero the wheel? wonder if they can pop it on the alignment machine and let me know if the factory alignment is off? tpms showed even pressure on all tires

anyone else have this happen?

as I'm shopping around here, I'm seeing a wide range of prices people are getting

trying to maximize all our abilities to jump into these cars at a fair price

figured it might be helpful to post your deals, and what dealer you worked with

if possible, just post your sticker discount and the manufacturer

something like:

"hybrid sel convenience

msrp was 37220, got 2400 off sticker, plus may 2750 hmf rebate

xyz dealer in NY"

everyone's taxes (trade-ins in some states change taxable amount), doc fees, registration (new v transfer), all can vary quite a bit

so if we eliminate those variables, we can see what a realistic off sticker discount people can get/expect, vs attempting to co

hey all

currently have a pair of meross units, and while they are fine with the mqtt integration, they aren't exactly 'local only' as they require the app for things, they dont support 40mhz channel width, and my hand me down tplink wont let me change to 20mhz (another rant and solution for another post)

i know anthom.tech have a garage door kit all bundled up, but seeing as i already have the reed sensors, was wondering if i could consolidate to a single unit: anthom.tech 4ch relay module or [anthom.tech 2ch relay module](https://www.athom.tech/blank-1/2ch-inching-self-lock-relay-for-esphom

so I purchased both a b5 and c5 in the same order

i later realized the PayPal 20% offer

LG themselves said it was too late/unable to cancel the b5-1 from the order a mere 24h later, and to just make a new b5-2 order and return the original b5 after I receive it (wut? also using b5-1 as first ordered, b5-2 as second)

already have the original b5-1 setup, anyone know if they track serial numbers on returns, hoping I can just return the newly delivered b5-2, fresh in the box, as if it were the b5-1

mini rant - how incapable the LG partner store is. disjointed departments between ordering and shipping. inability to make simple changes to an order post, such that their mode of fixing is just
