How about a ruggedized industrial Android phone?

I see price on Amazon US is $168

If you want really fancy features, the higher end model has a FLIR thermal camera built into it.

If indeed the service is provided by “Radio Link Internet” as listed in your screenshot, the owner can likely fix the speed to “better” with a single phone call RIGHT NOW with the $30 more per month subscription fee to the $85 30mbps down / 10mbps up instead of what they’re probably on the $55 service plan.

Judging from the info on your screenshot this looks like this is a WISP. Meaning if you go outside the building there is likely a small tower with an antenna on it that is aimed parallel to the ground. In the days of ISDN, these were amazingly better. In the days of fiber or even Starlink these are pretty abysmal.

Why are all gym memberships like this? The first thing I check before starting a service is how easy it is to end it. I’ve not been able to find a single gym with reasonable terms.

I do the same. So many gyms have abusive terms which is an immediate deal breaker for me.

There are handful I’ve found that aren’t bad offering true month-to-month service. Give notice by phone or email by X day of the month and your membership ends at the end of that month. Miss that date? You only have one more month beyond that then.

For years Planet Fitness had a good deal they’d only run for a couple of days a year where you could prepay for the entire year for $99 (or later $120). You didn’t give them your bank info, no “credit card on file”. You could literally hand them the cash and 365 days from that day your membership would expire with zero action on our part. That was the best membership deal I’ve seen yet. I don’t know if they still do that.

In the meantime, one could always pay with a prepaid card and then just never add funds when you decide to quit. Then just “return to sender” any mail they try to send you.

If you’re using your real name I would imagine they’d send the debt to collections which would cost you even more when your credit score tanks and you try to buy a car or house.

He’s in a room full of people that were also taught evolution. How is he not cowering in fear under the desk one of his fellow congresspeople won’t shot him? Maybe, just maybe, evolution has nothing to do with it?

Many smoke detectors only last for 10 years. What you’re describing is what mine did in my house when they hit the 10 year mark. If you remove it from the ceiling, they usually have a human readable date printed on the ceiling facing side of the smoke detector.

I’m betting if you pulled one of your “one chirp” smoke detectors down, you’ll find a date more than 10 years ago printed on it. Buy new ones, dispose of these. Note on disposal: old school smoke detectors contain a very small amount of radioactive material. If you have one of these there will be a radioactive logo on it PLEASE DO NOT PUT THIS IN THE LANDFILL TRASH! Please dispose of these and your registered hazardous waste site.

Newer style smoke detectors don’t use radioactive material and instead use regular light sensors. These are safe to dispose of as regular ewaste.

This right here. You get paid either way. Since its just voice mail, there’s no reason you need to sit in an office for this work. Go to the beach, the mountains, or forest with a second device to turn on some nice music. Bring a cooler with your favorite beverages and a picnic lunch. Kick back with your sunglasses on, and start listening to those Voice Mails.

Boss: “Where have you been for the past 3 days?!”
You: “Doing exactly what you told me to; listening to the voice mails. I even my notes sorted them into categories for you. There is apparently some really diligent people interested in letting us know about our car warranty.”

This looks like it should be the first post in a “choosingbeggars” lemmy community.
