Hello all, I am a VERY infrequent cellular LTE user, so I have currently opted for prepaid from H2O. I am currently on a very cheap plan for 10 bucks a month. I realize I will be travelling soon, and I am looking for a plan that lets me take temporary unlimited for a month, as I will be needing some data. It doesn't matter to me if the speeds are throttled after a certain amount, just having some cellular data that doesn't run out is fine. I want to keep my number, if possible. I am travelling in the US,, and I have unlocked S7 Edge phone. Is there such a plan, or similar? Thanks

Currently I use Ting with my Samsung Galaxy S7, and have been using it for around two years without any major issues (Aside from shit coverage in some areas that I frequent), however I'm wanting to switch to a different service provider as Ting gets too expensive once you start using a reasonable amount of minutes/texts/data. I'm located in SE Michigan, USA. I'd prefer to keep the plan to $40 USD maximum. A few things I want from it... - Unlimited talk and text - At least 2GB of data - Tethering enabled (I sometimes need to use my laptop tethered to my phone, and would rather not have to pay extra for this.) - Good coverage (4G/LTE) - Decent data speeds (At least 4Mb/s is good) - Reasonable technical support (As long as they're better than Comcast, I can handle them.) - Supports BYOD (I don't want to have to buy a new phone, I'd rather just bring my Galaxy S7 [International Unlocked, GSM] over with me) I'm considering Cricket right now, though have heard fairly mixed reviews on it. Anyone have any suggestions?

So when you buy a Pixel phone, you get unlimited google drive storage for a long time basically. Does it apply to your entire Google account or only to content taken on the phone? Can I add unlimited photos and videos from my gopro to drive and have unlimited storage on that aswell?

So this is kinda weird problem, I've downloaded The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited and installed it, made my avatar and when I hit that PLAY button I'm stuck at the 'logging in' screen for like a minute and then im redirected to the account login page with the error message "sorry a problem has occured try logging in after some time". I tried to run this game on my cellular 4g data via usb tethering after some time and guess what it works perfectly. But for some reason it won't work with my broadband(6mbps). Any solutions for this? I've already tried port forwarding, Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks!

Euclideon is a graphics company with their Unlimited Detail technology. CEO and Inventor of the Unlimited Detail technology Bruce Dell unveils their games. This was made by 3 people in 2.5 months. "Animals made out of animated point cloud data" "Graphics were made by us going down to the river with buckets and collecting rocks and sticks and leaves...scan them in...with ability to use them in unlimited quantities" The video continues with Holoverse reveal. Source: https://youtu.be/4pFAgf3PUK8 EDIT: Official Holoverse Webpage: http://holoverse.com.au --- The technology opens new possibilities, now we have to use con trees to save compute power, but in future games there will be trees at full detail at all distances. Or make atmospheric to space flight with no transitions.

For those of you who don't know Videotron, it is a Quebec-based telecommunications company. Just like Bell, Rogers and Telus, they offer Internet access, cable and mobile plans in Quebec. However, earlier this week, Videotron made a splash in the Quebec tel-co scene. They released their new "Unlimited Music" service that allows users to stream music form partner services without it counting towards their mobile data cap. Such partners include Spotify, Rdio, Google Play Music and others. Any user who currently has a Premium Plan (starting at $64.95) has access to "Unlimited Music" (Source: Videotron). That sounds really good on paper. While I would be more than glad to use this service (my current plan with Videotron doesn't allow it), I can't help but think about the CRTC's ruling back in January. They specifically ruled that Bell and Videotron are not allowed to stream their mobile TV content without it counting towards the user's mobile data cap. Such practice would give an unfair advantage to Videotron's and Bell's own media companies and violate principles of net neutrality (Source: Net neutrality: CRTC bans Bell from subsidizing data usage for mobile TV app). However, the situation is a bit different than what happened back in January. Videotron's partners in offering this service (Spotify, Rdio, etc.) are not owned by Videotron. Surely, this cannot be seen as an anti-competitive behaviour, right? Well, while Videotron is saying that any organization can become a partner and be streamed free of data caps, they do not say if there is a fee for these partners or if there is any other requirement (Source: Videotron bets on mobile streaming future, eyes new users with ‘Unlimited Music’). I personally think that an offer like this could deter newcomers in the music streaming world to enter the already small Quebec market if they have to pay to have access to Videotron's unlimited network. What if other tel-co join Videotron in this endeavour? Music streaming companies are either going to have to chose between the different carriers or pay every carrier for unlimited access which could ultimately lead them to charge more for access to their streaming services. On the other hand, Videotron's offer could push competitors in offering more competitive services by, say, raising data caps without raising prices. I could be totally wrong and Videotron's new service is a step in the right direction for the Canadian mobile Internet. I guess we will have to wait for someone who's well-versed in net neutrality to stream music from a service that wasn't partnered with Videotron and see what happens. What do you think? Is this a step in the right direction or a complete offense on net neutrality?

Amazon Has Announced That They Will Be Giving Unlimited Photo Storage Towards Paying Prime Members This is big. Amazon has given all prime members the ability to upload all of the photos that they will ever need to there own servers with the new Amazon application that is on basically every single device. This will affect many users suffering the same issue as me, I am always running out of space on my phone. All of the users already paying for Prime will be able to do this and it will not increase the amount that they are paying for. This will give me the ability to add storage to my photos without paying another $100 just for another 16 GB (Thanks Apple!) I believe this is a great thing for us and Amazon. It could potentially encourage a lot more subscriptions for Prime. With these more subscriptions they could probably make up some of the money that they loss on the Fire Phone ($170).

Okay, I'm going to try and not quote the entire article here, even though I really want to. First news post. This piece of legislation is a response to the recent terrorist activity that's been happening in Australia. Source: http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/consumer-security/terror-laws-clear-senate-enabling-entire-australian-web-to-be-monitored-and-whistleblowers-to-be-jailed-20140926-10m8ih.html First of all, the unlimited access to any and every device upon a network: So the government now has access to absolutely everything they want to, as well as being able to control it, even if it's not the device that they're targeting. Next up; what happens if you're a whistleblower, journalist or even a normal person who leaks information. The government want's to keep it's secrets, and it'll jail the shit out of anyone who thinks about doing otherwise. Now, something to ice the cake on just how extreme this is: Yup, it would have allowed them to torture people, keeping in mind that could be any average person who leaks information. Now, this is batshit fucking crazy you say. Well, you're right, and there are some good politicians who tried to do something about it. Senator Brandis being the asshat behind all of this. Oh, and you know that thing about the government forcing ISP's to store data? So they ended up sneaking it in to a different piece of legislation, like they always fucking do. Now, finally, what some of the others had to say about this. And finally, the comment I think best sums up the situation: Sorry for all those quotes, I just felt that it was necessary to make sure I included everything I needed to. I personally think that the current direction is going to make Aus go to complete shit, but all in the name of protecting the people. I used to get angry, then for a while I stopped caring, but now I'm just incredibly frustrated. You know that feeling you get when you just want to punch the living daylights out of someone, but you really can't? Yeah, just like that. I think that the terrorist actions have been completely wrong, and that the reasons behind those actions are also wrong, but I can see how these sort of actions by the govt are going to edge people closer to taking doing crazy things against the country, and it's government.

Link to the interview; pictures and material taken from: http://www.gamingface.com/?p=1240 "Bruce Dell is the brain behind Euclideon, the Australian start-up that has been in and out of the news for many years now with updates on their Unlimited Detail technology, a technology which uses a point search algorithm to produce stunning computer graphics at a fraction of the system resource cost of the current polygon system that is hegemonic to computing worldwide. It’s revolutionary stuff, although critics say it’s only potentially revolutionary and really harsh critics even say it’s a hoax! Most recently, the company released a video titled Euclideon SOLIDSCAN – Capture Reality. The video shows footage of the real world scanned using their SOLIDSCAN technology and then reproduced. It’s enticing to think what game developers, building construction and other industries can do with this technology. But not everyone’s convinced and there is a pattern to the questions and comments being posted on YouTube, social media and forums. So, Bruce Dell has kindly agreed to answer some of those common questions …" " Johnny Gatt: Hi Bruce thanks for joining us. Can you tell us a bit about Euclideon? Bruce Dell: Sure, thanks for having me, Euclideon is an Australian company that is trying to rebuild every part of 3D graphics in a better way. Most graphics we use in the world today are made of polygons, which are like little flat pieces of cardboard. This system is very limited and it’s not very good at doing certain tasks. We are making 3D graphics out of little xyz atoms instead, this allows us to make graphics that are much better and a lot more like the real world." Full interview: http://www.gamingface.com/?p=1240

So, next summer I am getting my own room because I will be a BIG BOY! (My mommy said big boys don't watch Barney!, <---Is that true?) I want to put an all out gaming setup in it! The budget is $5000 NOT including the build, but INCLUDING MONITORS AND PERIPHERALS! So.... Any ideas? Hey @IdeaStormer , any ideas? Reasons: I can't play any game on this rig! Monitors: I would like a triple monitor setup! I want LED lights everywhere! Ask @WinNut , I LOVE them!

Hi guys, So i was playing GTAV, and I just don't get what's the point of the character attributes. Lung capacity I understand, since not breathing in water has a definite impact on the character's capable duration in the water. But, the characters can sprint unlimitedly, how does stamina work then?

I'm not in the UK and from Australia everything seems pretty cheap but after the progression of carriers in the US like T-Mobile allowing much cheaper roaming there seems to finally be some movement. TalkTalk Mobile is offering some SIM-only plans that seem really cheap. Roaming charges everywhere are super expensive but what about close to home? Carriers can charge what they want and generally do so it's great to see plans that don't actually cost that much. Their cheapest is the £3.50 plan which gets you 100 minutes, 250 texts and 100MB of data per month. Next step up is £7.50 which gets you 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data. The large plan is £15 and gives you unlimited calls and texts with 2GB of data. From my understanding they are all 1 year contracts and if you sign up online your data gets doubled which is great. Being someone who uses a lot of data, the option to get 4GB a month is the option I'd go for but they all look pretty good. Personally I pay AU$59 a month (+$10 for the phone) to get $750 of calls and texts and 3GB of data. This equates to about £35 and I'm not even getting the same deal! Now I'm well aware of the size of the country and the fact it doesn't cost so much to maintain the infrastructure required but these cheap plans differ far too much. So does this mean we're finally moving somewhere or are these just short-lived glimpses of hope like I believe Sprint's unlimited data plan was?

Original article by Neowin.net. This is unfortunate: the relatively large free storage was what set OneDrive apart, and the new storage plan is also much less compelling, coming in at 50GB for 1.99 a month, the same price that for now gets you 100GB. This seems more of a price hike made with the excuse of some users abusing the "unlimited" nature of current Office 365 plans, which is hard to believe wasn't an issue anticipated by Microsoft when unlimited storage was first launched. EDIT: as pointed out by QueenDemetria, here's the link to the official FAQ on the changes. EDIT2: the issue has reached the top of OneDrive's requested feature list on MS's official Uservoice.com site: https://onedrive.uservoice.com/forums/262982-onedrive Since MS has had a history of actually listening to this official channel, concerned users might want to add their votes (maximum of 3) to the request if desired. UPDATE: as reported by @dalekphalm, Microsoft decided to address the issue in the following manner: Here the entire Microsoft press release, again as cited by dalekphalm:
