cmaloneyGood morning13:26
rick_h_morning13:27
cmaloneyHow's the day so far?13:27
rick_h_alive and kicking13:28
brouschHm, apparently nobody has wireless coverage at the Grand Canyon and Death Valley13:28
brouschThis will be an interesting vacation13:28
rick_h_hmm, imagine that lol13:28
cmaloneybrousch: I'm sure Verizon has you covered13:29
rick_h_speaking of wireless coverage, got to teach the wife an important phone lesson as her phone was lost/taken at a birthday party yesterday13:29
cmaloneywith their "Death Valley plan"13:29
rick_h_let's just say she's running with a encrypted device with a pin enabled now13:29
cmaloneyrick_h_: What the fuck?13:29
cmaloneyYeah, pin at least13:29
cmaloneyWhich is partly why I rock an older device. :)13:30
rick_h_yea, she complained that she'd have to unlock it in the car, but now that she's got BT in the car she doesn't13:30
rick_h_oh I bet hers was older than yours13:30
rick_h_it was an old moto mini13:30
rick_h_in a giant otterbox case13:30
rick_h_there was no reason to take it13:30
cmaloneyEpic 4G Touch.13:30
rick_h_but as a doc she's got a ton of crap on there that makes me :(13:30
cmaloneyYeah, likely misplaced.13:30
cmaloneyOh noes.13:30
cmaloneyI'm sure I know the answer, but did she have remote wipe installed?13:32
cmaloneyor set up rather?13:32
brouschGoogle has remote location on almost every device now. You can find her phone13:33
mrgoodcatshe shouldn't be using her phone in her car without BT anyways right? :P13:33
brouschhttps://www.google.com/android/devicemanager13:34
mrgoodcatactually in troy you can be given a ticket for using your phone in any way13:34
rick_h_brousch: yea, but she never enabled it13:34
rick_h_brousch: she actually made me enable the G+ location tracking on my end, but never did it on her end13:34
brouschSeems like it's on by default now13:34
rick_h_cmaloney: no remote wipe, though will be13:34
cmaloneyYes Officer I'm using my watch. :)13:34
rick_h_brousch: yea, but not on her old phone13:35
rick_h_it's getting setup differently this time :)13:35
brouschDarn13:35
rick_h_she's using my old motox for now13:35
brouschMaybe that's why they stole it ;)13:36
rick_h_lol13:36
rick_h_honestly we think it was just kids. Bunch of 3-6yr olds13:36
brouschWat? no Ubu phone for her?!13:36
rick_h_hah, I don't have one of those13:36
cmaloneyIf it's 3-6 y/os it's probably half-way to the Detroit River.13:37
cmaloney"Water go down the hoooole"13:37
rick_h_yea, that was my 'joke' that I was told was not very funny13:37
cmaloneyrick_h_: When you're not in "Freak-out" mode it's pretty funny13:38
rick_h_yea, I guess timing is most of comedy :P13:38
cmaloneyheh13:38
cmaloney"too soon". ;)13:38
brouschWhich is less evil these days: ATT or VZN?13:40
rick_h_hmm, tough call13:41
rick_h_the thing is that vzw works more places and is faster so I take their evil with my goodies13:41
rick_h_though my phone is on t-mo now13:41
rick_h_but keep my mifi on vzw so it always works13:41
cmaloneyYeah, I think it's more a question "who is more evil: Satan or beelzebub"13:41
rick_h_I will say, after I finally found a way to get a person on the phone last night13:42
rick_h_vzw support rocked it out of the park13:42
rick_h_taking a sim card from my mifi, moving her phone number over to that sim, and helping it get setup in my old motox all over the phone in about 15min13:42
rick_h_so from her phone going gone to her getting calls again was around 45min which was sweet13:42
rick_h_<3 sim cards13:43
cmaloneyrick_h_: That is pretty cool13:43
cmaloneyYeah, no kidding13:43
brouschIs it a sign of old age if I complain about how all smartphones are gigantic these days?14:03
jrwrenbrousch: vzn is less evil, only because I'm a shareholder :p14:14
jrwrenbrousch: Credo is the ultimate in less evil.14:15
brouschI'm sure I'm a shareholder in both of them via my 401k14:15
jrwrenbrousch: its a sign of old age if you do complain about being able to read the disply or press the "buttons"14:15
brouschIf I buy the same phones and same plans on ATT and VZW, they come out to a less than $50 difference after 2 years.14:33
cmaloneybrousch: AT&T is pretty much evil incarnate14:37
cmaloneybrousch: VZW is also evil incarnate but has a better network14:37
cmaloneyso in your dealings with the devil I'd say VZW is offering a better deal for your souol14:38
brouschI love Ting, but Sprint's network is garbage incarnate14:38
cmaloneythe only reason I'd go with AT&T is if you valie GSM14:38
cmaloneyThey have a GSM option, though it's in beta14:38
brouschDo I look like a Communist?!14:38
cmaloneybrousch: https://ting.com/shop/gsmSIM14:39
cmaloneyI think they've partnered with T-Mobile14:41
cmaloneyThey're not saying directly bu14:43
jrwrenno Credo users?14:44
cmaloneyWhat is Credo?15:06
cmaloneyOnly other MVNO that I'm aware of is Consumer Wireless (?) and that's because my parents got sucked into that.15:07
