Did you have it active for 2 years? I've never had an issue before. Only done it like twice, though.

Yep. Or quasi installments. They usually make it where your paying like $20 a month on the phone for two years, but they're deducting $20 a month off your monthly service at the same time. That way if you try to break contract, you have to pay for the rest of your phone that you still owe.
I've had a couple. The issue is that you don't save any money on their service if you have your own. So it's basically "you can pay us $70 a month and buy your phone yourself, or you can pay us $70 a month and have this phone under contract for two years that we'll give you."
In the US, almost no one buys their phones outright. They "lease to own". Anyone whe does buy their phone outright can just buy the unlocked ones.
So I'm not sure what this rule would actually change. You're already not Carrier locked if you bought your phone. You're only Carrier locked if you lease it.
The big fuck up was eliminating competition by allowing t mobile to buy sprint. Too many pieces of shit were in charge 2016 to 2020.
You play shattered pixel dungeon for the next 20 hours is what you do.
You should have embraced the heck out of that.
I rewatched it a few years ago. Didn't much care for it. But remember when it first came out (I was around 20 at the time) and liked it.
On a side note; I totally owned the Huffy Sledgehammer bike just like the one in the movie. I had gotten it when I was around 13 years old. I got it out of grandma and grandpa's garage and sold it on Craigslist for $100, when it should have been worth like $25.
Also, yes. I did take it on some pretty sweet jumps.
That article you linked is utter trash, but it is correct about battery weight of a charged battery....technically....very technically....barely.
Like, a 4,000 mah lithium battery fully charged should weigh about 30 picograms more than when dead.
To put 30 picograms into perspective; a single 5 inch long human hair weighs around 0.04 grams. Well that's 40,000,000,000 picograms.
There just needs to be a cemented in place ban that can't be undone for at least 20 years.
There's nothing being made in the US for batteries because you can't beat China in price and companies aren't going to put six billion dollars and 5 tears of construction I to making a battery factory if they don't believe the ban would last long enough for it to be worth it.
The problem is that you don't get to have a cheaper plan whether or not you own your own phone. Same monthly cost if you get their free phone under lease, or if you bring your own phone.
