Now we have Citizens United and also Elon Musk, I guess—no disrespect to Bernie—but Musk, as the world’s wealthiest individual, he can influence political primaries through his vast fortune and control of powerful social media platforms. He is an oligarch to the endth degree. This is exemplified by his position as a close advisor to Trump and his ability to shape political discourse through his platform, X. Prove me wrong; hasn’t he already set the stage?

Yep that 24/7 round-the-clock construction and experience in Taiwan surely would contribute significantly to the difference.

As far as I know they do, they were offering it as a competitive rate and all when I signed up, but it wasn't a main concern for me. I know that you can use it and set a caller ID if you need to, the SMS function was a handy option for two factor checks so I went with them. I'd say as a Pay as you go option it was worth a try, although reading a few reviews online, some mentioned that the call clarity could be an issue, no problems here though.

Edit: after reading the other comments I'm going to take JMP for a spin

A week ago I went to use my Skype and was super frustrated to see that Microsoft took my credit balance, now Skype demands a subscription model. I tried a few other companies but the only one with a PAYG model that suited my basic needs was KeepCalling. I'm impressed with their prices, transparency (privacy model) and also it's been super easy to use so far.

Yeah true that, but it certainly raised global attention. Got a better title?

Hey there! My take on this, based on how you plan to use your phone and keep it for a while (8 years), the Fairphone 5 with 128GB/6GB will work fine at first. However, I think waiting for the 256GB/8GB version could be a smarter move. It’ll help ensure that your phone stays fast and has enough storage as time goes on, which is perfect for your long-term plans. If you can, I’d suggest holding out for that upgraded model! Dunno that's what I'd do.

Oh yes! For me it works better in B&W, the picture subject follows the classic golden ratio but the best parts are the angles, lines with the reflections and shadows. Really great pic in my opinion. Great job!

Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn't use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

 

Hi all, I'm looking into ways to protect my privacy while using WhatsApp, particularly in a professional setting where separating personal and work-related communications is crucial. I'm thinking of buying a dual SIM phone and am considering strategies to sandbox my personal contacts, pictures, and media from those associated with my work profile on WhatsApp.

Has anyone successfully done this using two SIM cards on the same device? I'm staunchly anti-Facebook and its obtrusive privacy-related practices, so ideally I want to prevent cross-contamination of personal and work-related data, including contacts, photos, and media shared through the app. Will this be a good strategy? Are there any known risks or precautions I should take to minimize the risk of my data being shared or accessed by third parties? - Thanks all, I'd appreciate any comments.
