Alright, "thanks" to Huawei(i mean i dont like this corp but hey their mobile wifi product are kinda cool) and the one "cheaper" mobile carrier(u probably knew where i comes from now, shhh)
So now i could just like paying around US$6 for 2TB/mo which for me is pretty much UNLIMITED for mobile use(remember that i still got broadband at home/school which... i use to transfer all the latest animes around from time to time) since i dont watch tiktok and i just does music and wikipedia on the way, or just some youtube videos or news...
And since all those cellular jobs r out-sourced to another device with a built-in battery that could last for around 7~8hrs(estimate by myself, tho the Huawei claimed it could last 12hrs which does not making any sense since that data is given when the Wi-Fi is turned off which makes fucking nonsense on a mobile Wi-Fi device), now my phone can last wayyyyy longer on one charge when out doors tho i will test it later when traveling around the city, you know since Apple's first 5G smartphone's mini version does not last that good... even just on LTE with Battery Saver always turned on
Pretty cool huh? so ive decided to cut the budget on my daily driver's SIM card from a 10GB plan to a 5GB(or less) plan, for Find My service to works anyway(proud iPhone 12 mini user here)
Kinda a saving-cost measure? i guess
And the major reason i bought it is actually to use internet with my ThinkPad when having classes, but that specific WWAN card that have been whitelisted wont works well on linux and theres no workaround(or should i just say, IT DIDN'T WORKS AT ALL) so fuck intel and lenovo
And with this new device, it works like a champ now!
I used to rely on a Sony Xperia which i proudly own but Japan model just don't quite fit the LTE stuff here, and it didnt works with the HSPA+ stuff my carrier use(at least for my second phone number)
It works, but not well, and i dont want to break it since its a really nice nugget... any i treat my ThinkPad like its in Gaza, and something similar to this as well, it could last, and it just a very solid piece of brick(in which is a required point when i purchased my new thinkpad back in sept: works like a champ, could last, could be treat with no respect and still works like a champ, and modern, also with USB-C since its now the standard here for me)
You may have been wondering: why wouldnt just use the Wi-Fi services provided by your school?
The answer is very simple: it sucks
They blocked u from login in certain areas if u have class during that time, and their DNS and stuff is polluted... heavily...
And 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5GHz from old ass hardwares and with no IPv6, also in theory, only TWO devices can be connected simultaneously(which does have some workarounds but not when using Wi-Fi)
and i'm like, mate??? maybe u too
it just sucks, and i want a bit more freedom
But there is also a key problem, majority a problem of my school(again)
Cellular service here, SUCKS
During the day with a good receptions be like 12Mbps(D)/20Mbps(U) at best, and by "good receptions" i mean almost standing right next to the base station
During the night when they havent blocked or speed-limiting the cellular service during weekdays(yes i will address that later in other articles i guess)
its like ~20Mbps(D)/~30Mbps(U)
tho these data just when in school and i will collect more when i am in urban areas or when traveling around
Its quite sad does it?
But i think its still a nice deal for me, in a long-term
alright i am now very exhausted and i am going for a nice sleep
See ya next article
(I havent played any Splatoon today btw, already done the first catalog and now Lv.100 +2)
Tho i dont think anyone will actually read through the whole bullshit anyway
If u does, thanks!
