That is correct. There is no unlock code. It's a server-side command that the phone receives to do highly-privileged low-level unlock operations.

See: https://www.t-mobile.com/responsibility/consumer-info/policies/sim-unlock-policy

It should happen during the port out, but I guess something didn't trigger the OEM unlock toggle properly. I think OP skipped many important steps if the preparing the Pixel was an afterthough to getting that Fold.

I had my Pixel 6, 7, 8 all OEM unlocked by SIM unlock on T-Mobile before the new policy. The new policy still allows OEM unlock through a SIM unlock. The only thing that changed is early permanent SIM unlocks or unpaid balance permanent SIM unlocks are no longer possible. Reason why I went retail unlocked for the 9, 10, and 11.

Pixel 11 doesn't even have the necessary hardware for Graphene but that's a different story and bs ideological politics.

When the android starts swearing, you know you're boned.

Starks

You refused to pay off your phone properly and wait for the automatic SIM unlock which would un-gray the OEM unlock. You are SOL. There is no dialer code concept for unlocking Pixels, only the automatic unlock and the unlock app AND ONLY while you are with T-Mobile for the original installment plan.

Did you even SIM unlock his phone in the first place? Was the phone on the network for 40 days?

Horrifying nerfs.

Please vibecode an Android version if you can.

Thanks. All unseated?

Do we have any clear answer on squad assignments besides Maiko in 12?

Kubo's health is a real concern if her serializes. But doing a direct Hell arc anime is risky unless he has much tighter control over the script, storyboarding, character design, etc.

I don't know what kind of reception he's expecting at Barclay's.

No. And it wasn't enough for my old Pixel 9 Pro XL either. Between apps, aicore, and recording videos, all of that space just evaporates. Not even 256 is enough anymore when I thought it would be. 233 GB of my 512 GB Pixel 11 Pro XL already gone. I probably wouldn't go back to 256 even if the Pixel 12 doesn't repeat the 12GB, non-zoned UFS bs again.

512 is my sweet spot where I won't have to think about space or how much to record.

It would be amusing to see the Supreme Court say with a straight face that being a member of Congress is a shield against impeachment, especially for prior acts before taking that office. Maybe you can make the historical argument that expulsion is the proper remedy and nobody has tried impeachment since the 1790s.

I'm fairly confident that this might be a bridge too far for even the court. If you do something impeachable while you're a member of the executive branch, becoming a senator should not protect you.

The Belknap case in the 1870s established that resigning does not protect you from subsequent impeachment, conviction, and disqualification from future office even if you are ultimately acquitted.

You were probably entitled to select a seat but you never did so in the JetBlue app after you booked it on the travel portal. That being said, the travel portal should have offered you a seat selection, but that's not always the case as we can see here.

Starks

Even if we think JetBlue has another year or two once they enter Chapter 11, that stock price may move faster than that. Down quite a bit today.

I imagined something similar to The 6th Day. A crisis of unauthorized clones.

Trump goes out of his way to validate his own feelings and creating new omnidirectional vitriol and opinions within his party that they never knew existed.

Alaskans have the best possible ballot for this situation and he thinks they're still too dumb to understand it.

I've been trying to throw GPT at random devices in my home. No luck on fixing my robovacuum's cliff sensor, but time to try TVs.

Is there any chance we can turn HLS into a Moonlab, de facto gateway, or reuse it as a lander in a future mission?

Starks

What happens to HLS and all these tankers once Orion is done with it on the way back?
