It appears that Tmobile/Sprint is dropping the 3G CDMA. I believe that is what your Samsung 5 uses. So any carrier abandoning 3G CDMA will not accept your phone after the switch. Also your Samsung 5 is only 'unofficially' supported through "4.4.4 kitkat via three different ports of CyanogenMod" and even that now is discontinued. I'm kinda thinking it may be time to think about a newer phone.

I have had dealings with Patriot Mobile in the past couple months and I am very happy with them. A couple of telephone conversations have left me with the impression that they are a United States of American based expanding company geared toward customer support.

We switched over from Verizon to Patriot Mobile in the summer. Same experience. VERY helpful and great customer service, so different from Verizon, Sprint and the other "woke" companies.

Thank you Jeff!!! I started following your channel. One thing I like is all the people sharing all they have learned. What a blessing you are. I keep telling myself I can learn to do it, haven’t taken the plunge yet. But soon. 🇺🇸

Here is a recording of the Live Audio Stream from this channel for Dec. 22, 2021 @ 8:00pm EST. Hear about a new computer and mobile Operating System and App Store built by American Patriots, that will change the course of history by restoring Digital Freedom to We The People!

If you haven't started your journey to set yourself free from 'big tech' by learning about Linux, on this channel, we teach you how!

BIOS means (B)asic (I)nput (O)utput (S)ystem.

For a long time, computer motherboards relied on a kind of read-only memory (ROM) called the BIOS, or Basic Input Output System, to store important system configuration options for when your computer first powers on.

The BIOS was configured with a screen like the one shown above, with options for which device to boot from, such as a CD-ROM or "boot from USB." On systems with a BIOS, the BIOS would load first at power-on, before the Operating System. In newer systems, the BIOS is being replaced by something called the UEFI, which performs many of the same functions the BIOS used to.

So thrilled that my Linux machine was able to play region locked DVDs when they would not play on my son-in-law's fancy schmansy TV/computer system. I have some US region DVDs of some of my favorite kid Christmas shows that I wanted to watch with my grandkids here in Europe. Linux and VLC to the rescue! Frosty and Rudolph can be enjoyed by another generation.

Yay!!!

All the Big tech that have silenced us for telling the truth owe us reparations

They took us from the public square and many of us out of the market square

I will never rest on them

If you are one of the several hundred Patriots enrolled in our Linux for Beginners course, this week's Saturday Workshop has been moved to Sunday afternoon, Dec, 26th, 5:00pm EST. (If you can't be there live, the workshops are always recorded so you can watch them later on the LMS, whenever you want!)

This week's topic is: Custom VPN's on your own server, revisited! Why trust your data to public VPN's when you can make your own, that you control, that even works better?

Join us as we revisit the topic of how to set up your own private VPN, with an IP address that won't be flagged as a VPN, on your own cheap Linux server anywhere in the U.S. or the world! We have had so many questions about this topic, we decided to do another workshop about it!

E-mail invitations will be sent out a few hours before the workshop starts. See you Sunday afternoon!

Thank you,Will!! And Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Celebrating the True Light coming in to the world (Jesus) and grateful for this fall of 2021 when He led me to a genuine "light" and a brighter world in my technology (FOSS)!

Been using Ubuntu for several weeks now on my Dell laptop. Luv it!

Linux Mint up and running and much faster than the previous OS Windows 10. I am enjoying the very clean look of Mint. Merry Christmas 🎄☃️🎄 everyone!

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all Linux family and to Jeffrey Peterson.

Merry Christmas everyone! And Happy Linux New Year!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!
