Were You One of The 16 Billion!?


GD Tech Nerds.

It's been a minute, right? But we're back with some tasty morsels for you, especially if you're paying too much for your current data plan (spoiler: you are; 90% of people are).

We also witnessed the biggest data breach in recorded history; some 16 billion credentials were exposed.

Time to get yourself a password manager.

Here's what's been cookin' this week.

F*ck Big Carrier Fees, Get Your Data For Less

How much less? Well, if you're paying $80 to $100+ for unlimited data with a mainline carrier, you could switch to an MVNO and get the same deal for anywhere between $20 to $45 (at the top end).

More and more people are growing tired of Google, its monopolistic ways, and its data-harvesting. Case in point: PewDiePie just rallied his 100+ million YouTube subscribers, telling them to ditch Google, cut it out completely from their digital lives. F*ck Big Carrier Fees, Get Your Data For Less How...

GD Tech Nerds! Hereโ€™s a depressing thought: 86% of people pay for data they donโ€™t use, and most of them are with big carriers and phone networks (if youโ€™re in the UK).
