I am wondering if anyone has had problems adding an MVNO as a second line via eSim when your primary line is from Verizon. I do this because VZ has dead spots and I still have a plan where they throttle feathering, and because I will NOT pay $10/day to use my phone overseas when I can pay $5/trip for an eSim. In case any of you have tried and failed, I think I’ve figured it out and I wanted to share how I did it.
I’m on an unlocked S20 Ultra, and I upgraded early because I bought it before Samsung backed off of their claim that it had an eSim. Turns out, it does have an eSim but they disabled it (even on the unlocked version) if it is running the software that pairs with a Verizon sim. They told me they had no plans to fix that “issue”, so I was left buying new physical sims for each trip. Last year I bought an orange Spain sim on Amazon, and happened to do a software update with that sim installed. All of a sudden, i have an eSim! Better yet, I still had an eSim when I returned to the VZ physical SIM card.
Problem solved? Of course not because, well, I have Verizon. I now (finally) can run a dual sim at home using Red Pocket GSMA and VZ, so I have coverage when VZ is bad. Cue next trip to Europe and I go to ADD an eSim—sorry, Samsung tells me that I can’t add a second eSim without uninstalling the first. Nonsense, but whatever back to the physical sim for Europe (red pocket works there for no extra charge if you use Wi-Fi calling).
So I’m in Europe with a physical sim from Free Mobile and an eSim from red pocket. I’m messing around with the sim manager and accidentally hit add eSim—it worked! No need to uninstall the red pocket eSim anymore, and I’m finally able to use my phone as intended.
So, from what I can tell, the Samsung OS paired with Verizon is programmed to prohibit adding any more eSims than already exist on the phone. If you’re wondering why your Samsung phone makes you restart when you switch the SIM card, that’s to load the software variant specific to the new carrier on unlocked phones. That software version includes things like, for instance, refusing the ability to add any more eSims than existed before (even if that number was zero). Bastards.
So, since I can’t find anything on Google talking about the issue, I wanted to share how to solve it. These steps fully solve the issue, but I suspect you can also duplicate them just by buying a cheap three U.K. sim on Amazon and doing them without first traveling to Europe. However, I can only confirm that they work while actually in Europe.

1. When you have a software update available, switch to an international sim before installing the update. You can buy them on Amazon sometimes for as little as $10, and as a bonus the higher three packages give you a data allowance to use in the US.
2. Do the software update. Once the phone installs it, your eSim magically works.
3. then you MUST install an eSim. You can download them for as little as $4.50. Now if you go back to a Verizon physical sim, you can add an eSim even when the VZ software is running.
4. download and install a spare eSim, so you have two installed at the same time, even if you don’t need two. The only way to get a second eSim is if you don’t run the VZ software.

A few caveats. I have not yet tried to change the second eSim with the VZ sim installed. I won’t have the need to do that until 2024, but if it doesn’t work I can always repeat the steps above. Also, I’m writing on mobile so excuse the formatting.
And a final note: shame on Verizon, and shame on Samsung. This is EXACTLY why I go with MVNOs whenever I can!

Is it normal for people in audit type positions to be somewhat "shunned" socially?
People praise my work, daily. People trip over themselves thanking me and recommending me for things internally. I'm not dumb, i know a lot of this is a nice way to saddle me with other duties. But I have been able to carve out a very interesting position by taking and improving on various adopted tasks.
Thing is I've been there almost a decade. We're all close at work, one coworker because my real life best friend. But the others, even those who are very close to her, the friendly vibes are never extended outside working hours, which is fine.
But we have an internal recognition program, gets your name and the name you praise put in for a gift card. I try to do 5 a month to promote whatever I am working on (my projects also suffer due to lack of buy in) , I have not ever been given one myself.
I also realized the coworkers who were on LinkedIn endorsed and reviewed each other so I went around and endorsed some skills and wrote one nice recommendation. People thanked me but again, no one has ever endorsed or recommended me.
I work in process improvement and a lot of my job puts me in a place where I drive change and hold people Accountable while also not holding a management position. So I'm not exactly popular, but is it normal to feel this "othered" as a process improvement person in a dysfunctional organization?
I actually love my job. I get paid well and they have been very supportive and accommodating while I grew my family but I'm getting tired of this feeling.

Hello lovely folks, I have been having issues with my Windows not updating and it's starting to affect performance. For the last couple of weeks, I've had an error code show up on the Malicious Software Tool. This is the full error code: Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.113 (KB890830) download error - 0x80070643
I've googled and read a couple of articles but nothing I have tried has worked so far. Does anyone have any advice with dealing in antivirus programs not updating properly and it conflicting with culcumative updates for Windows 10? If you can help, that would be so appreciated. Thank y'all

I am constantly miserable. I'm just functioning. But, I have no one, which is making this all worse. I really, badly, just need a chance to vent and get it all out. Please don't comment if you are just going to make me feel worse. No comments at all are fine. I just need to get it out.
My life has been unfortunate. It could have been worse. It could have been better. But for many many years now it has just been nothing but stress, disappointment, and frustration. I have reached a point where I no longer have anything to get me excited for the future, nothing to look forward to, this is just my life now and I'm trying to figure out how to be okay with that.
Years ago my children were still young and sweet. They loved me. Every time they saw me they were happy and I was a good and active mom. I went back to school. I did well in school. I started working outside the home again. I wasn't in phenomenal shape but I was at least average and could do this like take my kids to the pool. I had such high goals and dreams for myself. I knew I just had to work hard and I was ready! I have always had strong work ethic.
But, everything has been an unfortunate series of events ever since with very little happiness in between. My career and school goals were totally derailed. Originally my husband was studying for an additional certification that would have made major changes for us. But, he decided to "let me" have my time in school instead. He ended up having a bad accident and was bedbound or close to it for many years afterward. It became impossible for me to finish my original career path and school AND work AND keep up with the kids, house, pets, yard, etc. So, I settled for a lesser certification and not an additional degree so I could focus on family.
I found a job that I was in love with. They made me think I was going to go so far. Constantly told me I was their "star employee". I loved my position. But, I quickly started to see the overturn rate, that management gossiping a lot, and that it was a toxic environment to work in. I still tried. I tried SO hard. I was a great employee. I really wanted to prove that I could be the employee tough enough to take it and still shine. But when someone else at work grabbed me "as a joke" and then I was belittled for going to management about it and told I encouraged it? It was time to quit. Really, I don't think my mental health has ever recovered from my time there.
I quit my job. I went to work in a different type of environment hoping it would give me a positive change. I hated it. LOATHED it. I was good at it but I hated every moment of it. After my husband was walking again and able to help with the kids I brought up going back to school. I shifted my focus since my health won't let me work the way I used to. I worked really hard... only to find that my chosen degree won't get me anywhere in my state. Due to all my state guidelines I basically do not have a degree that relates that anything I would be happy doing.
Currently, I went back to work at the place I was last content. I can't stretch as far as saying, "happy". Those days still had struggles. It isn't the same. I know I eventually need to find another job but I have no idea where to look or what to do. I feel like I can't find anything and whatever recruiters are contacting me for pays terrible and I know I would be so unhappy doing. I have 0 direction. No idea what to do. I can't work part-time forever.
My kids are growing. They don't want to spend time with mom anymore unless I'm giving them money or taking them somewhere. I try to have fun and joke around with them like we used to and they just get irritated with me now. I lost all my friends. How could I not? It has been years since I have been able to go do "fun" things. My responsibility level was too high. I have no one to talk to. I used to call one of my parents but now they are dying so that really isn't an option and also another huge source of stress.
My physical and mental health are greatly deteriorating. It is getting harder and harder to just live day to day. I'm a robot just completing actions with no real goal. Once my husband was healthy I encouraged him to get out and about since he was stuck for so long. I was worried about the quality of his life. He is back working out, has lost a tremendous amount of weight, he is buying himself new name brand clothes, has new hobbies, goes out with friends, and has continued to recieve raises and promotions at work on a steady basis. Although, admittedly he hates his current position. But, constantly reminds me of interviews or offers he has from other countries and the significant salaries that will go with it.
I try to open up to him about how I'm feeling and he gets mad. He gets frustrated with me. He snaps or yells and tells me to stop making him feel guilty for having a life. That I CAN go out. I CHOOSE not to. Even though I keep trying to remind him that I don't have any friends to do things with. He throws out names of people that I barely know, haven't spoken to in years, or his friend's wives like they would just immediately accept me. If I'm frustrated about work he tells me to just suck it up and find a position, get experience, and figure the rest out later. That he makes enough money anyway so I can take the pay cut. Or when he's really mad, "God, you need help."
I have put on weight. I look disgusting. Most days I'm embarrassed to even be seen in public because I have just let myself go so bad. I panic having to go to events, especially with people I know, trying to seem "normal" at events puts me in a depression for days. I have managed to only have to go places once or twice a year. Mainly just things like funerals. I can't stand that people can just look at me and know that I am a failure in life. I don't want people to ask me how I'm doing, how is school (I didn't tell anyone I graduated because I'm embarrassed by my degree), how is my marriage, how are my kids, how is work? I don't have a good answer for any of it. I just try to do the basic hugs and hello and then find a way to put myself back in a corner and try not to be noticed or put the focus on the other person.
My house is falling apart and I'm struggling to keep up with the home repair but we can't afford to have other people come fix stuff. My mind just isn't good. I can't take most medications because of my health issues. I take what I can. I take supplements. My job is physical. I'm trying to get back into working out but my family is always around and I'm too embarrassed to work out in front of them. I cook healthy meals. I have leftovers available. I have a music Playlist that I listen to that helps me get through my emotions or at least let's me cry because I fight crying so much. My sex life is definitely going downhill. He has a million excuses why when I can tell the reason is just that he is sick of me.
I'm tired. I'm sad. I'm hopeless. I have 0 idea what to do. Therapy does not work for me. I have tried it so many times and it routinely makes me feel significantly worse than better. I have tried to join groups to make friends and just end up with creepy dudes wanting to talk and within 5 lines it is just sex. I try to plan going out but can't find anyone to go with. Any time for "hobbies" is spent doing home repair.
Like... what do I do? How do I get back having hope this will get better? I know things aren't getting better from here. At the age that I'm at in not going to magically become more pretty. Even if I do exercise I'm never going to be "thin". No, I can't go back to school again. We physically cannot afford it again. I can't force my children to spend time with me. I can't fault my husband for being sick of being stuck with the ugly, depressed, burr of a wife he has stuck to him, which is why I encourage him to go do things away from me. I can keep chipping away at my house, but that is just chores. I'm basically just trying to fix it up well enough to sell. I listen to Hz frequency music for mood elevation. I try to watch funny animal videos or save funny memes.
I don't know what to do. I'm just lost. I'm just tired of being me.

About 3 months ago, I accepted a manager role for a small team of 4 people. The team is very close to each other, but they’ve never really had a manager. (Someone to set up processes and goals.)
3/4 of them have been complaining about me to other sr leadership, including my boss. It makes me angry and sad, and it feels personal. Most of them have less than 3 years of experience, and they’re being paid a very decent amount. The market for their roles is really tight rn, and it’s very unlikely that they’d find something similar in terms of salary. I was on the job market prior to this job for 5 months, so I know.
It’s frustrating because I feel like they don’t respect or like me. I’m asking them to follow some basic documentation to better communicate their efforts to other leaders who don’t understand the amount of work they put in. It requires some accountability, and they are very resistant.
I think I’m winning over 2 of them by giving them projects that are directly tied to their goals at the company, but the other two are really mean.
They accused me of making emotional decisions, even though I’ve been heavily masking and trying to be as analytical as possible. I vacillate between 1) telling them they can either do it this way or leave and 2) trying to convince them that these new processes are better. What I’m asking them to do is what they’d be asked to do at virtually any other job in our field, but because they basically only have experience here, they’re uninformed about that part of the field.
It makes me feel weak and maybe I seem weak to my boss. It goes so against how I’ve interacted with my bosses in my career. I’ve been trying to delay any reactions to them to avoid expressing my immediate emotions, but it’s been really hard.
All this to say that my workplace feels toxic to me. I could replace all of them, but that doesn’t feel right because I don’t want to let my emotions regarding their disrespect affect that decision-making response and I know what it’s like out there to scramble for a job.
Anyway, feeling very disliked and unlikable and sad about it, and it’s causing a lot of negative self-talk. I feel stressed and beleaguered. I want them to like me, and I’m trying to be a good boss. How do I get past this?
