  • It will need 60 senate voted to become law which will not likely happen given that the latest FCC nominee only got 55 votes which hints that if a net neutrality bill came to the floor, it will not reach 60 votes to invoke cloture to even advance the bill.

    50 senate votes is easier than 60 senate votes + 218 house votes

    Maybe if there are 50 senators who actually care about the people, they’d get rid of the filibuster already.





  • You can store them in a password manager? My carrier just ask for the imei and you get a notification to add the eSim. There is no way to re-add it once you remove it so theres no useful “data” that I can store. I’ll have to ask them to re-add it after deleting it.

    I never have to scan any QR codes for my carrier, but I’d assume those aren’t gonna let you re-add the eSim anyways so there isn’t really any point in saving those QR codes.



  • I’m not an expert in technology, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t delete eSims since they are actually stored in a separate chip. I’ve done some experients with wiping data (I’m always curious about new tech so I always do some testing to satisfy my curiosity) via remote wipe, both Android and iOS, I’ve intentionally entered incorrect password to get it to reset, and I’ve used the recovery menu in android to reset it, and I’ve used android apps that lets you wipe data via the device admin feature. The eSim always persisted unless you specifically choose to delete it, so I think flashing a rom isn’t gonna be different as long as your don’t send a command to the eSim chip to wipe the eSim data.

    Which can be a bit worrying if a theif is able to reset your phone and bypass the anti-theft device activation features (which is difficult, but not impossible), they could use your eSim if it doesn’t have a Sim pin to protect it, which nobody even thinks about locking the eSim since most people would assume it is safe behind the phone’s lockscreen and it would get deleted in a device reset, but the eSims never get reset unless you specifically chose to.
