I'm considering switching to US Mobile from Verizon-- it seems way cheaper, and you can still use the Verizon network. Any downsides I should know?

I started mid last year and haven't run into any problems. Haven't needed to switch off of Dark Star yet. I was previously on Google Fi, and MVNO roaming is bloody fantastic - I always had reception.

What is dark star?

It's the name of their AT&T MVNO.

My service was out for approximately 7 hours. But I pose a question that I've been wondering since: I have a Moto. Updates are explicitly disabled. A lot of stuff has been deactivated via ADB. While Moto does try to force sneak updates against my settings and will, on occasion, I just so happened to grab my phone today and at approximately the very moment of the outage, noticed an unsolicited Moto update, which I can…

Thanks a lot eth0up, we all went down waiting on you to accept that Moto update.

I have updates blocked, which is why the simultaneous update seemed odd.

In my wild imagination, I vaguely surmised something involving compromise. I'm not sure what you're implying though, probably something spiteful.
