Hello my fellow pirates I have a question for all. Is there a way to remove pop up ads from my mobile game ? They have been getting really annoying lately and wanted to know if there is a way to remove them. Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

    That’s actually a workaround I never would have thought of. Also stupid that they charge for something built into the phone.

      I was pretty pissed about the whole situation. I checked with two ISPs prior to buying the house and both told me cable internet was available at the address. Turned out the cable terminated half a mile down the road towards the town and they wouldn’t pay to extend the run, or even let me pay to extend it. Then I tried to enable the hotspot and received a pop up saying my plan didn’t support it. I was further upset when I realized I could only share to five devices once I added that to my plan which made me more determined to figure something out. I don’t think I would have stumbled onto the solution if I hadn’t been so upset and determined about everything. I didn’t want to do satellite because latency and all of them having monthly data caps. Being on the internet with dialup is all but useless. Even news articles back in ~2015 would take a solid five minutes to load. Couldn’t stream anything obviously. It was hell. Before I moved out I had setup a yagi antenna pointed at a T-Mobile tower and was getting full bars and pretty respectable speeds considering, comparable or higher than cable would have been. I did end up having to setup a pc fan near the dongle to keep it cool though because it would get really hot. My first one started smoking and died. The second one lasted three years before I ended up moving.

        Holy shit, what a bunch of BS. Hell of a story though, thanks for sharing.
