how much data can I waste per month?

350gb so far. Shooting for 500+. I'm only 6 days into my new bill. Never let your dreams be dreams.

- Damn, my best was 6T.
  
  it's a lot of FITGIRL
- I've been illegally downloading anything I could since the days of dialup and 300 baud modems on my Apple 2e.
  I grew out of it, mostly. I don't torrent all the things anymore. My last NAS went down a year or two ago and I quit torrenting. It isn't worth my time anymore. It's perfectly fine if it's still worth your time.

  it takes like 30 seconds to do a 1337x search...
The data usage is inaccurate because Mullvad's data usage is your system's
- So I just need to waste more data to get my numbers up is what you're saying?
13 days in
Looking at this I just realized the Amazon app uses a lot of data for the few times I use it
And also i never use spotify wtf, 20gb for an app Ive never opened is insane, deleted it
- For folks on a metered plan 20 gb is certainly enough to eat it all up. That could bee dangerous
  
  I don't even have one GB of data...
no more half measures walter
you can download music 😠
- I download music cause of the apocalypse happens and mine is the only phone to survive then future generations will know about the Banana Splits theme.
- Well sure I can. But I'm not going to. I don't have the time to spend on websites searching and burning or transferring and ratios and everything else.
  I'm perfectly fine with paying for it because my time is valuable to me.
  
  one provides profits to the porky, the other does not 😠
  tbh i was making a joke that you can store your music locally, why waste data on it, i think you can do it with apple music
I do pretty good numbers these days but 5 years ago i got a 10gb plan and didn't ever even hit 50% usage.
Are you like torrenting?
- No torrenting. Stream a lot of music and video podcasts. My work truck is fancy enough to have CarPlay, so it gets used when I'm there. My personal vehicle has CarPlay as well.
  Always streaming something just about, whether I'm paying attention or it's just background noise.
  Im supposed to use an app to track my service calls, etc but I refuse to use the app, and instead use the web browser version of it a lot. Lots of photo uploads of work done, repairs, plans etc. the app has too many permissions I'm not ok with, and work pays for my cellphone so as long as I use the web version, which doesn't track, can't send push notices etc, they pay for it.
  It isn't ideal, but it's 150+ a month I don't have to pay right now so I'm ok with it til something better comes along. Only leaves me paying for my kids phones monthly.
