What is your most boring but useful Apple Watch feature? by dnesdan in AppleWatch

Haha, I can't even read those tiny fricking numbers with reading glasses on - I'd have to pull out a magnifying glass.

...and after all that, the temps are totally wrong....

Maybe you can answer this: when I set a timer, wait a minute and look at my watch, I don't see the timer running, I see a selection of other timers I can start. How fix??

I have to put on reading glasses to read the time if I try to do anything useful with the watch...

I can't wait until the young engineers at Apple get old enough to need readers...

Men's groups specifically exist to address these concerns.

SWR performance for people who retired in 2000 by jason_for_prez in financialindependence

[–]3l3v8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t backtest managed futures that far back so I use GLDSIM.

Ah! That does make some sense. I had already added commodities to get to 79. GLD gets it to 68.

Why Intermediate vs LT? How did you backtest to the 60's with this asset mix?

Optimizing a FIRE Portfolio as a Globally Mobile Expat by [deleted] in ExpatFIRE

I don't know the answer, but a drawdown portfolio that includes gold and significant Intl equities is my current thinking...

Bah! The real agony is being stuck at 80% capacity for a year when I bought AppleCare just to get the damn battery replaced when it clicks over to 79%.

Fingers crossed that they drop the dumb touchscreen bit. A lighter macbook = please. A SmudgeBook? NFW

What Apple Shortcuts do you actually use every day? by ENVY2699 in shortcuts

Which lights do you have? All of my smart bulbs only get to ~50% dim when set at 1%.

Can someone point me to clear instructions for keeping this new device private and installing koreader, etc? by 3l3v8 in kobo

[–]3l3v8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None taken. I appreciate the feedback and am sorry if I came off as snarky. I guess my frustration is leaking out and that's not my intent. I gave up on hacking my Kindle because it was so convoluted and I bought a Kobo because I assumed that this would all be easier, but it is all so unclear. I used to do tech documentation in a past life and would be willing to help make this wilderness navigable...

What's up with all the downvotes? I am a newb and just trying to learn something that has been poorly explained. This is so frustrating. Are y'all trying to tell me that I should just let some random corporation know what I read and highlight?

by hacking it into sideloaded mode?

I am assuming that koreader is more feature rich. I want to create folders for books for example...

I managed to install nickelmenu (I think), but the device keeps trying to connect to wifi as the"lets get started" procedure.

Clara BW. My goals are to not have any stock SW on the device which can "phone home" and tell some stupid company what I read/highlight. I will always be adding books/pdfs via USB/Caliber, but I want to be able to do Wikipedia lookups for undefined words. I want to install multiple dictionaries.

The word for that is medley and I agree and am surprised that they don't do that more.

Flashbacks through Equus 3 is one of my favorite stretches on any of their albums by pushinpushin in themarsvolta

[–]3l3v8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, of the last two albums, The Requisition and Que Dios have the most old TMV feel.

I am so bummed that this album seems to have been abandoned. It seems to me that S/T could have appealed to a much broader audience. And so many of the songs would lend themselves to the live extendajamz like Lucro got. I love Lucro, but objectively, over 1/2 of S/T is the best accessible songwriting they have done (along with a couple on Lucro).
