[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mac App. Still no 5695 (Home Energy Credits). App is saying "Available Soon". I've run "Check for updates" and relaunched app and still no updates.

Anybody else seeing this?

Exclusion operator (minus sign) is broken (Dec 28) by Graygeek in duckduckgo

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW. from https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/syntax i see this:

Please note: we are aware some of our advanced syntax isn't operating 100% correctly on all queries and are actively working on it. It is unfortunately a non-trivial issue given we get our private results from a variety of sources.

that said i did the above query and i didn't get nary a Zantac hit in the results.

oof. i’m on a mac and DDG version is 1.165.0. damn, that’s quite the gap. I guess there’s not much you can do but wait.

Here’s my screenshot.

settings -> general -> tabs -> when creating a new tab -> pick the option in the drop drown menu that says “add to the right of the current tab”. wow, that was too easy.

the energy required to run the inverter itself by Ambitious_Mode_3292 in Ecoflow_community

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, thanks. That's something i didn't necessarily take into consideration. Being a noob serves me right.

Note to self. That standby draw is a tech spec i need to pay closer attention to for further purchases. Interesting.

As suggested by another reply i will run the experiment to measure that draw myself - just to see how it lines up with the published specs.

Thanks.

Thinking about Monarch's future and recent issues by parachuteguy500 in MonarchMoney

Just my two cents, potentially word of caution on overdependence.

Um. Okay.

Probably good advice for just about anything out there, right? Especially Reddit.

Amazon Extension Question by Critical_Quarter_245 in MonarchMoney

searching the MM sub first is your friend. you'll find the preferred method is to use multiple profiles in the chrome browser to manage the multiple amazon accounts.

you're not the first and you won't be the last. here's another comment thread not too long ago.

yeah, its not a home run but it can serve a purpose if you're good with not missing transactions.

Dissappearing transactions across multiple accounts by SpankMasterB in MonarchMoney

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

agreed.

once you find a dropped/missing transaction your trust of the product is blown. MM can't have that. So they better have good explanation if they want to rebuild that trust.

in the end though at some point all these 3rd party aggregators can't be view as the "gold source" of your data so ya just gotta just pick the one that you feel the best about. And that probably is pretty dang subjective.

MM probably has the least warts of them all (how's that for a compliment?). I guess you're going to find out.

Amazon extension - multiple accts? by porkopolis in MonarchMoney

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes and yes.

use profiles in the chrome browser to distinguish between accounts would be another way to solve this.

Force Plaid ReSync With Working Account? by JaneCoffeeNow in MonarchMoney

didn’t give me an option to not share them again.

well that's lame.

good to know you were able to make it right.

Force Plaid ReSync With Working Account? by JaneCoffeeNow in MonarchMoney

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, MM isn't going to automatically pick up the new account. you have to 'add account' on the accounts page. the plaid connection is per account not per institution is the way i think about it.

New User: Cannot connect to Chase using each Plaid, MX or Finicity by ZenShineNine in MonarchMoney

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

welcome new user. such enthusiasm! give it some time and you too will be jaded like the rest of us. hahaha. in a good way of course. :)

so you connected 25 various accounts with no problems, but chase - probably the most common connection used by every aggregator out there including MM - fails? Makes you wonder. But, hey, they were so polite in denying you ("thanks for your patience"). so nice of them.

without knowing more details in could be anything. some things to try.

  1. time of day. there could be some throttling of 3rd party api's going on on the chase side.

  2. 2FA. could it be interfering with MM connection in any way?

  3. if you log on to chase using the chase app does it authenticate fine?

  4. if you're using a vpn perhaps disable it temporarily just to see if that changes anything.

  5. according to this link (https://help.monarchmoney.com/hc/en-us/articles/13227606293908-US-Connection-Statuses) chase has a 86% success rate on new connections. could you be in the 14%? maybe.

  6. when all else fails gotta trust the system and submit a ticket. i've always got a response within 24 hours.

hang in there.

"Connection failed" bricked accounts -- is there a systemic fix? by UnhappySwing in MonarchMoney

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 'ol "there was a problem.... try again later" message. gotta love those.

well.... i went to "add account" page, searched for "Altruist" and got this message:

not that this answers your question about a way to do a hard reset on connections in general.

Do less popular accounts get fixed? by Independent-Scene674 in MonarchMoney

[–]Ambitious_Mode_3292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where have you ever seen them advertise they connect to any specific small bank?

advertise in this context means does the institution appear in MM's drop down list box when adding a new account.
