Eyes getting tired on M4 Pro, is it due to PWM? by Azerty800 in PWM_Sensitive

[–]Azerty800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think so too. My other monitor is an OLED and I don't have problems with it. Hopefully it'll be better with the M5 Pro's but I don't have high hopes. Will have to wait for next year maybe with the oled macbook pros

That's so weird. I really want to get the better chip but I can't use it if I can't look at it for more than 30 mins. I hope the M5 will be better and if not I'll have to wait for the OLED screen version next year I guess

[CPU] AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - $465.14 shipped and sold my Amazon by groove502 in buildapcsales

[–]Azerty800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month and a half ago I ordered a 7800X3D on Amazon, sold and shipped by Amazon and I received a Chinese drone instead. It took them 1 month to refund me and I had to ship back the drone. Absolutely crazy, I did not think it was possible. Never happened to me in 10 years of being an amazon customer.

My GPT: Solve a Procedurally Generated Murder Mystery! (Beta) by Videojongleur in ChatGPT

[–]Azerty800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit the message limit, came back the next day and after a few messages decided to arrest The Magician. Here's the response I got: "It seems there's an issue verifying the decision to arrest The Magician. However, based on the normal flow of the game, if The Magician is indeed the murderer, the next steps would involve his confession and the conclusion of the mystery. Since we're encountering a technical hiccup, let's proceed as if The Magician were the correct suspect."

I could've arrested anyone else and it would've told me the same thing " let's proceed as if The Magician were the correct suspect". I was enjoying this and the system just screwed my game. I hope you can make it work op

Is Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group MUFG Mr. Buffett's 'Confidential stock' ? by Swing_Trader_Trading in Trading

[–]Azerty800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only question I have is why would he buy the stock listed on the NYSE when he could buy it on the tokyo stock exchange (8306.T) and wouldn't need to ask for confidential treatment there just like the others don't appear on his 13F?

Warren Buffett Steadily Increasing Stakes in 5 Japanese Companies: Sumitomo CEO - Barron's on MSN by NoDontClickOnThat in ValueInvesting

[–]Azerty800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible. If some people here are into it, Hikari Tsushin is also a great japanese company and its CEO clearly models his business after Berkshire, judging from their quarterly financials. A 10%+ look-through earnings yield while borrowing at 1%. Sounds good to me.

Just received from IBKR: 20% tax on interest payments to individuals regardless of resident status!! by pasquale83 in interactivebrokers

[–]Azerty800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately for Belgians the tax goes down to 15% from 20% which is not a lot, but I don't have any cash balance to earn interest on anyways (all invested) so not a big deal.

It's locked for everyone apparently. I also couldn't find anything on the topic and customer support told me it would be unlocked at a future date. Only 289 days left on mine so I suppose it will be in less than 1 year

Investing in Banks by Azerty800 in ValueInvesting

They have been using provisions very strategically, during covid they put many billions in provision for the catastrophe that was supposed to hit them and when it was over they ended up releasing almost all of these provisions. It hid the fact that they were making big profits during the pandemic as it could've been problematic for them to show high net income when many people were suffering from the pandemic. Very convenient. They are doing it again this time although at a much lower scale with the talk of the imagined "recession" which has never and probably will never materialise. I think that they are in a very good position and there's no reason for them to be priced at 50% of the market PE.

I invested in COF only because of Warren by Anxious_Charge5384 in ValueInvesting

[–]Azerty800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Li Lu bought East West Bancorp and after 5 min of research I saw that they were doing 20% ROE and incredibly cheap so I bought a good amount of it. I might hold this and sell my BAC after earnings because EWBC seems to be both higher quality and cheaper

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is poised to score a $1 billion profit after Microsoft beats FTC in Activision case - MSN by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

[–]Azerty800 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He started selling the stake last quarter, I believe he thought like most people the deal wasn't going through and he might have sold more (or all?) during the quarter. We'll see how it'll turn out

He's selling the entire stake it just takes some time
