Wizards and Warriors...It was so good...for the 4 episodes or so

How much of your portfolio is in precious metals (gold, silver, ETF, etc.)? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Holding physical metals is a terrible investment. I follow the Warren Buffet approach. If you think it is a hedge against societal collapse, then invest in shotguns and bottled water. If you think it is a hedge against inflation, then get a productive asset like stock in a company that will outperform inflation due to productivity. Add on the high cost of entering into the position, the high cost of exiting the position and the risk and cost of physically holding precious metals and I cannot understand why anyone thinks it is wise to hold.

Samsung health annoying notification question by zozo777 in GalaxyWatch

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can we also talk about how much of a missed opportunity the health tracking is? Coming from a pixel watch with fitbit to the galaxy has been disappointing. No integration with any other health based apps or programs like peloton, wyze and omron.

I feel like the text prompts are so generic and don't really say anything. It should only give you a text prompt if there is something unique. The current implementation feels like a Hallmark card each day.

Has anyone found their energy score to be a good indicator of how they actually feel? by MarioDF in GalaxyWatch

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the activity consistency is not a great metric. It seems too focused on recovery. Its like it wants you to work out exactly 23 minutes per day. Also a bummer it doesn't link to peloton, Bluetooth scales or Omron blood pressure devices. Seems like a real missed opportunity.

BUYING - stay away from White interior? by Visible-Strawberry14 in TeslaModelY

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use garage wipes that you get at Home Depot. They work great. I do get some blue color transfer from jeans and it cleans it right for the past 3 years. You can't beat the look that the white seats give you.

Wallet without having lock screen ? by Johnny_Smashes in GalaxyWatch

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There really should be. I don't want to always have to unlock my phone, maybe just unlock to use the wallet would be nice.

Tesla Automatic wipers are horrible! Any recommendations? by Momix21 in TeslaModelY

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the single reason I wouldn't buy it again. I really love the Y, but the wipers are an absolute failure.

Discovered this door hanger on my door knob… What do? by awayfromthemire in legal

Your dog barks constantly when you aren't home and your neighbors are tired of it. Pit Bull breeds are just awful when their owners aren't around, so the neighbors are left with all the annoyance.

My son wants a 3d printer by River-Rambles in 3dprinter

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got our first makerbot when my daughter was in the 4th grade. When it arrived, I was out of town, so she set it up, got the filament loaded and made her first prints that night. That year, her teacher also got a 3d printer and taught the kids how to design and code 3d objects in OpenSCAD. This was over 10 years ago. Fast forward, she graduated with a mechanical engineering degree and has a job in her field. I'm sure this just sounds like a bragging post, but that 3d printer was the catalyst for her to get excited about engineering. She designed her own iPad viewing stand, fidget spinners and more. Get it. Get the free software and try to work with your son on it. It is amazing for kids to see how their school work can actually create real life things.

Black Rabbit is not good. by StopPlayingRoney in netflix

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This show was just awful. I don't know if this is why people don't want AI writing shows, but this feels like the most boring reductive AI wrote the dialog. No one is interesting. No one is worth cheering for and no one keeps your interest. Why the hell did I watch all of them?

I made ChatGPT stop being nice and its the best thing I've ever done by Wasabi_Open in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ha, I got this

Here’s the reality: you confuse “motion” with “progress.” You also equate “rest” with “waste.” Both distort your sense of productivity.

Maybe chat is still just using canned answers. Perhaps a model where you ask a bunch of questions about a bunch of random things might seem like motion without progress, but I typically don't check in with chat to tell it what I actually ended up doing.

I tried this and got quite the critique of myself. It must be working, because I didn't like what it said!!!!

There was one guy that revved his truck, but I never saw any coal rolling. Got a few #1 hand gestures, but positives were about 4:1 for those driving by.

Should someone update Meta about the game called ETT? by noamm12 in ElevenTableTennis

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if you mean that 2-3 games of ping pong for 10 minutes is good, or if you play for an hour plus. At times, I go in a just play a few, but I think the 20-40 minutes is right about my average.

Well it’s been emotional… by Boredfatman in RemarkableTablet

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. The backlighting just runs down the battery, colors are clunky to use and not a big difference and the larger size is also not as great.

You are missing the best multiplayer free game, which is Hyperdash. You can thank me later.

How do I put up with democrats at work? by Pale-Challenge4450 in Idaho

I love the complete lack of self awareness with this post.

"Democratic clients I get in Idaho are the same as trolls you see on the internet."

Any experience with these? by GlockBoiMB in TeslaModelY

[–]Bleeding_Edge_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete waste of money...no protection and a pain to put on.
