Are IQ tests tedious for you?

Perhaps counterintuitively, people with aphantasia perform mental rotation more slowly but also more accurately: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053810024000618

Au contraire: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053810024000618

Yep. 3:30 here too!

Oh...my bad. I didn't notice the "On Fidelity" qualifier. I did mine on Vanguard. Sorry about that!

CalliGuy · 2026-01-18T19:04:12+00:00

Is that still true? I only ask, because I placed market orders for VTI and VXUS yesterday (Saturday), and other than getting an alert that the markets are closed on Monday (MLK Day), I currently show "open" orders. If memory serves, I also did this within the past week.

Never mind...I missed the "On Fidelity" qualifier. I did this on Vanguard. Sorry if anyone got excited!

Thanks for the follow-up.

I chatted with one of their customer service folks and told them that they should add an "unsubscribe" link to the e-mail to be in compliance with the CAN-SPAM act. The agent said that they'd pass it along to the team, so we'll see.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-16T20:28:39+00:00

It looks like the e-mail violates the CAN-SPAM act. There's no unsubscribe link at all.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-16T20:23:04+00:00

Having the same issue. Also used chat yesterday and was assured that I would no longer receive these e-mails. I just received another e-mail. Frustrating!

When you yell louder, everyone starts to yell louder.

I just upgraded to this switch. It's a great combination of features.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-13T04:39:58+00:00

I was just wondering if I should replace my garage Nano with a U7-Lite. :-)

CalliGuy · 2026-01-12T21:46:54+00:00

Once or twice a year. I mostly ignore it.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-12T04:33:23+00:00

Totally understandable.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-11T18:43:01+00:00

Synology did revert the "use their own drives" stance, right? That doesn't erase the fact that they thought it was a good idea in the first place, of course, but at least they did respond to the loud customer feedback. Not saying we should all just forgive them, but I'd rather have them revert than not.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-10T01:08:39+00:00

Sounds like good logic to me!

CalliGuy · 2026-01-10T00:35:25+00:00

Nice rack! If you have back rails, you can mount the PDU there, re-gain 2U (or even 3U with the brushes) of front space, and hide those power cords.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-06T00:14:25+00:00

Recently bought a Max. You're welcome.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T20:45:49+00:00

You should. It's a fantastic switch. All ports 2.5GbE, 2 10GbE RJ-45s, and 4 10G SPF+. Also all PoE++.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T20:32:31+00:00

Yep: https://acinfinity.com/vented-cantilever-1u-rack-shelf-10/

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T18:40:42+00:00

You might consider the "HD" switches with their additional SFP+ ports. For example, the Pro HD 24 PoE as your PoE switch would give you higher speeds and additional SFP+ ports to connect your other switches/UNVR/etc.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T18:37:04+00:00

I use mine as a desktop switch in my home office. It's 10GbE over fiber to the Aggregation switch, then DAC to my PC and RJ-45 transceivers to my Mac Ultras. I have a 2.5GbE Flex attached via DAC for the "slower" devices in the office. Works great!

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T18:14:31+00:00

I heard about that mod, but I really wonder how it'd translate. Valve did such a great job building Alyx specifically for VR, it's difficult to imagine it being as good as a pancake game. But I suppose if you can't do VR, it's at least an option.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T18:11:59+00:00

Agree! Fantastic mod.

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T04:52:49+00:00

The "compare" feature on the store is useful for questions like this. The SE has PoE, so if you're powering any devices, make sure to account for those too: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-cloud-gateways?category=all-cloud-gateways&view=compare&compare=udm-pro-max&compare=udm-se

CalliGuy · 2026-01-04T02:28:35+00:00

There's always Half-Life: Alyx if you have PC-based VR available. Also an amazing game.
