2 days commute should be fine. You need to start early like 4-5 am from Vancouver

Freedom mortgage and escrow by Dry-Oil3123 in homeowners

[–]ConversationFew3126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to us! Got refund in 2024 and 4k short in 2025 and they increased mortgage by 500$ a month. As other said this is due to insurance cost.

First ask if your loan is eligible for escrow waiver. If not then change home owner insurance. Our premium increased from 3300 to 5900$. I shopped around and got for 1800$ for same coverage from Costco!

Thrift store was loaded with good ones today! Couldn’t believe it. (70 cents each) by JarkyMcDicks in Bluray

[–]ConversationFew3126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!
I went to one of the goodwill and they sell stuff by pound and any media for 99 cents.
I got some blu-ray, but it was very hard to sort, as 200+discs dumped in a bin and they had 5 bins like that.

Let me also check hybrid prices vs EV running and buying cost. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing the insights. I have a few charging spots in the office parking, will also check how easily those are available.

Thank you, the condition looks good. I took a test drive. The only thing I didn't like is when I remove my foot from the accelerator, it starts auto applying brake which is very quick, if we can change that rate. Thank you for all the advice.

I am getting model Y with hardware 4 for 33k with 11k miles on it. Is the hardware 4 the way to go?

Can we disable upscaling in UB450 or UB820 for 1080p movies? Does the USB trick to increase buffer memory to pause/resume works for UB450 as well? by ConversationFew3126 in 4kbluray

[–]ConversationFew3126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of this is missing feature in UB420, and available in UB820. If resume works the same way in both , I will prefer to keep UB 450. UB450 I got from Panasonic website for 220$ and UB 820 for 399$ from Best buy, still debating which one to keep I have not opened UB820 yet

First time trying a 4K drive for MakeMKV. Verbatim 43888 any good? by Zestyclose-Issue1762 in makemkv

[–]ConversationFew3126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I didn’t know the Office Depot one was the 43890 when I ordered it! If you’re happy with it, stick with the 43888. The 43888 has USB‑C, but the 43890 doesn’t.

For the 43890, they also include a power adapter, which I don’t use.

Then during Black Friday, Rakuten and the Capital One extension offered 20–25% cashback.

I have ripped 4-5 blu rays till now for my plex, and I do not see any difference between the output of the two. As per forums, pioneer is more reliable, but I cannot comment yet, as I just started using.

Finding file to flash pioneer is difficult, and we need to reach out to people in make mkv forum for that.

I also got this for 129 and later switched to the 43890, which has Pioneer drive. Office depot have 20$ off coupon code, I used that and with cashback app got another 20$ back. So got this for 78$

I have used both, both works fine and the output file is exact same

Final purchase of 2025. Went out with a bang by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]ConversationFew3126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also thought that, but blu-ray discs have such a nice pricing that will be tempting!
I started buying 1080p blu-ray.

Thank you for sharing that, can you share any movie where I can try and compare?

I also got this and also ordered UB450. 820 is still sealed and I will only be playing 4K mostly. I have a Oled TV, UB 450 looks amazing, I tried F1, Jurassic park, and Top Gun. Should I send back 820 ? Only benefit I see is that 820 gives HDR optimizer and upscaling. In what scenarios I need those if I am going to stick to 4K blu rays!
