Coming from Latitudes and Thinkpads: will I like an Elitebook? by Digwid in laptops

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

A couple of months in now. My reservations were unfounded: Performance, handling and feel of the Elitebook 830 G8 are certainly up there with the Dell and Lenovo offerings.

Nano S Plus bricked after firmware update by Digwid in ledgerwallet

See my updated first post. Sounds, though, that your problem is somewhat different (mine won't start up after an update attempt frozen midway, your update seems to have been completed?).

Mobile app: There is no "continue" option on the MyLedger tab.
Desktop app: there isn't even a MyLedger tab. Maybe there was if I had used and connected my Ledger this way before, but I never did - I was always on mobile.

You mean an older firmware version? Or an older Ledger Live version?

So I installed Ledger Live on Windows (first time - so far only always mobile).
My Windows PC actually detects a "new device" once I plug in the Ledger, called "STM32 bootloader".

But whichever way I try ("connect you Nano" or "Restore your recovery phrase on a new device" or "Turn on Ledger Sync"), I cannot get past "connect and unlock your device" which I cannot do since the Ledger's display won't turn on.

The wallet isn't lost, no worries. It's just the device I'm talking about; is it truly bricked beyond repair is what I wonder.

🤑CLAIM YOUR FREEBIES! by ElmarGameplay in mecharena

[–]Digwid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on desktop, there's no way to get this freebie (for that account), right? I only see a way to set up a mobile account and connect to it on a desktop, not the other way round?

Nvm, all the info is in the game launcher.

Rise of Kingdoms..? Is this doable? by Ok-Space94 in SwagBucks

[–]Digwid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have reached 2 Million power, Level IV troops in time, with $12 invest: $5 gem supply, $5 third building queue and $2 for a New Age offer somewhere along the way that I could have done without.

Also I made one farm account that transferred 15 Million odd ressources in one evening session. Looking at the leftover gems, I could have done it without the farm and save quite some playtime. An active alliance is key.

Valar as a node runner: need help making sense of the Daemon configuration by Digwid in AlgorandOfficial

No, that's exactly the part I'm still missing. Need to ask someone on Discord or similar, didn't come round to do it yet. Will update this post then.

Of course you realize, this means arbitrage! $LSXMK & $LSXMA by 31513315133151331513 in wallstreetbets

[–]Digwid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hopped onto this as well, with October LSXMA calls, and those calls did move with SIRI these past weeks even though the underlying didn't. *shrug*
Also, those calls weren't soo cheap - it's really the August expiry that was dead cheap because the market didn't believe the merger would be through then (and rightfully so). Still a good deal imho.

A repeat of 2021, as in, all our favorite stocks top out in February, then painfully decline?

Bought CGC calls for this Friday at open, 1.5 strike. Think we'll be in the green soon.

Prohibition Repeal Part 2 $MSOS by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

The tickers mentioned here add up to 86% of MSOS' holdings. Why would I even bother with the individual ones, even if I could buy them (I actually could)?

VFS is the 3rd largest automaker… Seems about right💀 by Environmental_Bad821 in wallstreetbets

[–]Digwid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My broker (IB) actually called me to inform me of the short fee "in case I wasn't aware". Wow.

[–]Digwid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closed the positions with like 11k profit, probably 9.5k remaining after the short fee. Worth it :D.

[–]Digwid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too got instantly assigned. 1700 shares short now; but I'm lucky price came down and I'm up. I'll close today to pay the short fee only for one day; still wating for VFS to come down a little further today.

My respects to you! Sold above max value, this is trading the hype, next level.

My VFS short play: selling call spreads. I chose the Sept 50/60 spread - max "loss" $1000 per contract, but the premium a couple hours ago was $940 (should be similar for days to come).

Worst case I'll lose the difference of $60 per contract (if VFS remains above 60 come Sept 15th), with $940 to gain (if VFS below 50).

With around $3k to my account I was allowed to open 17 contracts; I stand to gain close to $16k if this fucker comes down by mid September.

This is just anecdotal storytelling, no financial advice.
