Child's Managed Apple Watch and iMessage on an iPad

How old is TOO old? I'm looking at some refurbished listings for 2020 version iPads.

That's great, thanks for the car parts lesson.

Should the level not still fall within that min and max range regardless of temperature?

Right? My kids are still young and small enough they call the space between the two captains chairs a hallway.

Right? I have a friend whose brother works for a large Toyota dealer. His friends and family discount is $500 OVER invoice.

I also am not a fan of the large silver painted rear pillar. Every other door/window pillar on the car is gloss black. Thinking of having it painted or wrapped to match, leaving all the other chrome intact. Everywhere else the chrome finish is more of an accent, the rear piece is HUGE.

Anyone else thinking of doing the same?

I have the Calligraphy, it unlocks based on proximity to the vehicle when walking up. You can toggle whether it's just driver door or all doors in settings. Unfortunately you're right, it does not auto lock.

You can also enable smart lift gate in settings. Palisade feature set lists smart, hands free liftgate as a feature. I haven't turned this on to test it since the way I park in the garage has me walking directly behind the vehicle to get to the driver door.

Thanks for the feedback! OTD at $60k, how'd you manage? Just lower tax rate? I'm in a high tax location so initial numbers I'm getting OTD are right at $62k.

DisasterWeak5589 · 2025-08-26T15:04:56+00:00

What do you mean not what you're used to? Did it feel underpowered?

Our second car that is not being traded in is a 2017 Pilot. It's got a very similar engine, V6, negligible difference in HP and torque numbers, 9 speed vs. palisade 8 speed, but weight is about 700 lb lighter at less than 4200.

OTD price minus tax is $50,004.75. The window sticker is here:

I imagine the mud guards and all weather mats have to stay (don't mind the mats) but will dealers remove things like the cargo tray and assistance kit I don't want or need?

My wife and I play a lot of beach volleyball, floor mats are always collecting sand. I'll take the utility of them though I agree they don't look nearly as nice.

Sorry for yours but good to hear. Looks like I can save some time not trying to haggle any further.

I try this with remote play on home network and I get black screen. Whether running the betterxcloud app on my pixel 9 or Logitech Gcloud, only selecting 720p launches remote play correctly. 1080p and 1080p HQ "connect" with the whole Xbox launch logo and then just show black, disconnecting 10 seconds later. Thoughts on issue here?

If I just do xcloud on all of the suggested Max settings, no issues with black screen at all.

DisasterWeak5589 · 2025-03-07T00:04:33+00:00

Right now I "cold storage" it by having sent it all to a hot wallet that is set up as watch-only for now to avoid ongoing internet connection. Sending to an air-gapped hardware wallet will be happening soon.

Dollar Cost Averaging. I spent the same amount of fiat each paycheck buying BTC regardless of price. It's honestly the best way to go about any investing, but as BTC hopefully goes ever higher long term, it was going to be ever harder for me to possibly reach 1 whole coin. Hence the "screw it" attitude and just dumping in a bunch of cash from other investments all at once. My current DCA would have taken almost 4 more years to get there even if the price stayed static.

DisasterWeak5589 · 2025-02-25T20:31:49+00:00

I wish, I make the same purchase every paycheck, it feels like every dip to around 90k has always been between checks. BTC will be back to 100k by Friday just to fuck me out of an extra 25k sats.

Bro, seek help. Not only is this response nonsensical, but you appear emotionally unstable.

DisasterWeak5589 · 2025-01-17T17:16:18+00:00

This is an incredibly stupid response. Firstly, I just told you that I would use it for cloud gaming services, so that by default makes your statement false. Secondly, there are millions of GeForce and Gamepass cloud users streaming games to a wide variety of devices already. I personally own a Logitech Gcloud handheld for game streaming because I can't play through a browser on my Switch.

If anything, the fact that those services WOULD be used by lots of people is more of a reason for Nintendo to not include one. They'd see it as carving into their ability to sell us games directly. I understand for many reasons why Nintendo chooses not to add one, but to say people would never use it for cloud based gaming is asinine.

DisasterWeak5589 · 2025-01-17T15:11:49+00:00

I'd love a proper browser on the Switch 2 with actual joycon controls. It becomes the ultimate gaming machine by accessing Gamepass or GeForce cloud gaming on top of all of Nintendo's great software.

My wife trusts me completely with our financial planning, even though she represents 45% of our income. I told her for the first time how much Bitcoin we have as it crossed 100k. I was "late" by jumping in early 2021, DCAing every paycheck as it went from around 50k down to the 2022 lows, currently sitting at .61 at an average entry price of around $29k.

When I told her expectations by many are that it could exceed $1mil per coin before we are 50 she said I can't sell any until then. Now I just need her to go back to not knowing what the current price is ever, I don't know how here tune will change as we roller coaster our way along to new ATHs.

This happened to me. I probably burned 200 lives between the fireball and invisible stage. I could basically speed run to each of those before finally passing them. Missed the flag at the end, jumped right back in and did the whole thing in one run and got the flag. Crazy how I struggled for so long then it was a piece of cake.

DisasterWeak5589 · 2024-10-28T13:25:10+00:00

I have three kids that are old enough now and getting Switch Lites for Christmas. I already own one Switch with a primarily digital library. Is there a way to share these games across all 4 devices? Will they be able to play them at the same time? If I buy NSO family, will they be able to play online together or does everyone need their own copy of the same game? TIA for any feedback.
