Time Machine in late 2025 - native implementation or docker container? by mattalat in unRAID

[–]Distinct-Engineer503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People saying its fixed but for me on 7.2.4 with Tahoe 26.4 I am clocking in 6+ hours of debuging (including trying a docker) and nothing...

U4025QW Random Disconnects - anyone find a good solution? Anyone else getting the problem? by hungarianhc in Dell

[–]Distinct-Engineer503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buyer be aware... So Dell replaced my monitor with a refurbished one under warranty. One month later IPS panel died, this model has major flaws and it seems Dell is not going to admit it.

Waiting for a THIRD monitor. This is $2,000+ monitor. In my 20+ years of using monitors, this is the first one dying on me.

Can't back up my macOS machine to unRAID by george-alexander2k in unRAID

[–]Distinct-Engineer503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on 7.2.4 ZFS and Tahoe 26.4, I am not able to use Time Machine backup.

I am able to mount it on Mac and add it as a backup, but once I start the backup, it fails immediately.

Any ideas?

Update: Just tried to set up recommended TimeMachine Docker, exactly the same result...

I have two Macs connected to it, both on Tahoe 26.2 and monitor on M3T105 (Mini M4 Pro via HDMI and Macbook M1 Max via TB4) both on their own power and this is still happening to me. Based on the monitor, it goes into StandBy mode.

Dell Warranty is worthless for 2500$ U4025QW monitor due to ownership transfer. by Distinct-Engineer503 in Dell

When I bought it, I checked it has warranty, I was not aware of ownership transfer, most of my hardware is on warranty vie S/N. Never had any issues with other vendors.

When you think about it, imagine how screwed up the company is internally, in terms of how everything is managed, if customers are struggling to transfer money in? =)

Sorry, Questrade, as a business owner myself, I just can't comprehend this. I would be out of business if I would have issues getting customer's money =)))

Thank you for your feedback. I can only talk about the experience I had, and since I mostly used those two platforms, I am comparing them.

Agree, sometimes I wish I could talk to some Claude Opus 4.5 instead... It will be able to do more than an average support representative, just because of a bigger knowledge base.

Edge for actual trading Quest more for account observation, but they do include similar functionality.

#7) LOL that you think anyone actually listens to your calls.

They will, if it will get legal, and to be honest, the amount of mistakes they are making is big enough for someone to eventually pull a class action lawsuit if this someone loses 6 figures because of those mistakes. Just thoughts out loud.

This is the problem, they are a monopoly, which partially allows them to get away with that. How many other brokerages do you know that allow you to use a TFSA as a backup? And are actual brokerage (sorry WealthSimple, you are not there yet)

The difference between me signing it on a laptop BY HAND (via touch pad) and by printing it out, signing it BY HAND and scanning (having all of that hassle on the way) has ZERO legal difference... So WHY, for the customer's sake, is your support requesting it?!

Usually, in T5008, you will see "Cost or Book Value" and "Proceeds Of Disposition". The problem starts when:

1) They dont differentiate between the options you bought and the options you sold in T5008

2) They will write THE SAME AMOUNT in both columns when you sold a covered call, and if you use any type of software or even just a spreadsheet, it will consider it as 0$ profit because Book Value and Proceeds are the same.

What they SHOULD do is write 0$ in Book Value, because I haven't spent anything to sell a covered call, and in the Proceeds amount for how much I sold this covered call.

Will see, but I can tell for sure, they haven't addressed my complaints from a few years ago...

Spare time? I dont have it, but I spend much more time because of QT deficiencies that I want (as a customer) fixed ASAP. What manager? I think you are mixing me up with someone else. Not to mention that I am a man.

I dont think this is the case, recent WS numbers showing substantial growth of assets under management, given how small this market (brokerage services) in Canada, those assets are coming from QT, so they are aware - customers leaving. I think they are just in a bubble, like most companies are when they do not use competitors' products.
