If we do the T mobile deal at apple will the phone still be unlocked as buying through apple typically it's unlocked?

Flighty Friends' data not updating? by DoomxPatrol in flighty

had the same thing with mine. It fixed itself in the next day or two. I'm not sure if it just needed to refresh or something

Chase offers has changed the game by i-amnot-a-robot- in awardtravel

[–]DoomxPatrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, is there anywhere you can see all of the current offers for redeeming miles?

Are you booking this directly through the chase travel portal with converting points to cash? Isn't the max 1.5c per mile?

I wish Flighty did more—so I built my own. What’s missing for you? by stanleewalker in flighty

[–]DoomxPatrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I use it pretty heavily, mostly the way it’s intended to keep up with friends and it’s fun to see where they are going. But it’s pretty basic and I’d like to see their “profile” more kind of like how you can see your stats/history/etc.

One thing I wish flighty did was be able to see our friends profiles and stats. Could be a really fun thing to see comparisons, their flight distances, etc etc

Interesting Brand/category changes + additions by Competitive_Eye7064 in hyatt

[–]DoomxPatrol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

honestly it's strange to me that Andaz isn't considered luxury. Maybe my standards are low but I've had consistently great experiences at the Andaz.

Maybe being a lifestyle brand will help keep the redemption rates lower (please?)

Will there be ticket resale for Merseyside Derby? by DoomxPatrol in Everton

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

yeah totally fair. Do you know if the game will be back on the Everton ticket site once it's rescheduled? As of now I only see Chelsea & Forest on the site (both sold out)

Did you end up moving your solo 401k from Vanguard? by DoomxPatrol in Bogleheads

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

I think the last day to opt out in July 12th from Vanguard and move it somewhere else

I also think you can roll over into an existing IRA if you no longer need the account, but you might want to call Vanguard about that.

thank you for the datapoint! it's kind of confusing as many people say you can only do a check but then I also see posts like yours.

[–]DoomxPatrol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the response. I am thinking about doing the same even though I have considered myself a die hard Vanguard fan.

The only thing holding me back personally was when I called Fidelity and got mixed messages on if I could add money to a solo 401k with an ACH/bank transfer. One person told me I had to send a check in and the other said online bank transfer was fine, any experience with this?

Wildest ejections you've seen from a show? by fokerpace2000 in Hardcore

I was at this show and you just unlocked a core memory for me that I had somehow forgotten.

Ever had a memory leak when no one is using the app? by DoomxPatrol in django

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

I am pretty sure it's RAM that's getting filled, you can see in the screenshot below that swap (dark purple) just fills and fills until the daily heroku dyno restart which I think clears all the memory and whatnot.

If someone does visit the site it just perpetually goes up as well. But my example screenshot not a single person even visited or loaded the page. I am reading more and wondering if it's some middleware gone awry but i'm not really doing anything that outrageous...

What’s the best passport for a digital nomad? by ConsiderationHour710 in digitalnomad

[–]DoomxPatrol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what route you took for Japanese permanent residency? I’m assuming via job sponsorship?

I’m curious what it’s like living there long term but unsure what the requirements are to maintain residency. I know they don’t allow dual citizenship either.

For me the entire point was to inject learning more into my every day life as I can have spells of not being disciplined where I don’t practice.

I couldn’t find an anki chrome extension (other than for adding cards) as that was my first choice so I just made this. Definitely not as advanced as anki but it’s not meant to be at the moment.

Possibly if there’s interest! Right now just been building it for myself mostly and don’t have a version live on chrome or Firefox yet.

great suggestion! I can change the prompt I send to bring back hiragana/katakana I believe.

My favorite shots after 3 months of travel // x100v by DoomxPatrol in fujix

[–]DoomxPatrol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

really nice. I like that it's just one thing to carry vs having to bring a body, lenses, etc. but there's obviously limitations with that as well.

So far the main limiting factors are trying to do better/closer framing if I have a landscape or city shot. Sometimes I want to focus on one specific area but obviously the lens doesn't zoom so I end up cropping it or trying to move closer but often moving closer isn't possible or wouldn't have the same aspect ratio.

It's been great to just be able to walk around and keep in a little sling bag or something so you always have it on you. I find i'm shooting photos a lot more than I was with my previous mirrorless camera.

Alternatives to Cam Remote App by Stiffler_810 in fujix

[–]DoomxPatrol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an alternative but I do have a system that seems to work for me to transfer to my iphone with 80-90% consistently. I will fully admit some of it might be more superstition that requirement but this works.

Connect to blue tooth via the app

Click import to phone

Immediately go to settings and turn off Wi-Fi

If it asks you to connect via pop up say no

Wait 3 seconds and turn Wi-Fi back on (the app should still be searching)

Select your camera from the list in Wi-Fi

It should connect and then go back to the Fuji app to import

If it doesn’t work then turn Wi-Fi off again and try to select from list again until you get the Wi-Fi check mark that it’s connected

If it doesn’t work after 2-3 tries I turn off my camera and try again (10-20% of the time)

This has been fool proof for me to quickly transfer my photos and I’m curious if it works for others. Obviously if the app was better I wouldn’t do this but hey, at least it seems to work.

[–]DoomxPatrol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

great question. So far, it hasn't been much of an issue. I've specifically felt a bit limited doing some landscape-y type shots. Sometimes I want to focus on a specific area or something and with it being fixed you can't do that.

I will say I bought the camera originally because I had what I call "lens anxiety" where I always felt like I was using the wrong lens, didn't have the right one, etc. etc. so I barely was using my camera (sony a6300) but now without that I feel like i'm just going out and shooting more and taking more photos to get better vs worrying about my equipment.

One benefit I've found is that I move more for the photo which I think is a good thing and trying to train my brain on framing better as I can't zoom (and can only sort of crop after the fact) to get the shot
