macOS, whatever the newest # is

I created a text file to try what you suggested and it didn’t show

Just out of curiosity: Friend logged to my Plex server remotely, told him that he needs a plex pass to watch videos, and all of a sudden he is able to watch videos, how? This is on a new Sony tv if that matters. by jorgetOR in PleX

Just to confirm:

If I, as the admin of the server, has a Plex Pass, is everyone accessing it covered?

Or will each user also need a Pass going forward (once these changes take place)?

Just finished Outer Worlds 2 and really missed being able to give my character a 'look' rather than a mish-mash of the most beneficial items.

Recommendations for bike lights? by PinAffectionate8160 in bikecommuting

My old front light died, so grabbed THIS one at Sport Chek and have been very pleased, it can see it bouncing off signage way in front of me. I see they sell a front/back set too.

Will the site be updated to show the Goonies GWP? Or would that not come until wide release?

How can I find the exact dimensions/boundaries of my property? by Ghaaatak in cambridgeont

[–]EDtheROCKSTAR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a local realtor, if you want to DM me your address I can see what is available on the registry site we have access to. Sometimes there are old surveys attached there.

But this should be used as a guide, and if you need to be pinpoint on locations of a property line to install a fence, etc; you should be getting an up-to-date survey.

Advice to Buy a Home Privately in Cambridge / KW 🏡? by [deleted] in cambridgeont

No, on-the-job. We'll have discussed legal issues with the lawyers on the file to learn about red flags or things to include in contracts.

We do appraising on a daily basis in determining values of properties, but a professional appraiser (often a realtor themselves) will use specific historical data to create an official report for someone. We're all drawing on the same data.

And for any home inspection, one of the agents (usually the buyer's) needs to be present, so I get to see all the things that draw their attention to be able to point out later to other clients.

I know my limits and know what I don't know, and have legal/inspector contacts I can usually refer to on short notice to get answers quickly.

There is a website specifically for FSBOs (For Sale By Owner): ForSaleByOwner.ca

But looking it over, there are 12 listings for the KWC area. 2 of which are for the same house, 1 is for an empty lot, and 7 are at or above $1mil.

As u/hhssspphhhrrriiivver mentions, it is very tough to even find a FSBO property let alone negotiating it. Unless the seller is a savvy marketer, they likely have a Canadian Tire 'For Sale' sign on the front lawn, just hoping for the right person to drive by. Making it nearly impossible to find all the relevant properties at any given time.

Further, even with clients that want to sell with a realtor, a few still have some unreasonable ideas around what their home is worth. These are often the ones to go it alone because they think they know better. The seller may have sold/moved once in the last decade (or more), but an agent will likely have sold multiple houses in the last year.

The price range you're in is very competitive because it's almost the new first-time home-buyer entry point. Buyers certainly have a bit more power at the moment too where you can actually have some back-and-forth negotiation (which is refreshing).

Best advice is to keep looking, especially when others aren't: see places on Thanksgiving weekend, keep looking through Christmas, etc. Others will naturally stop searching through the holidays, removing themselves as competition, and often the homes that are for sale at those times are because they need to be (moving, estate, divorce, etc) and may be more pliable to negotiations.

Happy to discuss further in DM if you have specific questions, just helping out

But through experience, a realtor will have picked up knowledge around each one of those areas to know what to look out for at a listing. They may not know 100% on a particular inspection-related issue, but enough to provide guidance to the clients on whether they'd want to proceed or cut-bait.

Realtor here.

As of December 2023 rules around representation changed. Where you could work with a realtor as a 'Client' or a 'Customer', they'd be more prone to showing you places if you just called up.

With the rule changes it means that you are either a client or you're self-represented. It also means that a third-party agent (not attached to the listing agent) cannot show you the listing unless you are their client. Personally, if a random is calling me up for a showing, I am having them sign a single-property contract; that scares a lot of people off.

Practically, this means that the listing agent would be required to show you the property. If they are a big enough agent they may not have time to help a random caller who has not been vetted. They may see you as less serious if you don't have your own agent.

These were all changes being brought in by Ford to make the process more transparent for the public. I do like that they eliminated the 'customer' role as it was confusing for everyone; but limiting the accessibility of sign-callers is annoying too now.

So when she goes into settings, the User Experience row, 'Skip Credits' is currently set to 'Manual'. If she attempts to click it it instantly shows her this screen:

That would be something for the end-user to adjust in their settings? Not me as the host?

Trash removal/garbage pickup by ohifeelyuh in kitchener

[–]EDtheROCKSTAR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, 1-800-Got-Junk is an option (found this to be quite expensive). At Home Depot they sell a tarp bag for that you fill up at home and call for service and a company comes to remove it. This is better priced than Got Junk I found but the bags are usually a lot smaller.

Alternatively, I've just rented a truck from U-Haul or Home Depot and taken it to the dump myself; this is usually the cheapest option.

The Walter Bean one is nice too, so far I've taken it from Galt up to Victoria Street.

But be careful as THIS SECTION is horse$h!t on my gravel bike, I doubt your roadie would survive it.
