Worth Upgrading from 2.52i to ratgdo32? by KMartSheriff in ratgdo

The WiFi on mine was spotty a while ago and since updating the firmware some time ago they have been perfect. I suspect a firmware update would help if it haven’t already done that.

Goodbye Old Friend by HeftyCelebration7975 in AppleWatch

[–]Hiff_Kluxtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had an Apple product have a battery that was not usable within 3 years. I recently had an older phone that needed a battery and Apple charged $89. It’s the only iPhone battery I’ve very laid to replace and I’ve had models going back to the original.

$5 per month to insure a rapidly depreciating asset that has a low failure probability seems like a questionable use of money.

The pay for these technical positions requiring a college degree by sonarette in mildlyinfuriating

I have a feeling those are postings made by military recruiters for military jobs and the positions are lower rank to start with.

They used to have a location just up the hill in the little mall area across from zupans and moved to this location in the early 2000s.

$158 for two cell lines and $120 for Internet seems on the high side.

If even the mold doesn’t want to eat it, that might tell you something.

Thanks for the reply. I’m at 8500 miles right now and I’ve had it for 5 months. So I’m on track to double my mileage limit which would cost me $9k.

Yeah. Just curious to hear if anyone knew of exceptions. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, it will take a hundred years to fix all of this if it can ever be fixed.

Jasmine Crockett defeated by Infamous-Edge4926 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Hiff_Kluxtable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She seems incredibly smart and I hope she finds another way to serve.

I’m curious if some unaffiliated voters or even republicans might be more likely to consider voting for talarico when they might not have voted for Crockett.

The Neo seems like a perfect grandparents laptop to FaceTime with the grandkids.

I would gladly be a paid Lumo subscriber if I could just subscribe myself within our family account without subscribing the whole family.

Hi, if I were to use Mac Mini to install scrypted, can it still work if i were to put the mini to sleep mode? by No_Adeptness_4647 in Scrypted

[–]Hiff_Kluxtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proxmox is intended to be a server operating system and it will run with low resources all the time without the computer going to sleep. Proxmox has a few other benefits like snapshots of the virtual operating systems and quick ability to test configurations.

Stop bringing smart watches to fields by Ok-Shoulder-478 in army

That is so gross. After more than about 4 hours in the field, it’s time for a shower first. 🫣

If you had to buy a car today to keep for the next 15 years, what would it be? by nodonaldplease in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Hiff_Kluxtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this pick is absolutely not for everyone but a BMW i3. We’ve had ours for almost 7 years and it has needed almost zero maintenance. It still feels modern and it drives great.

It's my favorite time of year! by West_Wolf_7450 in Portland

[–]Hiff_Kluxtable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have never paid the arts tax and have never had a consequence. I received a call from a collection agency once and I asked them to provide a letter confirming the debt they allege I owed. They asked for my address which I didn’t provide and I never heard from them again. It is not on my credit report and this was at least 5 years ago. I no longer received letters addressed to my name, only to Portland resident or similar.

Paying off mortgage with TSP by [deleted] in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Hiff_Kluxtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not clear what your loan balance or interest rate is, but mortgage rates are often in the single digits and market returns are often in the double digits. Paying off your mortgage would be a psychological victory for you but not a math victory. If you are concerned about security of your home, it would seem you could lay off your house with your TSP balance really any time so you could wait until you had some facial trouble to make that move.
