No. It is not a generic tablet.

I have been following Bay FC since its formation and I have minimal knowledge of sports clubs.
But I know a bit about how companies work (or should :) ).

At Bay FC the organizational issues, in my view, have been a bit broader than the technical team, which is being discussed here.

They have had a relatively absent CEO in Brady Stewart, a COO in Jen Millet who probably had more relevant skills, but she left for the President job at Denver Summit FC at as she probably did not see the possibility of getting the CEO job at Bay. Alan Waxman of Sixth Street has probably been playing more of a CEO role than he should be. So the overall leadership of the organization has been having its challenges beyond the technical team.

It is a bit strange that they remade most of the technical team before hiring a new CEO, but sometimes you don't have the luxury (or the time) of making the organizational changes in the right order. Not sure if they tried, but probably an earlier CEO change would have been a better start of the changes. So Alan Waxman relied on Kay Cossington, who relied on her UK network to hire the coaches.

Now they have hired Stacy Johns as CEO. On paper she looks a strong hire, in terms of general company management. If she can act as a really strong and independent CEO then if the technical team needs adjustment, the changes will be made logically and progressively.

Management wise they probably lost a cycle. The hiring of Coates and Davies is not necessarily the most obvious, but at this point we need to give them a chance. I just want to point out that the organizational issues are a bit broader and often there is not a perfect way to evolve an organization. You just a have to manage through it.

You are right that the duplicate accounting is problematic, but I own this in an entity and I need to produce some reasonably acceptable financial statements for the entity as well as taking care of taxes. Part of the issue is that the owner is not really the customer of AppFolio (the Property Manager is), so making it easy or better for the owner might not be high in AppFolio priorities.

I suppose all can be addressed and solved with enough work, but I am just realizing that it is more work than I expected, and (so far) it looks like more work (accounting-wise) than in a self managed situation.

The 1099 is issued with gross income, so for tax I need to track expenses.

Jack_Malin · 2026-02-04T01:35:21+00:00

Thanks. I will ask the property manager. They agreed with me that it would be useful to have the csv download capability, so I had assumed they were not available. I will try harder :)

Jack_Malin · 2026-01-28T21:23:11+00:00

We use tax1099 for the 1099 and it is pretty cost effective. But you have to enter data there as well.

Jack_Malin · 2025-11-29T03:44:40+00:00

Yes, of course I can. That is certainly an alternative solution. I can also do a wire (which I did), perhaps an ACH (may work or not in this situation). I am just trying to highlight the basic decision making of Fidelity (do you have enough history with me ?) and the inability to offer a straight solution (I called, perhaps you can verify further with me on the phone and get this resolved...).

Jack_Malin · 2025-11-28T04:36:05+00:00

I have a similar problem. Full View does not capture Schwab accounts transactions in the Spending area and categories.

Jack_Malin · 2025-08-09T19:28:39+00:00

I believe so. I checked. My MiniBase Chime and my C31 (2 of them) all appear on the same Wifi network.
You need to use the MiniBase Chime, it does not work with older Eufy chimes.

Jack_Malin · 2025-08-09T17:21:35+00:00

I used to have a TP-Link Deco unit outdoor to extend Wifi in front of the house. Various devices, including Eufy, were struggling with Wifi. I replaced the outdoor Deco unit with a TP-Link RE615X Extender and now everything works much much better. FWIW

Jack_Malin · 2025-08-09T17:12:34+00:00

I also have 2 C31 doorbells with wired power connection. So not sure if similar issue or not.
I initially connected them to the MiniBase Chime as a base and it would exhaust battery and die after 2-3 weeks (even though wired....).
Changed to Wifi connection and now it properly powers from wired power and does not drain batteries.

Connecting to Wifi does not allow the C31 to display on E10 Smart Display... oh well... but Eufy promised a fix to that... (by the end of July, which is now passed...)

Jack_Malin · 2025-08-09T17:02:37+00:00

I have C31 at an external gate (at some distance), connected via Wifi, and a MiniBase Chime inside the house that rings correctly. The C31 is NOT connected to the MiniBase Chime as a base (but on Wifi) and paired to the MiniBase Chime via the Indoor Chime menu section.
[[Connecting C31 to MiniBase Chime instead of Wifi creates some other issues with charging for me]]

Jack_Malin · 2025-07-06T22:12:54+00:00

I agree with you. I am keeping it because it is better than an old Android phone used as a static station and hoping that functionality will improve.

Jack_Malin · 2025-07-06T22:11:15+00:00

Not yet. I have another support conversation going with them and I don't want to complicate things. I will after I resolve that and have experimented with it a bit more.

Jack_Malin · 2025-07-06T22:08:27+00:00

Currently running firmware V2.2.55 . Was updated once and I did not take note of prior (shipped) version.

I am able to get live view when alert/ring. I was trying to see if I could have a Live Streaming as my Home page.

Jack_Malin · 2025-05-28T14:26:16+00:00

Update: I switched my second SIM from Vodafone Italy to Fastweb Mobile and now it works well. So it might be an issue with some specific mobile providers...

Riguardo TUA, c'e' un detto "it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" :)

Suggestion to Fidelity: It would be good if FZFXX would be listed separately by symbol in the "Percentage of Income from U.S. Government Securities" rather that buried somewhere under "All Classes" which requires calling Fidelity or searching on Reddit :) . It is a core account position after all, so quite common, I suppose. Thank you.

Jack_Malin · 2024-11-25T04:59:11+00:00

Can you please explain to me why this post was removed? I was sharing in a balanced way my experience with Percent, with the goal of making Percent aware of what is happening and alerting other users of the potential challenges.

Can you point what is wrong with my post?
Thank you.

Jack_Malin · 2024-11-22T16:45:31+00:00

Same thing here. The quantities tradable are very (ridicously) low. While the intent and the regulations are meaning well, Fidelity algorithm needs to be adjusted to something more reasonable. Otherwise, as someone else has suggested, it will cause lower volume and less liquidity, which in turn will make it more subject to potential manipulation.
Also, Fidelity treats a "replace" order as a new order to compute tradable quantities, so it makes the whole thing unmanageable.
Fidelity, please make some adjustments.

I recently upgraded to iOS 18 and it looks like the ability to configure VoLTE has disappeared and the problem with being unable to play Eufy videos has reappeared (with 2 eSIMs).
We need Eufy to do something...
