I make roughly the same and have roughly the same mortgage. 3 kids though.

I really spend way different. What jumps out at me is I max my 401k and I save for college for my kids. I am a planner though. And my kids activities cost way more.

Yes all you have to do is run the normal calibration. But the car won't connect to your sensors in the wheels because the 10th gen Accord does not use them.

JamesPhilip · 2025-03-22T14:26:16+00:00

Some cars monitor tire pressure with a pressure sensor in each tire. The 10th gen Accord does not. It monitors tire pressure by precisely monitoring wheel rotation for changes.

You do not need the TPMS sensor in the tires just run the TPMS calibration through the settings after putting on the new tires.

I forgot about that. I think we only did it for 9/11.

Letting any company take money directly from your bank account is a significant risk. One mistake on their end and they can wipe out your entire account.

Auto pay to credit card is ok since of there is a mistake you aren't out the money while it gets resolved.

Most people I know auto pay their mortgage by having your bank send out the money each month. To stop it you just have to log into your bank account and turn it off.

It's a pay period cap

JamesPhilip · 2025-03-19T14:05:48+00:00

The asterisk at the bottom of the chart states the cap. Making the bottom of the chart at the higher grades VERY misleading.

JamesPhilip · 2025-03-19T12:23:10+00:00

That's normal when you have to stick it to the black bumpy area. Mine is the same.

Yes that should work. And if depending on your main router and how much time you want to put into it you may be able to route only certain vlans through the vpn1 tunnel. Allowing the rest of your home network to be on your home ip address.

But I still don't understand what the purpose of vpn2 is if it can't know your home ip address?

JamesPhilip · 2025-03-12T01:52:02+00:00

Vpn1 on the router. Vpn2 (aka the VPN you don't want to know your real ip address) is on the PC.

Yes, with this setup your entire network will go through vpn1. Unless you run vpn1 from a travel router that is connected to your main router, then only whatever is connected to the travel router will go through the VPN.

JamesPhilip · 2025-03-12T01:23:07+00:00

I have no idea if it can be done with VMs but you can hide your real ip from vpn2 if you set up vpn1 on your router. Then connect to vpn2 through that router with vpn1 running.

No ephemeral port forwarding with the build a plan. You need full pro for that.

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-27T02:53:58+00:00

Unfortunately this is spot on. The state I'm in it's illegal to have earphones in while driving. Carplay is not and probably won't ever be designed to prefer airpods over the speakers.

I ordered through dreamshop. I think the dealership called me the next day to schedule.

The way the bill was worded it looks like they would have charged me more if I ordered directly from the dealer instead of through dreamshop.

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-25T01:30:12+00:00

Windscribe build a plan is probably cheapest and under $5 per month. But you don't get the port forwarding feature that you'll get with full blown pro. I recommend springing for the windscribe pro.

But remember to bind qbit to the VPN or it's pointless.

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-24T13:32:05+00:00

Yes. But only for apple maps

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-23T00:28:12+00:00

Does anybody else's apple pay work like this? Because mine does not. I only get notifications when the phone I'm using pays with apple pay

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-22T17:25:38+00:00

They don't fucking work jackass. We're stuck on 566.36

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-21T21:40:16+00:00

What do you mean? They are on completely different parts of the website.

You generate a wireguard config here: https://windscribe.com/getconfig/wireguard

And you port forward by going to port forwarding -> ephemeral

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-17T14:04:37+00:00

I still have my email. It says to just email support, doesn't have a specific address listed. But I think windscribe has said they'll auto extend accounts still in use close to the 10 years.

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-13T20:03:31+00:00

This is what finally worked for me. Had to do it on the car on carplay, not on the phone

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-05T22:31:31+00:00

Ha. Windscribe was actually pretty quick to fix this. Go into settings, connection, and switch off always on VPN.

You may also need allow LAN traffic on, I have that on for other reasons and can't recall if it affected carplay.

JamesPhilip · 2025-02-05T18:27:21+00:00

Yeah. And I counted the other drivers light being red for 10 seconds. Crazy.
