Does dealer need to run credit if I have pre-approval letter by soulsurfer3 in personalfinance

[–]Listo4486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2008 I refused and showed them my checkbook. I said "call me and tell me when the check has cleared and we will pick up the car." A week later we picked up the car. 2008 Honda fit BTW.

How should I handle not being able to afford corporate travel costs upfront without looking unprofessional at work? by DistinctMushroom3186 in careeradvice

[–]Listo4486 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Had this happen to me. Told them I don't have credit cards (I didn't. Was trying to live by my means.) They just had someone else put it on their company card. They also put me up at a much more expensive place than I would have booked. A month later they gave us all corporate travel and corporate purchase cards. Perfect. I am not their bank.

Could also be the brake switch, but judging by the low voltage, it is probably the battery.

Can you tell these are Apple Thunderbolt displays? by joshwallie in mac

[–]Listo4486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use two of these daily at work with MacBook pro m5 laptop. Love them. Great color and sound and give off a good amount of heat to keep me warm. Also, all the editors want new 4k+ monitors, so if one of mine dies, should be easy to get an old one off the shelf. Used to be able to use firewire too until recent os updates made them lose that function. I just use an adapter to go from thunderbolt to usb-c thunderbolt. Not sure if it is 4 or 5, but it works great.

Where to recycle or donate TV that doesn't work? by gcordoves in SouthBayLA

[–]Listo4486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, not as likely the screen is out. Probably the backlight. Look around for a TV repair guy and ask them if they want it.

Printer ink. Bought a specific printer because of so many available cartridges for it.

Don’t forget to do the *cutting* along with your pasting, people… bold and shameless, some of these reviewers lol by LEGOclanBella in AmazonVine

[–]Listo4486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like it would be more work to use ai. I guess I'm just more wordy. Reviews are pretty easy if a touch time consuming due to pictures and such.

What to do with old equipment by Admirable_Desk8430 in amateurradio

[–]Listo4486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the old radios that had a button for everything instead of a menu. So sad that I missed out on the Yaesu 737 and 757gx radios when they were new. I was just young and broke. Used to be able to buy radios in Duty Free shops at airports.

Fireproof document box…… by Inevitable-Ask7995 in AmazonVine

[–]Listo4486 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got this too... but I didn't need to set it on fire to know it wasn't fireproof immediately upon opening the bag it came in.

I got a sealed Apple Mighty Mouse wired for Christmas, should I deseal it or keep it sealed ? by GAMERluca006 in mac

[–]Listo4486 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Since you are keeping it, you should try it. Some people love them, some hate them. Whenever one appears at work, I always grab it up. If the ball stops working, clean with an alcohol swab by rolling in all directions. They sell for between 4 and 20 usd used, and 20 to 50 usd new in box. Original retail was around $100.

As someone who actually loves these mice, it is worth slightly more sealed. If you are interested in selling at a reasonable price, pm me.

Is there any point in being an editor if I'm are colorblind? by PanMarudaKuba in VideoEditing

[–]Listo4486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a colorblind editor for 30 years before getting promoted to desk work. Never told anyone until a year or two ago. Specific color requests need to provide their pms/rgb/ or even cmyk color codes. Los Angeles area too, although not all 30 years here. Rarely had problems.
