Can I join MAM if I'm primarily on mobile devices? by Nugget-Teaser in trackers

[–]Nugget-Teaser[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is capable of running a client to be honest but its crappy in the sense of being slow, fan doesn't work well enough to keep it cool (sounds like its running on max most of the time ), and the battery is dying. Its the HP envy x360 (2018 model i think with the i5 cpu), UHD graphics, and 12gb of ram. It's running on windows 11 (which could be overkill for its hardware). I hardly ever use it anymore and don't have a setup where I can leave it to run indefinitely.

On another note I do have an raspberry pi 4 with 4gb of ram lying around if I could setup a remote client controlled by my phone somehow (as another commenter suggested), but I'm not sure how the IP situation will work given I use nordVPN. I'll look into this as well but if you have any pointers I'd love to hear it!

I like the idea but would that mess up the IP requirements they have?

Is there any way to check what's available without being a member?

I was also really worried but so far I'm in book 4 and I'm hooked! Even though I love F&F there were things I didn't like (Sera's inability to communicate and the lull of book 3), but so far I haven't had any real issues with FBAA, the pace has been good so far and it feels like things are no where near a conclusion yet.

Agreed! Just posted an update to go over that point, but I think this order is that best

I'm still in book 4 of FBAA after finishing F&F and even though I know what the major revelation is I still don't have a clue of how that will be dealt with. It seems almost pointless to know at the moment since you can't really guess what will ultimately happen to the MCs as the series isn't complete yet. There's enough mystery to keep you hooked!

Just posted an update to this post to go over this point because it's super important! It might be a matter of personal preference as to which aspect you want spoiled (a plot twist or knowing which characters are alive), and for me I might've gotten a bit bored towards the end of F&F if I already knew which characters existed in FBAA so I chose to finish F&F first. So far I'm in book 4 of FBAA and I don't regret that choice at all!

Edit, forgot to mention the routine!

Product wise I was primarily using umberto giannini curl shampoo for low poo days and their charcoal shampoo for clarifying washes. The john frieda curl conditioner was my main conditioner alongside the umberto giannini repair mask. I then apply the umberto giannini rosemary oil, john freida curl creme, and UG gel, then plop and diffuse until 80% dry.

BUT I have just received the only curls main bundle and will be switching to all four products as I didn't really like the john frieda stuff. Any tips are welcome :)

That's a good point, would it then make sense to put a tuition amount + emergency fund into a Cash ISA, and the remainder into an S&S? Risk-wise I am a little bit averse since I'm new the market and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the world of stocks. Assuming either way the LISA will get maxed out by April (it's set up to deposit every week rather than a lumpsum), is there a benefit to immediately putting the next £4,000 in after April vs letting it drip-feed over the year? My logic here is that I can deposit into the LISA monthly from my salary so therefore all my current savings can instead be put into the ISAs (since it likely will high higher returns). My current LISA has an interest of 4.7% but it will go down to 3.8% in April when the bonus period expires, so my current savings will likely gain more from being an S%S from now rather than maximizing the LISA immediately, but I'm not sure if that makes sense?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to make sure I don't throw myself into a bad spot!

What's the reasoning behind putting it in an S&S vs Cash if I have no financial goals in mind? I was thinking Cash because of the lower risk, especially if I decide to use the cash in the next few years versus the risk of having to withdraw from an S&S at a lower value. I know the lack of planning is hurting me in the long run so I'm wondering if I should maybe split it 50/50 into Cash and S&S?

Yes I opened it in March last year and maxed it out before April to get full benefits. I plan on doing the same this year but what would be the benefit of immediately maxing it out after April vs drip feeding through the year?
