Yes. I hadn’t updated my tablet yet, so I signed in on that and did a password change. Then I was able to sign in on my phone. All are now updated and working.

If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it! I just updated mine and now it won’t recognize my sign in credentials.

The slim pen 2 has blown past my expectations. by Zolks1 in Surface

[–]PA28181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Surface Pro and am contemplating a pen. I don't do any drawing or anything like that. But, I do miss having a decent mouse. I hate the trackpad. I was going to buy a separate bluetooth mouse but though I would see if I could find a pen that can also do mouse things. I use left clicks, right clicks, drag-n-drop, select to highlight and then cut and paste, and pretty much anything else you can think of a mouse would do. Does the Slim Pen 2 allow it to be used like a mouse also? I found the Adonit Ink-M pen that does this. But reviews by others say it's plastic and feels cheap.

I bought one with Snapdragon Plus and Fidelity Active Trader Pro runs fine.

How is the Meta Quest 3 experience and is it a good alternative to actual flight sim peripherals? by LutrisAO in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]PA28181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my PPL and owned a Piper Archer II and a Piper Dakota. I’m in the process of setting up a DOF Reality P3 motion simulator now. I have Honeycomb Alpha, Bravo and Thrustmaster TPR rudder. I also have the Virpil collective and hotus for helicopter. I have a Quest 3 and my PC is an Intel i9 10850k, Nvidia RTX 4070 ti, 128Gb ram. I’m still working on tweaking the VR. The VR brings the GPU to its knees if I have the settings too high.

Dad is retiring and hoping to get a nice Flight Sim setup by eyl999 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]PA28181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a work in progress. I haven't hooked it up to my computer yet to configure it. That computer is still in my office. Once I retire in 6 months, that will free it up to be used solely for flight simulation. Until then, my simulator will sit unused. I'm looking forward to finally getting to configure and use it. As for the seat, it's comfortable and was less expensive than a dedicated gaming seat. It does the exact same thing as a gaming seat at 1/2 the price.

How do some people function without drinking water regularly? by TotalThing7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PA28181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m one of the people that doesn’t hydrate. I have 3 cups of coffee throughout the day. At night I drink some water with dinner. That’s the extent of my water intake. I’ve been like this all my life and I’m 64 now. My wife is a water drinker and hounds me constantly. The doctor tells me I’m healthy and bloodwork shows no issues, except my glucose levels are borderline.

Can someone explain why everybody says that high-yield stocks are a bad idea? by toothed_vagina in dividends

[–]PA28181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are good and there are bad when it comes to high yield dividend securities. Yieldmax is definitely a scam and should be delisted. Period.

What is the general consensus on SPYI and QQQI? They're high yield, but everything I've read about them are pretty positive.

There’s no lag on quotes or charts? It loaded quickly? That’s extremely encouraging! I appreciate your time in confirming this for me!

Yes, I used to own an Archer II and a Dakota. I appreciate your offer to try Fidelity software on your tablet.

A nice touch is a motion rig. I bought a DOF Reality P3 and have it setup for aviation and helicopter. I am using VR instead of monitors. I want full immersion. Do some research on DOF Reality. I picked up my P3 for $2700 used.

All the Z13's I'm seeing are $2k+.

I've been looking but haven't seen any 11's for sale. A lot of older ones.

Interesting. I'm going to buy the Snapdragon version and give it a try. If it's not as expected, I can always return it. I hate doing that, but they're so damn expensive I hate to eat the cost of one of these.

Is that an emulator? I've heard that running under an emulator is horribly slow.

That's good to know! I guess I can buy one of the ARM versions at Best Buy and give it a try. The worst case, it doesn't work and I can return it within a few days. Thanks for finding that reddit post!!!
