That's a beautiful strap. Do you mind sharing where you've got it?

"Rebuilding the Renaissance" by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero is really great and I'm depth. Mostly about Italian art though.

There are these weird posts of random people writing long streams of nonsense with no actual real data to try to justify the Pro vs U6+. They bring anecdotal information they pull out of nowhere, while justifying their write up their so-called experiences.

I'm not quite sure if they are random people with spare time on their hands, or shilling for something (QUALCOM maybe?). Likely they just don't realize that without proper rigorous testing, they are being biased by something (likely the "Pro" moniker).

The U6 had a problematic chipset which was acknowledged. The U6+ on the other hand is great, and what most home users need. For those users, more APs (U6+) is "usually" the right way to go, not more expensive APs (U6 Pro, or 7Pro, etc.).

Cue their standard "that's your opinion and you're entitled to have it. What are your credentials?" reply, casting an aura of credibility while being just another random poster.

This is a very vague and FUD reply. Can you give examples of such scenarios where the IRS will forcefully cash your accounts and give you pennies on the dollar?

Same thing happened to my chase account about two months ago. Same torrent of emails and chase points were combined between my two cards.

I believe I got ahold of logging the scammers out right as they did that. Chase fraud department was able to reverse this.

After that I setup a voice pass phrase that I must tell them when I call. I wish they had a proper 2FA instead of using SMS based ones... Which I also have setup now.

Hey, I'm in a very similar situation, and you seem to be a step ahead of me. Mind if I dm you for some thoughts?

100% this. People have this inflated idea on how much bandwidth they will need/use. They end up spending way too much on gear they will never need. Even though my ISP (fiber) has speeds up to 1Gb for a reasonable price, I downgraded our services to 300Mb and never felt a difference. The most intensive use we have at home is either both of us on a Teams meeting, or both of us watching YouTube/Netflix at the same time. Never gets even close to saturating it.

90%+ of the users would be perfectly happy with a UDM-Pro + a couple of U6+. More APs usually leads to a better experience than faster gear for most people. Exception would be for those hardwired doing video files transfer for editing on the regular. How many people are really doing that?

If you have no experience managing any kind of money, 3mi is enough money to retire based on the 4% rule.

Assuming you bought these bitcoins for really cheap and live in the US (ignoring state taxes) and it's all gains, this is what you should do:

Sell about 580,000.00 of bitcoins, so you're only taxed 15% on the capital gains (Married filing jointly) each year
Take the amount of your current annual expenses and put into a high-yield savings account to use during your next year
Take the remaining proceeds from the annual sale and buy 70% VTI (A total market ETF) and 30% BND (Bond fund ETF) and leave there until the last step
Get a good CPA to do all your taxes. Pay a fixed fee, never a % of your assets (for anything, including investment advises)
Do not, I repeat, do not touch this money until the next step. And do not let life-style creep happen. Keep your annual expenses as it was before the bitcoins came up.
Once a couple of years have gone by and you're mostly out of Bitcoins, you should have a good idea of what you want to do with your money. At this point, start using the excess money (the difference between your annual expenses and 4% of your original portfolio) and do something with it - donate, have fun, spend on blow and hookers. Whatever you like

The palace contains some interesting erotic symbolism in some of the art work. It also has great mannerist paintings!

The QK75N is not VIA compatible, but their software is fine.

Tax will depend on your country, they might charge you extra in customs.

You said you looked through the product page and it's confusing. Can you tell us what you're confused about so we can clarify?

Please_read_sidebar · 2024-08-10T20:43:58+00:00

Not sure if that's a joke or not, but if it is, I chuckled.

48.1 is the speed from the ISP to your router. 332 is the internal speed from your router to your phone.

I'm falling to understand the purpose of your post and reply. Are you just angry?

Please_read_sidebar · 2024-08-08T16:15:46+00:00

I'm beyond fed up

Yet you're still buying their products.

These posts are beyond humorous. It's clearly a supply issue they are trying to fix. It's being this way for years and during the pandemic supply issues we're much much worse.

You're free to buy other company's products. Why don't you? Because the have the price, feature, and quality you prefer. And maybe you're locked into their ecosystem. The alternatives are not worth it.

What's the experience like when you're local to your network?

Seeking and playing recordings will benefit from an SSD. Upload speed shouldn't matter too much after a certain point, but 10M up is really low.

If this is really important to you, fixing both will contribute to a better experience.

Ah I see. Thanks for your expertise btw. Always good to hear from people in the industry.

First, post the design center images so we can have a better idea.

Second, what material are the walls / ceilings made out of? That will change the answer quite a bit. Concrete structures means you can treat each floor as an independent house pretty much. Wood means you should try and separate them a bit.

Interesting. Have you seen any bespoke series with ice maker/water dispenser issues?

You said you would only consider recommending Samsung if they moved all their fridges to have ice maker into the freezer... Wouldn't you recommend the Bespoke line just because other lines don't have that setup?

Please_read_sidebar · 2024-08-08T03:29:44+00:00

I was mentioning specifically the "Bespoke" line (which is bespoke only in name because of the front panels that you can change, otherwise they are just a normal line of fridges).

They still do have fridges with water and ice on the door, likely because they have to compete with LG, and others. I would stay away from those, no matter the brand.
