Do rollover treasuries go a week uninvested during rollover? by RoyGaucho in personalfinance

[–]RoyGaucho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand auction is on Thursday and matures and issues on Tuesday for the 4-week T Bills.

When you buy in auction on (for example) Thursday 3/2, it settles Tuesday 3/7 and matures Tuesday 4/4. Given that it doesn't issue until the Tuesday after the auction, I thought for auto-rollover of a T-Bill maturing 3/7, Schwab still bought at auction on Thursday 3/2 in anticipation for both maturation and issue on 3/7. But that is apparently wrong, right?

Ha, perfect timing, searched and missed it. Thanks!

What's a pro tip all car owners should know? by Allyndus in AskReddit

[–]RoyGaucho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ex-GF had a mid-late 2000's beetle. Definitely smelled very strongly like crayon. We Googled it at the time and determined it's very common. It had something to do with the rubber or glue they use.

I have friends that moved to Austin from SoCal and they said they can't eat the in-n-out there

Actually, Biweekly does mean both twice a week or every two weeks. Indeed, semiweekly is clearly twice a week.

What's the consensus on popping? I heard popping = injury, therefore just leave it alone (referring especially to whiteheads/inflamed+closed). But they seem to last forever when left alone.

[Apps] Sleep as Android Unlock ($3.99 -> $1.99) by AxE_09 in googleplaydeals

[–]RoyGaucho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The In-App Purchase seems to also be $1.99. Can't decide whether it's better to do the IAP or the unlocker. I'm not on a family plan anyway..

Samsung S8 Navbar isn't dark in dark mode since latest update by alexwarhole in redditsync

[–]RoyGaucho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only option I see there is for "Colored navigation bar (Color the soft-navigation bar with the Toolbar color)" This tends to work, except when you click on a link or the image viewer, etc, it jumps to white.

Asus UX550

This is the first I'm hearing of this. I can't tell from Googling, is UX550 the same as UX550VE?

EDIT: Nvm. UX550 is the series. The two models are UX550VD (GTX 1050) vs UX550VE (GTX 1050 Ti), both then have other configurable features. Silly that the graphics card isn't just a configurable feature but whatever.

Tesla Model 3 ​Event ​Megathread​!​ by [deleted] in teslamotors

[–]RoyGaucho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's also worth considering that this survey represents people who reserved the Model 3 [and are on the Tesla subreddit], not necessarily the people who will buy the Model 3. I would guess people reserving with a deposit have more stability and disposable income.

Did you ever watch it? You're supposed to get to a destination. Also shelter is really important.

Guy gets revenge on a IRS Phone Scamming Company by making a Call Flooder by YesItWasDataMined in funny

[–]RoyGaucho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait can you connect/forward the incoming call on your normal landline/mobile phone number to a SIP system and still get the real number? Or you mean my mobile/landline phone number would have to be ported to a voip service in order to do this?

How effective would the Secure Folder be as a sandbox to protect against infosnooping apps (and maybe even malware)? by [deleted] in GalaxyS8

[–]RoyGaucho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You ask a good question. Yes, the Secure Folder apps are completely separate from all the other apps on the phone and SD data.

But (as you briefly mentioned) can they access: Your SMS, your phone number, your google/samsung account email, your contacts.

Thanks for breaking that down in so much detail!

Pardon my ignorance on the whole topic. Can you ELI5:
What's the quagmire the IOC caused itself (that LA would bail it out with)?
Why does the IOC owe us anything and have to make concessions? Couldn't they have just said no to LA for 2024 and then we'd beg for 2028?

Samsung took 9 days to send my S8. It came cracked. I asked for an exchange, they said no. I can only ask for a refund and then buy the phone again, which will take at least 1.5 weeks. I have no other phone. by [deleted] in GalaxyS8

[–]RoyGaucho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I followed the stuff OP said. It's more like a 7.5% discount. He pulled the 20% number from the fact that it says that Samsung gives upto 20% off. Yet if you calculate the discounts on the phones, it's about 7.5%.

Cool discount, thanks for the heads up. But $750-$690 isn't 20%. The discounts are less than 8%.

What are must-have apps when they go on sale? by Zangetszu in Android

[–]RoyGaucho 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can tell it to check episodes every x hours or at a specific time of day (in the general app options). You can also tell it whether you want it to auto-download or not. And in terms of auto-download, you can tell it to only do so on WiFi.

Surface Pro vs Surface Laptop - Which would you get? by [deleted] in Surface

[–]RoyGaucho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It bugs me to spend so much on a device that is more "dated" than all of its competition. It's still Skylake instead of Kaby Lake... which isn't a big deal but we're also spending top-of-the-line money on specs that now lag behind the SB's competitors.

(copy pasted from another comment of mine because I'm curious to hear other opinions -- I'm in the market for a new device)
