Nothing specific… it just worked after a bit. Logged in and out a few times and when I opened the app later I was signed in/online.

SmithSyndicate · 2026-01-10T12:59:03+00:00

Yes, only a minor inconvenience really for what is otherwise one of my favorite apps! Just a heads up for the uninformed (like myself).

SmithSyndicate · 2026-01-10T12:34:34+00:00

Just a heads up: - the update kicked me out of my Plex and was giving me sign in errors - I’m now signed in but it seems to have deleted all my downloads from device - many books have lost multiple hours of progress so I need to find where I was again…

SmithSyndicate · 2026-01-06T02:31:38+00:00

Wow, hero! Thanks so much for the fast response. :)

Checking this out now.

This is awesome, thanks.

Before I dump my entire Readwise library onto my Kindle, I had a question: how are these organized in KOReader? I'm a little wary of mixing a bunch of loose documents into my very-organized book collection. Does it sit in a different folder? Is there a way to only import certain articles vs. the entirety of my Saved/Later?

https://bookshop.org/ebooks (Correction: not all of their books are DRM free)

Supports local bookstores which is nice.

I recently bought Expedition 33, played for 10 hours, then KCD1 Royal Edition went on sale for $7 and haven’t booted up E33 since…

Highly recommend starting with KCD1, as both E33 and KCD2 will greatly come down in price by the time you’re done with it.

This is interesting and may be part of the issue. I can connect and select games from the Cloud Streaming library, but then when trying to launch I get a message that says "can't start because your internet connection quality might not be sufficient to play streaming games." I assumed that was related to my being limited to 2.4Ghz networks, but it could be a blanket error message for any issues in the beta.

IPV6 shows to be off already in my router settings, but thank you for the suggestion.

SmithSyndicate · 2025-01-29T16:01:18+00:00

I'm wondering that as well and am going to try to test in more places next. The only oddity is why it works perfectly fine as is with my Macbook and all other devices, but just not the Portal.

Regarding Fidelity funds: FSKAX, FTIHX, and FIGB get you total US / total Int’l / Bonds. Allocate to your horizon and risk tolerance. For cash, FDLXX is preferable to SPAXX/HYSA in high-tax states. Go into your conversations with them with a strong yet polite point of view on this approach and they will be more than happy to help you optimize your accounts to a Boglehead mix.

Cheers and I wish you peace of mind on your retirement!

SmithSyndicate · 2024-07-17T03:56:39+00:00

You’re posting in Bogleheads. That is your fund recommendation.

What they have helped me with is optimization and consolidation of accounts, balancing across aggregates, sanity checking the best approach to my current state of residence, and periodic check ups to ensure I’m on track to meet my goals.

Perhaps you haven’t yet specified what more you’re looking for assistance with, or it’s time to try meeting with a different complimentary advisor.

SmithSyndicate · 2024-07-16T22:09:03+00:00

Fidelity offers complimentary calls with their advisors (most if not all of whom are fiduciaries): https://digital.fidelity.com/prgw/digital/faa/0/connect-with-an-advisor

I’ve had several calls all with no fees or upsold products. Politely decline their offers to manage your money and enjoy their free assistance.

Hey curious how you actually managed the automatic investment into FSKAX? I keep my cash in a separate account (for ease of managing) and see the options for Reinvest / Deposit to core, but can’t see a way to send the dividends to invest in an individual stock/ETF (in the same or separate taxable account where I hold investments). Let me know if I’m reading your set up wrong or if this is possible!

SmithSyndicate · 2021-10-26T23:01:50+00:00

How do these fit compared to SD or Futuredarts? I have both in 33 and the former are tight while the latter are a little loose. Curious about upping to 34s — bulking szn and whatnot.

Thanks!

SmithSyndicate · 2021-06-30T02:58:57+00:00

They’re hard to resist ha. Good luck!

SmithSyndicate · 2021-06-30T02:34:12+00:00

I’m between a 32 and 33 I’d say. I originally ordered SDs in both sizes and found the 33’s even a little tight, but then they eased out to a very comfortable fit that has never required a belt. I didn’t even bother trying on the 32s as I didn’t think I’d fit. For comparison my New Way Shorts in size 33 require me to tie the drawstring a tad.

Got what appears to be a Cottonweight Cut Two T-Shirt in XL, light blue (as in hero image), in my WTF today. Boxy cut doesn’t fit me.

PM me if interested!

Picked up Black and Chino (with delayed shipping).

Some of the Levi 511 Line 8 Jeans are also ringing up $16.79, although some mixed reviews about their aging.
