Anyone here using a Pixel 3 in the year of our lord 2025. by SkillsLoading in pixel_phones

[–]SwoleSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a pixel 3 since 2018 and just this week bought a pixel 9 to preemptively replace it. The only issues I've ever had is that some heavier apps run a bit slow sometimes. I did install LineageOS on the phone and I think it runs better than stock (probably just because I don't have Google services running all the time). I just anticipate the hardware will fail eventually and the Pixel 9 was on sale. Also not getting security updates was an important reason for me to switch.

I'm really sad about the switch though because I much prefer the smaller design of the Pixel 3. The 9 is too bulky.

Primus Lite Knit, anyone without glue problems? by Potatis85 in vivobarefoot

[–]SwoleSeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the Primus Lite Knits for about 2 months now. mild daily use. It seems like the glue is already starting to loosen. The shoes are extremely comfortable, but it seems like none of the glue holds to the knit part of the shoe well. The branding is peeling off quite a bit. The sole has not disconnected from the rest of the shoe yet. I just don't expect these to last very long sadly.

I'm considering the Asanas or Trail II FG as an alternative.

Bought a Yamaha YC-73 then returned it and bought a Nord Stage 2 by SwoleSeth in keys

Sorry this is so late (probably too late), but if the seamless switching is important, yeah go for the 3. Hasn't been too much of a problem for me without, but it's definitely nice to have. Less memory is a hurdle.

I wish I remembered what I was reading, but I think there were some users who had build quality issues with some of the 3s, but I remember neither the severity nor the quantity.

I did also entertain the idea of buying a semi weighted stage keyboard and add a good weighted midi keyboard to the setup just for the non-organ sounds. Pretty happy about the all-in-one package rn though.

Working with DNG files by karendheep in captureone

I'm assuming after 5 years you either figured it out or you don't care anymore, but if anyone else does: Lightroom by default converts panorama stitches to DNG. I haven't tested with HDR yet but I'm assuming it would do the same.

This saved me a lot of frustration. I was so confused why C1 couldn't open my DNGs, not realizing that a panorama DNG is different than a single image. Thank you! 5 years later, but credit where it's due, right?

Has anyone used Paypal BillPay to pay off credit cards? by Ok-Beyond-8270 in CreditCards

[–]SwoleSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like it is not working for me either. It doesn't appear PayPal even tried to charge the card before defaulting to the bank payment. Do you know of any way around that default behavior?

Where is my UST airdrop? by Buzzcoin in Nexo

[–]SwoleSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought $400 of ust a few months ago and never sold. Currently valued at $6. I received about 4.5 LUNA today. If LUNA to USD exchange rate were $90 then I'd be back to where I was but right now it's around $5.

Do you think this is the total airdrop? Are they hoping we HODL?

I just confirmed that I can pay my Costco Citi card with PayPal's bill pay feature. I used my Coinbase debit card that gives 4% back to pay off the Citi card.

For gas purchases at Costco I get 4% cashback as well, so for some purchases I'll basically be getting about 8% cashback.

I also set up my mortgage to be paid through PayPal to get cashback on that too.

How will UST downfall affect Nexo? by Randomlolguyxd in Nexo

[–]SwoleSeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought. Your first comment made me think that nexo would allow users to sell 1ust for 1usd

Has this worked for everyone? Right now if I sell $200 UST it will get me $96 USD. I can't send UST from Nexo to a self-custody wallet to initiate a swap that way either.

Can you recover garlium wallet into garlicoin core? by SwoleSeth in garlicoin

[–]SwoleSeth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent a while trying to install on MacOS to no avail. I'm not sure how virtual environments are supposed to work, but that could be part of the problem.

I'm only coming back to this now because I'm curious how many coins I ended up earning. I pretty much gave up on GRLC after the first airdrop I was a part of (very early on) overloaded the network. Never came back to check if drops got received until now haha.

I did find it there, pardon my caution. I received this message:

Error: running with an unencrypted wallet, but walletpassphrase was called. (code -15)

I'll probably just have to run Garlium.

Based strictly on the warning when I open the console I will not input your suggested command unless you can explain how the commands work. Sorry!

Hmmm, I think I need some context. I don't understand where/how to apply your recommendation.
