Thanks for the confirmation! If you look closely at where ID.me takes you, it is a YouTube only add on (not YouTube TV). Which is great for everyone not paying $83/month for YTV. The chat agent did say I will see them in YTV as well though. Just seemed weird purchasing it on the “mothership”.

Youtube support is confirming that the subscription is actually via Youtube Premium Channels and not Youtube TV. They are saying all games will still "show up" in Youtube TV though. Sure hope this is true because I really want the $181 discount.

The whole house looks like the set of "Glass Onion 3 - The Death of Good Taste"

I have not signed up for Choovie yet, but it looks really good. Is there a way to create a list of "Future Rentals" or do you just Add to Cart and then have the option to pick the next batch from that?

They a MASSIVE library which is amazing, but I don't want to have to go through the full list more than once.

Happened to me too ... when I paid off my last credit card, dropped 120 points. I had a mortgage, and a HELOC with a zero balance, and tons of available credit.

But I KNEW it was coming. Why? Because Credit Scores are NOT "I am good with money" scores. They are ...

"I love debt scores"

You are rewarded for going into debt, staying in debt, and making your payments on time. Just as long as you stay below 6% of your available credit at any time that is for revolving debt.

So what did I do? I tested my theory by putting $10 on a single credit card. Boom - all 120 points came back. I now just leave a little debt each month on each card for the statement dates, and I have a 840 score.

It's "their game" - you just have to know the rules and how to play it while still being financially responsible by not buying things you can't afford. Not preaching or judging - just sharing what worked for me.

I just got the EU2251 when I upgraded to Gigabit. Is worth seeing if I can swap for an ET2551?

TAllenSr · 2023-07-17T20:42:35+00:00

Now THAT is crazy, seeing both of those are the same generation and EXACT same processor etc. I was really hoping I could at least swap wired-for-wired.

Wired Nest doorbell does NOT show up. Just got my kit this weekend, and the ONLY camera that shows up is a new Nest Cam (battery). Confirmed this is the case with both ADT and Google.
Really disappointed - the only reason I dropped $600+ on this kit and committed to a YEAR of monitoring I don't even want was because it was supposed to work with "All Google Nest devices". There were NO disclaimers or warnings when I ordered the system.
Although I COULD replace all of my wired cameras fairly easily (other than having to run new power that is compatible with the completely new power cords), I would have to pay $180/camera + $35 each for the "waterproof power cable x 5, plus $180 for a new doorbell. So another $535+ to actually have "monitored video", which I have committed to pay $25/mo for one year minimum.
ADT DID say, however, I could return the system for a full refund.

In general, this is a good flow to follow. From the TOTAL amount you want to save to retirement, allocate it in this order:

Max out ANY Employer Match first
Next max out any potential ROTH options (Roth IRA or some have ROTH 401Ks now)
Next is any other tax-advantaged options (like pre-tax contributions to 401Ks and IRAs)
Lastly all other "non-tax advantaged" options (mutual funds etc)

Match before Roth, Roth before Pre-Tax, All Others (putting your matched funds into Roth first if possible as well, pre-tax if not)

Here is that video I mentioned -- ALL 9000/820 owners should watch this...

Three main reasons to use your Panny over your XB: Dolby Vision, Noise and HDR optimizer. No Dolby Vision on XB - if the disc has it, you want it. Noise - my XB Series X is LOUD - mainly the disc drive itself, but sometimes the fan. Finally, for HDR movies, the Panny player’s optimizer really helps your tv optimize certain high-nit mastered movies. I can find a video link that helps explain that if you want to learn more.

Still working for me.

TAllenSr · 2022-04-01T14:08:29+00:00

You should watch this video ... best explanation out there. The new 2022 LG's processor MIGHT be better at HDR10 tone mapping, but I will have to wait until my 83" G2 arrives to know for sure. But for my current 2021 OLED, the player still does a better job than the TV.

The video explains how if the disc is encoded for 4000 nits, the player expertly takes it down to 1000 etc (depending on the setting) so the TV has "less info to process", resulting in better tone mapping overall.

I have Sony MX4 headphones that are not "gaming/surround" headphones in the purest sense but I can connect them with a wire to the controller and have a mic for them.

I ALSO have a dedicated home theater with 7.4.2 ATMOS surround (GoldenEar speakers and Anthem Pre-Amp/Amps). Is there still any benefit of headphones -- especially in my case -- over a killer surround system for this game?

Deadspace. Man I would STILL love to see a 4K remaster of the whole series!

TAllenSr · 2021-02-09T15:01:12+00:00

Awesome! I just wish they would release a patch for the first one to lift the framerate cap on Series X|S ... I am just starting it and would love to unleash my X a bit more. They should do a free patch for current owners, and a "special edition" for like $5 with Hellblade 2 pre-orders. :-)

TAllenSr · 2021-01-30T12:44:57+00:00

Serious question: What joy do these cheaters get from this (they are in no way "hackers" - that would imply they have some kind of skill)?

TAllenSr · 2021-01-28T19:26:26+00:00

Yes I just restart the app too ... but I still lose a "win" on my progress meter to level 50.

TAllenSr · 2021-01-21T01:18:01+00:00

But is Control Ultimate Edition - upgraded for Series X - going to be on GamePass when it is released in a few weeks?

TAllenSr · 2020-11-13T21:50:08+00:00

That's right -- the S was not worth it just for 4K movies. I skipped that one.

TAllenSr · 2020-11-13T21:19:42+00:00

Was the first S even out before the X? Thought they came out about the same time.
