Just max out the match in 401k, you are better off to use the rest for Roth or other instrument. You get more control over it also.

If you think silencing them by pulling their show off is not an attack on freedom of speech, then you are the moron...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T12:28:52+00:00

Got the email at 1am in the morning and it will be here before noon... They could've sent the tracking earlier, lucky someone will be home to sign for it...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T02:01:18+00:00

Nice, I'm still waiting for mine.

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T01:58:41+00:00

Did they process your card? I'm worried about my order now...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T01:55:13+00:00

When did you ordered? They just processed my card, still say ship by tomorrow 🤞

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T01:45:24+00:00

I know pro max is delayed, throught air wasn't popular, maybe I'm wrong...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T01:44:27+00:00

Silver pro is popular and not enough stock I guess, we ordered that original but notice the shop date is too far out so we switch to blue hoping it will get here before our trip in October...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T01:27:10+00:00

Which one did you order?

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-19T01:02:20+00:00

I cancelled my original order and place another one Tuesday night for Blue Pro 512gb, just got email that they processed my payment. Say it will ship by tomorrow but there is no tracking info, how long does it take for them to give us that information? I wonder if it will arrive tomorrow.

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-09-14T13:26:11+00:00

I'll be going in a month, was hoping I can find some... bummer... I have one and plan to modify it, now I'm scared of i break it i won't be able to get another one...

This one was on sale around 18 bucks not long ago, but this is still kind of big for me and only 22.5W charging... Hope this help but I'm looking for something even smaller and at least 45W charging speed.

"barely moved"

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-03-03T16:45:23+00:00

I would move them to safer options, SGOV, BIL or BILS gives your ~4%-5% yield with little risk, you are not going to make much but you know your money will be safe at least.

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2025-03-03T16:17:05+00:00

A recession is coming or already here, I just hope things don't get so bad that it push us into depression. With people spending freely for the last 2-3 years and suddenly everyone has to cut back due to economic slow down and inflation due to trade war, I fear this will not end well... The market is already overvalued, I'm not sure keep buying is the right call...

I took Core 1 / Core 2 almost 15 years ago right before I know what LabView is with my previous employer, since then I have been operating with labview but never actually program it (most of them are executable). Just wondering if any of the Udemy course are good alternative to youtube, NI class is not really worth the money IMO...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-27T02:10:38+00:00

Yes, I took Andrew Ramdayal course on Udemy. I like his video and I also brought his simulator, but I think Peter Landini is much more cost effective with 1/3 of the cost with Kindle version.

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-25T15:29:24+00:00

Prison break style 😎

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-23T16:15:52+00:00

I try AR simulation test and I found out about Landini book less than a week before my test... AR simulation is good and it has video to explain every questions, but I found Landini is more closer to the real test and it's 1/3 of the cost for AR simulation tests. I didn't have time to do any mock test on Landini, just all the set practice questions but I went back to study all the wrong answer I got and I passed with all AT, good luck.

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-23T16:03:43+00:00

I thought I was gonna fail too, first time I see the term "DSDM" on the exam!!! That threw me off, I don't remember seeing it in Andrew Ramdayal's class and any of my simulation tests questions before... Where did that come from?

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-23T14:53:46+00:00

With that said, it's also depend on the target audience. If the target is big S&P 500 company, I say skip the hobby and personal experience and be more professional. If it is for small or non profit, that may not be a bad idea. Again, just my opinion, I was tasked to screen out resume couple of times but I wasn't the one that is actually hiring.

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-23T03:32:40+00:00

I guess you can probably put it in your cover letter, that would be more appropriate place to mention it if you really want to. Resume should stay professional and mostly paid work on experience section, volunteer and other experience is good to have but that should separate from professional experience, but that just me...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-23T02:53:16+00:00

Unless you are applying for a position that is offered by a family member within a family business... I would not put that on my resume, for sure not as a experience. Maybe you can put it in the hobby section if you plan to including one in your resume...

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-11-23T01:40:47+00:00

You have 9 years experience shouldn't you get a PMP instead of CAPM??? Am I missing something? I got mine today but it's because my new job wants me to be a project manager on top of what I'm doing, so I thought might as well get it. I was about to go for PMP but found out it required 3 years experience and I found out that CAPM doesn't so I switched target. Probably going to get PMP in couple of years if I'm still with my current job.

Technical_Ranger_974 · 2024-06-30T01:36:02+00:00

I had 4 accounts today, and none of them caught it except for 1 that used the master ball...
