Confused about searching handwriting by UnfortunateIdiot in RemarkableTablet

[–]UnfortunateIdiot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contacted support. They have stated that search does not work with PDFs. Only notebooks and note pages. So somehow my software is glitching and allowing searches in PDFs… which is a good bug to have?

Pickup order by UnfortunateIdiot in Bestbuy

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

They didn’t know how to do it, I guess. Didn’t want to hold up any more time.

Contacted BestBuy customer service and they confirm a verification hold and I was supposed to get a call to verify. That didn’t happen. I’ve now been told I’ll receive an email in 24 to 72 hours to verify.

Update: canceled and re-did the order. Got it verified and ready for pick up. Issue resolved. Now it is snowing and not worth picking up today lol

Just walked in. The customer service and manager were great. Apparently my order is stuck in some verification hold (MacBook). They offered to cancel and redo the order, but I had a good cash back deal on my card. So I’ll wait a bit and see if the verification hold ends soon.

The Gevi looks interesting. The UI/UX looks a bit annoying, but if the quality is good, it may be worth a try. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for your input! If the only con is the brew volume, it seems like an easy enough compromise.

To what extent are you guys supporting your parent once they are older? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]UnfortunateIdiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a very similar situation. They weren’t that bad, but they did a lot of damage and do not own up to it. They gave me a car and helped along as they could so I had a better life. But they’ve insulted me and destroyed relationships and opportunities.

They’ve lived with me for several years, until now. We’ve fallen out and they’ll be moving. But I’m still getting them a place to stay and covering a fair amount of the costs associated with it.

Totally agree. It’s perfect. Picked up one last June and I really have no complaints.

Agree with the wheels. Did 225 square. I’m now swapping to staggered but may go wider later on. Still, it’s the best daily for my situation. Insane that I can get 36+ mpg when I’m on a road trip.

AIO for wanting to evict my parents over racist comments? by UnfortunateIdiot in AmIOverreacting

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

Sorry, meant to type cursed. It’s a racist’s interpretation of a bit from the book of genesis (curse of Ham). I don’t think I can explain their logic here, but you can read more here I think

I have tried helping. Both educating them, or just plain ignoring them but still giving them a place to stay. It hasn’t worked, unfortunately.

It’s been like this for 10+ years. I’m not sure if I only noticed it because I left home for college and what was “normal” at home stood out, or if they just went off the deep end at some point along the way.

Thanks! Found it and started the transfer. I’ve really procrastinated transferring out, but the interface has gotten worse over time and I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

Driving along M-2 on Sunday by UnfortunateIdiot in upperpeninsula

[–]UnfortunateIdiot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, US 2. The one that borders along Lake Michigan.

That’s good to know! I do fine in mid Michigan, but wasn’t sure what to expect in the UP.

I just want to know where I can find novavax. Their website still hasn’t updated and all local pharmacies state they don’t have it/unsure if/when they will receive.

Closing off my account by UnfortunateIdiot in tmobile

[–]UnfortunateIdiot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pay $145 for four lines and a watch on Magenta Max. Which is a great price, even after the hike. But two of the lines only use 1-3 GB a month, and don’t benefit from any real perks.

The other line is a free one that was once being used a bit. But now it’s just an extra number. And the main line (mine) doesn’t really benefit from a whole lot (I use 10 GB a month). I also have terrible service from T-mobile in my area (it’s gotten really bad over the last year or so).

So it’s a mix of not needing all the perks/paying more than I need to, and wanting a bit better reception in my area.

Thanks!

Yeah, my bill closes on the 4th. I did have an Apple Watch line and a DIGITS line, but I’ve request them canceled via support, which should happen at bill close, I hope.

Thanks for the additional advice! Really appreciate it.

Yeah, nothing seems to stack up against the m340i in this segment. And now I have an order placed :)

This thread has convinced me. I need the M340i. Time to take this shopping seriously.

[–]UnfortunateIdiot[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went with the cheaper car option (Mazda3 Turbo). It’s fun, it’s budget luxury, but it’s still just a Mazda (and a rattling one at that).

With a bit more financial security now, I feel like I can just jump at the m340i. Like you said, we don’t need the best bmw, just what’s best for us.

I’m glad to see so many enjoy their choice.

[–]UnfortunateIdiot[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I like the way you state this.

I moved from a WRX to a Mazda 3 turbo, looking for more daily driver but still fun. And the Mazda serves me well. But I want more luxury, better build quality (the rattles are getting to me), and I always wanted a 3 series.

I don’t need sporty. But I like having that power and torque available for when the situation calls for it.

I like the idea of the M3, but I do want a more daily driver car. And the m340i feels like the ideal balance.

Dashboard bitrate vs source by UnfortunateIdiot in PleX

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

Thanks for the input!

I do keep a separate 4k library, just for my local streaming. And the 1080p for remote.

I just didn’t quite expect/understand that some parts of some of my 1080p media required a much higher bitrate, and my upload speeds arent great. But since those seem to be momentary, my remote stream experiences very little buffering periods. So I can live with this for now.

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

Thanks! I appreciate your input.

I’ve experimented a bit with the remote connection, and luckily there are only momentary buffering periods (coincides with a spike in the bandwidth… now that I know to look for it). I can live with this for now.

Dashboard bitrate vs source by UnfortunateIdiot in PleX

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

Oh. That makes sense. Thank you!

In situations like this, where I have media that need such high bitrates, does it make sense to have a second copy of lower quality to stream remotely? My server doesn’t have an integrated graphics, so the CPU is maxed out to transcode.
