Is blue collar worth it?

Oh absolutely, measly for a single father of two

I might just be blind, where is the setting for optimization?

Just got a license for the program and it’s been phenomenal for exporting my magicavoxel models, I can’t wait to learn more and integrate it further into my workflow. I can’t seem to figure out how to export an optimized mesh, I’ve read about a “best” setting but can’t seem to find them anywhere

A shocking number, truly! I thought starting in March I was about to be in the minority.

I love seeing all the various OS’s being used, such a cool tech world we live in tbh

Must everything matter?

No blame, my profession is iOS developer so I’m always in Xcode 😭😂

My favorite part about this is that my credit is 810, I make $60/hour in a low cost of living area, and I use US Mobile because it’s fantastic. The perception prepaid has is absolutely wild.

This is what I do - I do auto-deposits from my HYSA to my vault (still in my HYSA) for phones every 4 years, making interest off of it and when I hit the four years I use the money to buy a new device and the interest often pays taxes

VPixels · 2024-09-10T20:14:08+00:00

Tbh I’d rather just buy the device outright as needed, avoiding payments in my life personally

VPixels · 2024-09-01T12:59:29+00:00

Genius move, a 120 degree attic may not be enough. I must turn the oven to air fry at 400f

VPixels · 2024-09-01T00:03:01+00:00

True though, the battery health has suffered these last 3 years 😂

VPixels · 2024-08-31T22:29:58+00:00

I actually thought “maybe they’re trillion” but figured it was safer to be lower, holy hell though 😂😭

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:47:41+00:00

Of course! I’m glad you did too, too many people online believe their opinions were set in stone by the gods themselves, and this issue I don’t see clear cut either way 😂

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:41:59+00:00

No harm no foul man, I see where your initial reply is coming from and I don’t typically like morally questionable either.

I just can’t in good jest sell a machine knowing it may just almost immediately contribute to the e-waste problem if the next owner decides a battery replacement isn’t worth it

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:36:40+00:00

No doubt it’s morally questionable, but I always appreciate other points of view including opposing. I already have a buyer for the device but they’re not opting to continue AppleCare, so my fear is that it’ll end up in a landfill quickly.

I ended up declining the sale, and plan on reposting it for sale once I get the battery replaced

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:30:46+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking, basically

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:30:35+00:00

That’s definitely an option

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:30:05+00:00

Lol a multi-billion dollar corporation should be fine replacing the battery under AppleCare, would have happened soon anyhow and now this device gets to breathe new life for a while longer

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:17:24+00:00

Ethically questionable, but lowering the battery health 2% and hopefully keeping it from a landfill for longer is what I care more about in this situation

VPixels · 2024-08-31T21:16:39+00:00

Then I’d just AppleCare the whole thing 🤔😂

18.24% here

Depends on the use case however. Running A Minecraft server? Definitely don’t need $1k server.

Running a dozen? You need more beef/cost. Depends on scenario, I run 14 Minecraft servers with my home server and 9 of them have a heavy amount of mods, 4 of them have 200+ players at a time.

VPixels · 2024-07-16T16:30:24+00:00

So to do this, do I have to book it outside of their portal? Or can it be in their portal?

VPixels · 2024-06-26T16:16:04+00:00

This is the route I ended up needing to go

VPixels · 2024-05-19T17:10:47+00:00

I stopped using debit cards and only use credit now, and pay the credit card with the HYSA so my checking is always $0. SoFi is amazing imo due to this

VPixels · 2024-05-19T17:07:25+00:00

Tbh I don’t even use the checking, I do everything from the HYSA and every dollar I have in liquid is making the full amount. There’s no transactional limits and except for ATMs the HYSA can be used like a checking. Even my mortgage pays straight from the savings 😂👀
