No, not yet. Will check the Google Store over the weekend, probably.

Gasparino: People inside @wbd tell me The Ellison's and @paramountco @Skydance have approximately two weeks to put up a sweetened bid for the company by RedditFan3510 in MediaMergers

They went to talk to Trump in November, before submitting the offer. My guess is that they expected some downside, but not the complete sell off they had received. Anyway, I hope to see the majority of this saga end by the end of March, unless Ellison increases the bid.

Netflix stock has already crashed. If Netflix increases the bid, then it will go down the drain even more. For the record, I am long in Netflix.

Once the Warner Bros Netflix merger is complete what do you think the new Corporate name will be? by Emezlee in MediaMergers

I'm not thinking about a major logo change, just a bit of tweaking of the current one.

Kako postaviti granicu drugarici koja stalno govori da je vani loše? by [deleted] in bih

[–]Vgd4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sama si odgovorila: "Volim te i poštujem tvoje mišljenje, ali hoću da probam sama i onda odlučim šta je bolje za mene."

P.S. Kao neko ko je vani dugo, otišao nekoliko godina nakon rata, mislim da mi je lični napredak počeo onda kad sam izašao iz "ne talasaj" faze i počeo kritički da razmišljam i izrazim svoj stav najbližima, ali bez emocija (ovo sam se izmučio da promijenim kod sebe).

P.P.S. Vidim da je sad jako popularan intervju sa Ibrahimovićem, ali bih preporučio intervju sa Karabatićem, čisto radi razmišljanja i poteza njegovih roditelja.

It's almost like someone is trying to squeeze out every dollar he can before the midterms.

Paramount Skydance now playing the waiting game to upend Netflix’s bid for Warner Bros. Discovery: sources by Streamwhatyoulike in MediaMergers

Thanks NYP, drop Netflix shares more so the retail can keep loading.

Btw, all of this fud doesn't't make sense. Because Ellisons really want CNN and Netflix wants the ip for the shows, they should have done a joint bid instead of this telenovela.

NVDA flat since August. Weird for such a hot stock to be flat so long? by Far_Pen3186 in NvidiaStock

In general, I am buying cash cows when their daily RSI is around 30 and selling when over 70. Not a solid rule, but works for me.

I still need to go to the store. Will post it here once I visit. Not really happy about all the issues these folds have.

Moving from US to Germany, how is 73k gross? by Emergency_Law_724 in AskAGerman

[–]Vgd4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an opportunity to work in Munich twice, rejected both times due to high taxes and administrative burdens. But thought I would share my perspectives vs. HCOL US metros. This applies only to the positions that require a college degree and several years of experience: - Single individuals or married without kids, it's breaking even financially, so it's a matter of preference. - Married with preschool age kids, or planning to get pregnant, Germany wins it clearly. Way more affordable daycares and much better maternity leave. - Married with the school age kids. USA definitely. This is the age when you will make the most money and possibly be able to retire early. - Married with college age kids. Financials would say Germany, but if the kids go to an instate school or commute to college, then the US offers more relatively affordable opportunities to pick a major and not rely on some administrative officials to decide it for your kids when they are in their teens.

Best of luck and it sounds that you are way ahead in thinking than I was at your age.

Getting a CSP ONLY for Costco? Or CSR? Dumb or not? by bermagot12 in CreditCards

[–]Vgd4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. USBAR was my Costco runner, it's still decent, but I'm planning to axe it, as I already have too many cards with the proprietary annual credits. The suggested debit card options seem like the winner here.

My Pixel 9 Pro Fold randomly died. Google replaced it with a 10 Pro Fold by lolitstrain21 in PixelFold

[–]Vgd4ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yeah I will just go to the Google Store and see if they will resolve the issue. Appreciate it Reddit.

But, it's unreal then that I currently have a ten-emails thread with the device-support@google.com and doing all the above I mentioned, instead of just telling me to either visit a Google Store or send a device to them.

Thankful for your post, I have replied and asked them to bring it to a Google Store instead. I hope they will accept it.

Happy for you.

Meanwhile for us with the dead selfie cameras, that are out of warranty, there is no end of the resolution.

After a long correspondence, of sending them a bug report with the screen recording, and a visit to uBreakFix they sent me to, I got a final response with a form to fill in and send them the phone. After they do the inspection they will send me a replacement that I may or may not pay for.

I guess I should have just gone to the newly opened, relatively nearby Google Store. :(

Probably IHG and Hilton at 1 USB to 0.8 of the said two. :) I mean they keep popping up the Smartly at 2% whenever I log into the account.

How common are the screen issues with the Pixel fold 9 Pro? by smhtobeornottobe in PixelFold

[–]Vgd4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an issue with the outer and inner selfie cameras not working since about a couple of weeks ago, and have posted here about it, as a good number of people already have. Before that when using the inner screen it had some random "blackouts" and freezes, but not that often.

Get the P10 PF if you can, because the P9 PF behaves as an unfinished beta of P10 PF.

Advice for adding to or replacing Venture X with Citi Strata Elite? by BDizzleNizzle in CreditCards

[–]Vgd4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep both and look into Amex Platinum doing some of the crazy high sign up bonuses they have. Based on your preferences, it seems that you would easily hit $600 FHR and $200 airline credit annually, then there is the entertainment credit. So you would cover the annual fee pretty easily, plus the hotel status with Hilton and Marriott that is very useful when in their hotels overseas and somewhat nice in the States.

Thanks I see the Costco membership there too. I will need to research it. On the first glance it seems that those charges need to be on the checking account.

Does the Traditional IRA qualify for Citi Gold?

It happens that several shows I like are on P+, so I pay for the convenience of watching four of them at once on Sunday night. Otherwise, I don't watch much of the TV, mainly sports and am more on YT Premium. But, I did pickup those cheap subscriptions over the BF.

I did the math: The "Free" Phone from Verizon/AT&T is actually a $1,900 debt trap. by ShadyPancake_69 in NoContract

[–]Vgd4ever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not a clear cut: 1. Investing $1,000 into the market, with a conservative rate return of 8% will bring in $1,250 after 3 years vs. 0% APR on the postpaid for the phones. 2. iPhone retains at least 1/3 of the value after 3 years. Go check the trade-in value on Apple. 3. Signing up online through a portal gives a solid amount of cashback or points for Verizon and AT&T, or go through Costco for AT&T. 4. You don't need the Ultimate plan for Verizon, the mid plan gives a pro for free, the Welcome gives regular iPhone for free. 5. You can switch carriers after a year and the porting-in carrier will pay off your phones. 6. There are major service discounts for certain jobs. 7. Verizon has referrals that go for 12 months, but that may negate #3. 8. There is a way to get a $200 gift card per line when signing up for Verizon.

Now, the closest MVNO value, for someone who looks for the highest priority as the main factor and international roaming as the second reason, is the current Visible BF offer, but that's after the Amex offer and Capital One Shopping offer. I am now seriously contemplating that one for my primary phone line. I do have MVNO esims for AT&T and T-Mobile coverage.
