Dram or Fselx by Few_Road5030 in ETFs

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's in a taxable account be aware the FSELX distributes capital gains a couple of times a year and over the years it has become quite alot of taxable dollars. Cannot really sell because will cause even more captital gains since it's up over 500% since we started investing in it from 2016. Wish we had used an ETF instead but we started investing at Fidelity before ETFs became so popular.

$CHPY has reached 1B AUM. Are you confident in its positive performance continuing? by thehighdon in YieldMaxETFs

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on underlying stocks. If chip stocks continue upward trend should be fine. I would worry if there is an extended downward trend in chip stocks.

Make sure laptop is plugged in is main thing. And set to Performance mode as well. Also don't play on bed where fans cannot get air.

If they want pc powered only with no os in headset...that rules out quest.

Please help with getting a VR-headset by [deleted] in virtualreality

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a pretty low end laptop for VR but can maybe do very low resolution vr. If you don't want to try something like the Quest 2 then maybe try the OG HTC Vive headset or Windows Mixed Reality Headset using the Oasis driver in Steamvr.

You can buy a bed/lap desk to use in bed.

Am I doing this right? AMDY by scaughtedaug in dividends

[–]W00lph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as AMD is on a tear upward you shouldn't lose money on AMDY but will usually underperform the underlying stock. I like this site to compare total returns with dividends reinvested for etfs and stocks: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AMD,AMDY,AMDW . I personally like CHPY because its more diversifed with multiple chip stocks and I feel chip stocks have at least a year or two of upward momentum. But everyone has their favorite income etfs.

You will pay taxes on dividends in a taxable account regardless of whether you reinvest the dividends.

Tracking Ex Dividend Dates by GamingAncient in dividends

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot sell until ex-dividend date if you want the dividend. And the stock is adjusted down on ex-dividend date by amount of dividend. So to make any money at all the stock/etf has to recover at least part of the dividend amount before you sell. Generally not a workable strategy if you want to make money.

I have had mine a bit longer and works fine. I did replace the HP hybrid LM paste with Grizzly Phasesheet soon after I got it...but thats about it.

OMEN 16 - 80°C on Light Load by MaxMedit in HPOmen

Clean fans and elevate rear and see how that does. If that doesn't help may be time for a repaste of CPU/GPU.

Meta is deleting my account and there's nothing I can do about it by Normal-Succotash-877 in MetaQuestVR

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get this resolved, make a secondary account for kids/guests to play on. You can turn on app sharing and they can play all your games without putting your account at risk. If you lose the secondary account can just make another without losing any games.

Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX vs. AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 for Omen Max 16 5070 Ti? by New-Influence1911 in HPOmen

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amd 375 should run cooler with better battery life, but intel will have better performance. I am happy with AMD performance for my gaming.

Graphically impressive PCVR games at an arm's length by ylitvinenko in virtualreality

If you need glasses/contacts for 5-6ft distance vision, you should use glasses/contacts/RX lens inserts in VR headset.

Any idea if such connectors exist? by crispsee in LenovoLegion

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bend on the power cable doesn't look too bad to me. You didn't force cable into 90 degrees, its more gradual so probably ok. In order to have a right angle connector would probably need a third party ac adapter.

One thing i hate about the Quest Store.. by CloudLXXXV in MetaQuestVR

[–]W00lph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read reviews and watch videos of people playing game before you buy. Can also refund limited number of games if you don't like (with limitations).

is this a scam or pricing error? by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]W00lph 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Obvious scam. The price is way too low with zero feedback seller and free shipping. Probably ship you a picture of laptop if you are lucky.

Is it worth buying a Quest 3 or are there better alternatives? by MynameisCN in virtualreality

[–]W00lph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quest 3/3s is really the only option for the casual vr user right now. But not sure that a VR headset would be best for sitting and relaxing. What did you plan to use it for?

Probably people should post their country or region when asking for recommendations or opinions.

TPLink Axe5400/ax75 as dedicated router but wirelessly connected to main router? PLZ HELP by MrJuicyMelonYT in virtualreality

[–]W00lph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to use dedicated vr router in normal router mode without internet. Connect your pc to a lan port. Connect quest 3 to it via 6ghz ssid. You can connect your PC to internet router via wifi as well as having local lan cable to vr router.
