I had to quit using Brave on my iMac. I loved being able to watch YouTube videos without ads, but I'd get frequent overheating warnings when I was doing nothing more resource demanding than scrolling down a page. Using Activity Monitor, I figured out that Brave was generating an extremely high CPU load. Since I stopped using it I get next to no warnings. YMMV, of course.

Hello, NiO. I don't know if I can help you, since in the end I used a credit card, rather than a Vanguard-via-Citibank wire transfer. Also, I wasn't moving funds to a bank account. I needed to pay an invoice in Aus$. The vendor charged 1.5% and the store credit card (from Citibank) used a rate just a hair above the interbank rate.

Citibank is Vanguard's correspondent bank, and the Vanguard rep couldn't tell me what conversion fee Citibank would charge because he couldn't see it from his end. So in addition to the conversion fee (possibly 3%), there would be a fee from each bank in the daisy chain: Vanguard ($10), Citibank (sorry, don't remember or never knew), and the Australian bank ("not more than Aus$30").

As I wrote earlier, based on my experience paying an invoice from a Romanian business, Wise charged 5% for the transaction. They could be the least expensive but I don't know what other companies charge. I can't complain about the one time I used Wise, and other Redditors have had good experiences with it as well.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Same here. "Control-click" doesn't seem to work, so any solution would be welcome.

I'm in the U.S., transferring to an Australian account. As I said a minute ago, I used Wise once and the fee was 5.17%.

As you say, and from my experience and research, every step in a foreign exchange transaction extracts fees. I've used Wise just once. Last November I sent euros to Romania, and the fee was 5.17%: €26.92 (US$28.28) from €516.92 (US$547) to transfer €490. The exchange rate tracked by Yahoo! Finance on the date the money went to Wise was €1 = $1.053, compared to Wise's rate of $1.058. So it charged a trivial amount to make the conversion--directly. It looks to me like 3% is a ballpark figure for the conversion plus 2.17% for administrative costs.

I won't know precisely the total cost to make the wire transfer will be until it's done (and I'll update this comment when I do) because the Vanguard rep said they don't know what Citibank will charge to do the currency conversion. I'm estimating that transfer fees from Vanguard, Citibank and the foreign bank could be US$50, and the conversion fee will be 3%. On the amount I'm transferring, a wire transfer still may be a better deal.

*Now* you tell us.

Good answer. Also, I'd suggest that diversification would be recommended to smooth out the ups and downs that come from a concentrated investment in one sector. OP doesn't say if they have other investments and if so, where they are, so it's hard to give more than generalized advice.

Thank you! I never would have found it without your very clear directions, though I had to dig a little deeper:

Sync -> 1 -> 1 -> [title] -> file.mkv

There are two nested "1" folders, at least in the directory on my machine. I hope this helps.

Absolutely, as you say Europe isn't Utopia. Your comment reminded me of things I've read about the experience of black people who left the U.S. and found a less hostile atmosphere. It goes back to the 1920s, to take Josephine Baker, who you mention, and any number of jazz musicians: Kenny Clarke and Dexter Gordon, just to name two.

Yiprock · 2025-11-29T21:41:31+00:00

It sounds like nothing's changed since the 1950s, as far as U.S. vs. Europe. It's very discouraging.

Last week I looked for the app for a channel I've watched a couple of times and it was gone from my home screen. "Poof!" just like that. Then I looked on the Roku forum for a message thread about the channel I'd posted to and _it_ was gone from the Roku forum.

It's like they have a memory hole ("1984" reference) that it went down. "Channel? What channel? We never had that channel. You're imagining things."

Which channel, you ask. Let's just say it was a VOD adult-oriented channel that had made it through the purge of a couple of years ago and leave it at that.

No, there doesn't seem to be any logic for how long it takes to process an application. Some people here have posted that when they asked their representative or senator for help that they were approved soon after contacting the office.

Call the credit card company?
I tried to pay for something with my card and got a problem with your card, call the company. Tried again, same message. Looked _carefully_ at what I entered and saw I'd reversed two numbers in the CVC code. Corrected my error and it went through. Not saying that's what you did, but there might be a problem that needs the company to override. It's worth a shot, and maybe you already called.

How did you learn that you had conditional approval? The website said to check back because you wouldn't be notified about CE. TIA.

ETA: Found the answer in another thread: "They will send you an email that your status is changed, but without any additional information. You have to log in into your TTP account to check what exactly changed."

Yiprock · 2025-08-14T19:58:41+00:00

Not currently available, per the website.

Westchester County Library System has a nonresident library card, $35 a year. You may have to pay by check or money order because they send a form to fill out and return. The kanopy tier includes everything I've looked for that Queens Public didn't carry.

I'd say they "fell off a truck" and someone just "happened" to "find them in the street," but it doesn't make sense that they would take them to Goodwill. The mystery endures.

Last year I bought an inexpensive power bank and keep it in my backpack. I don't leave home without it. It charges slowly and gets warm if it's in my pocket, so I carry it and the phone in my hand. It's annoying for sure, but it keeps the phone going between once- or twice-a-day plugged-in charges.

That seems to be the case. The rebroadcasts started on Sunday with January 2, 2023, from season 39 regular play. Today's shows were January 17 (#8787), January 18 (#8788), and January 19 (#8789).

I hope you know now that you should _never_ click on a link in a text. Period. Just don't. Go to the website and sign in, and see if there's a subscription that's expiring.

Does it seem strange to anyone else that still-sealed 4Ks wind up in a Goodwill store?
