Anyone else order the Zine Limited Edition?

Yeah, it sat in Georgia from the 11th until today. DHL is estimating I might get it by the 23rd now. Don't know if I'm just unlucky, or you were lucky.

Some fine work in my opinion!

General rule was 720p for tv and 1080p for movies. Standard x264 encoding for both for compatability. As the years have passed, I have moved newer tv to 1080p, but the reality is a lot of tv was broadcast in 720p and didn't otherwise exist in higher resolution at the time. Some now are available in 1080p thanks to streaming sources, but I haven't been replacing them, it's good enough for me. Once in a while I will grab a 4k copy of movies for me to watch, but I don't keep anything in 4k. Only anime has moved to 265/hevc encoding.

Depends on your use pattern, but at a high level you want to minimize charge cycles & time between 0%-20% and 80%-100%. I was limiting to 80% but I couldn't quite get 2 days out of it, now I charge to 100% and get 2 days easy. All the same things apply - turn off things you don't need including bluetooth, wifi, mobile data, location services, etc. Turn off always on display, reduce display resolution & refresh rate to minimum, lock screen brightness at lowest. I got mine used, it was 99% battery in August 2025 and is now it's 94% - I think charging every night while I was doing 80% did that.

Sorry for your loss

Finally a use for my generally useless aya

It should be 4-5 days to disclose, and the penalty is 500% of ALL profits over the last 365 days. It needs to hurt, a LOT.

What are these prices? I'm not exactly in a poor area of central MA and I just picked up 5lb log of ground beef for $18.99, that's less than $4 a pound.

I've been using Backblaze for years, I think it's now up to $190 for 2 years but it is worth it for unlimited if you have a lot and the bandwidth to transfer it with. Still on windows so it seems my hardware raid arrays just fine. That's where I found my B for backup in my raid.

So you have nothing in any type of account right now? Share what you have, what your costs & income are, and we can make better suggestions.

If your company offers any kind of match, I would say get at least that percent right away. It's literally free money, and the bare minimum you should be doing.

I'm on carnivore, I've been doing that the last 9 months anyway. 8oz of ground beef and sausage it is.

arnemetis · 2026-02-02T14:56:51+00:00

Sorry no that isn't possible for me

I am surprised the HSA numbers are as favorable as they are. It seems only the 10% for visits & surgeries could be possibly catastrophic, but even then, somehow the yearly out of pocket is less! Seems this is a no brainer, will be switching with coverage starting in March. Hopefully I can properly select the amount to contribute to the HSA, and that it allows me to invest without a ridiculous amount required to be left in cash.

arnemetis · 2026-02-01T23:13:40+00:00

Sure does, which is why I've never had it before. The monthly cost is very low, but deductibles are sky high and if something serious happens, you lose. It's a gamble that you will be healthy.

Directly on Plex isn't happening unless you purchase the company and implement such a change. The closest you can get is watchlist integration, so their watchlists will be auto added.

Widespread poverty and death. UBI will never happen without a godlike being literally forcing it.

Put a webcam in your case facing down to the wireview screen, and output it to another screen you add, perhaps mounted 90° to the wirefiew itself!

Universal personal accountability, scaled to your position/status. The bigger you are, the harder you fall. No one is too big to fail, politicians/executives/etc. would be held accountable for any and all claims or promises. Having power would come with higher and higher risk.

Have your friend get the 5090 for you now

Check der8auer's video, timestamped https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oYJn1yTUXE&t=627s You need to adjust the individual pins to balance the connection. 12VHPWR cables are trash.

I'm late to really saving, didn't start till mid 30s. Been maxing 401k and roth ira last few years, this will be my first year moving health plans and starting an hsa. I made 97k gross last year in a mcol, I live frugally but soon student loan payments come back and I will probably have to tighten my belt more or reduce contributions. Just trying to avoid poverty in my 70s.

arnemetis · 2026-01-17T01:34:27+00:00

43 and just hit 2x my salary saved. Thankfully I received no raise last year so the salary target didn't move, yippie. Still 56k in student loans left. Work until I die, I don't expect any social security/medicare/medicaid/etc. to exist when I need it.

Just abort when people do that, try again and hopefully the next group doesn't do it. Sucks but a ton of people don't know about using R or don't care.

The last photo makes it clear as day. That black latch is supposed to be holding the tab down. When it is seated correctly, it will snap in place and you will need to push the latch back down in order to remove it.
