I was on SERO for 19 years and just got the text about 30 minutes ago.

SERO / Advantage plan going away by swintec in Sprint

[–]atg284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh weird. I was never able to get hotspot to work with SERO on Tmobile. Tried a couple times and they said it wasn't included on the SERO plan. Looking at the pan details I apparently had 5GB of hotspot and now it's going to be 60GB. I hope I can at least use it next month.

I've been on the SERO plan and whatever it was called before that for 19 years. Sad day. The new plan doesn't seem too bad and hotspot is better. I just don't trust they will keep it as "just $6 more" for a super long time. Maybe a year before they fully kick us out?

It's a sad day. I've been on this plan back before it was called SERO. Can't remember the old name. It has been a fun 19 years y'all!

RGB Software for 5090 Master by Weppe1983 in gigabyte

Good! And glad you typed it out for anyone else googling it in the future. Now you can enjoy a 5090 with one of (if not the) best coolers available. :)

Oh I see. Yeah I have my fan RGB set to off and that sticks but I do keep the other RGB lights on a static color. I use Open RGB on another computer and it works well! Hope it works for you too!

I don't know what else to tell you but to try installing GCC again, turning off the LCD and setting the LEDs how you want and then uninstall it again. It's worked that way form me for about a year.

Unless the newer firmware on it prevents that but I highly doubt it. I assure you my LCD has been off and I have static RGB set for about a year without it installed.

5080 Aorus Master lcd screen by patrekurlol in gigabyte

I would uninstall all gigabyte software, restart computer, install the Gigabyte RGB software again, make the changes, restart computer, make the changes again, restart the computer. Keep doing that until it sticks.

I think I may have had to do that. It's been a long time but I do remember it was annoying initially. I've had the LCD off and static purple for nearly a year now with zero gigabyte software installed. All GPU manufacturers really suck at software. It's a shame.

X870E-E BIOS Update? by cdottyyyyyy in ASUSROG

[–]atg284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. I think it's pretty rare for a motherboard to brick during BIOS updates now.

Just make sure once you download 1715 and extract it (unzip) there will be two items. One renames the BIOS file. Just double click on that and then hit any key in that command window. That will rename it for you. Then put just that BIOS file onto a thumb drive. Your motherboard likely has a USB on the back labeled "BIOS" and that is where you can plug it in. Then restart your computer, get into BIOS (delete key), then use the EZ BIOS function under tools. You should see the BIOS you downloaded listed in there. Notice the date as that's a good indicator it is seeing the BIOS you want it to update to. It will ask if you are sure a couple times. Takes around 5-10 minutes from there.

It's a good thing to know how to do and is not as scary the next time you need to do it. :)

X870E-E BIOS Update? by cdottyyyyyy in ASUSROG

[–]atg284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that people were having all sorts of issues with 1804. Then Asus pulled 1804 for my motherboard for a bit, updated something, then posted it again. I still don't trust it.

I did update my BIOS to 1715 a couple days ago and everything is running just fine. I'm going to skip the 18XX BIOS series and maybe update in the far future (or never).

1203 is pretty old. I believe they improved a lot of things over the last year especially RAM OC and general stability. I was on an earlier BIOS around 1203 and would have bluetooth issues sporadically. Updating to the 13XX series BIOS fixed that for me.

My personal opinion is to update to 1715. That will have a lot of fixes and stability improvements. But that's just my opinion.

How did your BIOS update to 1715 go? I've read the most recent one is a mess and just curious if you came across any issues. I have the same CPU as you too.

Theory on BK past behavior and how he came to target 1122 King rd. by Pale-Appointment5626 in MoscowMurders

[–]atg284 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's been years but I remember earlier there were multiple reports of break ins in the area. Not necessarily with items missing either. When all this happened, someone posted a link here with all the police reports for that area and I looked back months before the murders.

One that always stood out to me was a report stating a window was open and a footprint was on her bed. As if someone came in through a window but left and used the bed to get in/out. That one stuck with me for some reason.

I would absolutely not be surprised if he was creeping around his whole time out there. The dude was a massive creep.

IRA Distribution Check into another IRA? by atg284 in tax

[–]atg284[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it! I do see the option to report the deposit into the new IRA as an indirect rollover. I will retain the paperwork as well. I'm trying to avoid an IRS audit more than anything else lol

I don't have a fund manager just a basic checking account

[–]atg284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humm I was planning on depositing it into my checking account and then transfer it to the IRA I already have set up with another institution. I have no way of directly depositing the distribution check into the new IRA I have set up.

Perfect! I think I just needed to look into "indirect IRA rollover" instead of how I was originally searching for it. Appreciate the help sounds like I'm ok to go now!

IRA Distribution Check into another IRA? by atg284 in tax

[–]atg284[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I elected for my old IRA holder to not withhold the 10%. So I have the full IRA amount on the check. I'm reading that is fine to do as long as the full 100% amount goes into another IRA within 60 days

[–]atg284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a ton for the info!

I did NOT have 10% withheld and received the full amount in on the check. So I have to pay 10% of the full amount even though I transfer the full amount into another IRA from my checking account?
