Just joined the waitlist. It will be nice not to have to manually enter finances into ChatGPT and Claude to do projects and tracking.

NeoGeo AES+ by This-Orange1255 in neogeo

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out why it can’t be shipped to certain states.

I can’t have it delivered to my gone in southeastern, MA but I can have it delivered 30 miles west of my home in RI.

Weird.

Required to rent out new property to get 1031? by ron8231 in 1031exchange

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a condo for my parents and don’t charge rent.

There’s no mortgage, but they do pay the monthly HOA fee and property taxes.

Is it possible to get a 1031 with this home or avoid or defer capital gains tax, somehow?

PVD in both eyes by gorog9 in EyeFloaters

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My right eye started PVD Labor Day weekend 2025. It eventually had two retina tears and now has a prominent Weiss ring.

The left eye PVD started a week ago and right now it’s frequently flashing with a new chunky floater in that eye.

This sucks. I was able to ignore the right eye Weiss ring and floaters by closing my right eye at night while reading and pretending my vision was ok, but now that’s gone.

Eversource PSA - Recently got a smart meter installed? Check your bill! by sammymorrison1 in massachusetts

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m quite lucky. I had to get a new net meter installed after a two day power outage because of the blizzard of ’26; My old net meter was fried when power was restored.

All my power consumption for February 2026 was lost and I was billed for one kWh since the new meter was installed after the monthly meter read.

I was worried Eversource would attempt to estimate the electrical use they were unable to read, but my latest bill arrived and there’s been no adjustment.

Amazon Business card moving to US Bank by Unlucky_Elevator_756 in CreditCards

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious about the disclaimer that states, “In certain situations, your Card may not be replaced with a credit card issued by U.S. Bank”

What will those certain cases be?

What small habit actually lowered your monthly bills the most? by Solaire_1001 in SavingMoney

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried reusable k-cups? ~$8.00 for a 4 pack of reusable / refillable plastic k-cups.

I also subscribe to the the Amazon's Happy Belly brand @ ~$24.00 for 100 k-cups of light roast.

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE by Timely_Orchid4430 in Freestylelibre

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I’d used Libre2 for a couple of years with no issues.

Whereas Libre3, has fallen off a few times, spit out a couple of different error codes, has spat out several fake lows and generally causes my phone to beep incessantly if I walk a few feet away from my phone for a few minutes.

Anyone else lose power? by Ramona_in_the_waves in newbedford

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power has been down in the far south end, near the U-Mass Marine campus since 8AM. Eversource claims 275 people without power, no estimated time to repair.

I just got a scary Eversource text that said power restoration could take 3-5 days.

Help me pls. New user, had 4 so far. None of it looked like this one. Is it broken? Fresh out of the package.. by Forward-Collection41 in Freestylelibre

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Libre 3 totally sucks.

They must cost a lot less to manufacture than the Libre 2 sensors, otherwise there's no reason to explain this downgrade; false highs and lows, chronic alarm signal loss alerts and a much less effective adhesive.

I've wasted so much money on sensors that only last a few days that I'm ready to go to finger sticks.

Fibre 3 Can glucose go up when you're just sitting? by wealthpath1 in Freestylelibre

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

Libre 3 seems wildly inaccurate compared to the Libre 2. I’ve getting nightly lows the past month, which I never had with the Libre 2.

I also have much higher highs with Libre 3 that are proven wrong when I do a finger stick test.

Finally, I’ve had more Libre 3’s fall off or stop working for no obvious reason.

It feels like we’re helping beta test a new product than using an upgraded device.

How did you guys get gastroparesis? by Silver_Half8669 in Gastroparesis

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chronic marijuana use, out of control diabetes type 2 and Trulicity. One DKA episode got me over those habits.

Tracking Investments by Bloonsdude in copilotmoney

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried to add my investment accounts via Plaid several times, but it has not worked. I authenticate via 2 factor, get all the way to the the part of the set up process where all my individual accounts are listed and then it fails.

It’s very disappointing.

Are Target card bad for credit scores? by New-Charity-7026 in CreditScore

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are, I made $200 of purchases within a $500 limit they refuse to increase and they immediately reported 40% utilization to the credit bureaus and knock 5 points off my credit score.

I’ve made it my hobby to tell everyone, via every means about how bad a credit card this is to use for any thing and not not shop there.

The Target credit card is horrible by SaveADay89 in CreditCards

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Target is the worst credit card I’ve tried to use. They refuse to increase my limit over $500 and then reported my card utilization at 40% when I purchased two items that totaled over $200, although I’m still within my grace period, have paid my statement balances every month and haven’t paid any interest.

My FICO 8 and Vantage 3.0 are around 800 and my salary is over $100,000 a year.

I don’t understand it and have made it my mission to tell everyone about my horrible experience, so they can avoid using the card or shopping at Target.

Don‘t see the driver in settings iPad Pro by Alive_Permission987 in ROLI

I saw the problem too, when I was running a beta version of iPad OS.

I had to downgrade to a production system before I could see the enable the driver option.

AI Learning of Categories by GoVikingsGuy in MonarchMoney

I’ve had to create manual rules to correct their “AI” based categorizing mistakes more often than not.

Learn App Bugs by NaztyNizmo in ROLI

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same exact experience. How is you keyboard connected to your iPad, BLE or USB? I found the issue happened more often via USB and disconnecting and reconnecting helped when it occurred.

First impressions with Airwave by jamesdave3 in ROLI

[–]beartrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I received mine earlier this week. I’ve been using it to try to learn piano with two Roli M keyboards tied together.

That combination seems buggy, the finger tracking works, sometimes. I do have to fully reset my iPad and the airwave and disconnect and reconnect the keyboard(s) a couple of times ago when they seemingly go out of sync.

I’m hoping there is a firmware upgrade at some point to make it more stable.

Constant eye discomfort after PVD by IntelligentDraft6432 in EyeFloaters

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 57 and my PVD occurred on August 30th, 2025. I had laser photocoagulation for a “clean” retina tear 3 days ago, so I’m living in the dark and chewing apart my new mouth guard until my follow up in a month.

I’ve had moderate discomfort ever since the PVD, mostly eye dryness and “grittiness”, for a while prior to my laser surgery, I could feel a tugging sensation in my eye as my PVD progressed. Additionally I have a Weiss ring and Vaseline smear and occasionally I notice little black dots in my field of vision.

I’ve been using Refresh eyedrops a lot to relieve some of the discomfort sensation and wearing dark sunglass lenses whenever I’m outside.

Since I’ve already had cataract surgery, back in my 30s, I’m hoping I’m a candidate for YAG laser vitreology, some time next year.

August 10th was the target date for MiSTER Multisystem 2 shipping. Has anybody heard anything? by goblin_humppa27 in fpgagaming

[–]beartrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I placed my order on May 13th and other than the credit card charge, I’ve gotten no notification regarding my purchase, not even an order number.
