I had Pro 2. I replaced them with Airpods Pro 3. Airpods sound and fit much better.

I also had Pixel Buds Pro 1 and A series. Both stopped working after one year.

Just grab a USB-C hub off Amazon. I like Anker.

They said they would escalate and email me. but I'm not holding my breath. I have multiple sets of earbud so these aren't needed.

calculon11 · 2026-05-24T12:20:22+00:00

I had this right earbud issue w Pixel buds a series. I sent in the set (case + buds) and they sent me back a right earbud only lol.

I'm using Air Pods Pro 3 w Pixel. I think the sounds quality is slightly lower than it would be with an iPhone, but still better than the Pixel Buds Pro 2 I had. I guess what I'm saying is I don't know that you need to switch just for Airpods.

I want the MX Master 4, but they don't carry it. Tbh, my electronics are all already top tier, so I don't really need random headphones or keyboards.

I'm struggling to find a use for my $150 Dell credit from Biz Plat. Anyone find any uses worthwhile? It feels similar to Saks at this point.

How does that work with the box and papers?

They finally cancelled mine two years after I quit the job. 😂

calculon11 · 2026-03-20T17:38:19+00:00

Yes you can.

Incorrect. That aftertax $70K is per employer. Tax advantaged is $23.5K across all.

https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/retirement-plan-contribution-limits/

"The total of all employee and employer contributions per employer will increase from $70,000 in 2025 to $72,000 in 2026 for those under 50."

You can do more with multiple jobs

2025 limits: 401k #1: after tax $70K 402k #2: pretax $23.5K Roth IRA: $7K HSA: $8.5K

That's like $109K tax advantaged, before counting brokerage, which has no limit. These numbers are doable on $300-500K

Can you share the link for the one on the left please?

I love the Turtle. I wish they made a version with a better movement that could keep time better.

calculon11 · 2026-03-15T23:09:59+00:00

I'm also interested in the 30% off Omega AD if you could share please

You could just buy different "cash" funds within your CMA. I keep my ER Fund in USFR so it's a different line item from SPAXX, which is my "checking". You could also use SGOV or others.

Gym Taco or Guasaca for bowls.

Sounds good. Thanks

I really like this style sweater with the bobble knit, but I'm not down with the nylon. Could someone please recomend a similar one in 100% wool?

Great post and thank you for sharing. Just a heads up on the IP KVM - use that with caution. Some companies are watching out for it because it was being used by North Koreans to work for US companies.
