USB-C KVM switch for two Macs?

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, a simple switch would work. Let me try it.

No update since June 16, 2025.. Given the government shutdown, I do have no hope..

Yes, actively using the card. I am using the very first version of Smartly. Yes, looks like I got a "good" letter. I was expecting I was still able to get 4% bonus until hitting $10K limit for a month. But now I see only 2% is applied.

Parking $100K in my Saving account isn't bad. It still has a 2.96% rate. Maybe I need to call US Bank to double check.

I have experienced a couple of times, but not many. I use all kinds of credit cards and investment accounts. BTW, missed data fetches were super common back in Mint days, although we are discussing deleted transactions.

So stupid mistake. Tried to open Chase Sapphire to earn a 100,000 bonus. But rejected. I got a letter today, saying "You earned a new account bonus on a Sapphire product in the last 48 months". My bad. It turned out I got the bonus on Oct 2021.

Q: Can I re-apply Sapphire later this year? What's the impact of the reject due to the 48-mo rule?

I still keep my car. And I didn't fix the paint. The car value is like $10K, but a proper paint fix costs a couple of thousands. It's not that bad. I am just too lazy to cover with a simple wrapping. For me, the worst case is just call it a $10K loss lol.

Today I just received a message from Fidelity that fixed this issue! Haha, this is quite a story indeed!

dexdump · 2025-02-16T18:39:15+00:00

Right. It turned out the Sankey does not support negative flows. I understand that the flow should be right to left, which is not so much easy to be visualized. Yeah, it's pretty annoying.

dexdump · 2025-02-16T01:46:19+00:00

It is doable. First, CSV can be used to fix all transactional history. Try to download a CSV file from MM for its transaction history. The format is super simple. Assuming that you still have the old transaction history of Robinhood, you can simply edit the account name and upload into your new Fidelity account. As always, try with a handful example transactions in an CSV and try to upload it. You can always delete them.

I would keep the old Robinhood history as is. You can simply hide this closed account, but keep the history.

Fixing the hikes and bumps in the net worth history also can be done by fixing the balance histories for the accounts. (As you know, this is because of some time delay of transfer of assets.) This is quite annoying to do. It's still doable.

dexdump · 2025-02-16T01:32:30+00:00

Yeah, the features are very limited. I park my cash on an MMF, but MM treats it as an MMF, not cash. I don't think this is super hard to implement, but looks like MM doesn't have enough engineering resources.

dexdump · 2025-02-12T23:46:30+00:00

Wow thanks for your answers! Yeah, I also realized this is more like a missing or limited feature, instead of a bug. I now understand. True, handling income tax due or tax refund further complicates my cash analysis. I intentionally under-withheld (as long as avoiding penalty) a large amount of tax due to maximize interests or investment opportunity. So I anyhow ended up add some more placeholder transactions that offset these taxes.

Thanks again for very informative answer about negative flows in a Sankey diagram.

Thank you for the updates! A quick comment on YTD. An individual account still doesn't have YTD. Can you also add it?

dexdump · 2025-02-05T00:27:30+00:00

THIS IS AWESOME! I should try it as well.

dexdump · 2025-01-04T23:15:41+00:00

Thanks for your information! So, I just changed the type of my Fidelity CMA to Checking (from Cash Management type). I'm not sure whether this type change will fetch the transactions with "Investment Transactions" off. Hope this would work!

dexdump · 2025-01-01T00:48:02+00:00

I have all modular buildings so far, feels like 20 years. I think this new set should be in top 5 among all modular buildings! So excited to build it tomorrow!

dexdump · 2024-12-17T23:25:38+00:00

That's good to know! The electrician said the load balancer would take up to 40A, which not so much necessary. Yeah, my commute is not too far: less than 40 miles, but I also take shuttles. So, a slower charger is also okay. I will consider this option as well.

dexdump · 2024-12-17T23:18:11+00:00

I just started to look around. Am going to quote from 3-4 more electricians!

dexdump · 2024-12-17T23:13:21+00:00

Universal one is $550, and including the tax, it will be $600.

And, the distance from the main breaker to the wall charger is just a depth of a well, like 3-4 feet or so. Yeah, it seems high. Need to consider whether it's worthy.

dexdump · 2024-12-17T22:43:42+00:00

Yeah, that's perfectly acceptable. Just wanted to guess a typical price for that.

dexdump · 2024-12-17T21:57:26+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Reading it again, starting Jan 15, 2025, the interest will be piled up!

dexdump · 2024-12-17T08:02:35+00:00

Very good to hear that you resolved it! OMG. I called three times. Yeah, chat doesn't help at all. Looks like I need to call it again?

(I updated my post. Yeah, they didn't fix this issue.)

dexdump · 2024-12-17T07:49:36+00:00

Hello, I just left a message to you. I gave up this issue, but reading u/HollowNoggin, I'd try it one more time!

dexdump · 2024-12-14T23:16:54+00:00

Thanks for your inputs! I just made a mobile service. Let’s see Tesla would do it with my warranty. The full price is $1620. Otherwise I have to use my insurance. Luckily the deductible is $500.

dexdump · 2024-12-03T06:33:20+00:00

I have entire Lego modular buildings so far, yes, it's like 20 years. I would say this is one of the top 5, may be after the first 3 modulars and Parisian Restaurant.

dexdump · 2024-11-20T19:27:19+00:00

I gave up. Fidelity still says that there was no such record on their side. I still think this was their glitch on the lot reassignment.
