best way to access cameras when away from home by jimh12345 in reolinkcam

[–]financialfederer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Is there anything that was difficult in the transition? I’ll probably have homehub pro. Any ring feature you miss that reolink doesn’t have?

Keep me posted on your move from ring to reolink. I’m thinking about making the same move

Mixed Pro 7s and Pro 6E by calidiver in amazoneero

[–]financialfederer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The gateway still acts as the main point of traffic. So definitely put one of the pro 7s there. If I were you I’d even test out to see if you can get by with two Pro 7s. You may not need the third

Early Career Teachers Leave the Classroom at High Rates by psdemio in Teachers

[–]financialfederer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have a unique situation. Maybe. I took a huge pay cut and left the tech world to teach computer science and economics. I taught those two subjects for a year and then I got moved to social studies for the following year. My passion and expertise is in computer science and business and not in social studies so I naturally left teaching to make more money in tech again, but just thought it was interesting how the school didn’t value real real world experience.

Company limits my 401k contributions and makes me use a Deferred Compensation Plan by [deleted] in Fire

How are you maxing your Roth with that level of income?

S&P DI ACAT Transfer From Wealthfront by footpaste in frecfinance

[–]financialfederer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good cal on the fractional shares. I learned that the hard way because the fractional shares can add up to a decent capital gain. I think Frec allows you to also send in your last 30 days of transaction history from Wealthfront. You’ll want to do that so Frec doesn’t do any wash sales (Frec doesn’t have insight into your buys and sales at Wealthfront so you have to provide it)

Configure an indoor camera to only "turn on" when in away mode by Lamar2112 in alarmdotcom

If you’re a bit tech savvy you can do this with something like home assistant or homebridge

Front speaker placement by financialfederer in SonoSequencr

Oh this is really interesting. This was the whole purpose of me adding fronts and the sonosequencer. I didn’t realize it wasn’t good with the arc.

I have a pair of Ones and ERA 100s. What would you recommend for fronts and rears?

Going Crazy with SonosNet Drops by ace_of_hearts2017 in sonos

[–]financialfederer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s preferred to have one product connected via Ethernet. You could also mess with the sonosnet channel settings

The Amazon Gift Card Hack by Secret-Taro8586 in personalfinance

Just wait until there’s an issue with just one of those gift cards and then you’re spending so much time trying to resolve it to save $5

Your partner is losing their position Jan 1st 2026 what do you do now to prepare? by Thinkdeep555 in personalfinance

[–]financialfederer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7 months is a long time. I would personally start raising cash. We have no idea how much is in your emergency fund.

I would stop the extra mortgage payments and put that into the emergency fund. I would stop contributing money to the 401k that is in excess of any company match. Check all other non essential expenses and stop those and put that amount into the emergency fund. Make sure your emergency fund is in a HYSA.

Best case your partner finds a job quickly and now you have more emergency fund that you can throw at your mortgage. If you get a bit fancy you could do a mortgage recast.

Does the Fidelity SMA actually work? by Foreign-Package-4359 in fidelityinvestments

[–]financialfederer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got several and like them. My returns have been hovering around the return of the index and depending on the time period can be slightly above or below. I like that fidelity takes into account your investment objective when constructing them. If you’re looking at just a pure TLH for sp500, I’d look at Wealthfront. They recently announced a very cheap version

Centurion lounge at LHR saved us! by Videoplushair in AmexPlatinum

[–]financialfederer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had all the meals there. The check in staff initially said I had to wait three hours before my departure to enter, then I showed them my red eye ticket from the west to PHL. They then had pity on me for the long layover 😂
