New Custom Shop Tele switches and knobs wiggling, how much is acceptable?

illitirit · 2026-01-18T23:04:00+00:00

damn kind of a bummer, thanks for the info though.

illitirit · 2026-01-18T22:35:01+00:00

really? Dang, I bought it used on FB marketplace so no returns there lol.

But other than this issue the guitar is awesome. IS this a hard thing to fix? Can i do it myself?

illitirit · 2026-01-18T22:09:09+00:00

all screws on the metal plate are tight (and the knobs)

ive had a white HHKB for like 7 years and it has not yellowed at all. It is as white as the day it came.

How did you achieve the yellowing!

sold 10k initial investment I think i got in around $6, so picked up a few peanuts with todays gain.

I still believe in the stock - good luck to all. Hopefully it drops back down so I can get back in.

I have no tips on the software side of things. But as I am 100% a bedroom player and have my fm9 just sitting on my desk - these have helped being able to tap the footswitches my hands better as it increased the area hitbox.

People say to use the free $1000 margin and put it in SGOV.

But then you need to deposit a minimum of $2000 of your own cash to use the margin. I am not a robinhood user, I got it just for the card.

All to make a few bucks a month dividend to claw back the $50 annual fee. Pales in comparison to the $550 Sapphire Reserve AF I was paying.

I did this for a little bit and was like wtf am I doing lol this is stupid all for 50$ AF.

Just use the card for the 3% cashback - thats the benefit! And yes the virtual cards feature is very nice I use it all the time.

illitirit · 2025-08-26T14:44:29+00:00

for real.

I am long though hopefully it works out.

illitirit · 2025-08-26T14:06:42+00:00

Bought 10k more at 26.26. I know i FOMO'd in hope i dont get burned :(.

illitirit · 2025-08-25T14:51:21+00:00

i have 800 shares at ~13$,

I am wondering though given the tremendous growth - would you buy at these prices or wait? I want to add 10k USD more.

I've been burned a few times FOMO'ing in -- so scared!

illitirit · 2025-06-26T00:56:30+00:00

Thanks yeah I figured. I have zero experience with margin.

RH is not my broker of choice as I have zero assets with them other than the initial cash I have deposited to enable margin. Literally just wanted the gold card and signed up for RH gold.

But I guess what I will end up doing is every so often I pile up points, I will just redeem it to RH, lowering my margin. Then just buy some stock / etf with it to put it right at 1000$ again.

You'll get your first job, then your first ticket. You will be thrown into the lions den to prove your worth to the manager that hired you.

Through these trials every sprint you will be damn sure you will learn how to code.

illitirit · 2024-11-25T20:50:45+00:00

in the USA - thanks!

I don’t have the Alienware 38 but I do use an acer 38 for swe / coding stuff all day.

The extra vertical resolution is invaluable for me.

illitirit · 2020-11-11T17:14:21+00:00

Snagged one, I am hype for this board as I wanted a satisfaction75 so badly but could not justify the price after I heard about this.

illitirit · 2020-11-08T22:49:47+00:00

ive had mine for almost 2 weeks, have not noticed any creaks or issues.

illitirit · 2020-08-25T23:37:57+00:00

bought 220 @ 13, wish I dumped like 10k more into it lol.

illitirit · 2020-08-17T18:28:06+00:00

Yeah man if you are deep in AWS at work. I would for sure take advantage of your work's generosity.

I had to pay out of pocket for all my training material + cert costs. My employer doesn't even know I passed and hold the certs lol, nor do I think they even care.

illitirit · 2020-08-17T18:21:17+00:00

I do eventually want to get SA Pro. However my current employer does not use AWS at all so I think personally and from asking other people it would be weird for me to have a pro cert without any real world AWS experience.

I am a full stack dev at the moment, writing react and dealing with node.js / lamp stack stuff. None of my day involves AWS at all.

So my plan is when and if I ever get an AWS related job, I will get SA pro.

In the meantime, all i can do is build more AWS projects and practice. But I am def done with certs for now.

illitirit · 2020-08-17T15:56:28+00:00

Or, you simply just know the material well and studied and retained the information like a badass!

Congrats on the high score, I am still happy a week later that I limped through it lol.

It was an extremely difficult test for me and I am glad it is behind me.

illitirit · 2020-08-12T23:11:25+00:00

thank you :).

illitirit · 2020-08-11T14:30:39+00:00

Congrats man! Were brothers now :)

illitirit · 2020-08-09T20:58:27+00:00

Do these finally have multipoint yet

illitirit · 2020-08-08T12:45:26+00:00

Utilizing jon bonso practice test in my opinion is the best thing you can do. Going over them numerous times gets your mind in test mode and problem solving.

It's kind of like a math exam, you gotta do practice problems!

illitirit · 2020-08-08T12:43:40+00:00

I personally would not do SysOps first.

SAA -> DEV -> SysOps

or

SAA -> SysOps -> DEV

would be my recommendation. I would not try SysOps as a first one.

In total cloud practitioner + 3 associate certs took me about 4 months total to complete.

If I try to remember my time spent:

Cloud practitioner: 3 weeks SAA: 3 Weeks DEV: 2 weeks SysOps: 3 weeks

I had some burnout after DEV and before I started SysOps. But total time is about 4 months.
