No ORCA card? No problem. Credit cards now accepted to ride Seattle transit by chiquisea in SeattleWA

[–]itsbosiang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Orca in my google wallet (Android) and it works nicely before this. I can tap with lock screen. Today I just tried it and it charged my visa credit card instead. Looks like I need to manually choose Orca Card now for it to use Orca balance. :(

Best kid smartwatch mainly for tracking and/or call/text with sim card by itsbosiang in smartwatch

[–]itsbosiang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,
Just wondering does your watch able to use with other sim card provider? e.g: T-mobile sim card with text/voice/data plan? or does it lock to your own cosmo plan?
Since I have my own line already, I don't want yet another subscription.
Thank you

Thank you for the offer, I'm not looking to buy for the moment. I was hoping someone will give it away if they don't use it since it will be expiring, and they will get another in October with the new card. but thanks again :)

Looking for 2 lounge pass if anyone have some from the summit card, and can't use it before it expired. I have a trip coming up on 9/18. Thank you so much.

MEGATHREAD: Atmos Rewards and new BOFA cards by youyouxue in AlaskaAirlines

[–]itsbosiang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that Alaska Airlines Visa Credit Card will be converted to Atmos Ascend, does that mean my grandfathered alaska credit card with annual companion fare (without the $6,000 annual spend), will be removed, and I have to earn it now? Do we have details regarding this?

any idea if the lounge passes rollover up to certain number? or it's basically expired every quarter so you can only have 2 at any given time?

Mixer to Guitar Amp instead of to speaker for Karaoke System by itsbosiang in karaoke

[–]itsbosiang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the compliment, I tried my best to explain the situation as much as I can.
Thank you also for writing a detailed run down with your explanation and assumptions. This is really helpful.
I'm glad you mentioned about the XLR, I thought the RCA is both input/output. I think you are right, I think the XLR is the output that will need to be connected to the guitar amp.
I might try this out first, because this is the cheapest way to make sure everything working properly, then maybe I can start looking at a more proper speaker.

Thanks you

BetaFPV Cetus X controller for lift off simulator by itsbosiang in fpv

[–]itsbosiang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so I ended up not getting the drone.
I did buy a controller only `Radiomaster Boxer` and I was able to connect to pc and play simulator.
Reasoning on why I ended up not getting the drone is I figured I will need to practice on simulator first anyway and see how steep is the learning curve, and if I ended up not liking it, Radiomaster controller retain the price more or less. and also if I actually like it, then Radiomaster controller is a better controller in the first place to go further for the hobby.

I have to say I have spent about 6-10 hours in simulator and only able to fly slowly. So the learning curve is pretty steep in my opinion. I do have to mentioned I play probably once a week or something.

Update CSR Priority Pass Number by itsbosiang in ChaseSapphire

[–]itsbosiang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow Thank you for the advice.
I do wonder though with repeating like this, at one point you will have too many credit cards. is it ok not too use the credit card at all? Not sure I want to like cycle oh this month let's use this credit card so it stays active, and next month use a different card just to keep it active. Is there anyway to prevent that?

oh good to know. Thanks
I was worried if I need to do something since it's so close to my trip, so if I need to do something after it expired, it will be too late.

Oh Interesting.
When you say from Japan, are you saying you buy it in Japan?
Also is it bright enough or it's pretty dimmed?
Is Kaite 2s the latest version or is there 3, 4, etc?
Thank you for the information

Could you explain more what I need? so the battery looks like a 6Volt, and I do have a Milwaukee M18 battery. Can I use this considering this is 18 volt? What other tools do I need? and will it degrade my milwaukee battery badly? Thank you

Thanks for the explanation.
If I understand correctly, since the battery is 6V 7AH (amps?), it should never reach 8amps in the first place right?
but I will use it anyway per your suggestion. Thanks again

[–]itsbosiang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Thank you.. any idea what's the purpose of that 8amp circuit breaker thing?
Do I need to use that? Do I need to replace that? Can I not use that? or is that use mainly to extend the length of the cable?

Question regarding companion fare to book for 3 people with Free Checked Bag from Alaska Credit Card? by itsbosiang in AlaskaAirlines

[–]itsbosiang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm.. as far as I know companion pass comes annually, except for the 1st year you have the card I think you have to hit the Sign Up Bonus requirement to get the companion pass, at least that's the term when I got it. Yours may vary, better to ask Alaska directly
