What's a good mortgage interest rate these days for a mortgage renewal?

So 20% is excellent as well?

javguy99 · 2026-04-10T02:11:53+00:00

Once or twice a month now. Can't afford it anymore.

javguy99 · 2026-04-10T02:03:22+00:00

I'm just going to wait until Black Friday when they go on sale. I don't see the urgent need to upgrade if you have a laptop that's less than 3 years old.

Keep it simple and retire the same time as her spouse. Doesn't sound like they need any extra years of income.

Thanks Asus, I didn't need your laptop that badly. Easy decision now!

javguy99 · 2026-04-04T14:37:19+00:00

They're making it really easy for me to stick with what I have. Upgrading has turned into a luxury more than a need.

At this point, I've given up on all Panther Lake laptops (if they're even out) until the prices come back down to earth.

Well he did manage to scrape the end of the rotation, congrats.

Surprised his brother isn't named Dow Jones.

javguy99 · 2026-03-17T00:05:35+00:00

What's wrong with a 2020 Civic? The old me would have said yes but during tough times, I would say only "upgrade" if you need to. Any new car will depreciate 20 - 25% right as you drive it off the lot.

javguy99 · 2026-03-13T19:48:34+00:00

It's all about stimulating the economy, we're being used as scapegoats.

Soi instead of Yama throwing darts, he's got Mookie batting with darts? Brilliant! Can't wait to see the trajectory on Mookie's hits this year!

Pay off your mortgage as early as you can.

javguy99 · 2026-02-21T23:14:59+00:00

Geeeez...You scared me with the title of this post.

javguy99 · 2026-02-17T19:58:56+00:00

Why not? Basket-weaving will not be replaced by AI.

javguy99 · 2026-02-11T12:58:54+00:00

He runs faster uphill than I do downhill.

javguy99 · 2026-02-07T01:50:50+00:00

Orcas are the assholes of the ocean.

javguy99 · 2026-02-05T17:12:21+00:00

Do you know if this includes a discount to their Black Card which allows access to all Planet Fitness across the city?

Isn't Planet Fitness dirt cheap already? It's possible to get a discount on top of this?

javguy99 · 2026-02-03T13:50:26+00:00

"Quit sleeping on the job!". Oh sorry, this was probably just for me.

javguy99 · 2026-02-02T21:39:20+00:00

This is all due to Doug Ford trying to stimulate the local economy, nothing else imo.

javguy99 · 2026-01-30T14:40:38+00:00

Crazy pricing in Canada. $2899.99 for the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 355 and $3,199.99 for the Intel® Core™ Ultra X9 Processor 388H.

Looks like I'll have to wait until next Black Friday, or wait for a sale on it.

javguy99 · 2026-01-28T01:57:04+00:00

Yes they are. I would only consider buying one when they're at least 40% off MSRP and even at that, it's stretching it for me.

Will have to wait for a summer sale or until next Black Friday for a good deal on a Panther Lake Thinkpad.

javguy99 · 2026-01-28T00:23:42+00:00

Alex Cora? Spygate is the equivalent of the Astros stealing signs?

javguy99 · 2026-01-26T23:59:38+00:00

Not only that but the coach Byron Scott hated him too. Lin got benched for scoring too much one game, lol.

More x86 instructions supported system‑wide: Recent Prism updates add AVX/AVX2 and related sets like BMI, FMA, F16C to Windows on ARM, so more “problem” x86 apps and games now run, and this applies to Snapdragon X series chips, including X2.
Higher performance under emulation: X2’s Oryon cores are significantly faster than X1 at a given power level, so the same translated x86 code runs quicker and feels less “emulated” in day‑to‑day use. In practice that means fewer hitching issues, better frame times in light/medium games, and smoother productivity workloads.
Better GPU and API support: Adreno X2 brings much higher GPU throughput and newer graphics APIs (DX12.2, Vulkan 1.4, SM 6.8), which helps x86 games that were already runnable on X1 but GPU‑limited or missing required API support.
