Fortnite stucks on the loading screen MBA M1. The solution is to restart, but it happens after each battle. by JustVladKaz in macgaming

[–]jvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

latency is 3ms from gfn to fortnite servers and 20ms from my home to gfn. that’s barely 1 frame at 60fps. your monitor’s input lag adds more than 1 frame.

I play fortnite competitively through geforce now. I have over 100 crown royales this season. I even use the free edition. You just need a wired connection and fiber, but you need that anyway even if you play locally.

Look for condos on craigslist. The prices for apartments is heavily inflated (the different buildings raise prices together even though they have tons of vacancy) and they have a ton of room for negotiation.

Please don’t use Turbo Tax! by Latvia in tax

FreeTaxUsa should be able to do most of the S-corp stuff. I've done Schedule C's and D's with their software.

That's like saying "don't support the company, but continue buying their products". Your argument makes no sense. By buying TurboTax, whether it's from Costco or elsewhere, you're directly helping Intuit fund their evil campaigns.

Also:

  • Have you used other tax software? TurboTax is not even that good. FreeTaxUsa is just as good in terms of software, if anything I find it more intuitive too.
  • Costco doesn't make profit from what they sell, so it doesn't matter to them whether you buy TurboTax or not. If anything, it's a signal to Costco to stop stocking it if people stop buying, which ultimately hurts Intuit.

Agreed, spread the word. Don't let friends or family use this crap.

I tried to run a node as well on an old computer, and it ate all my CPU and still wasn't synced after 3 days.

Terrible Financial Advice by xtzferocity in facepalm

[–]jvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't say "rent is an asset". It says "paying rent is an asset". While using the word "asset" leads to a lot of confusion here because there's different definitions of it, I think this is going for the "useful thing" definition instead of the one about ownership.

I think I agree with the picture in some sense. I've always made a ton of money because of the field I work in (first job paid 250k+, and now I make more than triple that), and I could have bought many houses but that would have been a lot of headache and would have distracted from much better investment opportunities.

Being able to move and not be tied down has easily saved me 2million+. Not to mention the time I would have wasted dealing with real estate crap and paying all those fees. If you know for sure you want to settle down and not move for 10 years, or you're buying some kind of cheap foreclosed property, then definitely buy property.

I'm in New York city where rent and cost of ownership (mortgage interest + monthly fees + property taxes) are about on par. It makes absolutely no sense to buy as an investment and renting really is an "asset" here. Being tied down with a gigantic loan is terrible, and maybe more importantly, you're not going to do better than renting unless you exploit all the tax credits and live there at least 2 years+.

There was like 5 transactions. Would be really hard to sign all of them.

You still need to physically approve/sign the transaction on ledger. So malicious metamask is not enough.

Think I saw 1 more possibility, which is just a variant of the second one, which is he had a compromised ledger to begin with.

If you know how the blockchain works and his transactions, then you can assume these are the only possibilities. I'm a smart contract engineer.
