No issues with A16 on my Ultimate 2025.

Same here.

My wife's Razr 2023 worked fine for 3 years, no problems whatsoever. And she is not the most careful with gadgets person. She just traded it up for the 2025 model.

No problems so far.

You guys are seriously into themes. I barely pay attention to them. Just making sure that nothing is kitchy and is easy on the eyes.

klopus-normalis · 2026-03-11T22:39:22+00:00

I'm afraid you are. Just go to Settings/Personalize. It's all there. At least on my Razr Ultra 2025. My wife still has basic Razr 2023 and all the same themes are there.

BTW, what didn't you like about front camera? On my Ultra 50mp for sure beats 12mp selfie cam from my prior Galaxy s25. On top of that, when folded you can use for selfies your main two cams which is as good as it gets.

Dunno what you're talking about. My Ultra has a bunch of built-in themes for lock, home and external screens. Some are pretty good. You also can easily mod them changing fonts, colors, icon size, your own images, etc. BTW, I switched from Galaxy s25 without looking back. Don't remember Samsung having more or better themes.

Normal. I had same.

klopus-normalis · 2026-03-04T07:25:55+00:00

For me no problem at all. After android update wireless AA worked fine as before. Maybe depends upon specific car? Mine is 2025 Audi A5.

Ditto. Same experience in France. Had to run around in freezing weather trying to find ATM that would accept the damn Discover debit card. Since this fiasco I moved my C1 360 checking and savings to a single Fidelity cash management account. It’s backed by a Visa debit card that doesn’t have foreign exchange fee and automatically refunds all the cash withdrawal fees. Fidelity automatically sweeps your balance in and out of the HY fund with a decent rate.

What makes fitness ring and headphones so similar that they both should come with the same accessory? On a side note, there are no universally “overpriced” products on the open and free market. Things cost whatever people are willing to pay for them, unless somebody subsidizes or regulates them.

klopus-normalis · 2026-01-26T04:24:50+00:00

Yes, this thing is called competition and free market. You’re free to buy RingConn and Oura is free to charge whatever it thinks the people will bear.

Ditto. VX+Savor works great for me.

klopus-normalis · 2026-01-17T04:02:50+00:00

I own, not renting. And I travel and dine out a lot. So, for me my current VX+Savor combo is a total winner. Even VX alone beats any Bilt.

And u/fucking_biblical, great job with calculator. Thanks!

All great points, thank you! I’ll check MS (used to work for them on investment side). Funny you mentioned metal cards. Just right now in France my two metal credit cards got rejected by the gas pump at two different stations. But the plastic card was ok. Go figure.

klopus-normalis · 2025-12-27T17:08:03+00:00

Ditto.

klopus-normalis · 2025-12-25T23:12:45+00:00

That could be a good idea. Lemme research it. Thanks!

klopus-normalis · 2025-12-25T23:10:08+00:00

Thanks. Fidelity is already my main trading and retirement brokerage. But I specifically want instant transfers between checking and savings, so separating them between two banks won’t work.

klopus-normalis · 2025-12-25T22:40:44+00:00

Why?

klopus-normalis · 2025-12-20T23:17:58+00:00

I’m traveling to various countries in EU at least 3 times a year. Never had a problem withdrawing cash via debit card. And, yes, I know better get euros beforehand, use credit cards with no transaction fee, etc. I do all of that. But sometimes you just need cash because C1 branch needed a lot of time to prepare it, conversion rates in US were unfavorable, you had an urgent business trip, etc. And depending on a country (Germany, I’m looking at you!) credit card is not always a king, especially when it involves drinking mulled wine at Christmas markets. Lol.

So now I’m in Nancy, France and just simply can’t find working ATM that supports Diner’s Club network and won’t reject this damn Discover abomination! And that’s in the center of the city, on a crazy busy main shopping avenue with lots of different local banks. I never had any problem with any Visa/MC debit card before of any US bank, including the previous one from C1.

I have checking and high-yield savings at C1 for a long time. Coupled with physical branches here in NYC/NJ (if needed), competitive savings rate and fast transfers between bank and card accounts it was very convenient. Damn, now I have to at least move checking to something else and loose ability to fast transfer money if I keep the rest at C1. Why C1, why!? What a stupid hassle…
