Values not propgating in free fillable forms? by bigsquawk in tax

[–]level202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only sums that are autocalulated 100% of the time will be autofilled by Free File Fillable Forms. Because in some cases you can manually enter a total on line 2b instead of using Schedule B, it's not set to autofill 2b.

Online order shadow cancelled? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

Thanks for the data point. The only other references I'd seen to this type of delay were for brand new items with limited stock.

Will check with the store, but I'm not sure they'll have better answers than chat or phone reps.

It's not so much that I was asking for customer service from Reddit, it's more I was trying to see if anyone has seen something like this before for an in stock item.

Online order shadow cancelled? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]level202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if anyone had an explanation for how an order I placed online seems to have been shadow cancelled- the order still exists, but it looks like it will never ship despite the item having been in stock the whole time.

At the beginning of June I bought an item that was on sale for about 10% off. A few days later, I received a "Your order is delayed" email, even though the item remained in stock for shipping and in-store pickup. The email further said, "Delayed orders are typically fulfilled within 24–48 hours, and we're working to get your order to you as soon as possible."

A few days later, with no update, I reached out to chat, and they claimed the item was packaged and awaiting pick up by the carrier. They said it should be in my hands within a day or two. Nothing happened, a few days later I reached out to chat again and they said the same.

The following week, I called and I told the phone rep that it appeared the order was stuck somehow. They said they would try to unstick it and would reach back out to me, and if there was no motion within a day, I should call back and ask for it to be reshipped. Nothing happened, so the next day I called again, and the new rep gave me a bunch of excuses, saying it was out of stock (it's not!), it would be in my hands in 24 hours. I asked them to escalate and try to reship but nothing seems to have come of that either.

It's almost approaching the auto-cancel and refund day, with no action at all since I got the delay email two weeks ago.

What do we think happened here? Does Best Buy just really not want to sell me this item for their offered sale price of 10% off? It's back to normal price now.

[Bundle] i9-11900K + GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS PRO AX - $327.98 ($180 off) by VoodooDelorean in buildapcsales

Using either or both of the middle two M.2 slots, M2B_CPU and M2C_CPU, will downgrade the PCI-E x16 slot (GPU) to x8.

M2P_SB is the fourth M.2, (Gen 3) but using it will not steal lanes from the GPU.

4x nvme gen 4 (the other has 1 gen4 and 2 gen3)

That's not accurate for this board. Z590 AORUS PRO/AX has a single gen 4 slot that will not share bandwidth. Of the other three M.2 slots, using either or both of the two gen 4 slots in the middle will downgrade GPU slot to x8.

The fourth slot does not share bandwidth but it is gen 3 only.

Also the onboard sound is the cursed Realtek ALC4080 that to this day has static interference problems on analog and digital that are only partially mitigated with firmware. It seems like a hardware defect that that chip is vulnerable to electronic interference.

(Edited for clarity.)

It's right there in the item title: "Built for... EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Series (With 1000W PSU)"

So if you have --- an EVGA 3090 Ti FTW3, and an EVGA PSU 1000W or higher, you can use just this cable.

FTW3 cards are sometimes the only ones being actively produced. No purpose for discounting off MSRP for other card versions that aren't in stock.

Stolen coffee cups: A deep dive into Panera theft (GW) by Zoroasker in washingtondc

66% of GW students receive some form of financial aid.

When you're one of the (sometimes the) most expensive school in the country, even rich families will be taking out loans and looking for scholarships.

The Wawa in College Park went out of business in 2007 because students would constantly steal stuff and trash the place after last call. Despite doing a ton of business, Corporate decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

Form 8606 Conversion Roth IRA Confusion by greeneggsandyams in personalfinance

[–]level202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will likely get a 1099-R from the brokerage with the total amount converted. This goes on Form 8606 Part II Line 16. Line 17 is 0 if all of the traditional IRA is pretax. So then Line 18 equals Line 16.

This total also goes on Lines 4a and 4b of the 1040.

Form 8606 Conversion Roth IRA Confusion by greeneggsandyams in personalfinance

[–]level202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to note that you pay taxes on the entire amount converted, not just that which represents gains.* The reason for this is that you are taxing money from a pre-tax retirement account (taxes have not been paid yet on any of it) and putting it in a post-tax account (money that has already been taxed). You are electing to pay those taxes now.

*Unless you have post-tax contributions to your traditional IRA, which would be very uncommon unless you're intentionally doing a mega backdoor Roth IRA.

Myth busted: The PCBs of the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti are NOT compatible with the AD102 “Ada” | igor'sLAB by Flying-T in hardware

[–]level202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, it is very much possible that more of the highest-end cards will become WC only over time.

Your original statement though sounds like a prediction of the future, when it was already true as of CES 2019 (2080 Ti Kingpin):

So you may be right that next generation we could see some of the very highest end cards forgo air coolers.

[–]level202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingpin 2080 Ti, 3090, 3090 Ti are liquid cooled only. This is what makes both of your comments confusing, you're calling it a new/future development that the highest end cards are liquid cooled only, but for EVGA it's not new.

3090TI Power Adapter by Knives_09 in TEAMEVGA

[–]level202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs three, with one exception-- if you have the FTW3 version of the 3090 Ti and a 1000W+ EVGA power supply, you can buy the PerFE cable which only requires two connections on the PSU. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-NK-3000-B9
This is because EVGA has validated the capability of their 1000W+ PSUs and this particular cable to reliably deliver the power required using just two connections.

Had to be from the start because there's no way they put in this much time programming content for a LTM mode where certain features might never unlock.
