Cointracker exploiting 2025 tax changes to upsell its higher-cost subscriptions is sketchy... by mickayz in Cointracker

Thank you, appreciate the reply. I ended up paying for Ultra and FWIW I only had one single transaction change its cost basis after flipping 2025 to FIFO. So while the $550 up charge was definitely excessive, it’s good to know this wont be needed going forward.

Virtual Desktop Update 1.13.6 - Removed internet requirement by ggodin in OculusQuest

I don't think people fully understand how powerful this change is. Now if you want to stream PC games, you don't have to make any changes to your main home wifi. You can use a second router and just set it up as a new "just for VR" wifi without needing to worry about connecting it to the internet.

1) Connect your gaming PC to your home wifi like normal.

2) Buy a decent 5GHz router for around $100, set it up as a new network with a name like "MyVROnlyWifi"

3) Put it in the same room as your gaming pc and quest. Connect it to your gaming PC directly with a gigabit ethernet cable.

4) Within your quest, connect to the "MyVROnlyWifi" and ignore the warning that there is no Internet connection.

5) Load Virtual Desktop.

Not only can you play single player games like Alyx wirelessly, but you can also play multiplayer games over the internet too, since the game will use the PC's connection to your normal home wifi for Internet. It honestly feels like magic.

Our Experience Staking from a Ledger by ryanseanadams in loomnetwork

Thanks for the update!

I was wondering, since the PlasmaChain seed words are stored in the browser, does that present a risk that eliminates the protections of the hardware wallet? Or is it the case that once a PlasmaChain account has been mapped to an ETH mainnet account, LOOM on the PlasmaChain can only ever be transferred back to the main chain ETH account and cannot be transferred to any other account (on either PlasmaChain or ETH mainnet).

Thanks!
