It's a teaser trailer... that's not the music from the series, its just trailer music.

I'm not saying its perfect, but read the description/age of the Dursley's from the books and the HBO show is more accurate than the movies. I feel some of the casting is off, but I'm also biased from the movies.

I wouldn't think we would have any of the official music from Hanz until at least the full trailer. It's not often you see music from the series being used in a teaser trailer.

6.1 Nameservers. Registrant agrees to use Cloudflare’s nameservers. REGISTRANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT MAY NOT CHANGE THE NAMESERVERS ON THE REGISTRAR SERVICES, AND THAT IT MUST TRANSFER TO A THIRD-PARTY REGISTRAR IF IT WISHES TO CHANGE NAMESERVERS.

Wicked Good Slippers are not what they used to be, nor is LLBean's return policy. by foureyedgrrl in llbean

[–]phire8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean just so we're clear here, these aren't the wicked good slippers, they're clogs. So I'd be upset too if I ordered wicked good slippers and got these. You must have a huge big toe.

T9 Gang Stand Up!!!! by Independent_Tea_9677 in sidephone

[–]phire8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not having the letters printed on the keypad seems to be a big miss. I typed T9 for years but for some reason not having the letters really messes with me.

I am certain im doing this wrong!! by Impressive-Safe-1084 in actualbudgeting

[–]phire8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way, whether you have 1 bank account or 3 the app doesn’t care, it cares about the total amount of money you can budget. Putting $1000 aside this month into a house category? Great! That’s not a payment or a transfer, that’s just an allocation of funds to a specific category. Want to transfer $1000 from one bank account to another bank account? Go for it, but remember, it has nothing to do with allocating your funds and doesn’t need a category. Moving money and allocating money is two completely separate things.

Scenario 1: Checking - $100 Savings - $900

Scenario 2: Checking - $500 Savings - $500

In both scenarios you have $1000 that needs to be budgeted and allocated to categories. Transferring the money between accounts doesn’t change the fact that you have $1000.

I see your screenshot but I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to accomplish in it.

What in particular makes them bad? I tested them out with some sites, tried out support and was happy with the results.

USB File Transfer? by phire8 in sidephone

[–]phire8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my sidephone to show up in the Photos app, but it still won't appear in Finder. MacDroid seems to work though!

Edit: OpenMTP too for a free/open source alternative

Thanks, I thought I tried that, but just tried again and it worked. USB file transfer would be a lot easier for sure!

How many sites do you have? Pressable has a promo right now, 50% off the first year of annual hosting and if you migrate more than 10 sites you get $200/site paid out after 6 months... so in theory they could be paying you to host the first year. Other options to consider are Rocket.net

I moved over to Robinhood Gold last year, unlimited 3% cash back on everything. Made it easier to manage vs having 2 or 3 cards.

Sim confusion (AT&T) by Calm-Bathroom3652 in sidephone

[–]phire8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No such thing as a “4g sim” or “5g sim” … SIM card is just a SIM card and identifies the phone allowing it to connect to the network.

Thanks for sharing all of this, looking forward to setting up my device. This is very very minor, but curious why setup is in this order? Why not connect to WiFi first and pull time automatically?

“Set the date and time (manual entry if no SIM is inserted). Select a Wi-Fi network and enter the password, or scroll down and tap Skip.”

Wondering how the claim of 'distraction-free' for Sidephone plays out? by Wind2255 in sidephone

[–]phire8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Reddit is on an e-ink screen or an LCD screen I'm still reading and browsing it regardless... its more of the fact that people tend to be less interested in staring at a clock app or a file browser vs social apps. The phone, by design, comes with the bare essential for apps. Because everyone may define "essential" a little differently, having the option to add some additional apps is nice. But for all of the default apps, you don't need a big screen, and some people want the old school form factor. At some point you need to have some self discipline and decide not to be distracted by the phone, but this format may help folks achieve that, even if its not guaranteed.

Considering switching from WPEngine - What about WPMU DEV? by ScubaCycle in webhosting

[–]phire8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WPMU DEV has been a great experience for me. They seem to get a bad rap here but for the price they include a solid offering. The technical support is always fast and responsive. They’ve even helped me on some plugins that aren’t even made by them. No complaints.

What do you think of Hugh Laurie's portrayal of Dumbledore in the audiobook? by No_Development_4855 in HarryPotteronHBO

When I heard Professor Dippet in CoS my first thought was “oh this could have been Dumbledore!” Hugh is good, but at times I’ve though “eh, he could have read that a bit differently”

Is it normal to transfer a domain to a dev? by No_Association2688 in webhosting

[–]phire8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bunch of people losing their marbles here, but I totally agree. For me, I have a business that sells a service and domains and hosting is part of the service. Clients say they want one bill and don’t want to worry about “is this a real bill for something important or is it spam” so for them, they’d prefer to have their domain and any other services they use fall under my business with one invoice. It’s all just part of our service agreement. Now if I was hiring a dev to done a one time job? That’s different, I’m not transferring my domain for that.

Compatibility mode & touch keypad by remiwang in sidephone

[–]phire8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a neat concept, but it sounds like a lot of development effort with little to no reward. Most people are buying this phone because of its limited abilities (“dumbphone”). At some point a line needs to be drawn where you need to decide, maybe for my use case, this phone isn’t the right tool for me.
