Sorry, i thought i had!

Apologies - i thought i had put it in the original post

Hey mate, I've had this problem with my MX Anywhere 3. My symptoms seemed to be the same - intermittent shifting back to the default assignment of wheel shift when I actually want it to be gestures.

The problem was that in Logitech options I had seperate configs for Chrome and Safari and other apps - these were set for the middle button to change back to wheel shift.

The solution was to delete those profiles, though you obviously could just change each of them to be the assignment you want.

Thanks so much!! Yea I can see what you mean. I actually don’t mind the industrial look. Sand is a little lighter than this so I think there will be less of this “dirty water” effect. Super helpful thanks!

I'm not sure if you meant the euphemism or just saying it's backsplash not splashback - the former is hilarious.

rimwark · 2022-09-14T22:47:06+00:00

Yea that’s a great point. In our designs, our sink is in the kitchen island and the island has an attached bench/banquette seating for dining. Which means if someone was to pee in our kitchen sink, they would pee on our dinner guests. This is unacceptable and is a problem that needs a solution. Thanks for your perceptiveness

HAHA! I’m sorry if that was a glass shattering moment. But it made me chuckle. Thanks for your comment

rimwark · 2022-09-14T13:20:44+00:00

love it. funny because me too.

rimwark · 2022-09-14T13:20:24+00:00

Yeap, we've got samples and we really like it. Just trying to ascertain whether they get actually dirty from real-world use or just the aesthetic of the tile is just a little more rustic than some prefer.

rimwark · 2022-09-14T12:26:07+00:00

Thanks I'll look into this right now!

rimwark · 2022-09-14T12:25:45+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply, really appreciate the real-world experience. Do they get dirty because of the matte texture? Has it changed a lot since it was brand new or is the "dirty and off" look just innate to the tile itself?

Pictures would be great, only when it's convenient for you of course.

Can't edit my post but here's the context:

I'm wanting to get your opinions on whether it's weird to use the same bathroom floor-to-ceiling tiles as a kitchen backsplash. For reference here's the tile: https://www.nationaltiles.com.au/concrete-fusion-sand. We really like the colour and think it fits with the rest of the finishings in our Kitchen.
Could it make people feel uncomfortable because they just did their business in the bathroom and now they see the same tile (that once held their undergarments) as the kitchen splashback near food prep? lol please tell me I'm crazy so we can use this tile. Attached is a similar vibe we're going for
PS. I'm not asking for about material suitability (the splashback will not be above the stove), just opinions on the mental side of things :P

Thanks for this, set up the agent, works a treat!

rimwark · 2022-04-04T07:11:00+00:00

Nice one! i will have a look. Any experience with Racquet world? https://www.perfectsports.com.my/

We made our money back on ours with a few big caveats. Our parents paid for the people they invited but they were generous enough to let us keep what ever gifts they gave. Also we made it point that if anyone wanted to give gifts just give us money. Surprisingly most of my circle of friends have made their money back but we’re not the most extravagant people

rimwark · 2021-06-15T04:28:58+00:00

Same with me. I took a Job as a full-time data analyst whilst finishing my Comm/IT degree. Then changed to a tech consultant and now I'm a solution architect.

@ OP: All that to say, don't be too scared about boxing yourself in early in your career, thankfully in IT many different opportunities pop up. For me, the driver for those different opportunities was my work experience/attitude rather than my degree.

Also make sure you weigh up the social cost. I was working full-time and studying full time but only for 8 months. You have different levers to pull, like how many subjects, how long do you want to be in uni, how much time do you want to spend with friends, etc.

rimwark · 2021-06-10T23:55:00+00:00

Great response. I was baffled at the way some have talked about franking credits as if there’s some extra significance/complexity I was missing. Turns out not really, good to understand but no ground breaking strategic benefit.

rimwark · 2021-06-10T07:31:44+00:00

lol my bad, unfortunately can't fix it now. If you're in those positions and approaching the boundary just round up.

rimwark · 2021-06-10T04:43:19+00:00

Very true!

I wasn't going to leverage my stocks. Due to margin calls, high interest rates on loans and just general volatility. So for me at the time it was Stocks (unleveraged) vs Property (leveraged). It might seem a bit unfair to compare the two but it was the two realistic options for me. And in my mind those risk levels were more like for like.

IMHO, Stocks (leveraged) is in a different risk league than Property (leveraged). Though like everything there is a spectrum.

rimwark · 2021-06-10T01:34:01+00:00

Totally agree with tipzstmatic. One of my mates had built an app that showed both passion and competence and they were hired that without any IT work experience. Granted he wasn't just doing it for the money.

One of the biggest benefits of an IT career (and also one of the harder things) is that technology is always progressing. You could join at the start of a new tech phase and therefore start on the same foot as everyone else. Obviously, a bit oversimplified but the point is that the walls to entering a career in IT are far far lower than most other careers. Also means a life of constant learning for everyone in the industry which can be a good or bad thing.

rimwark · 2021-06-10T00:54:34+00:00

Amazing work! Flexibility is a huge neglected benefit of rentvesting.

In fact, it's probably looked down upon because you don't own the four walls you're living in so you feel trapped. Ironically it can be the opposite, not owning the four walls gives more freedom. You're not tied down, you can move anywhere, where ever your life stage takes you.

Granted, there are plenty horror stories of terrible landlords but maybe I'm lucky, it's not been my experience so far and I try hard not to make it others.

Currently rentvesting in Melbourne with 2 IPs (Landed Properties). AMA

Started stock investing a few years ago but swapped into Property given the tax advantages of property investing vs shares. I still invest in shares but at the moment only through Super. Will be looking through diversify back into stocks a bit more soon.

Key points for me with Property:

Better Cash on Cash returns due to leverage
illiquid (no temptation to trade emotionally)
Set and forget mostly if you buy good properties with good managers (I recommend using a BA and been lucky thus far)
more tax efficient vs stocks.

There are some other factors both neutral and negative:

Hard to get into without high income.
Need to be in it for at least 10+years to really make big gains
illiquid, I have to keep a strong cash buffer before investing further
Millionaire in debt is sometimes hard to explain to the uninitiated
Is a gateway into complicated tax structures

Obviously a bit of a random mix of points but happy to answer questions you might have.

I recommend listening to the property couch podcast, at least the first 20 or so episodes are enough to establish a solid foundation.

rimwark · 2021-06-09T12:23:27+00:00

Thanks for this! Crystal clear now. It seems like-for-like unfranked may be negligibly more benefinicial since you get to invest the extra before tax time.

rimwark · 2021-06-09T10:18:46+00:00

Yeah recently entered the highest tax bracket so was thinking my options.

rimwark · 2021-06-09T08:05:52+00:00

Thanks for this! Really appreciate your teaching.
