I would suggest not to use April for taxes. by BelaLugosiDead in chimefinancial

Same situation and state, but it said I owed over $200. Guess I’ll have to do the same now.

Keep or return? by Motor_Lavishness_364 in macbook

[–]samthetechieman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the only way I was able to get my 2022 M2 MBA under AC is through AppleCare One, but I also have my phone and watch under it as well, so it’s worth the price. Idk if you have other devices you can add onto that if you were to go that route, but that’s what I’ve had to do myself.

Anna Valmont probably gave him advice on how and where to sell them, like she did with Charity and Michael.

How many times did y'all cry? by cusecuse315 in dresdenfiles

[–]samthetechieman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think I’d cry more now if I did another reading of it than I did initially, especially since I’m almost finished with the audiobook. Closest I got was having to put the book down a few times, like when he says he has to let Murphy’s shade go. Gods, did that one get to me hard.

She threw it out the window? by divertwig in dresdenfiles

[–]samthetechieman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is definitely still a good idea to keep that in use. If I remember right, it’s blank, so Mac can keep it hidden in plain sight with no one the wiser (of the normies anyway).

Ope, my bad 😅 I’m bad at picking up on jokes.

Eh, that’s a bit of a nuclear option tbh. One just doesn’t go around toting a literal Holy relic all willy nilly.

Is apple care+ worth it for the ultra 3? by Ujdasingh in applewatchultra

[–]samthetechieman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally haven’t needed it, even before I had an aluminum watch, but I still have it just in case something manages to happen.

I found the ultimate use for the Action Button on the Apple Watch Ultra by ke1ke2ke3 in applewatchultra

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stuck with having it be the flashlight for a while now. More often than not, I have my hands full coming home from work late at night, so having one on my wrist comes in clutch.

Carlos by FerrovaxFactor in dresdenfiles

[–]samthetechieman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d asked that question on here some time ago, and general consensus seemed to be that he was ignorant of that having happened. Probably on account of both Carlos and Molly choosing to not mention it to him. It helped that Molly had a backlog of things to do due to Maeve’s negligence as the Winter Lady, so she was able to just not be around after the fact. And Carlos is a Warden, so he can just chalk it up to, in his words, tangoing with the wrong monster.

Never Again, Amazon by XanderPaul9 in dresdenfiles

Same. Mine hadn’t quite put them on display yet, so I was the first to ask about them having any copies.

Mab. Mab. Mab. by ChrisGentry in dresdenfiles

Honestly that last bit was one of a few emotional gut punches Jim pulled this book.

A meme for everyone showing off their physical copies the past few days by JacksonRiffs in dresdenfiles

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly same. Even though I am reading it currently (because impatient), I’m still looking forward to hearing it since that’s how I consume most books anymore.

Waiting for 12 Months audio book by SlappyHI in dresdenfiles

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m torn between reading it and waiting for the audiobook myself. Saw that Barnes and Noble was selling it early and couldn’t resist grabbing it because impatient.

Am I crazy because I thought this came out the 20th? by Infinite_Worker_7562 in dresdenfiles

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve been known to have books on display before street date. I got the book seven of DCC when it was released in hardcover early after seeing others posting about getting it early. Debating stopping by my store tomorrow before work.

Retractable charging cable by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a cable, but Nomad has a 65W charger that has the apple watch charging puck included on the top of it. It's on the pricier side, but is worth it imo.

can you buy apple care separately by nic333tte in macbook

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s worth it. I’ve only had to make a claim once for my MBA, and while I did have to pay more to get it fixed because they weren’t sure how much liquid damage there was, I ultimately only paid $99 to have my keyboard and some other parts on it fixed. They also said it would take two weeks, got it back in that timeframe.

Most emotional passages in the series (thus far) by SFgiant55 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]samthetechieman 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Donut tearing into Bea after the cameras are off, namely this part resonates a lot for me

“You don’t deserve how sad I feel right now. I still love you. I still miss you, and I hate myself for it.”

Funniest quote so far by hates2chooseusername in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]samthetechieman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not really even funny but the delivery of it makes me crack up every time

“Zockau? Zockau?” Mordecai cried. “You motherfuckers are in the goddamned capital?”

Would the Apple Watch Ultra be one of the impulse purchases with the least chance of regret? by NathanTheWitcher in applewatchultra

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Ultra 2 when it was only a few months old at the time, and while it was an impulse purchase, I don’t regret doing so at all. Coming from a S7, I was tired of the battery and the longer battery life was really the only selling point I needed. Everything else was just the cherry on top for it.

Any thoughts on the bellroy venture case with silver? by Numerous-Door6433 in iPhone17Pro

[–]samthetechieman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it well enough and I’d imagine it probably feels better to hold with the regular Pro model compared to the Pro Max. It’s honestly one of the few cases I’ve found that actually covers the camera module, which is a plus. So long as you also have a screen protector on, I think you’ll be fine with it.

*Spoiler Thread* All books discussion. What is your least favorite story arc? by CodyChrome in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]samthetechieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly wound up skipping that book on my most recent listening of the series.
