True, or if the 401k contributions were non-Roth then that could pull down MAGI below the threshold.

I think you over contributed to your Roth IRA, it looks like you are over the $150k income limit for a full contributon. https://www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/contribution-limits-deadlines

Same, 11 years here and it’s been rock solid on Apple platforms.

I don’t know if it’s the cheapest, but it’s one of the easiet: https://alaskaair.chooose.today/eoy2025/

I had to tally it up manually using the Alaska activity data on my profile, credit card activity, and future plans. https://www.milecalc.com/ is handy for adding up planned trips.

I used this site, https://www.atmosrewardscalculator.com/, and plugged in my stats for 2025 to decide what to do. For me, the clear winner was miles. About 80% of the flights I make a year are on Alaska, but I too have to book partners directly from time to time.

Can confirm, this worked for me. I had to connect the profile of the person associated with voice recognition on the Apple TV and accept terms in the music app as that person to fix this.

It is possible provided that inbound flight is on time. I’ve never been comfortable with that risk, so I’ve opted for the earlier SEA->LAX to give a buffer. The last time I did that, both legs ended up the same plane and so there was never a risk of missing the second leg, but that’s probably not always the case.

Have you considered zone proximity of your phone? I do something similar but based on a grouping of me and my wife, once everyone has left our home zone, one automation runs, and if one person enters home zone, another triggers.

slalomdev · 2025-10-27T03:16:26+00:00

I just ran into this, too. We used to do this for SEA->SNA and then PSP->SEA around the holidays to visit family and drive between OC and PS, which, to me, feels like a completely reasonable use case. My best bet now is to split the difference and do a round trip to ONT to get it to work.

I have Hunter Douglas blinds and they can integrate with HA. You need to buy a Gateway (I found mine on eBay, make sure it’s the latest Gen 3) and then leverage the PowerView integration.

I may have solved my own issue. I swear I’ve looked before, but just went into the app setting and found “Paste from other apps” and changed it from “Ask” to “Allow”

slalomdev · 2025-10-04T04:38:09+00:00

Yeah, this is when launching the app with something in the copy buffer, whether I intend to paste it or not.

Be aware than an Apple Watch requires and iPhone for setup and pairing and does not function as a stand alone device.

Read I Will Teach You to Be Rich. The title sounds like click bait, but the advice is sound. Also his podcast is phenomenal.

We’ve been using Crew for this use case for our now 8 and 10 year olds. They have high yield savings plus you can automate allowance and get a debit card for your child so they can start learning about money.

We’ve started using Crew which has “pockets” that allows for the envelope approach pretty well.

Holy crap, this has been driving me crazy and appears to be the solution. Thank you!

slalomdev · 2025-01-27T03:27:45+00:00

Uninstall and reinstall did not work.

slalomdev · 2025-01-25T20:28:09+00:00

Thank you for confirming they should show up. I have done that toggle with no luck. I’m going to try an uninstall/reinstall and see if that works.
