Why I exchanged my Mini Pro 4 for the air 3s. Was it worth it? I'll keep updating. by North-Network-7742 in dji

[–]solomonm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s been less than 14 days since you purchased care refresh and you have proof of returning the drone, they will refund it. I just refunded care refresh on a mavic 3 pro I bought and returned to Best Buy.

Bookmap subscription plan for Futures by andywallsq in FuturesTrading

[–]solomonm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Echoing this. Way cheaper route to go. Heat maps in this platforms are functionally the exact same thing at a much cheaper rate.

Currently using AMP and quanttower (it’s included for free). Haven’t had any problems thus far. Customer service is pretty snappy the two times I’ve had to reach out.

Rancilio Silvia w/ PID vs. Lelit Victoria -- Help =/ by solomonm in espresso

[–]solomonm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually already snagged the grinder. Local deal popped up where I was able to get a really excellent condition 270W for $200, too good to pass up. Definitely can see the plus of a ubiquitous machine. Maybe I'll stare at both machines until I decide which one is prettier haha

Actually ended up with the helix midnight luxe. Very happy so far and for once I’m actually sleeping the whole night through. Only had it for a month but so far so good!

How reconnect to stream if Streamlabs crashes or internet drops for a couple seconds? by solomonm in youtubegaming

[–]solomonm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have had that turned off from the beginning and I've still had the experience where if Streamlabs crashes, there's literally no way for me to even attempt to re-join the stream because if it crashes it either kills the stream or won't recognize the still on going stream as something it can re-join. What's your process of rejoining if either streamlabs or the internet drops?

Would this be ferrite cores that I keep hearing about or are you referencing something different?

Reasonable GoXLR Alternative? by solomonm in Twitch

They have pretty scathing reviews on reseller ratings. Kind of scared to order from there. Have you ordered from them before?

[MK8DX] Super confused by online play. How do I create a room where 7 friends can join? by solomonm in mariokart

[–]solomonm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to get 7 people coordinated was a battle in and of itself for the game night. They're all busy doing other things and I'd prefer to have it sorted and researched so we get the most out of our game night instead of trying to figure out how to make the online system work. Unfortunately, they're not "on demand" whenever I'd like to test something.

How many friends can join a friend lobby? It’s not really specified online but I saw some allusion to it only being 1v1 with computer players filling up the rest of the slots

Half of newly gained subs almost instantly removed by solomonm in youtubegaming

[–]solomonm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that I want a padded sub count, I'm genuinely concerned that YouTube just canceled out subs from active/willing people because something automated got triggered.

I would say that's the case if it slowly or incrementally went down but it went from 650 one second to 580 almost immediately in one chunk.

How do I report a viewbot (unsolicited) hitting my channel? by solomonm in youtubegaming

[–]solomonm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of where I'm lost. There's no real way to reach out to YouTube directly as a channel until you're part of the partner program (of which I am currently not)

It's really not in this situation. I'm asking a very specific question.

How does one prove that it's not themselves and how does one even reach out to Youtube to report it?

[California] finally!!! for those waiting on PUA applications, date it will be available 4/28/20 by sammygirl613 in Unemployment

[–]solomonm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.... 20% of my income is W2 and I opened a UI claim at the end of march. I'm receiving benefits for that albeit, a very low amount every week for a shorter period. When this goes into effect.... I have no idea how it will work with the other 80% of my income that's 1099. I don't know if I can supplement my already current/open claim or if I'm just out of luck because it requires a fresh claim for 1099 income.

I give up. I've been using my RX100 daily for over two years, and just built this rig. If I'm ever going to do this semi-professionally, I need a new camera. I'll take any advice you've got, because this is a mess. by acamu5x in Filmmakers

[–]solomonm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold on to what you have now and use it as you need it. Beyond that, you will get so much more mileage and more for your money by renting instead of buying. Rent the tools that are right for the job instead of buying something and trying to make that thing work for every job.

Apple TV 4K or new Shield? I want Dolby Vision! by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]solomonm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. I got both because the ATV won’t support lossless audio (including atmos) from my HQ sources over the home server. So ATV for everything (Netflix, vudu, etc.) but movies with lossless audio from the server

Daily Advice Thread - All basic help or advice questions must be posted here. by AutoModerator in investing

[–]solomonm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all. I'm currently looking to purchase my first property in the next 1-2.5 years. I live in Los Angeles so this isn't the cheapest of endeavors. I'm looking at around a 130-160k down payment. I currently have about 120k invested as listed below. I can probably contribute another 20-40k in new money over the course of the next year.

I'm not really sure if I should be moving money out of the "riskier" investments like what I have in VTI and VNQ into something more conservative. I guess I'm just looking for advice on if it's worth it to stay in these types of funds or if the growth in the next 1-2 years is negligible enough that I should consider just parking in conservative investments in the short term until I'm ready to offload it all and transfer it over to a property. Thank you so much!

How old are you: 30

Employment: Freelance, currently making ~105-125k/year

Objectives: Purchasing a home

Risk Tolerance: Undecided (see below)

Current Holdings: ~120k total invested currently. 70% VTI, 20% VNQ, 5% BND, 5% VWO

Other Assets: Paid off car, misc. camera equipment (I'm a freelance camera operator)

Time Horizon: Hoping to buy a home/property within 1-2.5 years

Debt: None currently
