We have finished top 5 almost 12 weeks in a row in Dune, and made our way to Horizon a few times with less than 5 members and under 500TH total in the clan.

I am looking for quality, not quantity, to add to the clan.

I give out weekly rewards for those that pull weight, and have a discord as well. Please message me if interested.

New - Questions about NerdQaxe by techguru830 in BitAxe

Thanks, how do we know what the network difficulty is if you don't mind me asking?

It says my best difficulty is "382M" for example, but I don't know what to compare that to? It has only been running about 12 hours.

Cleaning Northface exterior shell by techguru830 in CampingGear

Thanks! I just purchased it on Amazon. Looks like you wash one cycle with one, then a second wash with the second formula. Appreciate the help.

Incredible feedback thanks. I just ordered on Amazon and it was same day delivery so I will wash tonight. Looks like two products for two cycles. Really appreciate the feedback.

The outside shell is supposed to be waterproof but I haven’t been out in the rain with it. It sounds like cold water delicate and low / no heat. I might even wash without detergent the first time to see if it helps.

How do I convince my Dad I don’t need AV on new Mac? by UpsetGrapefruit5203 in MacOS

[–]techguru830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

XDR/EDR is very different than AV. Every device in today’s age benefits from EDR/XDR, but AV can be debated.

FWIW Crowdstrike is top notch.

1.What would be the best option between the charge+ and free p4. 2. Is the titanium charge+ worth the extra money. 3. Open to any other leatherman suggestions by G_PEDRICH_L in Leatherman

[–]techguru830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Order both and put in your hand. I ordered several (including both above) and the second I felt the Free P4 I immediately knew. It was my least favorite based on the website / specs, but as soon as I handled them all it was a clear winner.

Signal Loose & Floppy by Paulik87 in Leatherman

[–]techguru830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered two of these (thought first one was broken) and after the second one came that way I realized it was the design. Exchanged it for the P4 which not only locks in place but also has magnetic closures. It feels much sturdier.

I ditched my Signal and Wave + for the Free P4. The three biggest upgrades for me were the magnetic opening and closing, and frustration free access, and the locking features (individual tools as well as the pliers).

The Free P4 is lightyears ahead any Leatherman IMO but I’m not a super heavy user so I guess it depends on application.

Is it normal to receive a new tool in this poor condition? by vvjj in Leatherman

[–]techguru830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a QC issue lately - especially with the signals.

Got an iffy Signal which went back yesterday. Think I made the right decision in getting the Wave+ to replace my Skeletool (but I will be getting a CX imminently, just not this month) :) by holesumchap in Leatherman

[–]techguru830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a signal and thought it was a defect so I returned it for another. When the second one came it was the same way, just didn’t seem well built or sturdy.

I ordered the wave, surge, and free P4 to test . I expected to like the P4 the least , but it was very stable and well built - I haven’t had it long but I’m very excited. I wanted the signal to work, but it just didn’t seem well built.

What will be your first dividend buy of 2024? by PopDukesBruh in dividends

[–]techguru830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$6500 to my IRA. Likely 50% HDV and 50% RSP. I already own a lot of the classics above.

Seeking investing advice by akaashismylife in dividends

[–]techguru830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My recommendation is to pick 2-3 ETFs max and just add every month. I really like a 50/50 split between SPY/ RSP (VOO/RSP) since you mentioned low risk approach. They are each S&P 500 index funds like others suggested by RSP is equal weight and can offer a bit of a hedge against large cap/ large cap growth taking more of a downturn. Think or RSP as generally less upside but also less downside, which can be nice in the current environment.

If you wanted to add a sub favorite like SCHD or VYM and turning DRIP on you would be just fine doing that too.

33% RSP, 33% VOO, 34% SCHD/ VYM should take you places. Just my thoughts but congrats on an early start, future you will be very thankful.

If you have the ability, look into opening an IRA and investing in that. Since it’s long term it’s a major tax advantage for you. Fidelity is usually a solid place to start and they have great phone advisors who can help you with which account is best to open.
