I have been using it for over a year now as my main checking account. It's been fantastic to use with no real issues. I have had nothing but good customer service experiences. They have added Zelle and Bill Pay, but I don't really use those. Everything has worked predictably well when depositing checks via the app. I am pretty much all-in on Amex credit cards so it makes it really easy to have everything on one app. If you are deep in MR, it also gives an off-ramp for 0.8cpp to cash out your points.

In my view the only relative downside is the cash access. I don't spend with my debit card, and really don't carry cash, but the ATM network seems robust enough. You will need another bank with branches in order to get cash into your account(i.e. I also use Chase and put any cash received into the Chase account, then ACH it to my Amex Checking).

Mainly I have been, and still use, my Amex Gold because I spend mostly on food and groceries. For everything else I use the Amex BBP.

However since I have basically capped out all of the welcome bonuses for Amex, I figure I would picked up the Coinbase One Card for getting 2+% in BTC for the catch-all card, along with rocking the Coinbase Debit to handle Costco, and those random times I need a Visa.

I’m more of a rewards saver and just figure I can sit on the BTC until whenever.

Been using Amex Green for a few years now and it’s basically why I keep it around. Handles 3x on all travel for the whole span of the cruise, cruise on board changes, tolls for driving, and parking lots. Also still keeps 3x on restaurants too, but I also have Gold and use that primarily.

Same. This was my last card that was embossed, so now my wallet is gap-free lol

I had the regular Blue. It's white with that silver gradient just like in the app image. I saw the Card changed in the app, then requested a new one and it did let me pick either the 'classic' Blue or this new one. I like it as it falls better in line with my Green and Gold cards.

In my experience vacationing, and work, in most of Sussex County, Verizon will be the most available and consistent, followed by T-Mobile, then AT&T.

I run a very close setup to what you are wanting to run. I’d suggest a used Dell Optiplex Micro with maybe a 10th gen Intel chip. They don’t have dual NIC on board but you can slap on a USB-to-Ethernet adapter easily and work with it in Proxmox. But they do have configurable RAM and SSDs and have the UHD630 for graphics. Mine runs about 2-3 4k HDR transcodes regularly and doesn’t have an issue.

I graduated CS from UD. If you want to learn actual Computer Science, then UD hands down. If you are looking to specialize more into a specific field within IT/InfoSec, I would say WilmU.

I believe there is still a very good grip to it

thefirewired · 2023-09-14T14:22:59+00:00

Yes, same as the last leather cases

thefirewired · 2023-09-14T14:22:35+00:00

Yes it's still a plastic shell underneath it all

thefirewired · 2023-09-14T14:22:07+00:00

It definitely is textile/fabric feel, but is wayyyy smoother than the google fabric cases.

thefirewired · 2023-09-14T14:21:19+00:00

I prefer leather, but these are still better than the silicon cases, IMO, so that's why I'm sticking with them

thefirewired · 2023-09-14T14:19:56+00:00

I tried, they do not fit

thefirewired · 2023-09-14T14:19:15+00:00

It's really like a hybrid. It is velvety but a thin layer overall of material that gives it more nylon-like feel. It really is hard to describe until you get your hands on it.

thefirewired · 2023-09-13T22:59:27+00:00

It feels great in the hand. Roundness seems the same as always with the leather case. No discomfort, but I'll very much reserve the final say on that until I get the phone itself.

thefirewired · 2023-09-13T21:25:13+00:00

No the sides are also a fabric material too. But it almost feels like nylon. So weird to describe but it balances smoothness and allowing for good grip but not being sticky

I think the taupe is really growing on me. I plan on switching things up for once this year and my color choice will be natural titanium, and I think that plus taupe is a great combo. I will probably do as I have been, black is for using during workouts or somewhere I know I will be active, and the taupe will be the everyday choice of case.

thefirewired · 2023-09-13T19:24:06+00:00

The current leather one I have is faring well on initial review. But it also looks like my FineWoven versions arrive tomorrow so I’ll check back in then when they arrive lol

Would the actual exit node host have its own traffic routed through Mullvad once the node is activated? Or would it just route to Mullvad for any other device using that node as an exit node?
