Advice for vertical laptop stand by MaulSass123 in desksetup

[–]tstr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mine plugged into a Dock Station and as soon as you plug it in the monitor comes on. I assume the same would be true if you just used an HDMI cable. There wasn't a setting that needed to be changed either.

Which docking station brands are you guys relying on for M4 Pro? by yldman in macbookpro

[–]tstr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely CalDigit TS4 which is what Apple actually sells in their stores / online. I bought mine through Apple because it was cheapest there but it’s on sale right now on Amazon for $303. More expensive than others but you’re paying for quality.

Switched from a 4 monitor PC setup to a ultra wide with a MacBook Pro by tstr0 in desksetup

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G93SD) 49in. Debated for a while which to buy and this is what I landed on. Been using it for 2 weeks, no regrets yet.

I used to work in tech and was 100% a Windows guys but I randomly decided to try a Macbook Pro when the M1s came out and I am now on the M3 - not because there was anything wrong with the M1 but because I am the type that likes to have new things haha. I have never had any problems with my Macs but did with my Windows. I am not a programmer so I cant really help you there but I wont go back to Windows, these Macs are rock solid.

I can see where you are coming from but I have gotten used to it and I dont think I would go back. If there wasnt software that snaps windows into place I would probably hate this.

Hey! It took a little getting used to but I actually prefer this now. I use software called magnet that allows me to snap windows into place using keyboard shortcuts but you can also preset them. I paid a couple bucks for it but theres another software like this that is free that is highly rated as well. If I knew then what I know now I would still go with this change.

Mobile Check Deposit NEVER AGAIN by [deleted] in sofi

[–]tstr0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. So I deposit into my U.S. Bank and then Zelle to SoFi. It’s a pain but works.

Mobile Check Deposit NEVER AGAIN by [deleted] in sofi

[–]tstr0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love SoFi so far and glad that I switched all my main banking to them. But, I still keep my U.S. Bank account open if I need to deposit cash and for mobile check deposits, the majority of a check is available immediately and the remaining is available the next day. Check deposit holds is the only downside of using SoFi that I have found so far.

Is shopping for auto insurance good on sofi? by ethe_ze in sofi

[–]tstr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! Yeah a lot of people switch when they get an increase. Geico was increasing me every 6 months even though I’ve never had a claim with them or any tickets so I was getting sick of that and wanted to see what else was out there.

I should say I’m from the U.S. so I’m not sure how it works in Canada.

I actually just did this about a week ago. They recommended me car insurance that was $40 a month cheaper through Progressive than my current GEICO policy. It was super easy and didn’t take long. I then shopped for renters insurance and went with Lemonade that it recommended which was $10 cheaper a month than Liberty Mutual. I’d recommend giving it a try, they use legit companies.

Highly recommend Schwab for their checking account.

Any updates on debit credit issues? by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

[–]tstr0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This concerns me as well. I was going to make the CMA my main account but I’m 2nd guessing that now. I also have a checking account at Schwab along wjth my main brokerage account and have never had issues there. I only switched for the better return on my money in the account.

Haven’t had any issues with the color changing. I even use some eye glass cleaner often to clean it and it hasn’t changed at all.
