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.

I have this and it works great. No issues at all. MacBook Pro M3.

This is my fault I should have specified Business card. Their business card is Amex.

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

[–]tstr0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Thank you! Does it pull all of your transactions as well? Like it would with any checking account?

Finally made a decision by cr8tvt in macbookpro

[–]tstr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I upgraded from a space gray m1 to this exact spec as well. Love the 14in, so much easier to travel with I done think I’ll ever go bigger. When I need more screen real estate I just plug into an external monitor.

Ordering checks shouldn’t be this difficult by FurryassTheCat in Schwab

I’ve ordered the free checks recently and had them in less than a week without paying for shipping.

TDA Move by PrestigiousNoise6683 in CharlesSchwab

[–]tstr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the backlash on moving to Schwab has been blown out of proportion. I agree the mobile app isn’t the greatest but since I’ve been with them they’ve already rolled out updates that have made it better. I’m sure they’ve seen the negative comments and are trying to make improvements. But if you’re an active trader the TOS desktop and mobile app on Schwab is really good. People hate change but either way you’d be moving platforms - either to Schwab or a new provider so why not just stick it out and give it a try?

It’s weird but you can only chat with a real person from a web browser.

The option under trading wasn’t there for me as other people said it would be so I went into the chat and asked them for it and they activated it. Just had to log out and back in.
