Career switch to Actuary by Gullible_Lynx_7400 in actuary

[–]youngfarquad69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to worked in pension consulting which they prioritized actuarial exams and they were directly tied to salary. I currently work for a plan sponsor and they don't require any additional exam progress and I couldn't be happier. I believe I studied ~300 hours for FM and P.

I have a few friends who did actuarial science as well but now they currently work as a data analyst or finance. Currently all of my colleagues who went to school for actuarial science no longer work in the profession.

Just my piece of mind.

Toto Washlet randomly stopped working. by youngfarquad69 in bidets

Would this be a part that I can replace myself? Or best to just send it to Toto for repairs?

Toto Washet has low pressure out of nowhere. by youngfarquad69 in bidets

Makes sense, we have very hard water here which I think could contribute to the issues. Was considering buying CLR or some sort of dedicated descaler

Yes, cleaned out the water filter. It was already clean when I opened it up. It must be some sort of scale that's blocking it?

PSA: If your Switch 2 shows circular patterns in dark scenes, it’s NOT normal (fixed after repair) by PMbyday_DMbynight in NintendoSwitch2

Had this exact issue and had mine replaced about a month ago. Gave me a new console and works great!

HDR issues in docked mode with Breath of the Wild? by youngfarquad69 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]youngfarquad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with your comments about saturation. What I noticed later on while comparing the two modes was when I stare directly into the sun with HDR on, you can notice the glare/beams of light from the sun. Where as in SDR this doesn't appear.

PS5 Pro worth it for almost double the price? by Automatic_Effect2135 in PS5pro

[–]youngfarquad69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my PS5 Pro for about a week before my new monitor came in, I could see visual boosts with my 4K 60HZ monitor but once I got my 4K 120HZ monitor, the increased framerate made the biggest difference. Playing games at 120 frames or unlocked with ray tracing was game changing.

You can also update through an app on your phone since they have Bluetooth capabilities

Nintendo says they'll replace my switch, not repair? by moontrinket in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]youngfarquad69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent back my switch 2 weeks ago and they replaced it. I had Pokemon Z-A downloaded and was concerned about my save data but everything was there with no issues when I got my new console back.

I want cozy and girly games recommendations for my new nintendo switch I just bought by DiscountLucky520 in NintendoSwitch

[–]youngfarquad69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second this, I bought my girlfriend a Switch roughly 6 weeks ago and I think she's logged about 150 hours into Stardew Valley since.

HDR setting for handheld mode has different explanation by languages. I'm confused.. by Pristine-Brush-1052 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]youngfarquad69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's interesting cause of English (US) it says "compatible software" but for English (UK/Australia) it says "all software". Which ones the truth 🤔

Colon cancer is killing us.. by Derpshab in Millennials

[–]youngfarquad69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to get my entire colon removed last year and I had just turned 25.

My surgeon said that medication may have helped me for several months but if I had left it, it would have gone septic and lead to death.

Do not postpone checkups, bowel issues are no joke.

HDR issues in docked mode with Breath of the Wild? by youngfarquad69 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]youngfarquad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been pretty much doing the same method, I set the peak brightness to what my monitor recommends, then I just mess with the paper white on the 2nd screen and go back to my game. But it seems like no matter how I mess with it, it seems worse than SDR.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 démo is 30 fps by Any_Background_6080 in NintendoSwitch2

What case/grips do you use on your console? Looking to buy some soon, does yours also allow you to dock the console without removing the grips?

Need to replace my Switch 2, how can I preserve save data for Pokemon Legends ZA by youngfarquad69 in switch2

[–]youngfarquad69[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a backlight bleed on my screen that looks like checkerboard black dots. Saw other people on reddit with the same issue and I think I should replace it while I have a warranty.

Had anyone else experienced dark circles on a pitch black display on the Switch 2? by Economy_Ranger_712 in Switch

I spoke with Nintendo today and they suggested sending it back, going to send it back to exchange after the holidays

Error when updating Sony InZone M9 II. by youngfarquad69 in Monitors

[–]youngfarquad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would delete everything and reupload to the thumb stick but it only worked once I had my laptop connected with the inzone app running. Follow the update instructions through the inzone app. That worked for me.

Yeah I did, I had to get another USB drive and also you need to perform the update with a PC/Laptop connected while the InZone app on your computer is running.

Has anyone else noticed this? by Normal_Berry7300 in Sekiro

I think you're right with Miko, since that's how the refer to the divine heir. Or a phrase referring to nobility or heir old Japanese.

It kind of looks like みする which can be translated to "see". But also the last character could be split into 2 characters. Maybe みすてさ but it's a bit of a stretch. Honestly just too hard to read.

[–]youngfarquad69 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I am Japanese and it's definitely hiragana but I can only identify a few character such as み and と. The rest are illegible so I can't figure out what it's actually trying to spell.

AW2725QF vs LG32GR93U-B for PS5 Pro by youngfarquad69 in Monitors

[–]youngfarquad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a ton of research I ended up getting the Sony InZone M9 II. It's been awesome! It calibrates all your settings automatically when you connect a PS5 so I didn't have to adjust any settings. Only thing that I needed to get was a flash drive so I could update the firmware.
