Re: "Gaming" PC - 3 months ago
Wow thank you. It seems decent enough but its certainly out of my budget. I'll just have to wait for things to calm down. I should have built when I could have.by pinion - Tips and Deals
Re: "Gaming" PC - 3 months ago
Good point. I found a Switch Lite for $150. Asked if he wanted that and he said he wanted a computer. He's only got about $100 so hr has little options unless I bear the cost.by pinion - Tips and Deals

Quotepdq and it was started as a joke about cryptocurrencies. And Nintendo started as a card company. What does it matter what something started as? Shouldn't you look at it for what it is now? Secondly, I am being serious. If you take away the things I said at the end of the day you're betting on the speculation of what a companies stock will be.

Re: plunging neckline?!.....cryptocurrency 'Dogecoin' plunges after mention on SNL... - 4 months ago
It dropped like 30%. It was still up 780% on the month when I looked yesterday. also, I'm still confused why people think it's a Ponzi or Pyramid scheme? I get that, unlike, stocks, there is no basis for an actual value since it doesn't have assets like buildings and what not. Other than that isn't it the same as buying stock?by pinion - Tips and Deals

Re: Any point in waiting on buying a TV? - 10 months ago
I've been waiting on the TVs that incorporate ATSC 3.0 tuners. There's a few out there now. ATSC 3.0 will bring OTA 4k channels. That said, I'll probably just end up getting an HDhomerun with ATSC 3.0 built in and not worry about it on my TV.by pinion - Tips and Deals

Re: What are parents doing these days regarding password advice for their teenagers? - 1 year ago
I too would recommend 1Password or something like it. I know 1Password is big on this forum but alternatively I would suggest Bitwarden. From there I would let the password manager generate a unique password for each site. I prefer passphrases eg. it would generate something like "Leaping-couch-aardvark" because then if I really need to memorize something for a certain site at least it'by pinion - Tips and Deals

Re: Ready to lock in rate - 1 year ago
Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm calling a few other contacts I know. I did talk to the guy I've been working with today and he said no cash out would get me at 3.125 which is a lot better and lower than what bankrate.com is saying today. I guess it's just more with the cash out. Especially at 80% loan to value. I'll see what other companies have to say though.by pinion - Tips and Deals
Re: Ready to lock in rate - 1 year ago
So I'll give a little personal info. My credit score is at 740. The mortgage guy said getting cash out of the value of my home is what's raising the interest rate. I think he said if it was just a 15 year refinance I would be closer to 3.1%. I've already paid for an appraisal and I have it but it was done on behalf of their mortgage company, not for me. Can I still use that? I kind of want toby pinion - Tips and Deals
Ready to lock in rate - 1 year ago
I've gone through everything I need to do and we are ready to lock in a rate for a cash out 15 year refi. It's not as good as some rates I see when I search but I also can't find cash out rates. I think it was 3.6 earlier in the week. Lock or wait a bit longer?by pinion - Tips and Deals
Re: Today's Shopping Report (Post Yours Too) - 1 year ago
Indianapolis Kroger - Wife said they were out of 1% milk so I'm happy to finally get some 2% in the house. No TP or paper towels but I think we are good on those anyway. Kroger brand cereal was out so we passed on the name brand. Other than that she sent me a pic just now of a full cart. Not the first report from around here I've heard of having stocked shelves so I'm hoping it's settling down arby pinion - Tips and Deals
Re: So We Went To Our Local Kroger Today--Results Plus A Semi Mild Rant - 1 year ago
Doing ok here as far as things go but yeah Kroger was wiped out when I went a few days ago. I wish people wouldn't panic.... I've got 4 kids to feed and it was a struggle to find stuff. We aren't starving though and the school near us is doing free lunch if we need to go that route but for now things are fine. I just hope the hoarding stops soon and shelves can get stocked.by pinion - Tips and Deals
Re: Good quality wireless IP camera? - 1 year ago
QuoteOmbligo One issue with Wyze is there is no desktop or browser option. It only streams through the Wyze App on phones or tablets. There may be hacks, but none are intuitive. What about plain old facetime or Whatsapp? Yep. That's why you need to swap the firmware so you can use the RTSP stream. Not hard but also not an out of the box solution.by pinion - Tips and Deals
Re: Mkv to MP4 conversion, dramatic file size difference - 1 year ago
MKV and MP4 are both just containers for the video and audio. Maybe it’s stripping out extra audio tracks like foreign language or Dolby. I can’t recall any names but you should be able to find a tool that will inspect what’s in both the containers and you could do a before and after compare.by pinion - Tips and Deals
