re: There is no benefit with Marriott Rewards over other reward cards
Posted by LemmyLives on 6/6/24 at 11:27 pm
There is zero context to this, but I'd pay cash over booking through an OTA (CapitalOne.) I've spent fewer Marriott points staying in a hotel where the base room starts at $1,200 a night rack rates, and the points and super shiny status got me a multi-roomed suite which retailed for over $2k a nigh...
re: 5 or 6 days in Europe - Where to go?
Posted by LemmyLives on 6/6/24 at 11:23 pm
Ireland (ROI, not Northern Ireland) can eat 5-6 days. Short flights from NYC. You can do more in major cities from Northern Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, N. France, etc.) with less in between travel time. The Xmas markets in the EU are a great experience, but I can't remember if they start before...

re: Getting WiFi up on the roof of an office building
Posted by LemmyLives on 6/4/24 at 10:09 pm
Second this. My first thought was directional antenna. I think (at least with 802.11a/b) if you got a directional antenna up high enough, you *could* have a range up to 12? miles based on the curvature of the earth.
If the router has antennae that you can change, you can also take what is proba...

Background. I'm guessing you're in your 40s early 50s. The amount of women in the 35+ category that are confused why you even bothered meeting at a restaurant, rather than just going to pound town is astounding.

This. And to Zappa's point, even before COVID, almost anywhere in the UK is almost confused if you try to pay with cash. Tap to pay. shite, open a bank account with a non shitty bank with no FTFs just for the trip. I didn't even realize FTF were still a thing, even "Brazos Valley Credit Union" do...

So you paid more to DD than the delivery fees from JM's app would have cost, and cost the franchisee a good chunk of the gross cost that goes to DoorDash, and winning? For two #7s, $24.60 in DoorDash, $18.90 in JM app for the food.
I'm not trying to f* franchisees and always order pickup through...

re: Thoughts on Tissot watches?

PRS516 from the ex-wife. I don't consider watches an investment, I don't give two shits if they "hold their value," that's what guns and ammo are for.
It's classy looking and nice, but not as dressy as the one you have selected. My only quibble is that I'm close to spending about as much money ...
re: UEFI, Win11 and storage
Posted by LemmyLives on 6/2/24 at 5:21 pm
I've been an MSI fanboi (Intel and AMD) for 15+ years (which is maybe 3 mobos, cause I'm cheap). I tried an Asus or Gigabyte? once in that period and had to RMA it before it ever booted. But if the BIOS sucks, since it's AMI, isn't that going to extend to the other brands that use AMI at least?

UEFI, Win11 and storage
Posted by LemmyLives on 6/1/24 at 6:31 pm
This is the second time in a year I've been forced to reinstall Win11 due to UEFI and Win11. This time is extra-inexplicable. The first time I updated AMD drivers and Windows in the same reboot, so I count that as my fail. This time has me vexed.
Boot drive is an NVMe drive, which was not touc...

They're meant for two different purposes. In your case, the Surface Laptop is overkill, and has half the storage of the Ideapad. I've been using the same IdeaPad for travel for seven years, and it's been perfectly fine....
