If your portfolio is down that much over that period of time, you are likely not making good investment choices. S&P500 is up like 50% since 2021…

Your losses or lack of portfolio growth isn’t really something to complain about online without more info on what your asset mix is. Unless your goal was just to complain, and not get any advice from helpful anons that are having more success in investment choices.

It’s invested in total market funds, some tech, some big cap companies, and healthcare

Tech, big cap, and healthcare are already part of the total market funds, so you’re over-weighting (taking excess risk) by investing that way. Assuming you’re pretty young based on time in market, you’d be fine with just the total market fund, until you have more experience with the market or just want a set and forget, for a while.

This has been the case for a long time. Just go on the website and find a drop box or location. They are pretty much all over the place.

Same here

it’s feature of retail/capitalism. You just have better tools like Keepa to showcase this scam, now.

I’m honestly more impressed about that last line, running at 70 million for 17.5 minutes. Duration/stability being the key to this tech, that’s pretty impressive.

After you move it back to the UK, that is.

“Protect your privacy” is literally why we use uBO…

It’s like $20 year, not everything good can be free.

NextDNS.

Also, be wary of relying on anything blocking ads on streaming services this way. They will likely serve them within the video stream, so not network-blockable.

Apple is the least terrible of my list.

ATV is the only box I recommend. I’m anti-Google, don’t trust Amazon (and now their service is going to do ads on a paid Prime membership), and Roku has major privacy issues at least in the past. Curious why you’re seeking an alternative to Apple.

I put a relative’s mobile phone on NextDNS to block ads for them, and the came back a couple days later noting how weird the ad-free experience was. Thankfully they didn’t want to revert, but yeah, most people are way into advertiser Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

I think I’ve been blocking/combating internet ads for 20+ years at this point.

Site owner and whomever in marketing wrote that. Pure psychopathy, IMO.

One of these companies needs to be beached to prove damages, I guess.

Proton Mail is cheap. I think I paid $40 for a year and you get a bunch more stuff in addition to mail and a custom mail domain.

As you noted, lack electrical tape is your friend, on these. So annoying, but it works well. I got a headset where the charging base blinks green on and off, basically 24/7. Black tape was the first thing I did, even before using hte headset for the first time.

No no, not down… “Elevated error rates”,. I think the elevation was from 0 to 100%.

Maybe they’ll keep him…

All the high profile tech people talking about pausing or slowing it down are just seeing market advantage, not altruism. Sociopaths don’t understand altruism.

Hiding viewed/voted posted is a setting “show read”, un-check it.
