How is this combo? What cards should I consider?

Im a third-year college student. Rn, I have the AMEX BCP, Citi DoubleCash, SYW 5321, and Delta Blue SkyMiles card.

AMEX BCP is my main card. I'll be using it for groceries and occasional dining out. Since it earns 6% cash back it helps me save up for stuff I want to buy, like camera lenses and such. I am playing the BCE/BCP upgrade/downgrade cycle, and if this works i will get away with $0AF. If not then ill just downgrade to BCE.

Citi DoubleCash, since it gives 2% cash back on every purchase (and bill payment) I'll be slapping my utility and Healthcare bills on it.

SYW5321 is my gas/Costco card. I earn 5% on gas and is one of the only cards I can use at Costco. I think it should earn 3% if I go to Costco due to the 3% grocery cash back limit.

Delta Blue used to be the Gold card. I downgraded before the $95 AF fee hit, and I will be using it to buy some gadgets I like due to the 1 year purchase protection guarantee it has, and is one of the only AMEX cards to offer it while having $0 AF.

Is this a good stack? What else should I consider?

Logitech T650 touchpad for android/windows

Hi! I am considering getting a trackpad and according to what I saw on reddit the T650 is the best trackpad at its value. Found a couple for $30 on ebay so I might pick one up.

Wondering if it will still work with android/windows11, as I will use it as my portable laptop desk setup. Thanks.

5 pro vs regular 5 GPS differences

Looking to get either a used watch 5 for $50 or a new 5 pro for $99 from Walmart. One thing I've been seeing is that the 5 Pro has extra GPS functionality, but i am not sure if this translates into higher GPS accuracy than the regular 5.

If not, I think i might go for the 5 because I don't want too big of a watch. Im getting the 40mm 5 specifically.

Tab Active 3 owners, how is your tablet holding up?

Just bought one a couple weeks ago. It's slower than my Tab S9 but I love it. I got it for $97 (incl. Shipping and taxes), 128gb version, and it basically does everything i need to do. Its a great portable media player and it has the s-pen so I can jot stuff down my calendar. Also has wired DeX, which although I don't use I thought it was pretty cool.

How's yours holding up?

Does the 40mm/43mm watch provide enough battery life for you? Upgrade to 47mm 6 classic?

Personally, I think I am getting just enough battery life on my Watch 6 Classic 43mm, but I was wondering whether I am missing out by not having the 47mm Watch.

I will say that I do use my watch to check the time, read notifications, occasionally reply to someone, take phone calls, and make payments. I do charge whenever I get home and it doesnt get touched unless if I go out to run errands, go for school, or go to work.

But sometimes I do feel FOMO for not getting the larger watch because of the improved battery life on the larger watches. I heard of people getting 2 days on it at least.

For those who got the smaller watch, what's your use case? Does it provide enough battery for you?

People with both the watch 5 pro and 6 classic, whats your experience?

I daily drive my 43mm 6 classic nowadays, mostly because of the rotating bezel and smaller size. Way more comfortable to wear since I have small wrists.

​

I occasionally use my 5 pro for biking, as I like the GPS tracking on it. Its almost as good as my former Applw Watch Series 4. And also for workouts too.

​

You?

Is this normal?

Found lines that look like cracks on my home button.

​

Does it show up for anyone else? Is this normal or are my buttons starting to break?

Best used Lexus for $15k with good MPG

Hi!

​

Looking for a used Lexus around $15k, and ideally above 30 MPG city/30MPG hwy.

​

I'm graduating in a couple of semesters and have been thinking about which car to get when I graduate from college. I was gonna go for the CT200h but it has no AWD option.

​

What would be my best option then? I was thinking about the RX450h from 2012, but its MPG isnt that good. Also looking for AWD as I live in the northern US. Thanks!

Is this a good car for a college graduate?

I'll be graduating in a couple semesters and am thinking of picking up this car. I will be getting a 2014 or older model - 15k is the max I can afford.

Ive been hearing great things about this car, especially the longevity of it, outside some known issues with it.

Recommend? Or what car should I go for instead?

Got a case for my Active 3

Found this recently on AliExpress. Its a bit flimsy but it has a pen holder and a built-in stand. It also sits flat on the surface due to the bumps on the four corners.

I would give this a 3.5/5 because it doesnt get too rugged and its relatively lightweight. Build quality should've be better tho

Its available for both active 3 and 5 if anyone wants

Home (green) button acting strange

I noticed this a few days ago on my home button (green button). I noticed that the top part of the home button is a bit more recessed and the bottom part is a bit more protruding.

When I click the top and center part of it it's normal but the bottom part feels very mushy, I didn't even have to click and it registered a click. Fourth click on home button shows this issue. My back button acts normal. [video here](https://imgur.com/a/aZd4jVl)

I will say that i did accidentally knock the watch on the door frame but it did have a protective case on, so I am not sure if this came out of the box like this or if it was damaged then as I hadn't noticed until the accident

Does anyone else have this problem on the 5 pro? This is bothering me because although I used this watch a bit recently I intended to keep it as a collector's device as the Golf Edition is rare. I got this device two years ago so I can't really do an RMA sadly :(

Button Clickiness and Misalignment issue

Gonna repost because people don't really understand the problem, and the picture didnt articulate the problem well. Took another one and recorded the video of the button clickiness being strange

Anyway, I noticed this a few days ago and my home button is a bit weird. I noticed that the top part of the home button is a bit more recessed and the bottom part is a bit more protruding.

When I click the top and center part of it it's normal but the bottom part feels very mushy, I didn't even have to click and it registered a click. Fourth click on home button shows this issue. My back button acts normal. video here

I will say that i did accidentally knock the watch on the door frame but it did have a protective case on, so I am not sure if this came out of the box like this or if it was damaged then as I hadn't noticed until the accident. Or maybe its been the way ive been clicking that button because I tend to notice ive been clicking the top part more, making it misaligned 😂

Is this button misalignment normal?

Just noticed this yesterday. Button looks a bit misaligned.

Might have been because I accidentally hit that side of the watch by a metal doorpost. However, I had a case on it (second pic) so that should've (mostly) protected that area.

Button is clicky, but when i try to click it from the sides it activates easier

Tracking my package, what does "arrive at transit country or district" mean? Do the time zones matter?

Cainiao is shipping my package. I was wondering if the timezones mean anything, because if they do I was thinking it arrived in my country (US) not at a transit country; I ordered before and it went to New York for customs before being delivered via USPS. Because GMT-5 is EST, I was thinking that it arrived at New York to be inspected by CBP. GMT+8 is obviously china

Ringtone and Background setup on Fold5 (BTS fans you would love this!)

Song: Butterfly - BTS

Background: simple video from youtube of butterflies flying around

Did this bc Samsung marketed the Fold series with butterfly wallpapers to show how the phone can fold. Thought this would be a nice touch

One UI 5 vs One UI 8 - battery life

Recently I got a new watch6 classic, and its on One UI 5. However the battery life seems to be better on One UI 8. Should I go ahead and upgrade? Or would One UI 8 decrease the battery?
