LPT: Check if your remote control is working by using your camera phone. Most remote controls use an infrared LED to transmit information from the handset to the device they control. Although invisible to the naked eye it’s just at the cusp of what your phone camera can detect and process. If you point your phone camera at the LED and press any button on the device you will see a faint flickering blue-violet light as…

I got a check from my Fidelity 401(k) and they wont change the payee name, now what? I feel like the dumbest personal alive right now. I worked at a company, I had 401(k) through fidelity. They issued me a check (i guess i didnt rollover fast enough out of previous employer to new). I called to ask if I could get a new check with my new 401(k) provider as the payee, so I could have the gross instead of net amount. They said taxe…

LPT: Check the who is leaving reviews on ethnic restaurants Even if an ethnic restaurant has high reviews, scroll through and see if people from that ethnicity are leaving good reviews. It can generally hint to its authenticity/quality and you can be more informed before eating. I recently didn’t do this and ended up eating some super mid Indian food submitted by /u/WarmFormal9881

Is my check still valid or do I need to destroy/void it? I made an online payment that required my bank and routing number, and a check number. So I used the number on the first unused check in my checkbook, but obviously I did not fill out the check or use it. Is this check no longer valid? I have to make monthly payments on this site, using this same method. Do I use a different check number each ti…

Use this Thanksgiving to check your and your family’s Beneficiaries. As an FA I see many sad cases where a bene was not set up for a 401k and the plan is automatically assigned to an estate. This causes issues because a lot of plans only allow for a Full Distribution not partial’s that would allow loved ones to spread the tax hit over 10 years. This also can cause massive delays in accessing the money from weeks …

A Tribe Called Quest – Check the Rhime (1991) submitted by /u/ThrashMetallix

Check out Interior Chinatown! Such a good show for watching and discussing. Interior Chinatown on Hulu is a really interesting and enjoyable (imo) show about a Chinese background character breaking out of his role on a police procedural. It’s very meta and does a good job looking at the role of Chinese Americans both in tv/media and the US society/history. Based on a book of the same name by Charles Yu submitted by…

You can make your screen completely white to make them easy to spot. You can use paint, a website, or simply a white picture and full screen using F11. I do this often to check for any spots on my monitors and clean them. su…

Online check in opened, but I was only provided boarding passes for the first two flights (NCL-AMS and AMS-YEG). The final two flights, which are within Canada, I can’t check in for.

I tried calling the customer service number they provided, and it…
