I will start by saying that immidiately upon opening the box I hated the light phone haha. It just felt so shitty compared to the iPhone.
HOWEVER, once I got it set up and I left my iPhone in the drawer at home and went out all day with just my light phone I saw the value. How liberating!!! Light phone rules!

Nvidia Corporation (NVDA), a leading chipmaker and AI company is on a tear recently, with its stock price hitting $389.46 on May 26, 2023 - a nearly 30% jump since the last earnings report. Contrastingly, the broader economic, geopolitical, and social environment send signals of uncertainty. The market's volatility index (VIX), which currently rests at a relatively low level of 17.95 hints at an imminent downturn, indicating complacency among investors. However, it's important to remember that markets are complex and frequently behave contrary to expectations.
While the broader market seems calm, one sector, in particular, is leading the trend: the technology sector with chipmakers and AI companies are seeing a significant uptick.
The big question is, should we dive in or wait it out?
Before we get into that, let's be clear, this analysis is not financial advice. It's meant to shed some light that help us make better-informed decisions.
Let's get into it!
Nvidia's fundamentals are robust, but that's not our focus today. With the company venturing into high-growth territory and emotional responses overpowering rational data, we're turning our attention to technical analysis for potential insight into future movements.
To begin, we can see the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for NVDA is at 83.62, suggesting an overbought condition, which is typically considered when the RSI is above 70. This high RSI value might imply that the stock is due for a short-term pullback, as observed in NVDA's historical performance.
In the past, NVDA's RSI crossed the extreme overbought line of 80 five times: on Feb. 19, 2020, Sept. 2, 2020, July 6, 2021, and Nov. 8, 2021. Each time this occurred, there was a short-term pullback in the stock price ranging from 5.0% to 38.9% over periods from three sessions to a month. However, in each case, the stock reached a new record high within three months of the pullback.
Previously, a pattern referred to as bearish technical divergence was observed, which suggests that rallies are taking more and more out of the bulls, leaving them vulnerable to bear attacks. This pattern emerged in Nov. 2021 when the stock kept rising to a record $333.76 on Nov. 29, 2021, while the RSI was actually trending lower to a sub-overbought reading of 69.53 that day. This was followed by a significant 11-month bear market, where the price plunged 66.4% before bottoming at $112.27 on Oct. 14, 2022.
NVDA's price is currently close to the Fibonacci resistance level of $394.8. If it breaks this resistance, the next key level to watch would be $483.48. On the other hand, if the price declines, the Fibonacci levels of $364.09, $360.93, and $339.98 could provide support.
Fibonacci extension is another technical tool to identify possible resistance.The most common Fibonacci extension levels are 1.618, 2.618, and 4.236.
Let's calculate the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level for NVDA:

1. Subtract the low from the high to get the difference: 394.80 - 108.13 = 286.67
2. Multiply the difference by the Fibonacci ratio: 286.67 * 1.618 = 464.02
3. Add the result to the low price: 108.13 + 464.02 = 572.15

However, please note that these levels are theoretical and while they can often serve as areas of support or resistance, they're not guaranteed to hold.
In summary, NVDA has been experiencing a strong upward trend across all these periods. This is accompanied by high trading volumes, suggesting robust investor interest. Given the strength of this upward trend and high trading volumes, it could be surmised that the market sentiment towards NVDA is bullish.
During the past 13 years, the highest PE Ratio of NVIDIA was 224.98. The lowest was 13.68. And the median was 39.94
​
So, where do we stand?
Nvidia's underlying fundamentals are strong, yet the recent trading frenzy seems to eclipse these fundamental values. As emotions run high, we're observing price action that is increasingly detached from the stock's intrinsic worth. Anticipate considerable volatility in the coming month, which may lead to substantial capital losses for those choose to trade this stock even though overall sentiment is bullish. That being said, our enthusiasm for NVDA and AI at large is unwavering. We're extremely bullish, and we foresee plenty of upside potential. Despite this, due caution is warranted. Here are our projections and perspectives for the ensuing month:
​
Bear Scenario:
Based on our analysis of Fibonacci Retracement levels and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio trends, we consider NVDA reaching $480 as the more conservative, or bearish, outcome. This represents a potential 23% increase from the current price level. In this scenario, NVDA would have a P/E ratio of 251.31, indicating a market capitalization of approximately $1.18 trillion. This could be an opportune moment to sell, locking in gains before any potential market correction.
​
Bull Scenario:
On the more optimistic, or bullish, side of the spectrum, we draw upon Tesla's impressive P/E ratio of over 1,000 during its significant rally two years ago. If NVDA were to reach a similar P/E ratio, this would translate to a stock price of $2190. However, considering NVDA's near trillion-dollar market capitalization and current growth rates, reaching such a level would be extremely ambitious. At this stock price, NVDA would have a market cap of an astonishing $5 trillion.
For perspective, Apple, currently the world's most valuable company, has a market cap of $2.7 trillion. If NVDA were to reach the same market cap as Apple, this would equate to a stock price of $1095. However, the market often anticipates such significant milestones and investors may start selling before reaching this psychological barrier.
As NVDA begins to show signs of a meme stock momentum, it’s essential to draw upon historical precedents from similar market movements. Notably, Dogecoin experienced a sharp downturn after it nearly reached the much-anticipated $1 target, peaking at $0.74. AMC's stock price exhibited a similar pattern, retreating after it hit $72. There appears to be a consistent trend of investors taking profits when the price hits approximately 3/4 of a clear target. Given this, if we set a bullish target for NVDA at $1,000, we can anticipate a potential price ceiling in the vicinity of $720, where significant resistance may be encountered. For those seeking to mitigate risk, considering an exit at around $680 could be a prudent strategy. This price corresponds to a market capitalization of $1.68 trillion and a P/E ratio of 355.5. While this is an ambitious target, it's not beyond the realms of possibility given the current rally.
​
Realistic Scenario:
While the above scenarios provide a range of possibilities, we believe the most likely outcome lies somewhere in between. A P/E ratio of 300, while high, is not unheard of for high-growth tech stocks. This would place NVDA's market cap at around $1.4 trillion and the stock price at approximately $573. Given NVDA's strong fundamentals and growth prospects, we believe this to be a realistic target.
In conclusion, while trading high volatility stocks with meme stock momentum can be very risky, and has no fundamental backing at this point. It comes down to emotional control and resilience. We believe that a thorough understanding of NVDA's technical and fundamental indicators can guide investment decisions. Please keep in mind that investing involves risk and it is important to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
​
It's crucial to remain cool-headed and resilient. Knowledge is power, so understand the technical and fundamental indicators to guide your investment decisions. Remember, trading involves risk - don't go all-in without doing your homework and consulting with a professional advisor. Happy trading!

Hello everyone!
I'm a nerdy dog dad living in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. Currnetly living alone and have my own car.
My pup is a 1.5 year old Staffordshire Terrier who is the best boy. I adopted him in March of 2022. He, like me, loves to cuddle.
I currently work in tech and have been doing so for the last decade or so and I really enjoy it. I also can be a little hands on and work on my own electronics or fix things around the house when needed. I also enjoy working on my car and modding it. I have a few tattoos and my ears pierced.
For the nerdy part, I'm into anime, manga, fanfiction, Kingdom Hearts, Harry Potter, video games (own all three major consoles out right now), and would love to get into DnD after talking about the RPG builders guide. I'm also getting back into reading and just signed up for GoodReads.
I value communication, empathy and compromise.
I'd love to find someone that enjoys staying in as much as going out, going for walks, gaming, and adventuring. I currently work from home and have some trouble getting outside and meeting new people. I'm not picky about looks and really looking for a great personality.
If any of this sounds like it interests you, please send me a message! I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Here's the pup and I: https://imgur.com/a/MT9NO30

There is ONE way, and one way ONLY, to save Overwatch.
After the recent fiasco that has been the announced cancellation of Overwatch 2’s PvE plans, Overwatch and Blizzard’s customer base has every right to never offer this company their trust, EVER again.
There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the decision to cancel the project was purely an executive decision, made with minimal respect to the desires and needs of the actual OW2 development team.
Many players who have remained loyal to the project despite delays and empty promises have reached their final straw. Many people are quitting, likely not in numbers that will impact Blizzard’s pockets very heavily in the long term, but enough to represent a very serious backlash.
Players who have remained have grown even more toxic in response to the news than what is typical of the game, playing with and speaking to other players as though the future of the game and its community doesn’t matter anymore. Leavers and throwers seem to be at a strong peak at the moment, with no signs of slowing down. The community is in a decent amount of chaos at the moment, and for excellent reason.
If the game’s upcoming content designed to replace PvE is to flop, the live game may survive overall across the next bunch of years, decade+ even, but it would represent a lifeless shell of what could have been, and there will be nothing left of the truly, once-in-a-generation, universal recognition of Overwatch’s ambitions, quality, and impact on the gaming world at large since it’s initial release.
Blizzard has robbed the community of a beloved game in exchange for empty promises; all for the sake of “better” monetization. This is the safest conclusion for any Overwatch consumer who has invested any money or time in the progression of this game since release to draw.
Let me repeat. The MOST reasonable way for fans to interpret recent events, is that their loyalty is repaid with a deceitful, corporate cash grab. It’s as simple as that, and it is largely unforgivable.
How can they make up for this? How can the community come back together and enjoy this game and each other’s company in a way not seen since the first few years of OW1?
My proposal: Restore Overwatch 1, and maintain it as a separate game.
Re-release the final patch of Overwatch 1, and repackage it as [Overwatch: Classic]. Free to Play, PC only, cracked wide open.
-Expand the Workshop for even more customizability, allowing players to restore old abilities from earlier versions of the game and mix and match them. Anything from Barrier Bastion to Scatter Arrow to Auto-Aim Symmetra. Create presets for older patches and offer even more development tools to allow for player creativity in developing new modes and ways to play.
-Allow for community made maps and mods to be used within community servers, with the main live game running as normal at the forefront, a la Team Fortress 2. Balance updates spread few and far between. Cast remains the same, no characters released in OW2 will make an appearance.
-Revise the loot box AND inventory system. Allow for at least SOME (limited) player to player trading of skins/cosmetics. Allow for multiples of items, rarity tiers for duplicables, kill counters or other unique effects on weapons, cosmetics/customizables, etc. Keep the old loot box system, but create a new class of unlockable boxes for those that want these paid attributes. This would allow for continued monetization of the original game in a familiar, non-controversial way. The community could more precisely determine in-game value of cosmetics through trade, and difficult to obtain skins (Pink Mercy, etc.) could be negotiated between players in a legit way vs having to trade entire accounts for a chance to get limited cosmetics. Again, taking a page out of TF2’s book, while solving a long-standing problem within the game.
-Keep a smaller, dedicated team for Overwatch: Classic. Separate it from OW2, keeping people who are interested in the new heroes and ongoing story elements of Overwatch satisfied, while paying back the people who had a game they purchased, loved, and remained loyal to replaced entirely without consumer-end justification. OW2 continues as planned, and retains both its PC and console player base who are genuinely interested in the continued development of the game. RuneScape by Jagex takes a similar approach to their main project: RuneScape 3. That project is regularly updated and propels the project towards its future potential, while Old School RuneScape, a version of the original game that the developers happened to find that keeps fans of the original game satisfied, with occasional polish updates based on frequent community polling and feedback.
Overwatch was taken so OW2 could exist and thrive. This did not go as planned, and the consumers of Overwatch do not have the game they paid for back in 2016-2022. A “media preservation” argument can be made here, as well as many others, but at the end of the day, many fans just lost a game they loved in exchange for one that they did not ask for. I am happy that OW2 exists, and I think it should continue to as best as the developers can manage, but the original game did not need to go away given these circumstances.
The most respectful, effective, PR power move that Blizzard could take right now, would be to give players BACK the game they paid for. And let them do what they will with it. Let it go, so that both games can prosper. I think this would be a great starting point to rebuilding trust in Blizzard, if it were to be done and done correctly.
Thoughts?

I’m looking to replace my 2014 Corolla sometime soon (no huge rush though) mainly because I want something upgraded and more comfortable. I drive about an hour total (40 miles) most days for work and I love the gas mileage of the Corolla but it’s uncomfortable and noisy/unenjoyable to drive, and after 7+ years of it I think I’ve reached my limit. I live in New England so I would really like something AWD. Currently I put snow tires on the Corolla each year and it doesn’t seem worth the cost to do that anymore since I work remote when it snows now, but do still have to drive in bad weather occasionally so I’d like the AWD. I would love something with great gas mileage and have considered electric too but most EVs are out of my price range: would like to stay close to $30,000 or slightly over. No kids so I don’t need a ton of space, but my boyfriend is 6’4” and I have 2 nieces and a nephew I cart around occasionally so they all need to fit. Cars I’m currently considering: * -2020-2021 Lexus UX250h: great mpg, just slightly concerned about cramped interior size and if it would be silly to buy something a few years old when I can afford a new car. * -New AWD Prius: best mpg but it’s another small Toyota which is what I’m already bored of. * -Subarus: new 2024 Crosstrek, Legacy, or Impreza. All very similar and I like the updated 2024 interiors and more substantial size of the cars compared to the Corolla. Mpg isn’t great though and it seems like a bad idea to buy a new car with worse mpg than my current one? * -Mazda CX30 - not crazy about the exterior look of this one for some reason and again not great mpg. * -2021-2022 Audi A3 - this is probably my favorite but concerns about high repair costs and depreciation in value are making me think it’s not the most financially wise decision to make.
Any thoughts on those options, or others I’m missing?? Thanks!

Terrence Shannon is one of the very best athletes in this draft class. He was one of the best athletic testers at the combine and measured in at about 6'7 in shoes---he also has a sturdy frame. Shannon is going to be someone who can defend up and down the lineup....I believe him to be one of the very best wing defenders in this class. He is both fleet of foot and physical as a defender and can pressure the ball defensively without fouling.
Offensively, Shannon has improved his 3 point shooting. His numbers declined a bit from 3 this past season as he was Illinois' #1 offensive option but he's become a solid C&S 3 ball player. He was efficient off the dribble from the midrange, Shannon has a smooth pull up jumper and he's someone who can be effective off screens and curls. He's a dynamic slasher who can break his man down off the dribble and get to the cup. He can both finish and drive with both hands and has some impressive moves in his aresnal. He gets to the free throw line a ton and can finish above the rim and finish with contact. He's a blur, a powerful force in transition; that might be his biggest strength.
Shannon isn't gonna be a lead playmakeballhandler in the NBA but he's not incapable as a playmaker. Questions surrounding his shooting/decision making has had him stuck in the middle of the second round in most mocks but I think he's someone who could end up generating first round value out of this draft without a doubt. He checks a ton of boxes as a player and I don't think his perceived weaknesses are deal breakers at all for him. What do you all think about Terrence Shannon? Are you highelower than I am on him?

This Support build's most recent outing was in u/Jayiie's 1mil DPS SS Hydra run. However, there is still quite a bit of room for improvement here, and I thought I'd share it in its current form both for feedback purposes and to satisfy my curiosity on its cost.
Build cost info will be shown in estimated real world dollar values, using the approximated conversion rates in the table below. The final cost estimate represents the amount it would take for a brand new player to copy this build right away as of today. (Disclaimer: Do not do this, it is a terrible use of hard-earned money)

Captain Details

Captain Name	Jill Stingray
Captain Career	Engineering	SUBOPTIMAL. Tact is the preferred Career for Support due to team-wide damage boosts. Sci also has better utility due to Subnuke Beam. The only utility Engi has here is EPS Power Transfer.
Captain Faction	Federation
Captain Race	Human	SUBOPTIMAL. Should be Alien for the extra personal trait slot.
Primary Specialization	Temporal	SUBOPTIMAL. Intelligence as Primary is better for Intel Fleet. But until they implement loadouts for Captain Specs, I will stick with Temp+Strat for all my builds.
Secondary Specialization	Strategist	SUBOPTIMAL. Temporal should go here instead, for Atrophied Defenses.

Remarks on Total Approx. Real World Cost

Roughly 1.2k USD for this build. Making this pretty much as expensive as an uber-meta DPS build. Little wonder then that there aren't more Support players around.

Appendix

1. Raw combatlog of the supported run, in case anyone wants it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tHnlD-swdPfW1yD-2tZfx_4sHUcgjKVI/view?usp=sharing

This Support build's most recent outing was in u/Jayiie's 1mil DPS SS Hydra run. However, there is still quite a bit of room for improvement here, and I thought I'd share it in its current form both for feedback purposes and to satisfy my curiosity on its cost.
Build cost info will be shown in estimated real world dollar values, using the approximated conversion rates in the table below. The final cost estimate represents the amount it would take for a brand new player to copy this build right away as of today. (Disclaimer: Do not do this, it is a terrible use of hard-earned money)
If anyone needs help figuring out some of the abbreviations used in this post, feel free to ask, or use tools like VGER: https://vger.netlify.app/

In-game item/currency	In-game amount	Approx. EC cost as of 7-May-23 (if applicable)	Approx. Real World Cost (USD)	Assumptions
Zen	100		$1.00	Not counting bonus Zen from bundles nor discounts.
Master Key	1	12,000,000	$1.25	Not counting bundled keys, for simplicity.
EC	1,000,000	1,000,000	$0.10	12mil EC/key on the Exchange.
Refined Dilithium	10,000		$0.20	Exchange rate of 500 Refined Dil to 1 Zen.
Lobi crystal	10		$2.50	Average of 5 Lobi Crystals per Lockbox opened. Not counting the goodies from said lockboxes.
Reputation Marks	50		$0.01	Using Rep project to convert 50 regular Marks to 500 Dilithium.
Elite Marks	3		$0.02	Using Rep project to convert 3 Elite Marks to 1,000 Dilithium.
Fleet Credit	10,000		$0.20	Uses the terrible conversion rate of 1 Dil = 1 FC
C-Store ship	1		$30.00	Not counting sales.
Lobi ship	1	320,000,000	$33.33	~300mil EC per Lobi ship on Exchange.
Epic Phoenix T6 ship	1		$80.00	Assuming a 1/1000 (0.1%) chance for an Epic Token, and 40k Dil for 10 Phoenix Packs. RNGesus may greatly vary, of course. (It was more like 1/2190 for me)
Lockbox ship	1	1,200,000,000	$125.00	~1.2bil EC per Lockbox ship via Exchange.
Promobox ship	1	1,700,000,000	$177.08	~1.7bil EC per Promo ship via trade.

Captain Details

Captain Name	Jill Stingray
Captain Career	Engineering	SUBOPTIMAL. Tact is the preferred Career for Support due to team-wide damage boosts. Sci also has better utility due to Subnuke Beam. The only utility Engi has here is EPS Power Transfer.
Captain Faction	Federation
Captain Race	Human	SUBOPTIMAL. Should be Alien for the extra personal trait slot.
Primary Specialization	Temporal	SUBOPTIMAL. Intelligence as Primary is better for Intel Fleet. But until they implement loadouts for Captain Specs, I will stick with Temp+Strat for all my builds.
Secondary Specialization	Strategist	SUBOPTIMAL. Temporal should go here instead, for Atrophied Defenses.

I would retrain if doing so did not also break all my saved loadouts...

Remarks on Total Approx. Real World Cost

Roughly 1.2k USD for this build. Making this pretty much as expensive as an uber-meta DPS build. Little wonder then that there aren't more Support players around.

Hello all, I've been encountering this bug with Edge for at least the better part of a year now. This happens on YouTube, if I have it in full screen mode and exit full screen mode or scroll away from the video to look at the comments, or in some cases pause the video and start it later. I've noticed it happen with other platforms like Netflix and prime video ( I don't use these much on this machine). The Console will log three events like:

watch:1 The resource https://i.ytimg.com/generate_204 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally. watch:1 The resource https://rr2---sn-p5qddn7r.googlevideo.com/generate_204 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally. watch:1 The resource https://rr2---sn-p5qddn7r.googlevideo.com/generate_204?conn2 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally. 

(The above also logs periodically as the video is playing) the video will freeze upon scrolling back up to the video frame. At this point audio continues to play with image frozen for a bit then the buffering circle starts. In some cases, it will resume after some time, the notification of "Experiencing Interruptions Find out why" will show on the page. In many cases it will not continue playing and the page must be reloaded. Upon reloading the page, watch progress is lost, and I must find the position I was at. This same thing happens with the transition from full screen to windowed mode.

Hello,
I'm looking to purchase a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. I did some research on a cooler for it and decided to go with the Noctua NH-D15 air cooler. I saw it mentioned a bunch of times as a really trust worth, well tested option that's been around for a long time.
While discussing my build with a friend, they pointed out that Ryzen recommends a liquid cooler and not an air one: https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d Another friend said that while that's true, I should also take into consideration what kind of case I'll be using. If I'll be using a case that has good airflow, an air cooler might actually be better. I'm looking to purchase the Fractal Design Torrent case, which in 2022 was very popular for its really good out of the box air flow.
What should I do? Should I start looking for a liquid cooler or will an air one work well for me? Does anyone have any experience with pairing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Noctua NH-D15?
Thank you!
