  • I emailed them at support@greenfi.com with basically the message “I can’t login I get this message, what can I do to resolve this”, went back and forth a bunch, did all the annoying troubleshooting reinstalling the app, clearing app data, etc, sent screenshots of the message, assured I wasn’t using a VPN, sent all the details of my phone and rom version, had to poke them when they didn’t respond, got a random message of them saying “we see you were able to gain access” and I had to be like wtf no I didn’t?, told them it worked if I temporarily enabled play protect and said I would switch banks if I couldnt access check deposit which is mobile only, they replied with some justification why play protect is tripping it up, so I told them that I had no issues having play protect off with other financial apps like fidelity and chase bank, and finally got a response from a “supervisor” saying “i refreshed your settings” settings" and it started working.

    Not sure if they just whitelisted my account or what, but maybe if enough people complain they will get tired of whitelisting everyone and change course.


  • I switched away from Ally bank for similar reasons, on my lineage’d pixel 5 with gapps, their app would always fail the login the first time then succeed the second time for no reason.

    Then the bank I switched to, greenfi (coastal community bank) completely blocked login unless I had play protect (in Google play) enabled, which allows Google to uninstall any app from your phone without asking if they decide it’s a “security risk” or whatever - I can totally imaging them deciding that ReVanced / morphie / patched apps that block their ads to be a “security issue”. Luckily greenfi was more understanding and they did something that allowed me to log in again.


  • Honestly I think this is a good thing. A lot of people confuse minimum performance targets with the device’s tech specs. The frame isn’t worse performing with a lower target, since every game that runs a certain way still runs exactly the same unlike if the actual tech specs changed, just the threshold for the approval badge is lower, so more games will be considered verified. Sure, there will be less pressure for devs to optimize performance, but personally I would rather have (set of games x that exceeds 90) plus (other games that exceed 72) labeled as verified to boost the size of the verified library instead of setting a “premium” bar for the label and making the library look smaller - I think the frame needs the PR help of having a larger “looking” verified library. Plus I usually run my bigscreen in 75hz anyways and I think it’s hardly noticeable (and would not feel out of place in the frame’s all-rounder specs), so I think the average person is better off considering games that hit 72+ verified.

    Plus, think of it another way: any game that the devs find hard to optimize past 72fps on the frame is not running the same graphics better on a quest to meet it’s 90hz requirement. And anything that can be optimized for the quest’s 90 or 120 modes will perform even better with the same settings on the frame’s faster hardware - or be capable of matching the fps of the same game on quest but with the graphics settings turned up a little, so at the end of the day the lower limit is not a loss because the only reason any game would be stuck at the lower target is because it produces fidelity that the quest can’t match.




  • I completed a 300 mile move yesterday, and my homelab was one of the least stressful parts thanks to my pre-emptive downsizing from a half rack to just a Synology + Intel nuc. I also pre-emptively switched from forwarded ports to a reverse proxy because I didn’t want to be thinking about what isp I would end up with. Even further, I linked the nas and nuc directly with Ethernet so that I wouldn’t need to rely on static IPs or router-assisted local hostnames, mdns, avahi, whatever because I wanted to be able to transplant my lab onto any network just in case of emergency - thankfully I haven’t had to test that out but it’s nice knowing my lab should work on any network where both boxes can reach the internet / my reverse proxy. I was thinking worst case if we ended up in some apartment complex with some crappy provided setup that had broken local discovery then it would be 1 less thing to worry about.




  • Nice, I would still be tempted to register the inner door code to open the outer door too. I hate redundancy and love the idea of everyone having 1 credential that opens everything they are allowed to access. At my current place we use codes but we don’t have access to register them unfortunately so I have to put up with memorizing multiple things, on top of having the front office accidentally reset our accounts one day causing us to need to toss all our old codes and memorize a whole new set because they don’t know how to re-register the old codes that they wiped.
