    WiFi repeater needed

    For most apartments, a repeater is not needed with the proper setup. Devices further away from the router should be connected using the 2.4 GHz due to their range and better ability to penetrate through walls and other solid obstructions. Devices closer to the router can connect using the...

    Does this deserve comment? Senators Double Their Pay

    For those who do not believe they should get that salary increase, would you be willing to do that job? If you are willing, then how much do you believe you should get paid to do it? If you're not willing to do it, then tell us why not?

    Skipping second leg of a flight

    It's official. "As published in the Official Gazette of Brazil, the Presidential Decree No. 11,982, of April 9, 2024, postponed the entry into force of the requirement for Visitor Visas for citizens of Australia, Canada and the United States to April 10, 2025."

    Skipping second leg of a flight

    It gets confusing without a little background. 1. The previous president dropped the visa requirement (2019) with the hope of increasing tourism. 2. The current president issued a decree requiring visa again (2023). Initially set for to be effective Oct 1, 2023, then extended to Jan 10, 2024...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    @Reply Guy, Even if all cryptocurrencies are banned by every country in the world, companies will continue to build applications using blockchains. If a company chooses to also be involved in cryptocurrencies, that's their choice, and they must follow the rules that regular them. Blockchain is...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    @lunar, Please don't put words in my mouth. I never said cryptocurrencies have no value or benefits, just like I never said porn has no value or benefits to society. They both are obviously valued and beneficial to some people. In fact, while I had some grammatical errors in my post, it...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    @Reply Guy, You are confusing the blockchain technologies with cryptocurrencies and the platforms used for trading cryptocurrencies. Based on your previous analogy, the government is not proposing to regulate the internet, it is asking the porn sites to register with them. Others can continue...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    It doesn't make sense to compare Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency with the internet. Perhaps it makes sense to compare blockchain with the internet and Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency with porn. Large reputable companies are using the blockchain technology to build many useful and productive applications for...

    Just arrived at EZE - but I have no Stamp in my passport

    At the time they check my passport, they always ask me for my email address (both directions). I will then get an email (subject: Comprobante Transito - MIGRACIONES.GOB.AR) with a pdf attachment. Note that if the transit is during weekends or after regular business hours, the email will be sent...

    Milei: No Dollarization in 2024

    You can be both right at the time. Prices and exchange rates do not go up or down in a straight line. It's it quite normal for price consolidation to happen after a sharp increase or decline in a short time. If you focus on the a small time frame you see one thing, while another focusing on a...

    US Tax: Do I need to report earnings of my Argentine wife?

    If your spouse earns less than the benefit you get (larger deduction, wide tax brackets, etc...) for filing under the Married Filing Jointly vs. Separately, then of course you want to file under that status. However, in that case she has to explicitly agree to be treated as an US tax resident...

    #1 You don't really need it. #2 Don't stress over it, or you'll get constipated. #3 Never mind, don't even think about that... [Sorry, you're thinking about it, aren't you?]

    Any advice on buying a condo in BA. Trustworthy realtors and companies?

    Realtors will always tell their clients it's a great time to buy or sell, any year, any month, any week, any day. Every place they show you is 'one of a kind', beautiful, charming, has great potential, and/or is a great investment...and you better sign now before you miss that gem.

    Owner Key to your Rental

    As I said before, what you consider to be clear, unambiguous, might not be for others. What I said was that I would have a copy of the key if I were the owner. I also said was that both the owner and the renter would want the contract to state their responsibilities and interest. What I...

    Owner Key to your Rental

    It is not illogical to have backup plans. Of course BOTH sides should try to include clear details in the contract that defines their rights and interests. However, in the real world, people have different interpretations of the contracts and laws, no matter how clear one side thinks the...
