Most credit cards have the due date on the same day every month. You can also change it online to to another day of the month if that's something you care about. Personally I just set up autopay from a brokerage account and never think

Related: Most banks let you pay credit cards over the phone using a debit card. This is usually intended for debt collection though, so you may have to have to call the debt collection phone number to do it. Of course the main use case for

Interesting, does anyone know what percentage of top Android apps run on RISC-V? I'd expect a lot of apps like games to only have binaries for ARM

Wat. - You're replying to a thread about someone using a 1GB Pi 3 to stream multiple 4K movies. It's $44 on Amazon including fast shipping. Cheaper on eBay if you can wait 3 days. - The 8GB Pi 4 is $75 on canakit, not $160. Anyway

Aight have you tried transcoding a normal file (today that means 4K resolution) to H264? It usually won't play because the standard limits resolution to 2048 pixels.
