   FTUSA guarantees all the calculations are accurate and a maximum refund. Seems like they'd be on the hook for any K-1 issues.

    I'd still want to see the entire response all at once. Having it stream in while I read it would be very distracting and make it difficult for me to read.

    Can I maybe switch accounts from the first screen instead of the second this rendition? It feels so weird to respond to "hi wrongaccount@gmail.com, click next to continue" with next.

    My mom also uses Bernina; newer versions don't need the dongle but do install a 'driver' as part of the copy protection. She runs the software in a VMWare Fusion Windows ARM VM running on an M1 macbook air; I'm astonishe

    I switched from mint to personal capital years ago and I couldn't be happier. The UI is so much more responsive and the site is more reliable. The design is a lot better too.

    Many (most?) don't have an option. Their employer pays the office 365 bill and won't pay for an alternative. You're also stuck with file compatibility problemsif you use a potentially superior product.

    In some jurisdictions tailgating is essential. Most drivers are super aggressive and cut in, making the people behind you angry and you get nowhere.

    Using an intermediate client would go against many of the claimed performance benefits of not using the FK. One would also likely lose the ACI from ACID. Replicating those features in the intermediate client sure is risky; it would require
