It was cheap and on sale and I've been thinking it would be nice to have a little networked storage that's better then the thumb drive stuck in my router and without hassling with a full NAS setup. I think the line might be getting discontinued because I got it for $139 for a 250GB drive.

I've also become so averse to old-school hard drives that even for portable storage unlikely to move a lot I just wanted solid state.

Can you stream movies from it? I bought a cheap laptop from Costco and attached my 1TB HD to it for my movie center. It can play movies just fine but struggles on HD youtube videos. :argh:

edit: oh duh I'd need to find a way to connect it to my TV so I guess it doesn't matter.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Woah I didn't even know those existed.

My payment status is still not available. I'm getting worried I might not even get one. :(

it will be a while if you’re a beneficiary of any ssa stuff, the ssa only sent information to irs yesterday.

I just ordered it a few days ago so haven't roadtested it. I think it said it could be streamed from, but that's not a use-case I had considered when I got it.

I checked just now and I got an update! After weeks of it being payment status unavailable I have a date of April 7th. Not sure why it took this long since I'm on disability and they have my direct deposit information but here we are.

The process of distributing payments seems like it has been a bit haphazard.

Didn't get the last 600 dollar check, didn't get the 1400 dollar check, can't seem to get my refund which got accepted by the IRS way back on Feb. 18th. At this point, I've just given up, even though I really, really need it..

As a person also on disability, my status finally updated and says the 7th as well. I feel much better now, was dreading having to contact the IRS.

Personally I'm looking forward to the IRS giving me a refund on that unemployment money I paid taxes on.

My brain is disabled so I would have just gotten really depressed and accepted defeat and would never do anything about it.

Believe me, I hate making phone calls and would have done everything possible before I actually called. Social anxiety seems to be my main hobby.

It can take up to 4 weeks. Maybe you'll get it in time for the weekend or next week!

Call the IRS. A rep who knows what they're doing can tell you about what's happening on the other side of the fence so you're not sitting in the dark and can take actions to fix things if things were sent but just never made it to you.

I wish there was a better way too, but the only other way is sending a letter to the service center, and that's got a 30 day timeframe on it. If the IRS had more agents, it'd be easier to get through, but certain people preferred the agency without additional funds for that and well....

Just a reminder: If you get that prepaid debit card, you can go to EIPcard.com and transfer it to a bank account with no fees.

I just now realized that maybe I should've been a bit suspicious of a site that doesn't end in gov, but I did it last time and it worked so :shrug:

That site, the cards, and the names of every thing involved (Metabank? Money Network Financial, LLC? :rolleyes:) all look sketchy as hell but they're legit. They look like a scam because the government spent the smallest amount of effort carrying out every aspect of this thing, including naming poo poo and putting official government seals on paperwork.
