[sly elk]

rust belt states freak me out

I'll see a car posted on /r/justrolledintotheshop that looks like rusty swiss cheese and i'm thinking "that shit just came out!"

"rusty old POS" and it's like a 2015 impala

out here 2015 is still basically new

[umbral moss]

I have a 2011 😔

time for a new car

[sly elk]

lol

nono it's just those places that use salt on the roads and whatever crazy stuff tha tmakes cars fall apart real fast

[umbral moss]

I live in one of those states

my car doesn't look rusted through

although there's some damage below the paint on the roof

[sly elk]

as long as you wash the stuff off right away i think it's nbd

I thought the original mac mini was a nightmare, this is apparently worse bc its made like a stack of pancakes internally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHhkW2Ezy-o

[sly elk]

I think what really makes it a pain in the butt to take apart is also the best thing about it

every. single. port. is a daughtercard held in with screws lol

like if a usb port goes bad you can just pop it out and put a new one in

but to get the motherboard out, you have to remove every. fucking. port.

and they're attached with ribbon cables, because of course they are

but unless your motherboard dies, why would you bother pulling it out? everything's soldered on except the SSD.

I suppose to clean the fans?

my thoughts were very mixed 😄 Both "that's awesome" and "that's the worst computer I've seen in decades"

I wonder if it's assembled by robots or not

my bet is no.

https://youtu.be/nnUEkqXT1ak?t=70

[odd sand]

Let me guess: You can only open it from the bottom right?

[sly elk]

it's funny because back in the day, they basically snapped together so they could assemble them really fast

of course

[odd sand]

Instead of designing internals and making a case fit around it, they make a case design and tell the engineers "make it all fit"

[sly elk]

to be fair

[odd sand]

So they have to go through insane spastic gyrations to fit it all and connect it

[sly elk]

they've done this sorta thing over and over again since the beginning lol

they simultaneously make stuff that's really easy to take apart and stuff that's a royal nightmare

[odd sand]

I don't think any of their stuff is easy to take apart in the last 20 years or so lol

[sly elk]

the powermacs and mac pros, mostly. but not 100% lol

the first g5 imac was really easy too

the ones that had the front glass held on by magnets were .. not hard

[odd sand]

The 2020 Mac Mini is the first thing they've made in a long time I actually give them props for since the base model is actually a reasonable price by Apple standards.

[sly elk]

hey, do you guys by chance know what the cheapest laptop to play ff14 on is?

[outer sand]

Laptop is never cheaper than PC prob

[latent grotto]

You could run ffxiv on a toaster if you're ok with having everything on the lowest settings .

doesn't mean it'd feel good tho

If you already have a pc then chances are it already meets the minimum or recommended settings

And if budget is a concern then getting a ps4 would be better price to performance ratio since it'll run better than any low end pc

Or a ps5 if you can find one thats not being scalped

[eager sandal]

it depends, but the price to performance ratio is something an issue laptops face because desktops with the same crap stuffed inside performs noticeably better than a laptop

[eager sandal]

like i said to you in #questions-and-help , there's videos on youtube that can help you look for products that are at a decent price range and at an affordable cost

for an example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFhYY3iN1RU&t=649s

don't always take it at face value though, just do your research on it, im just suggesting youtube cause its a good platform for accessibility in regards to stuff like this

[latent grotto]

[sly elk]

if anyone compares an apple screen to a samsung screen they deserve a spanking!

though to be fair, especially speaking anecdotally here, if you buy an apple screen, get the extended warranty

my first apple monitor was a 22" cinema display that cost a looot and I had to get it replaced THREE TIMES

every single one had some annoying amount of defects

as I recall, the first one had a spot of dead pixels near the middle of the screen. I think the 2nd had this air bubble in the middle and you could see it move if you touched it

the 3rd was because when I sent the 2nd one in, fedex smashed it. literally.

come to think of it, I think the 3rd was the last one

at that point I was done packing and unpacking screens so I just kept it for like 6 years

eventually I got a 23" new old stock and used that sucker for about 8 years?

[wide hill]

Small story:
I went into a tech store, and bough myself 2 corsair rgb fan, and a commander pro. Blissfully thinking that is all that i needed to make it work.

Only to realise, days later. I put the "Put in RGB Hub" marked cable into the "FANS" part of the commander, and the other cable to the motherboard chassis, thinking it would work, but nope, no rgb.

Searched up a video on it, and realized, both cable and the rgb header must be connected into corsair, but.. i actually also needed an RGB hub. and the "other" cable that i put in the motherboard actually was going to be on the "FANS" of the commander.

So i bought 2 RGB fans that i can't turn on RGB cause i don't have the RGB hub.

I also realized then that the 3x pack probably had the rgb hub included, but i bought 2x singular.

Soo, now i need to order that.

Another thing i did before i actually realized this,
was i was trying to see how to remove the current front panel fan, and i saw that my screwdriver couldn't unscrew cause my cpu cooler was in the way, i didn't have any thermal paste left when i want to remove the cooler, so i ordered one online, days later, i unscrew the cpu cooler, and then try to unscrew the front panel fan... only to realize, there is nothing to screw up the fan...

And that you can actually just open the front part of the case and unscrew it there...

[sly elk]

I also realized then that the 3x pack probably had the rgb hub included, but i bought 2x singular.

it probably costs the same or less that way >>

you can buy adapters off amazon/ebay made by third parties to use those fans with whatever

(and to use whatever with an icue controller)

[wide hill]

the 3 pack w/node costed 1099nok, and a singular costed 349nok, but i didn't know that the node was with it (and i only needed 2)

and i found a post on the market that sold one node for 150 nok excluding shipping, so im hoping i could buy that.

I also tried relentlessly trying to fit my 4pin rgb cable into the 3pin led asking myself "why doesn't it fit"

[latent grotto]

the things we do for rgb

[wide hill]

but hey, atleast i got fanspin 👍

also, to remove the front panel of my fractal meshify c case, was the hardest part of this ngl.

It was so hard to open, it damaged my fingers.

yeah, well, it would, but ofcourse, the connectors were too large and i couldn't fit it in so it saved me not blowing it

[deep sapphire]

Is it fastened down well enough? I couldn’t see it flexing much with that setup

GMC Dealers Are Taking A Page From Ford With Last Minute Hummer EV Markups

as if the hummer wasn't overpriced enough already

holy crap

[odd sand]

Aren't people going to know they're marked up and tell them to fuck off?

[sly elk]

for a little more $$ you can buy a Lamborghini

looks like around $215k for a Urus or a Huracan

[odd sand]

I mean, that just means you order direct then

And have to wait

[sly elk]

they did

one of these dealers pushed a $50k markup (so $177k total otd) on someone who had reserved one and did a factory order

the problem is when you place a factory order you don't always get a signed purchase agreement agreement

(that double word was intentional)

since the car isn't considered sold to someone until you sign the final purchase agreement and drive away with it

[jaunty light]

Who can afford a 100k car in the first place rofl

Thats like 1m household income

[sly elk]

idk

a 100k 5 year car loan is like $1800/mo

yea

[jaunty light]

Id only lease for 3yr maybe 4

[sly elk]

yea risk tolerance for car loans varies pretty strongly lol

some people are like

buy a used hyundai on a 2 year loan for $100/mo

and anyone who does more than that is financially reckless

there's other people who probably have a bigger lease payment than their rent/mortgage lol

[jaunty light]

i can make the payment on a GT-R, but not afford it

for msrp 100k.. maybe like 350k would be my lowest comfortable level of income to buy something like that

[odd sand]

Generally, you're supposed to get the car for invoice price when you factory order. The dealer isn't allowed to mark that up bc it's ordered on your behalf

[jaunty light]

yea 350k in CA your takehome after factoring in if ytou're married/not and how much you contribute to pretax investing, probably less than 50%

[sly elk]

LOL

who puts 50% of their income into pretax investing

[jaunty light]

your takehome after that is 50% or less

[sly elk]

wait nvm I have a few coworkers that do that >>

[jaunty light]

im almost below 60% already

[sly elk]

I do wonder though

how much pretax you can invest 'for free'

i bet there's a good calculator for that

[jaunty light]

i just look at it from risk management if you go tits up how long can you afford to make payments on your residence/house/everything else inbetween jobs

if ur making 20k a month probably awhile if ur not bougie, if its like 8k then more than half is likely going to your stuff

yea you get the ring effect

Apple literally trying to push as much as they can try to profit from a fucking phone jesus christ

"How much can we push till people actually get upset"

[wide hill]

this is what carriers already do, apple just removes the middle man

there is some benefits to it too

by having subscription you can swap to the newest iphone without buying it full price

[livid dune]

Seems too good to believe

There's gotta be a catch

[wide hill]

yes, you pay monthly

[livid dune]

🤨

eh

[wide hill]

never heard of carriers before?

[livid dune]

nope

[wide hill]

you never had a phone before?

[livid dune]

You mean

mobile data?

[wide hill]

well, carriers also sell that yeah

[livid dune]

I don't use mobile data

[wide hill]

but you do call, no?

to get phone service, you need a carrier, a sim card

[trail flame]

ye phone carriers already do this

upgarde phone plan that's like 30usd a month

you get a new phone along with it

and then two years later you can just swap to the newest phone

on the same plan

so I guess apple is just like "why don't we just do that too and not let the carrier take a cut"

honestly depending on the price point this won't be too bad a deal

especially if they allow you to upgrade

so like if the newest iphone is 1000usd

and they release a phone every 2 years

as long as the subscription price is around 50usd you'd be just buying a new phone every 2 years + fees on top for like, whatever other shit they provide like programs

carrier mobile data etc

I personally dislike paying over time for luxury items like this and prefer a bulk sum so i dont get bit later when I forget, but for people that like to spread out their expenses it's an option

[deep sapphire]

Buying upfront is always a worse idea if the pay over time option is interest free which it usually is here. At the end of the road you’re paying the same

But more money in your pocket

[umbral moss]

yeah, this

BYOD only makes sense if you're buying something fairly inexpensive, otherwise you should absolutely ameliorate your depreciation by paying for it over time

unless you're flush enough to blow $1300 in an iphone and not feel it in a single month

that said, I'm pretty done with these giant tablets masquerading as phones

nothing like holding a piece of toast to your ear to make a phone call

need your ass a little purse to carry your phone like it's 1986 again

[trail flame]

Ye its worth spreading it out

But my personal budgeting system works better with one time purchases

I just save up

I despise monthly payments cause they stack if u do multiple and you gotta track

And with my brain i forget

[deep sapphire]

If they are large monthly payments I agree it’s better to budget it out and make a larger lump sum payment but if it’s differed over 24 months it’s usually only 30-40 bucks a month which most people (I hope) could largely ignore and set autopay

(Talking about the iPhone)

[modest moss]

can't imagine spending that much on a phone personally

[dull garnet]

Okay "Shue"

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/safa-roola-ok-okay-cute-gif-22819750

[sly elk]

I don’t like spreading the costs that way because the carrier promotions are always total bull shig

“Free after monthly credits if you buy it on a 24 month purchase plan! But you can’t pay it off early so you’re stuck with this plan for 24 months. Also no you’re on a grandfathered plan so you don’t qualify for the monthly credits but we waited 2 months to tell you that.”

[umbral moss]

verizon always tries to hit me with the "maybe we can save you money :D :D :D" when I upgrade my phone

[umbral moss]

I've been with verizon since 4G was a prototype

sprint was charging me for 4G access on an account that didn't have a 4G device on it, in an area that didn't have 4G available to it

when I asked them why I was paying for something I literally couldn't use they just told me it was a service fee and non-negotiable

turns out, making me pay $10 for something I can't use is a great way for you to lose $80 for something I do

[boreal surge]

Meanwhile me in Indonesia be like

prepaiiiiiiiidddd

But yeah I just go for the lowest monthly

Also, $80? Why? Last I checked lowest plan with decent internet access + mexico/canada access was 40

[odd sand]

Really? I remember just a few years ago they had plans for like $45/mo

[umbral moss]

not for unlimited

unlimited data is $70/80/90

and it's still fake news unlimited since they throttle you after 25/50 GB depending on the tier

[latent grotto]

Yea pretty much

Although mine is like $50

Wait nvm I'm not unlimited

[umbral moss]

like I just looked on verizon's site half an hour ago

those are today's prices for unlimited data

it's $70 per line for unlimited data

[odd sand]

I have a grandfathered unlimited with Verizon, but I'm considering dropping it bc I honestly don't use much if im not going to conventions etc.

It costs me $110/mo for the grandfathered actual unlimited

[latent grotto]

you can get a cheaper price with spectrum mobile if you have spectrum internet service

[umbral moss]

with how much data I burn through I'm considering it

[odd sand]

I'd probably be better off with just the $50 plan and paying for the extra gigs the handful of months a year I might need it

[umbral moss]

it's $15/GB 😩

[odd sand]

I work from home now

That's only for overages though right? If you know you will need more for that month you can always bump up your plan

[umbral moss]

imagine living in a country where wireless data is literally more valuable than gold

I think it works out to be about the same exchange rate

[boreal surge]

Well for the average person it is...

Also imo unlimited is really not worth if you’re basically under wifi all the time.

So thats good to go

Spatial audio and noise cancellation are working

Nothing wrong I can find with the spatial audio but the noise cancellation is meh

I can clearly hear the difference between transparency and noise cancellation

But it's probably not sth I will use a lot

Transparency is like

Uber weird tho

Like it's like it magnifies noise

I have a youtube video on to test it and it feels like its just playing the YouTube video from my pc into my ears directly but through a sponge

Pause and play by pressing stem works

Switching between noise cancellation and transparency the same way works

OK I DONY KMOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT MAKING MUSIC

Sound like

Theyre singing behind my eyeballs

Is it supposed to do that

Bass is nice

Voices not so much

Decent enough but high notes seem to go ???

Honestly for like a 40 dollar bootleg

I am VERY happy with these

Just time to see how they hold up to use

My old pair of even worse bootleg airpods lasted about a year so

Rip in rest my first bootleg pair

Very good weight to these things tbh

Theres a wireless charging board it came with time to see if it works

[potent arrow]

Here my bois

THICC

[trail flame]

Noice

These are the highest quality bootlegs i could find i went through like

So many review images to parsw out the correct shells

Fun hobby tbh

Did u kmow there are like 6 different bootleg shells in circulation

Identifiable by joints color and rim

[modest moss]

£6 for 7GB dab on that bitch

[dull garnet]

boo

[trail flame]

Oh thats kinda cool lookin

Not sth i'd use at night cause i hate when things glow like that

But its cool lookin

Its my phone making it flicker irl it looks smooth

Got hot kinda fast tho hm

I need to buy a silicon case fhat isnt white but otherwise

Very happy

[dull garnet]

mods this individual is reviewing a bootlegged product

please take appropriate action

[hard drift]

Lol

[deep sapphire]

Oh look more redditors hating on a company that they don’t use and then parroting false information trying to come off as intelligent

[trail flame]

Its cool to hate on apple

[deep sapphire]

APPLE BAD

[trail flame]

Weve all got problems bro

But ye the bootleg airpod is just cause i lose the airpods a lot so im not going for the actual legit one when i could easily drop a bud

And hunting for good bootlegs is fun

[deep sapphire]

EUGH THIS WORKSTATION COMPUTER IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND OVERPRICED doesn’t even realize most people using these work for a company that provides them for free anyway

[trail flame]

Also the apple ecosystem is a ton more streamlined than windows

You can just airdrop a file to literally everybody in your workplace in two seconds

Instead of fiddling with a cloud drive or email

Shit's pogged

[deep sapphire]

Pretty much, like apple shit just works I dunno how much better to describe it. You buy an apple product and you use it. You don’t have to sit around dealing with bullshit most of the time

[dull garnet]

and yet you would steal from them by buying bootleg products

[trail flame]

???

👁️👄👁️

I dont care about apple as a company

I like the shit they make

[deep sapphire]

Someone on Reddit said the planned obsolescence meme yet android OEMs only provide 2 years of updates and most of them lock the boot loader now

[trail flame]

They make money hand over fist it's the height of stupidity to worry about their profits

[dull garnet]

hey now, Samsung is offering the same as Apple finally!

[deep sapphire]

APPLE PRODUCTS ARE OVERPRICED buys a Samsung phone that costs more, only provides 2 years of updates and if your phone shits out you have to ship it away for a week

Oh did Samsung finally cave

[trail flame]

Ios works for me cause i dont gotta worry about a random app not workin cause its like made for this specific type of system

Is it ios?

It will work

[dull garnet]

try running older ios apps

checkmate

[trail flame]

At most u worry about version number

[deep sapphire]

I biggest gripe of iOS is the lack of native app choice

[dull garnet]

yeah, Google offering 5 years of security updates on my pixel 6. they'll probably copy samsung's approach with the 7

[trail flame]

My problem is they wont let me edit my home screen how i want it

But you know

Minor in the grand scheme of things

I used a samsung note 3 until i got really sick if random games just breaking for no reason

Mmmmmmmm dont like ur card

breaks

[deep sapphire]

Yeah and I mean it’s a valid criticism they don’t really let you do a whole lot of customization but as you said at the end of the day it’s a phone, it works, it never gives you dumb little issues all the time etc

[trail flame]

Ya its very stupid proof

Which is also important for workplaces

[deep sapphire]

Like oh man I can’t play my Super Nintendo Roms iPhone sucks!

[trail flame]

U can actually its just slightly more complicated

But u know ur on android u love complicated

Why u complainin

[dull garnet]

i legit didn't buy an ipad because i wanted tachiyomi

[deep sapphire]

Yeah I tried using some remote server shit but iTunes is cancer and it never worked for me

[trail flame]

I played psp games on my iphone it was dope

You can sideload your own apps on

Pretty easily

So u can just slap the emulator in there

[deep sapphire]

AltStore is the app I tried using

[trail flame]

Altstore is finicky

Try sideloadly

[deep sapphire]

But yeah I dunno it wouldn’t work for me

Alright thanks

[trail flame]

My problem with altstore is the server shits itself

A lot

[deep sapphire]

Yeah that seems to be what was happening for me too, it’d work and then not work within a minute of time like wtf I didn’t even go anywhere

[trail flame]

Yaa sideloadly doesnt rely on servers

However it does require u resign the apps if youre usimg a free developer account every seven days

U can donit over wifi

So its not a big deal

Just be on the same network as your pc and spam resign the apps

[deep sapphire]

Ezpz

[sly elk]

There are lots of things I don't agree with Apple on, but I still tend to like and buy their stuff.

[trail flame]

My issue is which company ISNT shit atm

But u know

We do need a phone

Might as well buy one i like

[sly elk]

At least if I go with Apple, I know that the system itself will work as a system really well.

[trail flame]

Yeah

I miss my ipad for drawing tbh

Government giving stimmy soon

Might buy it again

Its basically free

[sly elk]

like, a typical problem with Dell would be that you bought a laptop that had an unusual cheap intel wifi card that casuses BSODs, or a sketchy system management chip that causes the computer to not wake from sleep when you open the lid every now and then, or some other stupid ass problem

because dell really only assembles them and does minimal customization

all of which they have done the cheapest way possible

[dull garnet]

My sole appol product

[sly elk]

at least dell's manuals and documentations are usually written in english

[trail flame]

Theres an argument to be made for android/windows just for the sake of like

Variation/customization

But ive long moved past the my DEVICE GOTTA BE UNIQUE phase

I justneed it to like

Work

Always

And thus, apple

[sly elk]

outside of dell, basically every PC vendor is a chinese or taiwanese or malaysian company with minimal staff in the US

that especially includes DIY product manufacturers

if you buy outside of corsair or evga, haha good luck getting stuff RMA'd and getting a manual that isn't even a little annoying to read

[trail flame]

Also apple does tend to be late on the newest stuff but they also generally choose to not release things until theyve polished it to a shine

[sly elk]

I wish that were the case xD

[trail flame]

most of the time

Its why i wanna see their variation on the foldable

[sly elk]

the video output on my mom's m1 mini is a little on the buggy side at times

[trail flame]

Ive wanted one for ages

[sly elk]

apparently a pretty common issue

[trail flame]

Like just

Flipphone

But big screen

[sly elk]

there was a mavericks update that just came out that broke external video for a lot of laptop users lol

[trail flame]

Please let me flipphone

Hangup on someone

Apple im fuckin watchin u

Ive had my XS for a while now so im eyeing the fliphone if its a good powerful phone and not just there for the flip

They patented some funky ass designs

[dull garnet]

but apple don't make those

[trail flame]

...yeah? The whole point was that they patented designs so theyre probably eventually going to

Which is why im keeping an eye out

[dull garnet]

in case you see an unreleased phone in a store?

[trail flame]

...for an announcement???

I dunno if this is surprising to you but people can anticipate news 👁️👄👁️

[sly elk]

I also adore how Apple does.. things....

like make a $1000 monitor stand that is definitely not worth $1000 in utility

they like making electronic jewelry haha

I guess I see it like spending $1500 or whatever on a herman miller chair

[hard drift]

I mean those chairs last atleast lol

[trail flame]

Yeah apple is like

Here's our line of shit that is expensive but aight cost wise

And here's our line of "i have way too much money"

Dude i saw a couple picking out every accessory they wanted from the apple store

And its like u really spending 50 dollars on a silicon case

👁️👄👁️

U could get that for like 10 at any other store but ok

[sly elk]

suuuuure but idk

they're not like "holy shit what was I doing all these years with regular chairs"

from the name of a post on /r/battlestations: "Price/performance ratio through the roof at the cost of aesthetics.Custom Loop (i.redd.it)"
this is why a lot of people hate macs XD they're very much not a price/performance brand.

idk if I agree with the stories about the mac studio/m1 max/m1 ultra performance though

afaik the performance is fantastic if you're doing one of the things the chip was built to handle really well

[kindred brook]

chances

of it being in stock

in 2 hours?

[dull garnet]

0

[kindred brook]

FFFFFFFFFF

[dull garnet]

member of staff grabbed it

[hard drift]

Lol

[hard drift]

Smh

Just wait at this point lol

[potent arrow]

BEHEHEH

[kindred brook]

wait

Sarah is going to be a vtuber?!

[odd sand]

Except you could make an argument for the Logitech G chair if you spend most of your day and evening in front of the PC between work and vidya. The stand is just a blatant cash grab bc they know the apple sheeple will still buy it.

(I saw a review of the chair and it does look pretty slick. I wonder if I can find one at Office Depot or Staples or something to test out. Although I won't have the money for something like that until summer. Need to pay down all the moving expenses)

[sly elk]

hella cute!

the logitech chair looks nice but it's basically the same chair I'm sitting in right now. I would argue it's not worth the $$ haha 😄

herman miller has dealers in most cities so you could find one of those probably, not sure they carry the logitech G version though

[jaunty light]

Its just a g branded ver of the chair tho

[odd sand]

Well whichever one. You are paying for the name with Hermann Miller, but they're also kinda hard to beat

They are the Apple of chairs heh

It says something that a chair they designed in the 60s is still considered to be the most comfortable lounge chair today

[jaunty light]

U get what u pay for, unlike apple monitor stand

[sly elk]

idk I think there are other brands that do everything herman miller does, but for half the price

but it's like apple in the sense that the other brand chairs will be mostly worthless used

but people seek out used HMs and will pay good money for them

like you can use an embody for a few years and still get half your money back lol

the $1000 stand goes for about $800 used on fleabay lol

[odd sand]

HM is a known quantity is why. If I look at other vendors I don't know if it's actually a quality chair or just made to look nice but actually garbage.

[jaunty light]

Just do it

[modern iris]

I wish ppl would not make low-ball offers on my PNY GeForce 3080. I'm not offering it for an insanely high price, but around retail.

[hard drift]

define around retail?

[modern iris]

$900

[hard drift]

that's not around retail

if it's used it's already worth less generally especially with the market normalizing more now

[modern iris]

That's what I mean. You're gonna find it between $749 if you're lucky, or like $950 direct from Newegg, or $1300 on Amazon from third parties

[hard drift]

it's already dropping rapidly, we'll see the msrp of 700ish really soon

[modest moss]

brand new at 700 earlier today

[hard drift]

you figure you can buy the 12gb version right now for 1200ish

and the 10gb is worth 700

[modest moss]

didn't last long, but it's an indicator

[modern iris]

I really don't think the slim pickings popping up here and there are justification for me to sell well below $900.

[hard drift]

it's not just slim pickings

[modern iris]

And it being "used" is hilarious because it's really not a big deal unless it's been used for mining cryptocurrency.

[hard drift]

it's still a big deal because given the time frame in which the card was released how long was it used for etc

[modest moss]

nobody knows what you used it for mate, so that's a risk for a buyer

[hard drift]

not to mention, why're you selling it, did it die? are you having problems with it? etc

[modest moss]

you may well have barely used it, but a buyer will assume you beasted the hell out of it

[modern iris]

I'm going on Best Buy and 10-12 GB models are selling for $1149 to $1649

[hard drift]

a lot of sellers right now are going to try and cash in on the fact that their crypto is about to plummet so it's also a risk buying atm

[modest moss]

you might even get your 900 with some patience, but it's really not surprising that people will shoot their shot

[modern iris]

If someone feels like there is a chance that the card they're buying used was possibly beat to hell/used for crypto, that's when you ask the seller to stipulate a return policy that would allow for a return if it's in worse shape than stipulated in the PayPal invoice.

It's super easy to do and I'd personally have no issue stipulating such a return policy since I know my card is in very good condition.

[modest moss]

I would never except a return policy on a used card like that, not unless they were an established business

maybe you are, idk

[jaunty light]

Online selling stuff like that is ripe for scammin'

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs-gxnjWATw

damn that interior tho

[jaunty light]

It lame huh

😔

[sly elk]

haha

i gotta admit

for 2020/2021 i thought the ram was the most normal looking

the f150 lightning looks good though, same with the hummer truck

i think the chevy needs better looking mirrors

[hard drift]

Not true ice

[deep sapphire]

ur lame

[hard drift]

Aibs have around msrp and their high end

[sly elk]

Finally a Chevy truck with a good looking interior!
people say this every time chevy updates their interiors lol

[deep sapphire]

like I agree with you GM interiors are infamously bad but the outgoing model was a joke

it literally carried over the previous interior while making a completely updated truck

so it used the interior from the 2014 model

[sly elk]

tbh I haven't looked at the 2021 interior

[deep sapphire]

2014 to 2022 using the same interior is pretty bad

[sly elk]

idk if the quality is a problem? it is a very strange looking dashboard

but ti looks like some models had this?

[modest moss]

that centre thing is so wide

[sly elk]

they both look gross to me xD but i dunno if the quality is bad

quality looks fine to me

[jaunty light]

They stole the g70 interior!

And made it wide!

[sly elk]

trucks always have really wide interiors lol

[jaunty light]

Its awful

[sly elk]

for comaprison, a ram interior?

[jaunty light]

Why not copy ram

[jaunty light]

New ram

The 11im screen

12in*

[modest moss]

half the width on that, give me extra butt space

[sly elk]

oo here we go, taken with a flash, the most unflattering way to picture the inside of the car

[jaunty light]

Ram with 12in is my fav truck interior atm

Ford is still plastic trash

[sly elk]

soooo

the ram has wider seats?

[jaunty light]

For my fat ass

[modest moss]

what the fuck is that for, changing diapers or a 3 course family meal?

[sly elk]

lol

oh the fold out table thing?

[modest moss]

yeah that's ridic

[sly elk]

my favorite part about those, is i think it's only offered on the model that has a floor shifter

[modest moss]

bruh

[sly elk]

and in order to fold the table out

you have to fold the shifter handle

and they have this fancy motor to do that

nicely done ice!

https://youtu.be/nRvLKKoAUU8?t=33

it's very much one of those "but, why?!" things

the work truck version has a table but it's way simpler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjT_dKnUrh4

and maybe a bit more useful

also both the column and floor shifter versions physically move the shifter back to park if you open the door while the vehicle is in drive

https://youtu.be/enyZe9cjDuk?t=27 https://youtu.be/E0YpnLNhIoI?t=36

i wonder how much of the dashboard you have to tear out if the shifter malfunctions

diesel silverado bruh

hehe the HD looks so comical

i wonder how nobody has made a horror movie with that yet

[jaunty light]

They make u pay for platinum to get a grille that doesnt look lile trash

[sly elk]

[ o ]

[jaunty light]

Also 80k for a base model truck HAHA

[deep sapphire]

yeah an ugly ass truck with lame performance figures and its just a retrofitted F-150 chassis with batteries

[modest moss]

ugly, ugly, ugly

[deep sapphire]

why would anyone buy this when you could go buy a rivian or just wait for GM's offerings which are dedicated EV platforms

[jaunty light]

Rivian huh

Vaporware!

even if they kinda shot themselves in the foot the R1T is still a badass truck

We have shit govt pension

You need to work as a congressional/wh/pentagon staffer

[deep sapphire]

the only reason to have a government job is because its job security and the benefits are usually top notch

[jaunty light]

[jaunty light]

I work DoD and its not that great. A lot better than contracting but I want EU benefits

[deep sapphire]

these are people who are 38 and work at arby's

if you have any formal education or just a brain you can easily make 70K or more

[jaunty light]

At least you get 1 month of paternity leave for fed iirc

[deep sapphire]

my deductible is only 2000

[jaunty light]

But atarting out you only get about 10days of annual and 10days of sick

[deep sapphire]

EU benefits are nicer but they usually make a lot less

[jaunty light]

I only get 13 days comvined as a contractor

:OmegaLUL:

[deep sapphire]

so you just kinda have to look at it like sure I make way more here but I have to pay out of pocket for my medical expenses etc etc

so its pretty even all things considered

thats how I see it atleast

[jaunty light]

I dont get paid shit as a contractor im like 40k underpaid atm

😔
