i hate filezilla

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

use winscp

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

i dont like winscp

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

better than filezilla imo

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

smartftp is better than both

#

But expensive af

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

dunno why smartftp would be better than winscp tbh

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

both terminal and sftp in one

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

https://discordjs.moe/🐠jT😽😻😿😼n.gif

and if you meant ssh terminal https://discordjs.moe/MR💣7❤😼U🦇.gif

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 9:56 PM

i am very well aware

#

of this function

i tried this but it was kinda lame and you couldn't do much

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

its a normal bash shell

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

ah wait no tthats atom sorry

#

i had a plugin that basic shit

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

the only thing smartftp has over winscp imo is the pic preview

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

ok thats dope

#

i did not know this

#

ty

#

wait dark theme

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

other than that idk winscp makes progress each update in a pretty good direction

#

they should fix the dark theme yes

#

looks kinda weird

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:02 PM

does dinotrail.tk go to random ad for you

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

now i need to remake my htcaccess -_- something caused it to not work and i cant remermber

#

i think it was an allow perm somewhere

#

oh

#

i noticed something

#

another reason i didn't like wincp

#

is that it wouldn't show files

#

only folders

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

it shows files tho

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:05 PM

nope

#

not for me

it opened the editor

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:06 PM

no i dragged a file

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:06 PM

oh

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

it still wont show on restart

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

works for me

#

did u drag it into a folder

#

maybe

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

no

#

it seems to be httaccess file only 😄

#

whyyy

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

can drag and drop a .htaccess file aswell

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:08 PM

i can drag but i cant see it

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:09 PM

oh wait i know

that succ

#

its for not accidentally deleting it

since it can be rather important

#

fixed callums life

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

Well that sucks

#

i cant use my key in atom sftp

#

can i make a separate account without ssh key needed?

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

i mean

#

use vsc KAPPA

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

does it have a dark theme

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

yes

#

and an sftp extension that can use private keys

#

not sure how similar that sftp extension is to atom's

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

@fair gull You have a custom 404 right?

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

yes

#

@proud nacelle its also FOSS

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

can you show me, i managed to get it working but none of my code works properly

#

like it only picks up the html or php file

#

not the files etc

#

so like all the content would be missing

fair gull Apr 17, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

/shrug tbh dont care bout that stuff

#

exactly

#

@pale sigil cant show stuff cause in bed pc off

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 10:38 PM

📎 unknown.png

#

example

#

no its in a seperate folder but my code is pointing

#

there

#

i will try same folder now

#

wait no

#

its in the same folder

#

interesting

#

just tested with a url

#

its deffo a dir issue

#

meh ik what to do then

#

ill just have the files on files.callumbyrne.com

#

lol

#

and call from there

#

idk why it wont call from the dir itself

#

strange

#

it loads the 404

#

tried that already

#

there we go

#

nvm

pale sigil Apr 17, 2019, 11:49 PM

#

i think i know the issue

#

i think someone snagged my domain host login

#

im not sure but its gone from my login and now is up for sale

#

#

the domains records was changed to an address in the US

#

welp

#

guess im using dinotrailar.tknow

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

@pale sigil u wanted to know how i deal with 404 pages right

#

error_page 404 /404.html;

#

that in my nginx config for the domain

#

can be php or whatever aswell

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

btw i redacted the path cause dont wanna get some shit for that

pale sigil Apr 18, 2019, 12:03 PM

#

@fair gull ye pretty much what I did, I fixed my dir issue tho

#

Well for some reason it wouldn't see the current folder as the root, for example when calling for files originally it was

/files/file.js because I have a folder I store stuff in

But.... For some reason it wouldn't be the root so I had to actually do the full dir

/error/files/file.js

#

Which makes no sense

#

Mhmm

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

poor soul tbh

pale sigil Apr 18, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

Nothing wrong with it

#

Like If you care so much I'll switch

#

Pft

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

just idk apache is pretty slow for static files in my experience

#

plus it doesnt default to multithreading

#

so heavy workloads can really punch it in the dick

#

i mean if you have that few files sure you will prob not notice

#

but i serve over 20k pictures a day and multiple php platforms and nodejs webservices (microservices actually)

#

and i cant imagine apache handling this well

#

it already bottlenecked on WBB 2 years ago

#

and thats just a small board software

pale sigil Apr 18, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

Huh

#

That's a lot of uploads a day

#

I use mine the exact way you do

#

For pics

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

well i have a public service and a mirror for a friend plus the node shit

#

oh and a lavalink node with webinterface

#

lavalink is a audio server for streaming audio from multiple services and files to any service via websockets

#

mirroring is just having a backup basically

#

node shit means nodejs microservices which is a small webapp usually that has a very specific purpose and doesnt handle more than this 1 thing

#

making it more performant

#

webinterface just means you can change settings and control an application like lavalink via a website

#

kanye?

#

wha

#

i dont get it tbh

#

anyway basically (do mind this was 2 years ago) apache struggled with a pretty simple php board and nginx didnt

#

which is why i keep using it till this day

#

oh and apache treats ram like free realestate

pale sigil Apr 18, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

that i wont deny

#

but technically speaking

#

thats how ram works anyway

#

xD

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

my nginx workers are using 100mb in total while serving all those pic etc

#

idk how much apache would use

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 5:24 PM

now it is

i meant make a new company with the employees that u fired

#

first u make them sign a contract where they automatically get fired if the company gets sold

#

second you settle for like 10mil

#

or whatever is appropriate for your company

#

step 3 make new company

#

bonus ud screw the buyer

#

but prob impossible thx to laws or shit

pale sigil Apr 18, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

Most contracts don't allow workers to work with another company for so long

The company who bought can probably sue

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

technically they wouldnt be working there anymore

pale sigil Apr 18, 2019, 5:39 PM

Yes but they'd be working for the new company which will breach the contracts which the new owner will well own

how is that a gag contract

solar hinge Apr 18, 2019, 6:41 PM

gag contract in the sense, you cannot go to competitors

#

maybe a bad way to phrase it

#

can't remember what it's called in english

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 6:42 PM

just say it in dutch

timid chasm Apr 18, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

non-compete clause

fair gull Apr 18, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

this is more of a "you wont have work if we sell" contract

#

it means you are free todo whatever

#

if the kind of thing i mentioned is even possible

#

just means you could join the new company the old ceo makes

#

or join whatever comp

Quick tech question: should I keep pagefile disabled on my OS SSD? Some sources claim that enabling it on an SSD will shorten its life expectancy a lot, but other sources say modern SSDs can handle this amount of writes easily and last for a decade at least. I consider enabling it back to improve performance

solar hinge Apr 18, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

how often do you replace your SSD

reef patrol Apr 18, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

Both are true.

solar hinge Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

if that is every 2-3 years, it's fine

reef patrol Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Even with pagefile and caching for games, you shouldn't see an SSD die from natural causes before it's long since outdated.

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Well I got quite expensive Samsung nand drive

solar hinge Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

if it's every 10 years, you're lying to yourself and need to go into therapy

reef patrol Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Pagefiles are kind of important, unless you have a ton of RAM 😄

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

I still got it enabled on my data hdd

solar hinge Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

that's what is messing up with my sleep mode, right @reef patrol ?

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

And got 16 gigs of ram

reef patrol Apr 18, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

It can easily happen with games that allocate RAM preemptively.

#

They reserve RAM, and then the OS panics.

#

It's perfectly safe to keep the page file on. If the OS doesn't need it, it won't overwrite it.

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

I aim for this SSD to last usable for OS for at least 5 years, then possibly upgrade/replace and plug old one into secondary M2 slot

wheat plume Apr 18, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

enable trimming too

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

I'm thinking of that topic recent days as my PC rarely stutters entire OS

reef patrol Apr 18, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

Mhmm. Always take backups 😄

#

Firmware updates on SSDs can be crucial though.
We've had some Kingston SSDs that would slowly become slower and slower to the point of acting like bad harddrives.

Firmware bug. Took 10 seconds to fix with an update.

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

Meh I already reinstalled Windows a few weeks ago, apparently messed something up and ended up in endless auto repair mode

reef patrol Apr 18, 2019, 8:47 PM

Can't hurt to check if you can backup temporarily.

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

Keep the important stuff on the HDD, whenever OS dies it's not a problem to reinstall it

reef patrol Apr 18, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

Here's my personal trick to keeping my OS SSD thin.
I relocate all of my user folders to my HDD. I don't need super fast access to documents, images, movies and such. Desktop and downloads folders too

harsh terrace Apr 18, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

I was considering NAS with two mirrored raid drives installed but that's expensive and don't want to cut a hole in my budget right now

#

True

#

Always check their health in the first place ofc

#

Then having 4 is a good idea as well if 2 of your drives fail lul

#

Inb4 a closet full of HDDs duping the same data

#

That's vulnerable to fires tho

#

On the other hand your house is not a french cathedral so you shouldn't worry about fires too much

#

Well everything is fine in my configs now

#

Time to defrag my ssd

ngl

#

this company is epic

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

well they definitely want to push proton so it'll probably have good integration for that in the SDK, should make it basically no effort for devs, if the engine has no issues

potent shoal Apr 18, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

one of my switches got broken and they sent me 12 for free 😄

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

nah, the "vr is taxing on your gpu" is mostly coming from reaaaaaaaally early dev stuff and marketing so nvidia can sell more high end gpus

#

cant find what the feature was called, but epic basically developed a feature to render frames for the two vr screens in tandem so you can quite often get close to a 100% boost in fps for ue4 vr games

#

they made it when they developed Robo Recall (oculus store game, its free, amazing game)

#

I mean if you now dislike an engine feature because of a store, idk rooShrug

#

just like every single of their engine features you can in theory just take it and use it in your completly custom made engine but sure vvShrug

#

interresting that you would chose a closed system over an open source solution vvThink

#

with open source I meant UE4

#

since UE4?

#

https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/eula

#

?

#

if you make more thank 3k per quarter

#

oh I know about godot but I dont care about it

#

honestly, if you make enough for that to affect you, you can afford to pay someone to deal with legal stuff for you

#

yea but then it is a big project that is likely benefitting from being made in unity/unreal

#

google stadia but cloud programming when LUL3D

gentle turret Apr 18, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

@ashen spindle are you sure it's a thing epic did and it isn't this? https://developer.nvidia.com/vrworks/graphics/singlepassstereo

NVIDIA Developer

VRWorks - Single Pass Stereo

Traditionally, VR applications have to draw geometry twice -- once for the left eye, and once for the right eye. This essentially doubles the processing required from non VR applications. Hardware:

#

take a guess

#

it requires Pascal or above for that specific feature

#

but does give a pretty large perf boost

#

and it is integrated into UE and Unity

#

well this specific feature is literally something baked into Pascals architecture

#

not just a software thing

#

they redid part of the arch when they moved from maxwell to pascal to enable stuff like that and simultaneous multi projection

#

📎 aHR0cDovL21lZGlhLmJlc3RvZm1pY3JvLmNvbS82L0YvNTgyMTM1L29yaWdpbmFsL1NNUC5qcGc.png

#

I believe single pass stereo is actually using simultaneous multi projection

#

Radeon Tech Group have this tendency to uh

#

reveal they have a similar tech

#

but then you never see it ever again

#

I think they have a solution similar to simultaneous multi projection, but I'm not sure if they have a take on single pass stereo

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 11:42 PM

Round Robin Occlusion is the thig unreal has

#

havent looked into it beyond what it does. so idk if it is based on this or not

#

and its not nvidia only so its not the same thing at least

gentle turret Apr 18, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

might be an engine implementation that can use VRWorks if you happen to have an NV GPU

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

nah works on amd gpus aswell

gentle turret Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

yes that's what I just said

#

an engine implementation that can use VRWorks if you have a capable GPU

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

ahh

gentle turret Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

so it can use the GPUs instructions if they exist

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

nah I doubt that, epic have been clear in when they add tech like that

#

and this doesnt mention vrworks at all

gentle turret Apr 18, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

well UE certainly does use the VRWorks version

#

for NVIDIA that is

#

as does unity which also has an implementation listed as working on PC and PSVR

#

which means it has to work on AMD since PS4 is AMD

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

ok vrworks has sdks for unreal since version 4.11 but round robin occlusion is a feature since 4.21

#

so it seems to be a feature that maybe got the idea from it but is something different

gentle turret Apr 18, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

interesting

#

an AMD SoC

#

it was never really a question

ashen spindle Apr 18, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

navi was made for console SoC

gentle turret Apr 18, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

NVIDIA don't care about consoles they're too busy pushing datacenter and autonomous driving

#

and both MS and Sony already have AMD as a close partner

#

PS5 is Ryzen+Navi SoC with an SSD

#

to be fair if it was NVIDIA it'd perform better in the same power envelope

#

it's not so much that NVIDIA weren't considered, it's that they already have AMD as a partner, and a partner willing to go much cheaper than anyone else

#

back before the PS4 came out Sony went to NVIDIA first, but they refused to meet Sonys pricing demands

#

whereas AMD had no money anyway

#

https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/150892-nvidia-gave-amd-ps4-because-console-margins-are-terrible

ExtremeTech

Joel Hruska

Nvidia gave AMD the PS4 because console margins are terrible - Ext...

Nvidia and Sony talked about the PS4 -- and Nvidia apparently walked away from the discussion. From the GPU designer's perspective, it may not have been a bad idea.

#

the Xbox One is running basically the same thing as the PS4

#

the Xbox One X is a further customised version, but still basically the same

#

yep

#

and since they're both super similar chips it's like two loads of money for one thing

#

I think the money from that will be bundled in with the semi-custom category which makes it a bit harder to tell for sure

#

since semi custom is in turn bundled in with other categories, including servers

#

well at the time they were being murdered by bulldozer being a massive failure

#

and were essentially bankrupt

#

yeah

#

so if a massive deal comes your way as long as it gives some profit you may as well take it

#

NVIDIA being the only opponent in the ring makes it harder for them

#

due to monopoly laws kicking in

#

they'll never let AMD fail, they'll just keep them hanging

#

well their best GPU right now isn't beating one of NVIDIAs mid range whilst costing the same

#

and it's as low as they can make the price

#

and supposedly on very little margin

#

they always seem to be a year or so late recently

#

benchmarks tend to be done with the NVIDIA stuff disabled for fairness

#

and even then and in games that have no NVIDIA stuff anyway the VII is still not beating the 2080

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:04 AM

#

that reminds me, amd had the true audio thing years ago that never took off, mentioned to someone here that raytracing might be used for that in the future, looks like amd is coming back to it with the PS5 SoC

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:05 AM

https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=linux

#

you can sort this by linux only and drop down the video card description

#

not as bad as the Windows stats at least

#

those are pitiful

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

hardware survey is optional and nobody knows how they select people to take them, so take them with a grain of salt

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

it's a pretty accurate representation and stays pretty constant over the months

#

at least for the Windows stats it certainly matches expected results based on marketshare

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

oh yeah I dont mean its completely off, but still has some unknown variance to it

#

nah, with how long intel pushed 4 cores as the best there is for desktop it makes sense

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

yeah it's physical

#

it'd need to be logical for SMT to be counted

#

I imagine manjaros stats are inflated by the lack of a version number

#

so every version is grouped

#

you can get more info but it's aggregated

#

well the 1060 is the overall most popular GPU

#

even for Windows

#

taking 15.58% currently

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:12 AM

#

and was released 3 or 4 months earlier

#

over 3k 2D games on steam

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:14 AM

#

I wonder if laptops with switching graphics have both GPUs counted

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:14 AM

#

prob not, since they only recently switched to ignoring intel gpus when there is a dedicated one

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:14 AM

#

Windows 10 shows both

#

at least for my friend with a HD 620 + 1050 Ti

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:15 AM

#

so switching gpus are probably still making it look different

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:15 AM

#

GPU0 = 620, GPU1 = 1050 Ti

#

then NVIDIA Optimus switches the active

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:15 AM

#

same with my MX150 laptop

#

Blizzard showing Data LUL3D good one

#

they dont even show what they change in patches for their games

#

the others idk

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

Origin, Uplay, Battle.net, and Epic Launcher all don't have a stats page

#

Steam being the current market leader with by far the largest install base/active users and widest variety of games should logically give the best picture anyway

#

I assume at this current stage in epics life their launcher would be disproportionate due to all the young kids on fortnite

#

Battle.net would likely lean NVIDIA quite heavily too, WoW has historically run a lot better on NVIDIA over AMD due to the nature of the game/engine

#

not sure if WoWs recent DX12 update will have changed that

#

would be an interesting comparison

ashen spindle Apr 19, 2019, 12:29 AM

#

that and the launcher is also used for unreal engine development if you dont use the source code, so that is something that would change the results too

gentle turret Apr 19, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

so epics stats would just be a load of walmart PCs plus a load of dev machines

fallow bison Apr 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

~~brexit~~

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

its simply because its imported which doesn't matter due to Apple Care/Warrenty being covered globally.

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

just because it has official apple warranty doesn't mean it'S not a repaired unit

apple repair centers are shady af

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

its brand new

#

jesus christ

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

how can you tell?

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

and import means its more expensive usually

#

i mean where did u buy it from

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

Because its not being sold by Apple or as a refurb, its sealed, brand new and literally you have to register it on the Apple site for warrenty where you can see when it was made etc

#

it was brand new, im not a moron.

#

Otherwise i wouldn't have got my sister to go via this route

#

Originally i took the risk with PayPal protection, it paid off well and now loads of my friends did it.

#

I in no way feel the value of IPads are worth it directly from Apple etc but in general they seem a lot cheaper in the uk inland also

#

also tbh, i also bought mine and hers during a discount

IPad 2018 right now is 230 which is cheap.

#

You also dont have to worry about import fees etc as they import into a warehouse then send out

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

tbh that sounds dodgy af

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

same

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

My point is i dont want to spend 500 quid for a tablet to last as long as a 230 quid one.

#

As much as i dislike IOS it does everything it needs to do for me.

#

And i can go beyond via Jailbreak.

#

Also ye it looks dogy af but its legit, i cant speak for their other shit.

#

But IPad wise its legit.

#

and its posted a lot in the UK forums

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

well, if you get a 500€ tablet from something similarly dodgy you could likely also get it for half price

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

ill say theres still some catch to it being so cheap. smth like minor defects etc or it well being stolen or some shit

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 for example is just as expensive tbh

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:17 PM

there has to be a cacth... as a vendor you cant get tablets from half their retail price

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

but like i said it worked out for me and my friends and family

#

they are brand new etc

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

the margins arent that high

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

they just buy it cheaper in other countries

#

and import

#

This has been a thing for years in general.

#

Just some items buying ones located in different countries comes with a cost such as disc PAL etc

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

and you are telling us that they can save over 50% with that?

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

but IPads are global warrenty wise and apple care

#

so literally don't pay the price

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

apparently ipads are so cheap somewhere that you can save almost 50%

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

50%? wut

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

it is 400€ usually

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:21 PM

50% would be 150 lol

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

well 100-130 gbp

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

and they cut it down to 230

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

they sell for 300 here

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

msrp is 350gbp

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

gotta add import

#

and their margin

#

so somewhere around 50%

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

its like aliexpress

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

yama they dont take margins its a service for the greater good of the UK

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:22 PM

cheaper in general

#

well not really a good example

#

at all

#

Here is an example

fair gull Apr 19, 2019, 5:22 PM

"its like aliexpress" so i always get cheap knockoffs or trash

and in rare cases i get what i ordered

have you ever heard of taobao?

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:22 PM

then they'd have to buy directly from factory

apple isn't cheap in china

at leawst in retail

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

but my point is if you can buy local you save a shit ton....

latent mural Apr 19, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

you can totally do that

#

apple has to keep their working conditions

#

whihc leaves the factories some time where they can produce apple products but can't sell them to apple

#

not producing is more expensive usually

#

might not be directly from the factory but some kind of middleman selling it on the streets of shenzhen

pale sigil Apr 19, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Essentially Eglobal buy in bulk and send in bulk, its why orders take 5 days to process

#

We source our products from trusted official dealers around the world and then import them to Europe. Therefore we are able to cut most of the middle-man expenses to allow us to offer you low prices, helping you save directly from your pocket! Moreover, our operations are online and as a result have lower costs.

#

bulk = discounts for them remember

#

literally before i got this IPad i was a dick to my friend about her buying a Pro.... i was shitting on it and bla bla bla, hell i also shit on android tablets so ye, i have always been anti Apple.

But IPad at this price, its fast, works and awesome.
