you just gotta know the tech
i've been able to get every nvidia card at msrp
just Fe though
Lil dude 
https://www.newegg.com/asus-pg27aqwp-w-26-5-woled-540-hz-rog-swift/p/N82E16824281395 should we @pliant berry @random osprey 
yes, buy it for me plz 
not even 4k
Theo will use a discount just to buy every single on in stock smh
No
why not jp
buy a 5080 instead
U guys get discounts? 
-10%
gpu thing is odd
no shipping updates
hey maybe itll still turn up
Contacted customer service they told me they rescheduled it for delivery upto 11:59pm yesterday…
Its almost 1:30 am now…
Maybe…
oh god
$600 for 5mb
this is my second personal acct
they saw the ram prices and said "you know ram is too cheap rn"
politcal reasons
thats all ill say for fear of going to far into politics
😿
my cat would eat that up in a heartbeat
Spidey buddy now on ceiling

There was a spidey that got on the roach trap

It wasn’t for you man
Bro did not deserve it
basically
"lost" carrier snagged that
A PARENTLESS RAT BASTARD STOLE IT
shipped by amazon…
maybe drones are the future of delivery. cant steal 🗿
Hmmm I wonder if someone would be willing to trade a 5080 trio for a 5080 fe
but trading is risky
Ask if they got a replacement
Maybe you’ll be lucky

If not complain that there isn’t any at this price
best case scenario, they send a replacement and the lost one shows up magically like a week from now 🗿
Worse case scenario you’re $1000 richer
Fml
…
Hah ofc microcenter increased their prices further right after I got f*cked by amazon
Bfr prices btw
Omfg they issued the refund to my amazon account instead of my cc
Does your microcenter not have 5070 ti in stock?
I aint buying these garbage models
At that price nonetheless
Tfw
newegg must be crazy thinking people are gonna pay those ridiculous RAM prices.
@dense locust they want me order from third party sellers bruh
Goddamn scamazon man
Wdym third party?
Guys never order parts from scamazon…
Even the shipped and sold by amazon ones
Their workers are frankly too unreliable and I have a glaring suspicion my gpu was definitely stolen by one of them mfs whose parents didn’t raise and educate them properly
Is there such a thing as a body camera that uses NVME?? Im dying from Colon cancer, because a doctor didnt want to do the work at what my insurance paid, so deleted the colonoscopy records, and I need a good body camera to get all summons I serve. Problem is, the few I tried cant keep up. Im trying to find one that uses nvme, as thats the fastest medium on market today, and no worry of bottlenecking.
cameras that use ssds are rare as is, so you probably won't be able to find one
sd card should work fine though, transfers shouldn't take an eternity
Fml man I was genuinely so excited
What about ones that use wifi or cell data to transfer while in use. Does anything like that exist?
Tried Google search for such a puppy, and got thousands of hits, but im either using wrong terminology, or Google just lists bodycams of all types.
Be back in a bit. Gotta find my laptop.
Damn dude i’ve had a rough week but not comparable to that…
Sorry to hear
I don't know about bodycams, but I know of some CCTVs that transmit video over mobile data. I'm not well researched about this, sadly, so I can't provide you real advice.
It’s not just Newegg, hope that helps
nah, wegg is the only place that sells pc parts
Oh no
what is a pnp?
What the hell
I saw two pings here for me
But no mentions when i check
I might just get this prebuilt ngl…
Dude
Just wait
You Alr have a pc
Keep in mind a better cpu isn’t gonna help you much
A better gpu is tho…
I dont wanna pay 1.5k for a 5080 man…

Man that sucks. I feel sorry for you bro. It's weird because I typically never have an issue
That was genuinely probably my last chance to get a gpu…
You still have a GPU, right?
Man rip
Also i’ve stopped receiving notifs for msrp 5080 restocks… cept at best buy… where u genuinely cannot beat bots
Have you thought about getting a 5070 Ti? You might want to try before they're fully out of stock
And OC it if you want
There are none 
That was what i wanted
Initially
Man this is the worst I’ve ever seen the tech market
This is ridiculous for a 5070ti
I should have just started my build with a 4080 super man…
They were just above msrp too at microshitter when i was building my pc

…
Even this is starting to look like a good deal rn
Have you thought about financing (with Affirm, etc.)?
Why did some depraved rat whose parents didn’t raise and educate them properly had to eye my goddamn gpu to steal 
I would rather just use a credit card with intro 0% apr man
I think Amazon lets you do that, but we know how that went
Def some worker whose parents didn’t fed and educate them properly and raised them to be a goddamn rat stole my 5080…
I will not trust amazon on pc parts at all now
Their workers are too damn unreliable
a 4070 super
yo we get it they werent raised properly
did amazon cancel your order or what
https://www.ebay.com/itm/136963327605 this ones actually decent
or could offer lower on this https://www.ebay.com/itm/336393185357
What the hell card is that that looks like its 4 slots 
its a lenovo
it actually looks good dw
I would rather not go used…
Especially at those prices
@craggy shoal i reserved an asus prime 5070ti i saw come back in stock at micro wondering if i should just go with this
amazon thinks they're funny tbh
the indian call center they use for customer service is trained to basically give everyone the same answer. And they bold face lie to people all the time.
So even the customer service is unreliable…
Great
So lesson learned not to order expensive stuff from amazon
at least not stuff that is hard to come by otherwise, amazon is not gonna be the answer

well, could you cancel your reservation if your 5080 actually comes?
It wont come, its “lost” and they cancelled the order and refunded me
Guys how stupid would i be to get this…
yes
People laughed at me when I bought a 5090 over a year ago. It's not so stupid anymore
Treat yo self
bought? highly doubt it
more like won it
Before the upcoming hardwaremagedon
I never win 
at some point id like to get a new gpu so id be able to actually pair it with the asus 540hz monitor cause 3080 wont be pushing 540 fps in a lot of the titles i play other than minecraft 
maybe val
cs still needs some optimizing
theo_lost
I might need to get a new case if i get that lc gpu…
@opaque sedge how's the 5080 going
order lost and cancelled
L scamazon
flippin stupid
Tsk
At least he got his money back
…
Cant get a 5080 at msrp tho
I’m tempted to go to micro and get this…
They increased the tuf from 1400 to 1600
i wouldn't get any of these TBH
You won't like my suggestion. It's off the table.
Yeah no to used
I stopped getting restock notifications for msrp 5080s too… cept at best buy… what an ironic name
The NgreedAi program to get a GPU sucks, there's nothing at MSRP, and trusting used GPUs is a problem..
its coming to my house this week right? 

sell my cs2 inventory for a new gpu and that monitor
Theo_buys
For a reason price right? Right?
actually the 5070 fe is at msrp in stock on the website
200 bucks
chat, the price of a pokemon card i have has gone up, do i sell the card for a new monitor and gpu?
Just sell. That's a lot of money
best buy prebuilts are so cooked every single prebuilt at my bestbuy (cost around 1500 to 2000) literally all have 5060ti 8gb
but what if it goes higher 
There is no if. No one knows
but what if it goes lower
It's all up to you lol
Just sell.
sell
I think this is peak

Two thousand dollars 💵💵💵
What gpu r u gonna get?
5070tis are no longer in stock for a reasonable price <850 and the 5080s are…
idk if i want to get a new gpu right now in the current market 
😔
id also need a new psu
corsair rmx850 from 2017 probably aint gonna be too happy about a new gpu 
@dusk knot funny thing is i took a look at my past orders and turns out orders set to come to my location are fulfilled at a center located in a technically bad area…
My shit was definitely stolen
I'm sorry you have to go through that.
dog you gotta chill out about this
Well assuming you're getting a refund
If you aren't getting one then it's a reasonable crashout
Ong
I am getting a refund… but I’m also not getting a 5080 at that price ever again…
I dont know what that means but the gpu was stuck in this status for two days and then cs told me its lost and cancelled and refunded me
Huh
Reasonable is an understatement
I'm so sorry 🙁
I like how working at Amazon is a sign that your parents didn't feed or educate you in Sore's mind, bet all the warehouse workers taking their bathroom breaks in their unair conditioned warehouses because it is the best paying job around'd love that 
Im sure they';re plenty air conditioned right now because its the middle of winter
Air conditioning includes heating
however many are left from the AI replacement anyway
They haven't got the AC in HVAC, you really think they'll get the HV too? 
Air conditioning implies cooling and dehumidifying
Heating is just heating
Climate control implies heating/cooling/humidity control
yeah the hvac guy doesnt include your furnance in a AC checkup
Don't need a furnace with a heat pump
Honestly most places have the heating part of HVAC, but the AC and V are rarer
Many larger buildings still use boiler systems
And alot of European houses also use boilers
Though alot of commercial buildings also may use package units on the roof
Useful for fresh air
Though if we really want to be prickly, the word air-conditioning can be bogged down to just equipped with something with the ability to control humidity, temp and air purity
Per Merriam Webster even
Though in the context of HVAC, it just basically means refrigeration
I mean, I meant it in that they don't have any HVAC. Or according to MW, no air-conditioning 
They most likely have heating, but cooling is fairly rare unless you are in a walk in cooler or the offices
Warehouses typically have ductless gas heating to keep the warehouse bearably warm (and not freeze the products)
Sometimes they have cooling even but it only turns on to keep the products within the ideal temperature range (typically like within 0c to 30c)
Idk what the temp setpoint is for warehouses typically are but it's probably around 10c, so like sweater temps
I mean, it depends on the warehouse. A lot of them a barebones and cheap as heck, because they are just there to contract out and extract the most money from each contract. Which is why unventilated and baking hot warehouses became an Amazon thing
Hot af warehouses are honestly the only time you're suffering tbh
Even if the warehouse was in the negatives, it's perfectly bearable because you're not standing still
Hell, you may even still be working up a sweat
Yeah, maybe bearable for the first couple minutes, but even being active in below freezing temps will still cause a lot of problems and will be uncomfortable
The heating and possibly cooling of a warehouse definitely depends on what products are being stored in them though
It depends on who the owner of the warehouse is
I've worked in the freezer box in a warehouse, it's fine as long as you layer up and take things off/put things on/unzip/zip depending on how hot or cold you are from what you are doing
And I was born and raised in a part of the US that was almost always below freezing in the winter, layering up can only do so much at certain temps even if you are active
There is a difference with outdoor cold and indoor cold though
There is the addition of windchill outdoors
Indoors there's just a light circulation of the cooler fans, plus a little wind from riding the pallet jack or forklift
A windless, below freezing day is just as bad if you are out there long enough
You radiate your heat and you do it long enough you'll have a deep chill going to your bones
It's nowhere near as bad as the heat
And typically your shift only lasts for 8 hours for larger warehouses with multiple shifts
I worked at a smaller warehouse so we had like 10 hour shifts but the larger ones typically just have you work 8 hours then the next shift comes in
Do it
And unless your warehouse is storing something like stones or steel or whatever, Amazon is going to keep their warehouse above freezing to prevent their liquid products from freezing
So it wouldn't even be in the negatives
Amazon contracts out for their warehouses a lot of the time.
They have no control over those warehouses
So again, it'll be up to the owner of those warehouses
Let's not trash talk other brands here like that. I know you're frustrated and I'm sorry this happened to you.
Newegg succ

Amazon themselves have certain rules regarding heating and cooling. Doesn't mean Joe's Budget Warehouse and Storage Co. is going to follow them
I PREORDERED A MONITOR LAST NIGT AND IT ISNT HERE YET

Asides from products freezing, pipes also will freeze
They literally need to keep the building above a certain temp to keep their building functional
Anyways, I have to get ready for work
have a good time at work!
also if a business partner for Amazon causes too much trouble they won't be doing business with Amazon for very long
Imagine something like they see a surge of complaints, but its all on stuff that came from one location...
bought some motherboard beep speaker just because I havent heard that noise in forever and it was cheap
@opaque sedge thought this was your case for a moment
already verified that AM5 board has a header for it too
solution is to not buy nvidia cards... constantly seeing stories similar to this
people be buying items in haste without seeing who's the seller listing them
again, I don't understand buying gpus from amazon of all places
oh yeah, you best verify the seller before buying anything on there
otherwise, you are taking a gamble
maybe they like the risks lol
I prefer not making my life any harder than it needs to be
especially when there is no gain to it
@grand wasp I wanted to ask how your sales plans are going to reflect the recent price hikes in the gaming pc scene, and maintain a positive relationship with PC gamers that just want to try to affordably build a decent system.
I'll add that to the question list
Then just wait
You don't even need a 5080
@opaque sedge if you truly want a new gpu, https://www.ebay.com/itm/177772023084
Cheap used xtx
VRAM will help a lot
A LOT cheaper than 5080, super super close in performance, prolly better for you since resolution
also if you use Linux, it will probably work better than a 5080 lol
That too
then again, even on Windows lately I have had less issues with Radeon drivers than my laptop's RTX 4060M

Do you guys remember that post about all the nvidia bs from last year? It was a list of all the bad things that happened post release
Related to blackwell launch
We need a list like that but for microsoft 2025
Bypassnro patch, safe mode not working, localhost broke, start menu broke, file explorer pooped, task manager instances duplicating, constant bitlocker prompts, forgot what else
Microslop needs slopholders to slop their slop
An update also nuked nvidia driver performance
I also had updates remove adrenalin too
Microslop windows
Rah
Lmfao the inspection computer at my work routinely crashes every few hours and asks for bitlocker
Some folks are really mad that they are unable to order this one
I personally don't see why not get something like a g60sf instead
what were you going to do with a broken 4070
Display
cool
I personally don't see why not get something like a g60sf instead
I’m pretty sure he has worse in his collection, that one was one of the tamer ones he has
not much worse
It is a company server after all
Gotta protect the public image
ye
most of us in here would be muted in some other servers if we posted the same way
so no I would not call it particularly strict
lmao
I mean we do allow certain curses now for some reason 
man i love political shows
Also it has been banished
not irl politics they suck
does the night agent count

Oh did someone get guns working properly in Skyrim?
I remember they were doing muskets using crossbow animations like, 10 years ago
YouTube ads are abhorrent when you don’t have any type of personalization on
I never click any ads, or go offsite with links
It’s nothing but gatcha game app ads, ai mobile game ads, and ads that should be on a nsfw site
Is this a nude ad what the hell man
This is why I don’t understand people who pay for YT Premium when they should be installing an adblocker for free
No, it’s the picture in the left corner
Youtube has had NSFW and borderline NSFW ads for years now
This is what happens when you don’t let any bit of personalization on your YouTube:)
ads go completely to shit
Why pay YouTube for a solution to a problem they refuse to fix
Why pay Youtube for a solution to a problem they caused
exactly
Why pay YouTube
Why pay🏴☠️
If it’s not nsfw ads, it’s shitty “here’s a home improvement or furniture ad with swiping transitions”
bro this is so true
Why 🗿
glad I got one for my PS5 before this goofy crap started

Smasnug strikes again
Next gen of phones gonna cost $5k for the FE version
$200 cheaper on Newegg ironically
Heck the heatsink one is cheaper
I probably should take out time to watch Kpop demon hunters
Peak durga
Well that drive was always overpriced anyway, so overpriced x2 is of course going to be a lot
Good thing I have no more m.2 slots. This is murder
What's next, they take all the major components on motherboards????
Me who paid $284 for 4tb

i mean
it was bad ish back then
but great now
Tsk
You know, I just rembered my faulty SN550s are probably still under warranty 
I wonder where I put them
Wait, no nevermind, the warranties are expired
@opaque sedge
Fe in stock
@opaque sedge
@opaque sedge
Wake up
15 minute wait
MVP
100%
Aight on my way to get a fedex job
To make sure no one steals it? Damn thanks man
Congratulations! (tentative)
I assume you were already in line before I told you? lol
Yeah i just game back home and someone else in another server pinged me saying “go get ur msrp 5080” i was like what?! Checked the other messages and immediately hopped on
I’m gonna get some sleep now…

I legit bawled my eyes out today morning
Theo_Doesn't_Buy finally?
Theo_Scalps
I'm not buying any PC components for the forseeable future.
Give it to fingertips
already got one
Theo’s_got_a_bald_scalp
I don’t think he needs 2
@opaque sedge this guy has Zero 5080s
Sorry not sorry bald gentlemen u gotta take one for the team

He got scammed. He has none
But I will be solvent soon so maybe I can buy stuff again 
Buy an oled
@dusk knot
Trust
Finally acquire my beloved 1896/11
Is that a car?
What
Gun
Comically large straight pull bolt action from Switzerland
Oh
Wait.....
Damn
What now bruh 😭
GIVE HIM THE 5080! THE MAN IS DYING
51 inches of Swiss mandatory training and marksmanship
I was also looking at a US Krag last night but that is twice the price on a good day
Is JP ok?
JP was replaced with AI

Sorry guys. I'm not focusing rn....let me get up to speed here
Well gee.... congratulations
The tax looks weird on my end its supposed to be 6% so it should be 1059.94

We're now 5080 FE bros now
Unenthusiastic ass response…
😂
Wow. Good job?
Now you can relax
Is the trio better than the fe?
Isn’t the trio an objectively better cooler tho?
I have no idea
Yes but the fe looks cooler

That doesn't really matter anymore
It ain't 20 series
Was 20 series really that bad thermally?
Nah, that was just the last one that didn't have the blow through section
The only issue I have with the fe cards is the easily breakable pcie board
Just don't break it
I hear they supply that now tho
(:
Horizontal only card
I heard some 12vhpwr connecters dont fit in the fe
Hope i dont have to get a new psu…
It can work vertically
Cuz i’ve been wanting a lancool 207 for a while now
Nvidia doesn’t give you a gpu stand right?
No
That gpu will sag given enough time
Sage
Go sit in the corner
Slight sag in inevitable
Don't forget to add to the bad joke corner tally
I've got it up to 580

Very slight...
From everyone in this server combined right?
Hey at least the fe cards cannot get core deballing
From me 
THATS ALMOST 15 degrees bruh
Since the pcie is on a completely separate board
Eh
Not 15 lmao
So u made that many bad jokes?
The amount of jokes I put out that nobody gets or likes grows by the day
That's like ....2-5 degrees
I dunno. Maybe more, maybe less
Darkness
A two slot card should not sag that much
More like 2 degrees..no big deal. 5 is worse lol
Suddenly i appreciate my windforce 4070super’s underwhelming design
show
Msi shadow?
Do they look as garbage as the new quarters?
Click the link
Eh

It aint available at that price
That doesn't look too bad
PNY ugly
Why are pny cards so ugly
It looks generic to me man idk
The pictures do the pny cards dirty, vids are a much better representation of how they look
The reason they looks ugly at a glance is because they use slightly smaller fans compared to other aibs
And the ends of the heatpipes being exposed
But even high end msi models do that
I don't think it looks particularly ugly tho
How much did you pay for the Miku edtion?
1900 hundies

What zotac 5090s were going for right before rammagedon btw @dusk knot
The msi one was $1440
At microcenter atleast
So for $200 more for a miku doesn’t seem that bad
smh
Especially for an Astral
@opaque sedge oops looks like you missed one again lmao
I see a lot of broken 5070 zotrac cards
He already bought it
He got one
oh really? gah damn
nevermind then
FUUU U GUYS RUINED THE GIF
He just scored one
You're welcome
you got a founder's?
Amazon will find a way to lose it
Yeah
cool
I know they have nothing to do with fedex but they will find a way
Still need to receive it before celebrating tho…
founders are (arguably) the best looking models
Seems Nvidia can be good sometimes
miku 5080
Cuz fedex is the one shipping it
They too cheap to use ups…
Good my ass
mid
FedEx will ship it. Don't worry about it. I got mine in one piece 
they actually have a 5070 FE in stock right now lol
They have had it for weeks
at least, it shows up on the marketplace
5080 gang
Nobody seems to want a 5070 fe lol
Why didn’t they make a 5070ti fe

I hear the temps on it are pretty bad
How bad?
Because one of the fans is fake
Well at least one isn’t pass through
So it is a normal FE card 
LET DEEZ NUTS PASS THROUGH YALLS MOUTHS
There is no peace
Probably doesn’t matter anyways
That's at full load yeah? That is fine then
Partner cards actually will be worth something, but probably not what they are upcharging for them 
If the miku card is anything like the evangelion one
It might be worth something
Or lose all its value
One of the two
Yeah no way a tuf card is worth a 60% upcharge for having slightly more metal fins
I mean it’s pretty good for a 2 slot
Hotspot is probably like 90c at least
Is it quiet
If it is quiet then that isn’t so bad
It’s a tiny 2 slot
I can’t really say much listening though a YouTube video
Fe cards are good display gpus
Thing is so small in systems that it looks kinda weird to me
Depending on what it is in
Anymore 5080 get out there?
From microcenter
Wait thats an old pic
I do like that the dhahab is the same as the astral
if i was paying that much for stuff IM GETTING THAT GOLDEN GPU
TERRIBLE PRICING
Yes
just for looks??? and a few lesser degrees?
That much extra?
I paid $400 for my b580 even though it kinda paid itself off in overclocking
depends
My mutual fund shares are taking so much time to be sold 
O
Probably going to have to wait 'till 8pm for it to be processed
motherboard beepers I ordered have shipped and should be with me tomorrow
gonna start doing funny things with them, such as R2D2 noises and Bad Apple
you should also see if you can change the logo that shows up when you start your PC to a fumo or something
extra funny
I already did that once. Unfortunately it didn't stick though
Well, I could use HackBGRT but I do not feel like dealing with the possibility of an unbootable system rn
It was worth it bro
The absolute bougeest best looking b580 available
and with the wildest overclocking potential
3.5ghz on the stock cooler is already insane
Imagine if a company sponsored me to get liquid nitrogen or dry ice cooling
Bougeest
Made a post on hws

Newegg has possibly the worst customer service i have ever seen
You take bougie and slap st onto it
how so
I tried ordering a pc last week, they cancelled my order and suspended my account without telling me then when i called customer service the lady hung up on me and i tried the form that says they will get back to me in 1-2 business days and its been 5 business days and ive heard nothing
Thanks
quite the bomb to drop here
message @digital thunder about it
I ended up just going with another company cause newegg sucks ngl
Message @digital thunder with questions
Ive tried
what they say
The customer service wont get back to me
neweggservice didnt respond?
I can try again and see if they respond but atp im done
just remember theres an entire country and more of customers
what problem did you have to have the need to contact support?
they literally just said why in the earlier message
frik i didnt see
ohh i remember this from you from a few days ago
newegg whats going on
Yeah ive still been waiting
I had to chargeback from my credit card company after i found out my order got cancelled and support wouldnt do anything
does not sound right at all
At least you got your money back
Yeah
It really doesn’t, very out of the ordinary
ive returned very few things from newegg but when i do assistance is always instant
Interesting
I don’t order from newegg often
Actually kind of rare
But the times I have used newegg, I had no problems
In fact, I got a partial refund from the cpu I ordered because they raised the price when I ordered it
Oh
Yeah i dont even care about buying a pc from them anymore i just want my account un suspended so i can order parts in the future but it doesnt look like i will
I don't always buy computer components, but when I do, I prefer Newegg. Or just whatever is cheapest I don't really care much ngl
Stay gaming my friends
i too have never had any issues with newegg
in fact, pretty much every time i ordered, my package arrived before the estimate by 1-2 days
though that isnt really newegg that make it that much faster, just fedex or whoever was shipping was strangely fast
I typically look at either newegg, b&h or microcenter if im shopping for pc stuff
newegg rarely has the cheapest option honestly
just around par
amazon is like my absolute last choice lmao. have had too many incidents and heard too many horror stories from them
I don't really do B&H much. I've bought one thing from them
amazon also rarely ever has anything cheapest
But it was a gpu so 
though amazon is consistently cheaper than the big box stores for certain things like household chemicals
so i actually use amazon a fair bit to get those kinds of things lmao
i shop b&h too much, probably cuz im a photographer but i am also in ny so shipping is typically just a day
I mostly just buy food from Amazon tbh
Because I live in a one grocery store town so they have a price monopoly
oh yeah chips are also usually slightly cheaper on amazon, though when the stores get a sale it's usually cheaper
i also dont get chips often
Contact @digital thunder
Chances are, auto-fraud prevention triggered(it has a habit of that lately).
Amazon isnt really to cheap for pc parts but its so easy to return if something is damaged and quick shipping is good
I could go to a nearby town to get food cheaper, but that is about 30 miles round trip and I ain't doing that whenever I just want something to eat
but basically amazon is the "oh shit i need something for a project asap and i don't care about it not being the cheapest option" or the random household chemicals or snacks store for me
aliexpress is my general electronics store, pc parts i dont really buy often but usually canada's computers has it cheaper when they have a sale
It depends. Amazon has shit gpu prices tbh
and i use long-maquade for audio stuff
my issue with amazon is their shipping is rarely ever as advertised even with prime and they seem to have a habit of selling used items as new, even from first party
Cpu prices are good on amazon, sometimes the cheapest
i've personally havent encountered any used items sold as new
My issue with Amazon is Amazon 
well yeah there is that too
Yeah I ordered the silverstone air slimmer which is an expensive fan
One was clicking/humming and the other had the back sticker partially peeled
And had some dust on it
lol
there may be a difference with canadian amazon since i don't really hear much about people getting used stuff sold as new here than i do from across the border
was excited to get my pulsar xlite v3 es, just to open the box of a supposedly brand new product, just to have a wired dell office mouse thats older than me in it
I am trying to rely on them less
amazon moment
but it also could just be because there's way more americans than canadians
ethernet cables i buy from infinitecables
yeah idk what it is but they seem to be having a lot more issues lately with either stolen or repackaged items
their office is fairly close by
Hard times make for sticky fingers
they sent another one, but i wish i got some type of monetary compensation
like a gift card
but ik they wont
And the times do be getting harder
true
i got a 25cad gift card because i complained to them that my item went on a bigger sale after i bought it
the sale was only like 7 dollars more than the price i bought it for
hm.

to be fair i did also say that if they didn't give me the difference in money i would return the item and buy it again for the discounted price
idk if they even looked at the price difference
100 ft cat 6 for $20
it doesnt matter to me though since i got extra $$
just give me braided
infinitecables
about 23usd, and has a lifetime warranty from a reputable cable supplier
they also sell reels
(187 USD)
19usd/100ft
very nice
honestly this isnt really where the savings are, it's when you need a shitload of small cables
instead of busting your fingers making patch cables to go from a patch panel to a switch, you could spend 45 bucks on 20 very flexible patch cables
flat cable can be really nice if you're doing runs along walls/doorframes/etc
I have a funny run where the flat cable is stuck to the wall with mounting putty

goes up about 15ft from the main floor into a loft and then over a doorframe before down to my pc
looks fairly clean too tbh

I am thinking I might need flat

i like round since i am more confident in it not getting crosstalk in any situation but for cable routing, flat may be easier
maybe modern designs are fine
oh I forgot he mentioned egoist, I love that band
them and Mili, prob some of my favorite jp bands that do a lot of anime work
Yes 😭
Star wars episode one
I never even realized 
😭
idk
I can't believe he's gone
i have a very specific music taste
same, personally I'm really not a fan of... well, what most people listen to. most of the time im listening to soundtracks not much with lyrics
Video game soundtracks are music too right?
oh that reminds me I love some of the expedition 33 soundtrack
my only problem with it is that it's too long
Is a flat better for this? I feel like it would be. I can either have it hide under that hand rail and then go either up to the ceiling or if I can somehow get it to be snug in the carpet since the carpet is actually pretty tall. Or I can route it on the other side, on the second picture, and cross the bottom of the last stair and go from there
Kinda tricky
hard to say from just pictures but flat will probably be better
could always get both from amazon and return one

lol
who knew trying to sell unsustainable business would result in this?
Sam said a while ago when openai starts putting ads in, it is the end of openai
And guess what

ads won't save openai
I can upgrade my ram soon
Bro people gonna paste them into their school essays, like when the llm just makes a small mention somewhere in the essay and the npc doesn’t catch it

but openai is dying anyway
it's gonna collapse
no matter what nvidia might try
i'm afraid prices will remain elevated no matter what tho
see how every companies used 2020 as an excuse
well I don't know a whole lot of people besides students really use ai chatbots much. and those students aren't gonna be spending the premium subscriptions
Nah it’s sustainable he just needs a couple more billion
Trust me he knows what he’s doing
Give him all your money
not a couple more
hundreds of billions
or trillions per year to keep the company alive
The issue is the mindshare openai is banking on
So much brainrot has rotted
Not sure if people will be able to reverse that
those ai bros refuse to pay a cent though
that's the thing
they want to do everything for free
no, let the ai do everything for them for free

their usual counter against artists hating on ai is cost and access related
"but it makes 'art' more accessible and i won't need to pay a dime to make it look as good as yours!"
or better, and quickly
little did they know, is that someone has to foot the bill somehow
it's everyone
not just openai alone
artists charge big bucks for "When I get to it, Im in a depression phase rn"
Paypal 20% cash back
tbh i hate it when artists take money and run off with it for months and come back later to spit out something
so i try to find ones that are willing and able to actually work for their money's worth
i get that humans have moods and all, but why take work when you can't work?
Msrp steel legend, 583 after tax, 20% back was around 466 or so

well, life sure is strange

life isn't strange enough so they gotta make it stranger by re-releasing
I liked the first one for how bad the writing was
I have not played any other game

"high end"
That monitor tho
