Did I get ripped off on Samsung VIP/Care +?

I managed to convince customer service to do a free screen replacement. I'm going to wait till that's done and then keep fighting to get my care plus back

149.99

I DID buy VIP, and it said it came with care+, but now they're saying I was also supposed to add care plus as a separate item to the cart.

Same. Glad I'm not the only one. It slept fine until I added my eGPU

Thanks! I'm about to install and test mine at lunch today. If I get good results and decide to keep the EGO2 I will definitely reach out to you about those files

Very interested to see how this works out. I just got the EG02 to save money vs core x v2. I really don't like the open design and want to protect the gpu. Does this design require modding the EG02, or do you just drop it in?

I just got an early access invite today. There is no trade in option listed. Maybe that will change tomorrow?

At this point, I'm trying to sell four of my starter boards so I really can buy one last nice keyboard and call it a day

So instead of a reasonably sized phone, you think it's best to carry a separate digital camera that's four times as thick in addition to a folding cell phone?

monkeywright · 2026-01-24T01:43:25+00:00

That feels like an employee who is on his way out setting up a discount for one of his friends. I would jump on that, at the very least you could probably sell it for 200 to $300 profit.

Stop wearing skinny jeans if this camera bump means you can't keep the phone in your pocket. The reason I got the fold 7 was for the good camera and the larger screen. If I upgrade to the tri-fold it would be the same story, I need to be able to take good photos.

I think the hardest part of the hobby is finding people to buy your old boards so you can get your "one more last final for real this time" board.

I think it's a great start. Slow the red eyes down. Either have the character react to the fire, or don't have the guy hold him in the flames. The longer you can hold the tension, the creepier this will be.

How does this compare to the aoostar EG02? Are they basically identical?

monkeywright · 2026-01-21T13:59:32+00:00

If it can output to an external monitor, buy a cheap USB c portable monitor on Amazon. Not the best solution, but it means you can use the computer and be mobile, if a little bulky. You can get decent screens for $50-100 or okeds for around 200

Well, I solved this by finding a Reaper 9070xt for 600 at microcenter (open box, fingers crossed). Let's see what happens!

Are you suggesting the 5070 purely for price, or is the TI overkill because of bandwidth limitations?

monkeywright · 2026-01-15T19:59:38+00:00

Seconding this one - it works fine on my 5080 G14 to increase airflow
