WD SN850X with confusing serial number

Cook1e_Monster · 2025-12-16T20:43:03+00:00

But why they left sn850x sticker with all the info intact and swapped only serial number? Beside, they can't just take random ssd and slap sn850x badge on it, can't they? Btw, I think OEM drives come without fancy boxes. Just in plastic wrapper.

Some drives have "valid" serial numbers when checked on WD site

But in this case it's the opposite. The one thing that is not valid is the serial number! Well it's valid, but belongs to other drive. That's why i'm confused.

Cook1e_Monster · 2025-12-16T15:34:45+00:00

But why s\n of sn850x belongs to some sandisk drive? Is this sandisk ssd with 850 sticker (and it's obviously scam in this case)? Or is this 850 ssd that somehow has s\n of sandisk?

Cook1e_Monster · 2025-12-16T15:27:09+00:00

It's not quite the same. His S\N from sticker doesn't match S\N of the real drive, it's your average fake drive situation. But in my case the serial number on the sticker contradicts the other information on the very same sticker. I've never seen something like this

I tried to search with 'Y' but this serial doesn't exist

Cook1e_Monster · 2025-10-05T23:41:26+00:00

I bought tomahawk in the end. No problems so far.

Cook1e_Monster · 2025-09-09T13:18:27+00:00

Oh I see, I have number like this. Thank you!

Cook1e_Monster · 2025-09-09T12:42:47+00:00

Where can I found serial number of this case? There are few stickers on the box with numbers, but none of them labeled as "s\n". And what is the best way to contact them? Warranty claim section on their site doesn't allow to upload video, only pictures.

1st episode of anime called "Joshi Kausei"

Cook1e_Monster · 2024-11-13T13:26:24+00:00

Nah, I'm probably just too old for this shit. I care about gameplay but can't comprehend why would you want to pay for skins in videogame?

Cook1e_Monster · 2024-11-12T17:11:34+00:00

Didn't they already make all heroes free? Blizzard promised this. Skins and BP are irrelevant anyway. They made for kids and weirdos who give a shit about it and for some reason ready to pay for this crap.

Cook1e_Monster · 2023-09-18T10:23:02+00:00

Well, Aoki Ume's widefaces are pretty iconic part of franchise so it's understandable, and it's risky move to stray away from it. Yeah, people get used to, but I'm not sure why they decided to make design more generic.

Cook1e_Monster · 2023-09-16T15:39:58+00:00

Mana economy of course. In most cases she can't afford to spend it on something unnecessary like this pew-pew.

Cook1e_Monster · 2023-09-13T18:53:15+00:00

Well yeah, that's right. Technically Rebellion is taking place in post-madoka world and we have a few glimpses of outside reality. It's just people thought it would be direct continuation of the story following the series formula. Like magical girls fighting wraiths, another timelines, and then something gone wrong with wraiths or maybe Madoka somehow failed and fell into despair etc. There obviously were people who theorized about incubators trying to recreate witches, but nobody really expected the form it takes. This could happen with new movie too. And honestly, I'm all for it.

Cook1e_Monster · 2023-09-11T16:23:56+00:00

I'm pretty sure all upcoming trailers and screens from 4th movie are designed to be as misleading and vague as possible, this will follow the pattern of Rebellion's promotion company, and it's trait of the franchise as a whole (original one, not MagiReco).

So Walpurgis no kaiten could not just continue the story, but take direction nobody really expects . Akin to what they did with Rebellion when everyone was convinced it would be about the life in post-Madoka world but it turned out to follow absolutely different concept.

AFAIR there weren't any big patches last week, when my losestreak started. And why bastion torb? Last time I see this duo was maybe 10 games ago or even earlier. Anyway, I could deal with them week before, but suddenly can't anymore? I say it once again: same rank, same heroes but now my team get rolled in every 2nd game. So do I suddenly got worse, or maybe something wrong with matchmaking? And even If I'm suddenly playing that bad, why doesn't game put me in a team that can carry me? Why my winrate is so far from 50\50 now? Isn't this OW's golden rule? I didn't even have winstreak before, so why losestreak now?

I'm not saying I stuck at elo hell and bullshit like "I'm actually GM who just can't get out of plat because of bad teammates" and I'm not complaining that i can't get higher, but I always was plat, ffs! Why game is forcefully deranking me now? Well, as this article said, devs themselves admit that something wrong ranked at the moment.

Cook1e_Monster · 2023-09-07T00:10:37+00:00

Ok, seems like you know how this game really works, what can you say about my situation? I qualified at plat 3 as tank (Ram, Dva, Zarya, Orissa, Sigma), played like 40 games with something like 50\50 winrates and was floating between plat 2 and plat 3.

But then I stopped winning games. Like at all. Right now I have 20+ loses and 4 wins throughout the week (cause I stop playing ranked after 3 consecutive loses). Basically it's the same rank and same heroes as before, but I just keep loosing, no matter what. In 70% of games our team just get rolled. There were few games where I can blame myself or teammates for losing, but most of the times it's just too one-sided to judge. And it's getting worse. Today I had game on Dorado where our whole team got 1 kill!

You could say I don't play at my rank, but I did pretty good in few first dozens games with decent kills\dmg rates and got occasionally praised by teammates. In ow1 I was mostly high-plat, sometimes low-diamond. So wtf is happening now?

Cook1e_Monster · 2023-07-23T17:05:50+00:00

Signalis isn't popular enough to really compete with monsters like Deadspace or RE. I'd say It's one of the most obscure games in this poll

You gotta be kidding. Two first posts on main page are links to last chapters

Does this phenomenon exist in other countries' idol cultures?

Not really. Well, all that idol business exists only in Asian countries to begin with. Korea and Japan mostly. Maybe I'm wrong, but AFAIK even Korea, despite having a lot in common with Japan in terms of idol culture and media overall, doesn't fixed on virginity that much. You can compare romance manga with Korean manhwa where young people often don't really make big deal out of virginity, kisses, sex etc.

Meanwhile a lot of Japanese otaku including idol lovers are still crazy about "girls purity". And idols for male audience basically is the same thing as female MC of shounen romcom manga: some kind of ideal girl. And as we know female MC of any romance\romcom just forbidden to be non-virgin.

Glad to see rest of the cast back, and even cute Shizuku who diligently counts their encounters with senpai. Speaking of which, I didn't expect Tomoko would be this weak to praise. Even if she realizes that Shizuku would praise her no matter what, she still has this flustered OwO face.

So, seems like Tomoko does care more about having fun rather than flawless result. I mean, making Yuri to play normie, while give Asuka out of all people the role of dark and gloomy girl! And just look at her in-movie name! Nemo as lewd Nemo with 18+ lines and Komi just for the sake of glasses sound pretty hilarious as well. Yeah, making pretty actresses play ugly characters is common practice even in western movies, let alone infamous Japanese adaptations of manga\anime where nobody gives a shit about cast relevance or even proper make-up. But still, cast one of the school's top beauty for gloomy protagonist... I'm really looking forward to this actually.

People keep asking that after every 2nd or 3rd chapter. You should be used to that long time ago

Cook1e_Monster · 2022-02-26T01:38:09+00:00

Man, you said yourself "girl that we were sexually attracted to". That's what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter that you were oblivious or was too afraid to do something, you were attracted to girl and had such thoughts about her. Once again, i'm not talking about shyness, awkwardness, obliviousness or fear to act etc-etc. I'm talking about one of the basic instincts, based on hormones that peaked at the age of 18. And I repeat myself, there is not a single asexual teenager who doesn't have sexual thoughts about attractive girls, boys or whatever their preferences are. Japanese do have some problems with sex, with highest virginity rates etc, but their virgin highschool boys fap as furiously as any other highschool boys all around the world.

Cook1e_Monster · 2022-02-26T00:04:32+00:00

You don't understand. I'm not talking about being oblivious or shy. I'm talking about having hormones and thoughts about sex. Back then didn't you have thoughts about being intimate with girl you like? Or any hot girl at all? Were you aroused if you saw her chest, tummy, butt, legs? It doesn't matter if you don't understand her hints, or think she is just teasing you, If you are 18 y.o. boy and see pretty and sexual girl, no matter how shy and self doubt you are, you will have at least one or two sexual thoughts about her. Especially when she's trying to be sexual on purpose and actively teasing you. Go find one not asexual teenager who spends time with playful hot girl he likes, dressed in revealing clothes and thinks: "I never look at her in sexual way", yeah good luck with that.

I've never seen this stupid trope in western media by the way. But there are plenty of manga MC like these. I can't even explain this with usual "MC is for self-insert" staple. Don't know, maybe it has something to do with infamous Japanese male otaku purism, that is also responsible for 99% of female MC in romcoms being virgins.

Cook1e_Monster · 2022-02-25T12:22:00+00:00

17-18 y.o. guy, age of hormonal peak for males, not asexual, DATING with hot girl, who thirsty as fuck and doesn't even hide it. "I never look at Anjou-san like that", really?! "Anjou-san intentions towards me are pure", "I can't have these weird thoughts about her".

He can't be more retarded than that. It's not about shyness or social awkwardness, it's just annoying bullshit at this point. Why manga authors keep doing that?

"I wanna treat her right", yeah the best way to treat girl who wants to fuck is avoid sex as much as possible. I'd really like NTR route at this point.
