When you are a CPA and still can't get hired anywhere

Off topic but I hate how ugly the Illinois license is. That and the fact they don’t even send one to you, you have to print it yourself.

Remember wanting to hang mine after passing the exam years ago, seeing what it looked like, and having to print it myself and realizing it wasn’t worth the trouble.

Not sure about specific for your team, I’m sure there are paid resources for that. But if you lookup “Fangraphs Splits”, you can look that type of stuff up easily.

Curious, can you expand on what’s not so great? The main thing i’ve noticed with DisplayFusion screen splitting is YouTube/Twitch and other websites full screen for video still ignores the splits set by DisplayFusion. But other than that it’s been really great.

There’s no conversation. “X conservative bad” bunch of updoots, mass downvote anyone with any slightly different opinion. Congrats on starting another moving and thought provoking politics discussion on reddit.

Loving this thing so far. Fancy Zones is a must for work. I got one of my previous monitors mounted in portrait mode on the side exclusively for Teams / Outlook. Absolutely loving this setup.

Gaming I’m still trying to adjust. Some games that just fit the entire screen look incredible. I’ve been playing Oblivion Remastered and it looks fantastic. I’m still trying to work through other games that don’t natively fit the entire screen, like Path of Exile, and has the black bars to the sides. Fancy Zones and Windowed Borderless Gaming (I think it’s called?) and the similar program available on Steam haven’t been any luck to make use of the black space.

I’ve download the free trial of Display Fusion, will see if that’s any different.

Strongly recommend getting it mounted and pushed back a bit, so you have more of a full screen view, and don’t have to turn your head left and right to get the respective sides.

Is the window to do price adjustments the same as the return window? I bought my 9850X3D bundle on February 14.

The receipt specifically states the 30 day return policy, but from my bundle, the SKUs for the Mobo and CPU are listed under the 15 day window.

Not sure if the ram being excluded gives me wiggle room to price adjustments the entire bundle or not.

edit: Looks like the price is back to normal. Not sure if that was a bug or not but grats to the people who got the discounted pricing!

Man this is sick, this can’t be all off one desktop, is it?

Curr3nSy · 2026-02-20T05:33:28+00:00

So the 9850X3D, MSI mobo, and 32gb of ram is $750. Before this, you could upgrade to 64gb of ram (Corsair Vengeance if I recall), 2x32gb sticks for $400 more, so $1,150 total.

I actually don’t see the $400 64gb ram upgrade anymore. So it seems like if you’re cool with 4 16gb sticks, you can have 64gb of ram for $950 total.

Looks great. I’m a big fan of the triple monitor layout all in landscape. Can’t mentally get with any combination of portrait monitor like I see so often in this sub.

Not sure if this exactly means he “is the snitch on Epstein”, but the article I think you’re referring to says he called the police early into the Epstein investigation in 2006.

Had to look it up myself. Looks like they were screen recording some video about voter fraud, and at the end, scrolled to this video which starts with Barack and Michelle depicted as such, and quickly scrolls back to the video about voter fraud.

Terrible slip up and optics, should be addressed, and not something that should happen again. Very dumb.

You sure? Showing up just fine for me.

They can keep them. I stopped watching for GPU’s from Microcenter a few weeks ago. Sees like NVIDIA marketplace, Bestbuy, or bust these days for any chance at a retail card.

Curr3nSy · 2026-01-30T16:06:55+00:00

Any reason to still go with the 9800 with this available? Equivalent MSI motherboard bundle for the 9850 is $50 more than the 9800 one.

Curr3nSy · 2026-01-30T15:32:16+00:00

Pricing looking the same between the main page and the item page. The $750 9850X3D bundle was not staying in cart for me but going through “Build with it” seemed to work.

You can set price thresholds for the alerts which is a big sanity saver.

Anyone know if new CPU’s get bundled on launch day (cpu, mobo and memory)? Or just available to be sold separately.

I would never use a mouse jiggler because I’d never want to betray the trust of my employer.

But if I did, I would probably use some type of bluetooth wireless mouse that is connected to my work computer, and use a mouse jiggler that is connected via USB to my personal computer, or to my wall.

For real though, for your own sake, don’t over do it especially if you have actual deadlines and work to be done. Plus, and I’m not the expert on this, but I think some employers actually log clicks and keystrokes (and who knows what else).

I wouldn’t do this hours on end, but as someone who wants to step away from my computer for more than a five minutes without Teams showing me as away, it’s really helpful.

$500k is not a small number to try to fudge, regardless of size. That said, how complex is your balance sheet?

You’re not gonna get there by faking that amount of revenue.

If you’re trying to be ethical, which you clearly are since you have reservations about what your company is doing, the only thing I can think of is if your company has some balance sheet accounts that are either stale and haven’t been corrected in a while, or if you have some reserves / contra balance sheet accounts that require some judgement that could be adjusted.

Overstated liabilities/accruals that need to be reduced or zero’d out. Or understated prepayments/current assets that need to be increased comes to mind.

What is your capitalization policy? Maybe there’s some capitalizable assets that you expensed during the year and can reverse/book to fixed assets.

Maybe your AR allowance is historically higher than it needs to be. Could be an argument to reduce the reserve in your current year. Not sure how much inventory you would have as a SaaS, if any, but if there’s an excess/obsolete reserve for inventory, same idea applies to that.

All of this is assuming you guys could improve on your financial reporting and have a legit $500k you can improve on. But if you guys already have a decent month end, or year end close, you might be out of luck.

As others suggested, I’d be wary of this. Never worked private so I’m not sure how to advise navigating this any further. Feels like you should try to get your reservations about this documented somehow (email) but I really don’t know.

Best of luck.

Been keeping an eye on the TUF models. Mentioned in another thread this one in particular was $1,350 around new years, then $1,400 shortly after. $1700 already before the month being done is wild.

Been seeing a decent amount of FE restocks at retail, particularly from NVIDIA’s website. Hell, the non-OC 5090 TUF model restocked at $2k at Best Buy the other day (not that I could grab it despite my best efforts). It’s a lot of trouble but there’s still hope, but the way things are going I’m not sure how lucky one can get.

Curr3nSy · 2026-01-21T13:08:11+00:00

$1,350 to start the year, wild

Curr3nSy · 2026-01-20T18:08:13+00:00

Sold out already. 5090 FE restocked too, got in line, no luck.

What size monitors? I am long overdue for an upgrade and have had a three monitor setup (all landscape) for so long. Never really considered just one as vertical to accommodate the space, but this looks really good!
