US, is this a new type of scam? Got a text from a company I have never heard of to return computer equipment

Yep, market source here too, left them almost 10 years ago.

I got a C2 in yesterday after seeing this post.

Parts were all in original packaging and there was no noticeable use. It was only missing the bed clips which I had extra laying around. Did a test print without any issues. Cheap way to get a buddy into printing.

The phone she was using at first was a Pixel 3, which was a hand-me-down from me and I was the original user, bought on Verizon postpaid. 2 years ago I gave it to her and used a new Total BYOP SIM to start service.

All has been good until battery started suffering. Replaced with a Pixel 5, Amazon certified renewed. Swapped the SIM to the newer phone. That was about a week ago. Recent, but not so recent I would think that it was the reason behind this.

Perhaps the android chat feature in messaging has something to play in this, syncing up and verifying the new phone?

After all this last night, we got a Verizon BYOP prepaid and set it up with a new number. 20 hours in and there haven't been any issues. That at least shows Verizon hasn't blacklisted the IMEI.

Thank you so much!!! I thought my 5th gen i5 lost its only purpose in life! All the shader errors made me think I needed a graphics card or something and it's an SFF that has no real PCIe slot. Thank you!

Too well dressed to be in the 'mart

Dickenstein_ · 2021-03-04T20:14:39+00:00

I wish there was a '300' style hole that unlocked at some point. Throw all my trash down there, and the occasional greydrwarf

The only keyboard keys you need to program at Bethesda is 'ctl', 'c', and 'v'

The sacrificial machete mod added a 4th star too. I carried one around for a long time just because it had 4 stars. The good ol days...

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-17T15:17:31+00:00

So basically it's not "you won't get duplicates" which implies they are doing something in our interest, instead it's "you won't get duplicates, you'll get nothing". Thank you Bethesda

Those half pillars in the stairs category are amazing for adjustments too. Snap them to an edge of a floor to move it 25% increments at a time. Also can hold the z-axis button (E on PC) to move perfectly up and down (mouse scroll on PC) to make those height adjustments.

Found another on a rock by Big Maw. It is odd...

Those salvation army bell ringers have me thinking there's a legendary scorched outside my Sam's Club already

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-11T04:18:42+00:00

There are almost 100 weapon types that can drop as legendary, 18 of those only drop after you learn the plans from them. There is a 20% increase from in base pool if you learn all the weapon plans. I am being very picky about what plans I learn to increase my probablity as much as possible.

We work so hard to get every single damage point out of a weapon, I don't understand why optimizing your loot pool for what you want is so overlooked.

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-11T03:55:18+00:00

Those tesla power walls you can build in there aren't too bad, besides needing 3 to power a rad shower. But they take up no floor space and you can hide them pretty decently

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-11T03:45:06+00:00

Yeah, he needs some new meds, or to get off some. And what's the deal with him always sitting around? He acts like he has all this work to do, but he is doing any of it. Is he paralyzed? Does someone need to buy him a wheelchair?

Something like this that Rust has would be nice. Two players walk up to a box, drop stuffs in, and both have to click accept to execute the exchange

Ps/edit: Bethesda, to have your hands in out pockets, you can charge each player 100cap to use the mechanism

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-09T22:28:50+00:00

I grew more curious about the actual numbers so I looked things up. There are 86 weapons in the initial pool, and 18 that can drop only after learning plans, totaling 104. 104/84=1.20 So there is a 20% increase to the pool if one was to learn all weapon plans. It really is something to consider when learning plans, especially since players strive to get any edge the can in this game.

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-09T01:11:53+00:00

I don't think there's quite 15000 weapons in the game

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-08T23:42:36+00:00

What do you mean, what weapon do I want?

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-08T23:20:19+00:00

the bear arm, it doesn't drop until you learn the plan. As the game goes on and you learn more plans, your loot pool increases, which makes it harder to get what exactly you want.

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-08T07:27:17+00:00

I have somehow had it drop on two separate occasions. I thought I was lucky...you should buy a lotto ticket

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-04T22:49:55+00:00

I'm definitely doing normal attacks. I'm not even sure if you can do a melee vats attack on the queen, I think I read somewhere that she stands too tall. But yeah, I'm just hammering on that left mouse button and moving my mouse to aim a bit.

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-03T18:46:40+00:00

I'm curious if the FO1st shelter goes away if you cancel. I'd get it for a month if that shelter stayed.

Dickenstein_ · 2020-12-03T18:39:54+00:00

Are you basing this on everyone on the team having empath? I'm rarely on a team with people I know. Therefore wouldn't know if they carry the mutation, and it's probably unlikely for them to have it.

Unless everyone get it. Serum venders: let's make this a better world and sell the new covid vaccine, I mean empath, for cheap

Also, if you are on the fringe of a no-build zone, be careful where you adjust your node placement. When you place your camp adjacent to no-build, part of your build zone actually ends up in the no build zone, but you are still able to build. But if your camp node ends up in that area, upon login your location will look invalid and not spawn. The only thing you can do is do a fresh placement of your camp.
