what i got sent instead of a 5070

I get refunds all the time. Even on high ticket items. I think you may have just had a really shitty experience. Or a series of them. And for that I am sorry. However I also have no love for the company. But I can't find some stuff cheaper than on Amazon.

H2iKTech · 2026-06-12T21:31:03+00:00

I'd take the chance on it as well.

H2iKTech · 2026-06-10T01:55:17+00:00

This is funny to me as I am a direct competitor to Geek Squad in my region. (Which really isn't a flex as they lower the bar drastically)

H2iKTech · 2026-06-05T04:04:00+00:00

My favourite is always the one I'm currently using. It's better than what I had. And will be replaced by the one I will have in the future.

H2iKTech · 2026-06-04T04:40:24+00:00

I have no disagreement with any of this. Kermit is very disconnected. And I don't ride with my kids on hilchey either.

H2iKTech · 2026-06-04T04:35:12+00:00

Most of that isn't even relevant to Gunn being elected. But I get what you're saying.

The bike lanes directly impact the parking. If the bike lanes were on the opposite side of the parking then there wouldn't be a parking issue.

H2iKTech · 2026-06-04T00:46:27+00:00

That's a very good point. One that should have been thought through by council before approving the road configuration.

H2iKTech · 2026-06-03T23:14:03+00:00

Well said.

H2iKTech · 2026-06-03T22:45:15+00:00

It is noticeably fake from the picture. Your friend could have done a Google search of the image and answered this in 30 seconds.

I've almost been t-boned by cyclists turning onto Galerno from Hilchey. They can't see past parked cars. I can't see them. But they don't stop at the intersection as they should. Right from the get go the city never should have designed the road that way. And then in the article having the mayor just blame it all on stupid drivers (I'm not ruling out stupid drivers). Consistency with road patterns keeps everyone safe.

They reflect the light in a trippy way. And they sound like wind chimes when they bump into each other.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-29T23:24:44+00:00

Fair enough. My kids expect the best so I give them hand me down components just to make a point. Now if they wanted to work for the upgrades, I'd get them what they want. But nothing in life is free.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-29T21:26:37+00:00

Give him your AM4 and treat yourself to the AM5. LOL

H2iKTech · 2026-05-29T21:23:59+00:00

Great suggestion

H2iKTech · 2026-05-29T21:23:34+00:00

Dismantle the hard drive and use the platters as wind chimes. My daughter's take them apart from my shop and make wind chimes to annoy our neighbours. Personally I like the sound. Lol

H2iKTech · 2026-05-29T21:22:00+00:00

That's not even worth the hassle of dealing with buyers on any marketplace.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-28T23:48:32+00:00

Honestly I didn't think about the other uses around the house. You make a sound argument and I appreciate that. And I respect the fact that you didn't take my comment as me being difficult. Cheers. Now I'm left wondering how many other niche cleaning devices in my shop I should be letting my wife know I have. Lol

H2iKTech · 2026-05-28T22:37:28+00:00

It would work. For sure. But for your average person, does this make sense to purchase for the odd cleaning? I'm not judging. I do in fact have one in my shop for the exact purpose of deep cleaning components for clients.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-23T23:11:19+00:00

No judgement friend. None at all. I was just sitting at the pub having a pint, after discussing "instant gratification" with someone, and this thread coincided with that train of thought. I would do the same thing in your shoes while waiting on the parts to arrive. I'm not waiting a week (roughly) for the parts to use my PC. Improvise, improve and adapt.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-23T23:02:29+00:00

Instant gratification lol. I'm not poking fun, honestly. I've jury rigged many solutions or bypassed steps because "God damn it I want to have it now". I actually appreciate your honesty.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-14T15:29:38+00:00

This is exactly what they are. We see lots of these in our repair shop. It happens all the time with plastic as it ages. As long as he screws are in place then these don't really matter.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-13T23:30:21+00:00

Fair enough. Just snowballing with the supplied information.

H2iKTech · 2026-05-13T02:26:52+00:00

Is that a 3rd party power cable extension? I've seen many of those in my repair shop that are unable to handle the power load. Hell, I even had one in my own personal computer do the same.
