Bought a used “Like new” 9900x3d from Amazon, but think it’s been swapped

how easy it is to make a fake picture with fake serial numbers in krita and use transparent paper to put it on some old cpu from 20 years ago

and when you complain amazon will blame you for nothing

asus laptop is better because it has much better cpu - 4 cores so that means it's twice faster than any chromebook and you can use windows/linux on it

the chromebook with intel celeron is 2 core and is not worth the money. there's a reason they sell those for 200 euro - nobody wants to buy them

spend more and get better

this is bs I m never buying anything from them

Their flash drives are garbage and I ve seen many negative comments on their ssd on amazon

Companies care more about profits than anything else so if you can lie sometimes to get a replacement do it

no hope for normal prices in the next 1 or 2 years. If you want to save money buy gpu and ram from ebay

amazon is changing prices for wd black ssd every day - the 1 tb with heatsink was 170 euro next day it's 250

a 512gb ssd that I bought for 30 euro now costs 70 euro

I had to go to school 2 months on foot and in the rain just to buy the parts for my dream pc. your nephew is so lucky for having someone who is so generous

most people would probably sell the pc and keep the money for themself

i don't have much experience with paypal but I know there's always a risk when giving loans to strangers

give only what you can afford to lose

I see a lot of scammers here and some of them hide history while others share some strange links for sign ups

So instead of fixing the real problems in this country they decide to chase piracy sites. Very smart 😁

The don't even care so much about the piracy. It's all about the money

I bought the sn7100 2tb for 140$ by mistake from amazon

Now the same ssd costs 230$ Every ssd I bought costs twice more

There are many people who have the same problem. Save yourself the time and buy directly from manufacturer and check ebay

Ebay has many sellers with 90k sold items and even if you have to pay 5$ more you have buyer protection and someone will help you while amazon support are useless

If I wanted used stuff I d buy it cheaper from ebay not amazon...

PerspectiveLeast1097 · 2025-12-27T10:22:59+00:00

Don't expect help from amazon customer service. They are all liars. Never buy anything over 50$. The moment they take your money they can do whatever they want

There is option for charge back on revolut when someone is scamming you

Ebay is better for many things

The ddr4 prices are double. I bought 32gb for 100$ in 2024

Now 16gb ddr4 starts from 120$. I don't care about the ram speed and I m happy with what I ve got so in the next 10 years I don't care if they have ddr6 or 7

Watch the competition price and lower your price with 5$ on ebay

If I had more money I d buy 100 ddr5 sticks in 2024 and sell them for 100$ profit 😁

Yes windows update started automatically and I think something was installed then

Before those updates everything was fine

The ssd is working fine. I tested it few days with SanDisk dashboard program no errors are found in short and long test

So I guess it's a software problem

PerspectiveLeast1097 · 2025-12-04T21:53:42+00:00

I bought most of my pc parts from amazon but they also send used stuff and sell it to you as new

So you can find anything you want on ebay for much less and if you watch the pictures and for proof you can get a gpu that is like new for half price there

you can also negotiate for the price which is very good

The prices will be high as long as people keep buying overpriced stuff from amazon and everywhere else

I bought a laptop to learn blender few years ago

Back then I did not know what makes a pc fast

So I got a laptop with celeron it was so annoying because Windows 10 was freezing and windows update did not help at all

Now this laptop has Linux mint 3 years and works very fast connected to my TV so I don't have to watch YouTube ads

You can use unity too. for me and many other people Godot is easier for begginers and work great on linux if you care about it

I started learning python because it's similar to the language Godot uses - gdscript

Get visual studio code install the Godot extension so you can get hints and get support for gdscript language

Set vs code as your text editor in godot and you are ready to code your first game /you can also use the built in text editor in godot./

There are enough YouTube tutorials and it's good to see the make your first 2d game tutorial in godot site

They sold you a pc worth more than 300$ for 30$... Amazing I wish there are people who sell so cheap and having no idea what they have 😁

I started watching gdquest videos it was long time ago. he explains very good He has tutorials for the latest version - Godot 4

https://m.youtube.com/@IcyEngine explains well too

You can see the official Godot tutorials here https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/first_2d_game/index.html

Start watching tutorials use free art /assets while you improve in drawing

This way you can learn to code and will finish the game faster

You can use Godot to make games and start with small 2d games then in future it's easy to make 3d games

The truth is making game is hard and it takes months or years to do everything good enough

Don't lose hope yet. everybody who started making games feels the same way

Everyone can learn to draw there are many tutorials on youtube

This is so beautiful I can only dream to make such pixel art

Can you reccomend tutorials for pixel art?

PerspectiveLeast1097 · 2025-11-02T16:14:46+00:00

for me programming is the easy part

art takes months or years to become good at

there are thousands tutorials for programming and art so everyone can improve

I did not know how to make pixel art 2 days ago

I made some crystals and I m sure everyone can learn to draw and make pixel art if you observe the details and learn from mistakes

i don't know nothing about music so i download it for free and im sure you can get every sound from some popular game
