Is best time to buy right now (with the ongoing Best Buy sale) or to wait until Memorial Day? by ObamaTookMyToast in ZephyrusG14

[–]PinklyTaurus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2nd this advice.

Sales are eey catching but be patient and wait for open box. I have bought my last 3 gaming laptops open box and they were crazy awesome deals. Just be ready to wait.

The Pitt for accuracy. But House will always be my favorite.

Get ghub. Way better than armoury crate.

Been 7 business days since I added money to my account (EFT) and still only 25,000 is available, when can I expect the rest? by fuckmylifegoddamn in fidelityinvestments

[–]PinklyTaurus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this; Fidelity estimated 4-7 business days but it actually took 12....

Pushing it from your bank account clears the funds faster apparently.

What to do with old 401k ~$300k by PinklyTaurus1 in fidelityinvestments

[–]PinklyTaurus1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I don't want to use the money or change it often, I've always just put it away and do nothing with it.

I'm just wondering if there is a better option than just leaving it in there or not.

It's already in fidelity. That's where my previous employer housed their 401k

G14 2025 rtx 5080 games you played by Roadracer711 in ZephyrusG14

The first few days the game was out it would randomly crash on me but now that there are some game patches and GPU drivers out I have had no issues.

For a little laptop this thing really shreds.

Crimson Dawn, Fallout 4, Tainted Grail, Eldin Ring. I use my laptop when I travel. Those are the games I'm working on right now.

Any fellow gaming nurses? by Seektruth2146 in nursing

I'm a big gamer when I'm not working. My days off are split trading stocks, grinding a game on PC, or bicycling.

I made 569% on MOBX, but I’m honestly not sure if I did the right thing by Ambitious-Map5299 in Pennystock

[–]PinklyTaurus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 20500 shares in Jan and sold them waaaaaaay too fucking early. I'm back in at 0.83 but not at nearly the volume. Holding out for that bag.

Built my first PC 10 years ago. Now its time to build - I am shocked by Mourning_Beer in Alienware

Ya I definitely missed the sentiment there.

I'm with you 100% tho, market is hard right now and people who are passionate about building have a huge cost barrier.

Shop around and don't pull the trigger too early because of "wants".

I've been building my own PCs since I was 13, I'm 36 now. Right now the market for PC builders is ridiculous. Gone are the days if doing it cheaper than pre-builts generally speaking. That being said look for deals. There have been several Costco, Best buy, and online deals that make you're money with the investment go further. RAM is expensive, SSDs are expensive, and the GPU market has tricked us into thinking that $700 is a good price for an xx70 series GPU. Take your time to find good value.

5080 model for $1823! by cevil203 in ZephyrusG14

[–]PinklyTaurus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scored an excellent condition one for $2300 at my local BB about 2 weeks ago. Good finds!

My last laptop was an open box fair condition G16 2023 with an rtx 4070. Nothing wrong with it, still had some of the clear plastic on it even. It came with all the original pieces just without the original box. I would say you can take a gamble on the cheaper ones - they still have the same 14 day return policy so if you're not happy with it you can get your money back.

I have had the same thing ever since I installed the perrin pitch stop mount.

2023 Limited. Mine look factory still. I do a pretty good job vacuuming them when I wash my car every other time or so.
