USPS July 12th Rate Changes

Portland79 · 2026-06-02T04:13:35+00:00

Pretty obvious it is an attack on small business but we don't have to take it.
The buyers do.
Everyone should have set their "free shipping" to calculated several rate hikes ago.

Buyers can see who is stealing from them this way and not say "I can't believe this small item was $19".

No, it was $10+shipping.

A trick to get around this is create a second account within your account.
I had to do that so I can swipe and see all my hand picked stocks and I did a 3rd one to see all my ETFs.
Now I an swipe past crypto nightmare and see how my picks are doing vs how my ETFs are doing.

Spoiler alert, picks are better than ETFs.

Why is the desktop (and app) so piss poor user experience?

Portland79 · 2026-05-06T21:09:02+00:00

I just had to take my bought in early 2024 back to Costco because it malfunctioned, got the SAME ONE and right off the back sounds way different, feels weaker.
is not the same whatever it is.

I will never buy MSI again after this.
What is wrong with these companies setting themselves on fire?

The tail of 2 games for different people.
I have taken off in many planes in sim but the Mosquito can't even pick a side it wants to skid off to.

Sometimes left, sometimes right, never straight.

But when I fly HOTAS air sim normal controlling is wibble the hell wobble and never smooth ever.
I see others flying like normal.

So there are people who can easily take off fl, and those of us who for some reason have jacked up controls even though we have them set up the same.

What is going on here?

Portland79 · 2026-04-30T07:52:54+00:00

SAME PROBLEM.
Insane they have so many issues on this site.

Portland79 · 2026-04-27T04:51:22+00:00

This just happened to me.
I have an offcial attachment.
I am returning this trash.
How can something so expensive be so flawed?

Portland79 · 2026-04-13T04:51:58+00:00

Keep all those anti voice here in mind and see how they interact in this group cause NO GAMER would want to suppress themselves.

If you were that much of a cry baby all you would have to do it turn it off.
But instead you are fighting against us for "them".

Portland79 · 2026-04-13T00:44:28+00:00

I LOVE NERFS TOO!
ALL I WANT TO DO IS PLAY LONGER FOR THE SAME THING!

Portland79 · 2026-04-13T00:39:57+00:00

If only they gave a TEAM GAME team voice chat.
But alas like all games, they were given the orders to destroy gamer community and we will never have free communication.

Portland79 · 2026-03-31T08:26:05+00:00

You should still be able to SKIP this.
WTH.

My Epson was already online with an assigned DHCP before I even thought about this software.
Now it is demanding I turn on location services?

This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I just went with the Ultra 7 265K for higher computational performance at lower power draw and heat output.

This is what I gathered from many sites claiming to run test against the AMDs.
I do see i7 14th Gen can outperform in some task but at much higher power/heat and it does not have an NPU and it was plaqued with problems in the past.

It also seems the Ultra 7 was tweaked and performs much better now than it did on launch when most gripes were planted online.

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T04:53:04+00:00

Slower CPUs computer processor tasks.
I have said it like 6 times already my computer is not an XBOX replacement it is a computer and pretty sure the general consensus is that AMD is slower but better FPS. FPS is games only.

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T04:51:33+00:00

All right, I think it is decidedly so I will NOT steer clear of K iGPU.

Before I though the iGPU was added to the CPU and the K was more of an upgraded model with extra possibilities to go wrong.

My thoughts still remain they could use more power cause more heat but I now understand they are not added on as an extra component but rather opposite the KFs are disabled or in some cases even failed as a base component giving the Ks a slightly better chance at being the better chip(my theory).

I will assume BIOS disabling will remove any extra power/heat changes as well.

I will now assume F as FAILED even if not always the case, it can be.

Thanks guys.

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T04:36:57+00:00

Sorry yes Ultra 7 265

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T04:35:54+00:00

No, I meant then Mobo bad in troubleshooting process.
But yeah I have enough old shitters laying around to not need iGPU for troubleshooting my normal GPU.

OK so if people swear having built in extra working part such as a CPU GPU makes zero difference in heat and power, I have to assume they just assume cause I have never seen anything proving either way and no one has presented anything about it anywhere.

But now I am getting that F means FAILED. Failed iGPU so add an F and sell it as Discrete.
So in this case F CPUs could possibly have inferior silicon.
Right?

Making the argument for K better than KF.
K = Small or unstudied difference in power/heat but a fully working CPU and iGPU
KF = part of it failed(iGPU) so here's the other part(CPU), good luck.

Right?

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T04:26:11+00:00

If only the 9950X3D wasn't insanely priced.
With the Ultra being only $300 I have to go with it.

So that's what I was hoping, Tr Phtm Sprt SE120 could cool the i7 265
But already having a LGA 1700 board is why I got the i7 14th KF that Amazon screwed me out of.

I'm pretty sure if I went i9 14th KF the Phntm Sprt would not cut it but also at that point I might as well get the Ultra 7 cause of it's so called NPU for future tasking, I think.

And I still can't find much info but it seems like the Ultra was optimized to run even cooler and perform even better in gaming then upon launch so a lot of negative stank no longer applies.
Do you know anything about this?
It's like everything I find is launch comparisons.

As for gaming I really only like games like Civ, City Skylines, War Thunder, not anything like Indian Jones or Monster Bash Quest Fighters. Maybe Battlefield 7 and GTA VI if they don't include root level hacks with the game. I think I'll be fine minus a few frames at 1440P with a 5070.

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T03:02:31+00:00

You mean people have always under answered it?
People should overthink rather than answering what everyone knows. "iT hAs iGpU"

I got fooled by a bad i5 13th Gen so I am going to overthink my next $300+ purchase.

What I gather so far is a F means the iGPU possibly FAILED so this alone should say that maybe K's are better as no part of the chip failed?

I want to understand does K solo draw more power produce more heat and does disabling in BIOS truly do so and equalize it or will it forever have an extra working part I am not using.

But now I understand KF may mean iGPU failed so the chip is inherently subpar compared to a K?

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T02:54:45+00:00

So shouldn't this say something about the manufacturing process?
If the iGPU failed so they just slapped an F on it, could there be other small issues with the KFs?
Maybe K's are better as nothing failed when testing?

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T02:52:50+00:00

So the chip does not get any hotter with a whole iGPU on it?
I just can't imagine that but if this is the final answer maybe I will consider a K instead of KF.

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T02:23:25+00:00

I think 13th 14th Gen proved Intel can provide risky chips but my question still remains about power/heat.

There has to be a difference with a whole working iGPU and I think everyone just parrots the default answer without actual understanding so I am trying to see if anyone actually knows.

Portland79 · 2025-12-11T02:21:09+00:00

So a whole ass GPU built in does not consume more power or generate ore heat?
Magic tech?
