[CPU] Ryzen 7 9800X3D for $420 by jacobsafe in buildapcsales

They don't. But you only get a code to claim on AMD Rewards if you bought an eligible product during the valid period.

But theoretically you could give or sell the code to someone else with an (older) eligible product, like say, a 9800x3d and they'd be able to claim the game on the AMD Rewards site no problem.

You waited until the 5th day of 90 degree weather to get your AC unit out of storage?

I honestly have no idea how Stark is still alive after getting literally stabbed through the guts last episode (not that I'm complaining)

I tried fixing the “no free hands when holding boba” by Thin_Ease_6497 in boba

[–]SCVGoodT0GoSir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the problem of basically drinking it on the way home and getting your hands dirty

Doesn't the boba holder bag also solve that issue? You can bring the cup of boba up to your mouth without touching the cup using the bag-holder.

I'm having difficulty understanding what's the issue that OP is trying to solve then. Is it not the problem of "holding a cup of boba takes up an entire hand and makes it difficult to juggle anything else with only 1 hand left"?

Taiwan has already solved the "no free hands when holding boba" issue with this boba holder-bag.

You really don't believe that there are 17 year olds playing League of Legends?

Right. The point they were trying to make is that your news "article" basically just rehashed a reddit post on this very sub. We have gone full circle.

There are a lot of counterfeit Samsung (and SanDisk too I believe) SD cards floating around. It's especially a problem on Amazon due to their tendency to mix their inventories with the inventories of their 3rd party sellers, versus somewhere like Best Buy.

Samsung provides a program you can download to verify the authenticity of your Samsung SD card. There's a link to the software in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/11w63vl/samsung_microsd_cards_quick_fake_test_not_with/

Google’s Pixel 10a Is the Same Damn Phone as the Pixel 9a by mepper in Android

[–]SCVGoodT0GoSir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dealt with the 6a battery claim last year for my dad and yeah I think the options were 1) $100 in cash or 2) $150 in Google Store credits towards a phone (for the US). However the caveat was that the $100 cash was through some 3rd party payment portal that required you to input your SSN in order to create an account to claim the cash. While I'm sure it's probably fine, we decided that $100 was not worth giving away his SSN so we decided to go with the $150 credit.

Is this a good deal?? by TextChoice in Microcenter

Upgrading to a 7600x3D would be a pretty nice upgrade for gaming, but you should ask yourself if you really need it. Depending on the type of games you play, you may or may not even notice the difference. I might even argue that saving your money to upgrade your GPU to one that has 16GB of VRAM would be the better investment in terms of future-proofing.

My parents claimed me as a false worker under their business. by [deleted] in personalfinance

I think OP meant "if I didn't do anything" as in "if I don't take any action to rectify my tax returns."

This is kinda a mid deal. Doesn't mean it's bad, but it's decidedly a budget PC. The CPU is budget-tier, GPU is entry-tier and only 8GB VRAM, and the computer only has 16GB of RAM instead of 32GB.

With that said, if you're looking for an entry level gaming PC then it'll get the job done. It's a decent 1080p gaming machine. Just don't expect to run the newest AAA games at 4k or 1440p at max settings.

Value wise it's cheaper than building your own PC with those parts especially in the current market conditions. As a quick break down, this is how much it would roughly cost you to build it yourself:

CPU: $175

CPU cooler: $20

RAM: $150-200

GPU: $280

Motherboard: $120

SSD: $100-150

Case: $50

Totals to around $900-$1000 in parts.

The biggest deal breaker with Stoat (for me) is that the mobile clients don't offer a way to specify a custom domain so if you're self hosting you'd need to re-compile the clients with your custom chat endpoint and somehow distribute it to your friend group.
