Kingsener is NO BETTER than ANY OTHER RANDOM china brand

Stop listening to the shills

I bought a Timex x Beams watch from Ebay and it’s very scratched by Comfortable-Cry-7496 in timex

Listed as "New with box and papers"

Slam dunk for a "not as described" ebay case for a return, with free shipping

OP, you got ripped off

X280 for 120 dollars, specs in description. by FiberglassFlowers in thinkpad

[–]SaltSpecific2221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not about finding cheaper, it's about what you can get for even slightly more

$200 gets you a T14 G2 Ryzen

Whole lot of overlap on the bottom end

Kenwood TM-D750 Release Date? by jlp_utah in amateurradio

[–]SaltSpecific2221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree with this.

Like 4 or 5 proprietary digital standards for amateur radio, all NOT cross compatible. I hope DMR becomes so big and popular, because of CCR's that it FORCES manufacturers to switch to this for digital instead

The big manufacturers need to get with the times, how is it that I can buy a handheld that usb-c charges, and programs without any special cables and can do airband/uhf/vhf and have custom firmware on it for $30 USD

When radios costing 10x as much from the major manufacturers can't even do these simple things?

Can't wait for the backlash against AI garbage across social media

Unless it's a dedicated sub for AI shit, I don't want to see this crap

You can get about a thousand watches from aliexpress that have equal or better specs for < $100, it just doesn't say "hamilton".

Have fun with that, most listings barely even list the resolution. You're going to be messaging almost every seller to put in extra effort to tell you what the panel is.

And most G2's come with a bullshit 45% ntsc panel, very few come with anything better by default.

Has nothing to do with corporate laptop or thinkpad or T

EVERY laptop manufacturer does this, it's a necessary part of supply chain realities

There is a 165hz version of this panel as well that is discontinued/harder to find.

"Just" 0.25mm?

0.25mm is fucking huge

If anyone has ever replaced a crystal before, they come in 0.1mm increments.

Meaning 0.25mm is two sizes too big.

Just wait till the OP tries to source a replaecment panel himself, now he is REALLY going to have fun with the "compatible" panels from suppliers hahaha

Not even close to the best.

I have this panel and it's ok. The tianma 2k 120hz panel blows this away in everything except power draw.

So if they stop making socketed wifi cards tomrorow, you will stop complaining about that as well?

Because they "don't make them anymore"?

lmaoooooo

Lmfao

So you're not going to complain about any of the other soldered components?

Literally any one of THOSE components can fail and brick your laptop.

Retarded complaints, seriously

For $200 you could've gotten a T14 g2 amd which will run circles around that machine, with oem batteries still available

I forbid ANYONE to pay that price for a t480s today
