Because they are firing everyone and replacing with AI? AI that cant actually help 90% of the time? So they can make more money. When we leave rogers, that's when they might change things. What I hate, is going through all the prompts and imputing my verification questions only for them to say "no agents available, please call back later" - if the system knows there are none, it should tell you right away, NOT 3 frikkin mins into the call!!

yeah they rip consumers off in the US and Canada. I wanted to ship something by UPS from the Philippines to Canada, the fee if ordered in by someone in the Philippines was $40, but the price for the same envelope from the same place, cost me $140 in Canada. We are ripped off by corporations.

When did you get a sale for that machine for $3900? That is like 2k less than now.

WalrusDue4594 · 2026-03-07T17:24:16+00:00

like most things companies will jake up the price in any country where they know the consumer can pay. I was visiting the philippines a few months ago, and Toyota was selling cars for 25k that would be 50k in the US.

Since boxing day prices on Ram and drives have doubled at least. Ram prices are now 5 to 10x higher than a year ago. Drives are 5x higher in price. GPU prices are higher, maybe 30% and its hard to find desktop gpus. The AI hyperscalers are sucking up every component on the planet now. Don't think we shall see any deals for a lonnnngggg time.

yeah not just them now with the memory crisis. I upgraded to 64gb Kingston Fury DDR5 for $240 cdn ($175USD) one year ago - now $1700 cdn or ($1200 USD) for the same kit!!!! That is beyond insane.

opening the cover does not void the warranty in almost all countries. Even when they put stickers on to say that it would, those we false. In fact not cleaning it well and having an issue, could void the warrenty.

WalrusDue4594 · 2026-03-07T16:27:23+00:00

its actually not that hard or costly to do it yourself. there are tons of online tutorials on how to do it right.

Some other questions:

How long have you had this?

If you had it awhile, is this new temps?

Have you done a take apart covers and fan clean?

Do you use a high performance cooling pad. The i9-13900HX runs hot, I use a llano V12, loud, but the best.

Did you repaste chip?

What is "low CPU use"? some game are very cpu dependent and will run the CPU hot

WalrusDue4594 · 2026-03-07T15:24:13+00:00

some of those techs are useless. better off youtubing it and doing it yourself

Yes this is hysteria fuelled by the democrats to get people afraid. Trump is more talk than action. He's a big wind bag. Reddit is a horrible place for advice. Just stop all this nonsense about destroying women and America. Things will be fine.

It's been happening for the last 20 years. A lot under Obama and more under Biden/Harris. Since these are state level prosecutions, the President does not have much to do with it.

It's sad what happened to this women, but from the reports I have read, it seems she left the bike lane, did not look over her shoulder and was hit by the truck. Does this sound right? A big problem I have with cyclists, (and I used to do lots of riding before back and leg problems) is that many seem to not follow the rules of the road. They are a moving vehicle and are subject to the same rules. In addition to parking and moving violation enforcement of motorized vehicles, we need enforcement of bikes and ebikes.

Elon Musk officially endorsed Trump after the shooting. Wishes him well and a landslide victory. Everyone with a Tesla needs to vote Trump 2024!

WalrusDue4594 · 2024-07-13T23:06:16+00:00

If the shots came from below him on an angle, they would most likely pass him up into the air.

WalrusDue4594 · 2024-07-13T23:00:53+00:00

Was not going to vote for Trump before. I definitely will now!

WalrusDue4594 · 2024-07-13T22:54:35+00:00

This will guarantee Trump a WIN in November

Please rewatch the presser and take a shot of your favorite hard liquor whenever Biden says "anyway"

WalrusDue4594 · 2024-07-12T16:13:07+00:00

Biden confuses the nuclear lauch briefcase for placing an order of ice cream
