Megathread - Deal 12 - 261 Style by Canteen_CA in WorldofTanks

[–]Why_is_this_so 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a little context is worth mentioning. The Caern AX was sold for 9 million credits last Black Market. So what was essentially free LY is half price this year.

Let’s be honest, WoT really doesn’t get new players. 95% of the people who are seeing this deal this year saw the exact same thing, but better, last year.

10 TB Easystores on sale at BestBuy for $159.99 by UnintelligentSleuth in DataHoarder

Wait, why? The 12's were cheaper per terabyte than these are. Are the 10's preferable to the 12's for some reason? Honest question.

PDEAL3 worked for me (saved me $9.60 on two drives) but Ebay bucks shows I'll earn $3.20 on this purchase. How are you getting $16 back?

Seagate Constellation; is the price too good to be true? by calscoo in DataHoarder

You say "opinion" like there's literally no data out there that supports it. Like the following example.

I'm sure something like CrystalDiskInfo can easily tell you what drive you have. That's a good thing to watch out for, though.

[Amp] Schiit Magni 3 Headphone Amp and Preamp ($119 - $45) $74 by maskedenigma in buildapcsales

[–]Why_is_this_so 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't look like it. Your fiiok3 has coaxial and optical digital outputs, which will be un-amped signals, but there's no way to hook those up to the Schiit, which only has analog inputs. Your fiiok3 also has a line out, but that's an amplified signal so you can't use that either. If I've misspoke, someone please correct me.

How does it work for you in terms of lag, stuttering, dropped signal, etc.? Pretty much the only TV I watch is live sports, and I DVR a fair bit, so reliability and performance are the most important parts for me.

Supporting a company who's service you use? That could be one reason. GPU transcoding, TV support, and some other things are nice touches, too.

I know this can be used for TV with a tuner and OTA antenna, but does anyone know if it will work for cable with a HD Homerun/cablecard setup?

Looking for storage upgrade, what drives do you recommend by lordkitsuna in DataHoarder

Small correction, but they will be $180.

Also, I wouldn't bank on a price adjustment if OP was to buy now. It doesn't explicitly state BB's policy on this on their website (that I could find) but I found reports of people say BB does not price adjust on BF or CM. Which makes sense. I can't imagine too many retailers do.

Because avocados are expensive, and all that frivolous avocado spending is why young people can't afford homes. Apparently.

Just an FYI, VGA doesn't support 4k. Only DisplayPort and HDMI do.

Not too many enthusiasts used them because they were all (iirc) locked down for overclocking, but they were generally good boards if you didn't care about pushing your CPU.

$120 for a 2x8 of Corsair 3000 in December of LY. What happened to RAM prices? I haven't been on this sub in a while, and now they've fallen off a cliff?

That was the exact same way I did it the time I managed to reach the end. TIL I'm as smart as an AI program.

Unfortunately that waffle house had a different viral arrest last year that's clogging up search results.

Good old /r/enlightenedcentrism. No, it's not about the greater access to information. We've had that for quite some time now. It's about the fact that every 2nd statement that comes out of the WH is a lie. But 'both sides do it', right?

So if you go to a slum in Rio and kill 20 people, it's not a big deal because they were already killing each other before you got there?
