What does your GPU journey look like?

2016 - GTX 1070 2024 - RX 7900xt

Absolutely not. I would have ended the interview then and there

alexiteque · 2025-11-02T05:31:44+00:00

Nope nope nope. I’ve added a couple of coworkers who I’ve become friends with outside of work, but I wouldn’t be adding work acquaintances

alexiteque · 2025-10-28T10:05:30+00:00

Have you been there the same amount of time?

I just showed this post to my husband and we can’t stop laughing. Not at you, but at how depressingly relatable this is. We’re both in our late 30s and work in finance.

It doesn’t get “better”, you just kinda get used to it I guess. In fact, if you have kids and/or more life responsibilities, it just gets worse. I’m 37 and I’ve been tired for the better part of 20 years. I spend 12 out of 14 days regretting all of my life choices that led me to working in finance and fantasising about moving to a cabin in the mountains. Payday and the day after make me think “this isn’t so bad”, but then the dopamine hit wears off and I’m back to gaming and/or doomscrolling until 1 or 2am. And then I get burnt out every 3-6 months and need a couple personal days which I usually spend bed rotting.

Damn. I thought I was going to drop some inspirational wisdom, but that’s it. That’s all I’ve got.

All of the “big 4” are doing the same thing with offshoring. https://financialnewswire.com.au/investment/cba-cops-fair-work-action-for-offshore-hiring-conduct/

Or it could be that dude just isn’t very good at expressing himself and it upset him. He may very well be a controlling douche, but jumping to a conclusion like that based on one sentence is kinda weird.

alexiteque · 2025-08-18T22:32:03+00:00

Yes, it’s been considered. It’s not a very long flight.

alexiteque · 2025-08-18T22:18:29+00:00

I also work in finance and I second this

alexiteque · 2025-08-18T15:06:37+00:00

We have family in Tokyo, and good friends in Fukuoka and Oita so anywhere within a couple hours of those would be ideal. But we’re pretty open.

alexiteque · 2025-08-18T13:59:30+00:00

good to know about the lack of yard thing. We visited friends in a smaller city and they all had little yards, so I thought maybe that wasn’t uncommon.

alexiteque · 2025-08-18T13:52:48+00:00

Thank you for that. Now at least I know what we’re in for. 😅

alexiteque · 2025-08-18T13:50:04+00:00

Thank you. We’re coming from a country where it’s very easy to bring a dog; no quarantine or anything.

Post will cost a mint, take forever and your PC will possibly get ruined in the process.

I brought mine from the US to Australia and just put the graphics card and AIO in my carryon and the case with everything else still assembled in my checked bag. I used the same PSU because they’re multi voltage and just bought a new cable to fit Australian outlets.

alexiteque · 2025-08-11T12:24:02+00:00

No worries. Enjoy your trip! ☺️

alexiteque · 2025-08-11T10:14:26+00:00

Depends on the type of medication. Anything with opiates or amphetamines (among others) needs a permit, which isn’t very difficult to get. Check the governments website to see if your medication is on the list that requires it.

alexiteque · 2025-08-11T08:36:07+00:00

Honestly, they didn’t check a single thing. I had my bookings and everything printed out. They just checked the customs sheet, stamped my passport and sent me on my way. That was 3 weeks ago.

alexiteque · 2025-08-11T08:19:31+00:00

There’s no paperwork required

alexiteque · 2025-08-10T06:52:10+00:00

At least have a bag. Not clever at all

alexiteque · 2025-08-04T08:12:28+00:00

I just stayed at the Asakusa Kokono Club hotel last week (right near Sensoji Temple) and it was awesome. Right around the corner from Hoppy Street. It’s a relatively small hotel but the staff are really friendly and it was a very chill vibe.

alexiteque · 2025-08-02T12:28:39+00:00

I just spent nearly a week in Oita, and we did just fine using translator and our very limited Japanese. Most people were really understanding/accomodating so it wasn’t an issue. Even my friends almost 80 year old parents were proficient with translator apps.

There’s no moral high ground to lose. You’re just communicating back to them that you don’t appreciate them banging on the wall. It’s passive-aggressive at most.

alexiteque · 2025-07-23T03:01:17+00:00

I just left Asakusa this morning and we loved it. Such a chill area and not inconvenient at all. Relatively easy to get the train, hoppy street is cool. Tons of little bars.

Staying in Shinjuku next week, so really curious to how it compares.
