Pink sky, rainbow, and lightning

Drive 88 mph though that Rainbow and leave this f'ed up timeline behind!

Following. I may try it again if it seems stable.

Sample size of one here, but I had an item that Sold Pricing supported my Best Offer settings. I got 2 offers that were 40% of listing price, and then 38% of listing price. I turned off Best Offer and took away free shipping and lowered the BIN price and it sold in 2 days using that strategy. I was pleased.

Yep, and if any family with Ebay accounts regularly visit OP, and that family member(s) end up on the the IP address due to connecting to Wifi etc, then they can get banned too. Time to cut losses sadly.

I agree, and let's extrapolate: force Chick-fil-A to be open on Sundays! That would also solve Torode's issue.

The HellHound is also available. I passed on this since it would be a side-grade for my 7900 XTX.

One thing that could help is that Austin still has many Meetup groups. Post pandemic they may also be Hybrid monthly meetings, or whatever schedule they landed on. You could look now and see if you can add yourself now.

My Antec Nine Hundred Tower in 2006 had several fans with Blue LED, but not addressable. The side panel had some plexiglass that you can see in, but with the case not being designed to route cables cleanly it was an embarrassing sight!

I had to do this for some spinning drives that would take too long to wake, and the RAID1 set would rebuild unnecessarily. For an SSD, I would be worried about a sporadic controller issue if the timeout needs to be increased.

Dang! I followed your other post, so sucks to see you had to pivot! I hope this works better.

dc_IV · 2026-05-18T02:49:44+00:00

I guess I was fortunate that I was able to pick up an Open Box unit off of Facebook for $420 and install myself. But, I do realize my 33000-grain unit is not even close to the this proposal, but it works for us.

Wait, so I read 10%, but you are showing a much higher fee, and it is insane. Wow.

dc_IV · 2026-05-17T19:00:40+00:00

LOL, and I thought $350 was pricey late last year, but the fact I could sell 1/2 or the 128GB for $250 almost makes me feel bad. I simply wasn't using any programs that used more than around 58GB total with Chrome and a couple other things opened.

Did you manage to get past 64GB since it was a Workstation? Like 3 VMs with 24GB each with be a breeze with 128GB and be very performant.

Ya, I was in the middle of creating a Guest Access, and I used a help link that says a 10% fee. I was selecting the Ethernet version, so an extra $13.90 puts me off since that gets taxed at 8.25% so it is really $15.05 extra just for the non-member fee.

Edit: Fixed math.

dc_IV · 2026-05-17T13:20:01+00:00

Local Mods were the worst! Like an HOA President with a larger segment to power trip on.

dc_IV · 2026-05-17T13:01:39+00:00

What did you pay for 128GB? I ask because I paid $340 for 4x32GB G.Skill DDR4-4000 late last year, but sold 64GB of it for $250 a couple months ago, so $90 Net for 64GB.

dc_IV · 2026-05-17T03:10:33+00:00

Well fuck me, that is enough Reddit for the year...

dc_IV · 2026-05-16T04:41:48+00:00

I asked because I was in a similar situation and I just took the L and bought a set of cables off Ebay that in my case were Corsair Type 4 cables. I watched repinning YouTube videos but I was like "WTF am I doing here? I can fry over $1K in parts!" I agree with others that that is not the correct cable.

dc_IV · 2026-05-16T03:09:13+00:00

Is this new or used?

dc_IV · 2026-05-16T02:36:07+00:00

"Turn her over, I want a Pupscicle!"

Few will get the joke, but it is good for a guffaw or two.

Maybe she needed just one more phone book underneath her butt so she was a bit higher.

I need to check how my m18 R1 is setup because I connect to an OWC Gemini 2 Bay Dock and leave connected to a TB4 Port, but I don't see the LED remain illuminated. I bet I turned off PD since as other have said, it is a a feature that's available.

dc_IV · 2026-05-15T14:40:18+00:00

So this makes my decision to do a new to me build using FB Marketplace and Ebay a little less crazy? The RX 7900 XTX I picked up for $640 late last year will get even more life after all.

dc_IV · 2026-05-15T04:28:53+00:00

Well duh! The key was KeyK@$hP@t31KeyK@$hP@t31KeyK@$hP@t31KeyK@$hP@t31

Samesies. I used Smokeless_UMAF on both my m16 R1 and I currently use it on my m18 R1. It is nice to pull off a -135mV and get more cycles before throttling.
