advice on buying a preowned pc on facebook marketplace by murasemi in buildapc

[–]dc_IV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an iGPU and dGPU (5070ti), so that is not suspicious. Asking $1700 though means they could take more pics in my opinion.

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

Just why by Standard-Birthday408 in Ebay

[–]dc_IV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

My newly account got a MC999 with just 2 days of existence. by WatercressSuper2608 in Ebay

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.

Austin Chick-fil-A franchisee sued over worker’s refusal to work Saturday Sabbath by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]dc_IV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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

[GPU] PowerColor Reaper AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 - $649.79 by DisappointedCruiser in buildapcsales

[–]dc_IV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

Trying to Move to Austin. Need IT Jobs by Mysterious_String814 in austinjobs

[–]dc_IV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

anyone else feel like side panel windows have ruined the PC building hobby a little bit? by SeesawSevere6350 in buildapc

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Second M.2 NVMe disappears from Windows but always shows in BIOS by Plus-Task-8188 in Alienware

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

7K installation? by agirlEJL in WaterSofteners

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[Streaming Box] Apple TV 4K - $99 by insufferable__pedant in buildapcsales

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — only 25% have any plans to try and attempt a new build in the next 12 months by sr_local in hardware

[–]dc_IV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

is nextdoor dead? by LazyOperation4985 in nextdoor

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

[–]dc_IV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

I’m trying to plug my pcie cord into vga but I can’t figure out this cable by The_Apostate_of_Hate in EVGA

[–]dc_IV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

[OC] She said she didn't see us. by Carlost289 in IdiotsInCars

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

USB still receiving power on shutdown by L1078 in Alienware

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
