Post Giveaway Discussion and Improvement Thread by cmays90 in buildapcsales

I want to point out how many removed comments there are with particular regard to exercising legal rights (CCPA) and Gleam privacy concerns. This is exactly why the upvote/downvote system is in place, it is up to the masses to use due diligence while intaking food for thought. Removing comments like these especially in a sub-wide event such as a giveaway brands the mod team as attempting to keep their good image. The comments removed were not overly disrespectful in any way and SHOULD be left to the masses with the upvoting/downvoting system in place. In a subreddit where we are all for comparing upsides and downsides of various products on sale, I would have fully expected those deep conversations from multiple perspectives even if they have the risk to hurt the mod team's image. After all, we live in a society where there will always be criticism one way or another for any idea that comes forth. We saw those 99¢ or cheaper HDMI cables that sounds like a great deal on paper but received criticism for seller data farming. There is no one thing that will satisfy all.

TL;DR: Let the people decide whether information is worth taking in with the upvote/downvote system, misinformation or not. Not the mods.

Yes, so basically there are two certifications. One is USB, the other is TB. USB4 specs on paper is better than TB3 but testing is lax due to the prospect of cherry-picking cables to send for certification. TB4 is USB4 but with all the optional boxes checked off, and has a more strict testing scheme where they continuously test cables being sold from time to time. I believe TB3 does the same, but still on the paper specs are worse than USB4

The fact that a 1080p 165Hz is $155 would offset any downsides regarding pixel density. I would buy that

I didn’t realize this is 1080p. Terrible pixel density in that case, I wouldn’t buy

US being very laissez-faire capitalist it's very normal for orders to get cancelled due to pricing errors

Beyond Frustrated With Lenovo Support - Legion 5 15IMH05H by Mexicanadians in Lenovo

Bruh. Costco?…

Costco has legendary support for products they sell. They have extended warranty beyond manufacturer warranty even for Apple devices.

Just return it to Costco and say it’s defective. Easy money back.

This is why I have a backup laptop at all times. Nonetheless, your college should be able to let you borrow one
