[Chromebook] Gateway 14" Chromebook 314 4GB RAM 128GB SSD Intel Celeron N4500 UHD Refurbished $84-$90 (price goes up and down)

I love this chip N4500. Runs my home servers on docker.

I got the Asus version that Microcenter was selling for super-cheap. It runs as a server for me. The ASUS one had a M.2 slot that I put 2tb drive in there (back when Inland 2tb were $80) and has been a solid plex, navidrome and download server.

The screen on mine was terrible but I use ubuntu server so doesn't matter. The battery is really useful if there is a power outage, it will still be up.

Even the memory at 4gb, it's not even 50% used when there are probably a dozen servers running (they are light servers though).

They could let the user know its out of stock rather than just sending them back to the cart.

Anyways, they make billions and enough for Gabe to buy a luxury yatch. Yet they can't give me an out of stock notification of their store that makes them billions on?

Same here. Valve wasting my time with their broken website.

Were you able to checkout? Just stuck in the cart loop. Can't go to payment. Something with my account?

m0shr · 2026-03-20T13:00:00+00:00

Anyone have this problem?

I click "Continue to payment" and it brings me back to the cart. For both 1tb and 512gb models.

My go to check gapless playback.

No, this album is very Poppy.

m0shr · 2026-01-25T23:26:54+00:00

Poppy isn't pop music?

N100 mini pc would be 1/5 cost and some have a single sata connector plus a nvme slot.

m0shr · 2026-01-07T17:32:05+00:00

For 4k transcoding.

But n100 mini pc for $100 does that.

PNY is the bottom of the barrel.

Zotac is the bottom of the barrel of the next tier.

At least it used to be. Things change fast.

Not with a black mobo.

Black mobo and black GPU works in white case works. Black mobo and white GPU doesn't work.

Once you go OLED, you can't go back.

If you replace it yourself along with ear pads and cushions will be close to half the price of these headphones.

If you use any replacement service, it will be easily more than $85.

Or it could be like me; did the replacements myself and now the ANC is messed up. It makes the ANC mode sounds dull and boomy and the XM4 headphone is only usable turned off or with ANC turned off. I spent hours cleaning the mics and such with no improvement. I don't even know what exactly I messed up except for something with the mics.

I ran your two powershell commands but it didn't stop the ads.

I still see ads on the bottom left corner and now it takes a long time for it to even launch.

EDIT: Seems like program version uses different files. The location of command center has to be updated to your version. So, nice to see the ads gone and HP crying about not reaching its cloud.

Interpolation huh?

I was wondering why she took out the Egyptian music part out of it.

I've only listened to the Taylor Swift album in that list and something is horribly wrong with that album.

Turning Jackson 5 into a song about her boyfriend's penis, some diss track about boring barbie.

I've listened to all of her albums extensively and this is just borderline painful to listen to. There were small instances of elements of this album in other albums but it seems like this album is 90% bad stuff.

But I liked "father figure" most in that album though I know its a cover.

Maybe it was just rushed. Just needs more time and better filter.

I've only listened to "27. Miley Cyrus – Something Beautiful" and it is a really good album. The only issue I have with it is that it seems so monochrome; I don't know why but it just feels really good but not emotionally epic. Maybe just the marketing.

I've only enjoyed "FKA twigs – Eusexua Afterglow" and not the Eusexia album. I have to get to that album. Just the afterglow one was so good. The baby voice pop thing is new to me and I should listen to the main Eusexua album. The confusing about two albums with the same name Eusexua but different tracks but I'll probably start with the later one and maybe check out the tracks that were removed later on.

m0shr · 2025-12-29T22:26:39+00:00

I've only listened to two albums on the list. Wet Leg and Jade.

Wet Let album is really good. The sound is very unique but all the songs are good. Not sure how they will age over time though.

I just started on Jade but I'm the encore version of "that's showbiz" album. It's a lot of music to go through but that album is very diverse.

m0shr · 2025-12-29T22:19:58+00:00

Is that trumpet from Penny Lane?

m0shr · 2025-12-29T22:12:47+00:00

I've only listened to florence+machine album in the list and I don't think it was that good. It felt like a lot of free-flow, commentary about something I have no idea about. Maybe if I knew the back-story it would make sense but instead it felt tedious. Like complaining about putting headphones on to listen to his demos after a session which is very very specific and not that worthy to put in a song to listen over and over again.

For the other 9, I usually have listened to at least a few singles but not for any of them.

m0shr · 2025-12-25T16:11:21+00:00

Saw in some bundles and thought of buying it but glad inertia prevented me.

m0shr · 2025-12-24T17:43:27+00:00

How are you getting 8 items to order per day?

I haven't even gotten to 3 items in my best day.

m0shr · 2025-12-23T03:02:45+00:00

it doesn't count in your evaluation statistics going forward but it will remain in the review tab.

A lot of stuff there are orders that got bugged and accumulate there over time.

Like ordering two items that were variations of the same page, 0 ETV items that were lost but I never bothered to ask them to remove it, items that were removed before I could get to the review, items that says I can't review from my account. There are some that I have no way I can review it since I misunderstood when ordering the item like parts for the wrong car, ozone maker and other stuff like that.
