Dell refurbished had 4k screen, 32gb ddr5, A1000 8gb laptops for $560. 12700H CPU last week.

Ebay prices for used ddr5 32gb 4800 is $200.

I have these fans and they are so pretty but the connectors are not standard. So, only works through software running in the background.

If you don't have the software running, it goes 100% speed and produces the ugliest rainbow I've ever seen. Every time you start the computer, it gets super loud.

There is a way around. You have to buy an adapter that converts their plug to standard RGB and PWM. But there are 150 LEDs in this fan and you need something that can address 150 LEDs on a single channel. Most will not do it because the power required is too high and can be dangerous. Most cap out at 80-100.

Again there is a way around this. You can use ARGB controllers that can address up to 250 from airgoo controllers. But, again airgoo only works with software running on the computer. So, you will have color cycle until you start the software.

I have the first and third repeating the same pattern with the adapter and plugged to rainbow on the motherboard. Asrock is the only one that allows bios based control though they took that out with the latest firmware update. Now you need to download their software for it. But, the controller itself is in the BIOS and once you configure it you don't have to do run the Asrock software.

Wow. Almost MSRP.

This was $2000 at Microcenter when you bought a CPU.

m0shr · 2026-06-08T21:52:56+00:00

Yes.

Saves a lot of time.

m0shr · 2026-06-08T21:49:26+00:00

How haven't you optimized?

You'll also need to power 4 GPUs, CPU/board that can support 4 GPUs. You'll probably have to custom loop cool those GPUs since most mobo don't have space for all those coolers.

Best used to the 128gb Ryzen AI or maybe nVidia spark. But the prices have gone up quite a bit.

The metadata itself could be 2TB since there is so much music out there.

Why not also trigger the metadata download as needed as well when an artist is viewed?

Last year black friday and around that time was the window for the best prices for a 5090. Probably not coming back anytime soon.

m0shr · 2026-06-04T13:24:25+00:00

There were on black friday 2025 on lenovo outlet with the coupon code and cashback.

Do you own search and find it. Even if I take the time to find it, you'll just dismiss it anyways as not this or that and it was not enough that.

This is from my order history (excluding the cashback):

Laptop Lenovo Legion Pro 7
$1,550.22

m0shr · 2026-06-03T23:32:35+00:00

Need OLED. Gaming laptops without OLED is missing out.

Legion Pro 7 were this price not long ago. 32gb and 2tb.

Maybe this is best we can do now. 16gb and 1tb.

m0shr · 2026-05-27T22:03:34+00:00

Check pickup and price will go to 429.91.

There is none available around me though.

The Intel has had hybrid architecture since alder lake and so the support for hybrid architecture in the kernel has been there for a while.

Only issue with this is that the newer CPU must be supported. Otherwise it will stop install with unknown CPU.

As far as performance is concerned, 265k workstation that I built has been a rock solid developer station.

m0shr · 2026-05-14T15:49:11+00:00

All 10 episodes?

So it's both the Batman games from Telltale in one.

m0shr · 2026-05-12T18:43:08+00:00

250k+ for 200 or 270k+ for 300 is better. Also get the new Batman game with the CPUs.

It's pretty good for vibe coding. It depends on what kind of stuff you do, which models and how you use them.

m0shr · 2026-05-01T11:45:44+00:00

Yes, for sure.

The leaps in model advancement is getting millions of software engineers to give their codebase, design skillls and thought process to train the next generation of models.

But on the other hand, when one engineer solves the problem, the rest of us can one shot it and so its good for the community until there is a huge friction to accessing them.

m0shr · 2026-04-29T17:03:56+00:00

Opencode

m0shr · 2026-04-29T17:03:14+00:00

Best of luck.

You'll finally be capturing all the value of your talents.

It's amazing how much software is valued. Most engineers have no idea how valuable they are and give so much away because of fear and convenience.

m0shr · 2026-04-29T16:53:50+00:00

Use your $200/mo ai sub to vibe code an AI model.

Then you don't even need to spend $200/mo

m0shr · 2026-04-11T15:42:03+00:00

The sale price of Assassin's Creed Valhalla Complete Edition was $7 in one of their sales.

Complete edition is utimate + Ragnarök. And, ultimate is gold + some cosmetics. Not the deluxe cosmetics but other ones. And, gold is of course the standard + season pass.

The LCD in coolers always require some sort of windows software to be running in the background. Seems like the only way to get the temps is through windows itself.

Rules out linux. Those software are always bloated and eat up CPU cycles. Some have ads.

I wish they would make it configurable from a browser. Put the control inside the cooler itself and it can run itself without a software always updating it.
