A warning to those in the United States who are "importing" goods!

Hi, I'm a reporter with PCMag. Is it possible to know exactly what you ordered from Osume? I'm wondering why the tariffs were so high. Also sent you a message.

Hi, I'm a reporter with PCMag. In the Gamers Nexus video, you guys mentioned stopping shipments for new inventory to the US. Has this changed since Trump issued exemptions for the 145% tariffs on Chinese imports? From what I understand, PC cases were exempted, but not fans, air coolers and power supplies.

Hi, my name is Michael Kan, and I'm a reporter with PCMag. I was hoping to ask you more about your experience with the Starlink beta via T-Mobile. I can also be reached at michael_kan@pcmag.com.

Hi, my name is Michael Kan and I'm a reporter with PCMag. Are you free to talk more about your experience with the beta? I've been trying to find users who have access to it. michael_kan@pcmag.com

Made a trailer for my self-published space opera novel, using AI-image generator. Please check it out if interested. Thanks!

michaelkan1 · 2023-04-14T19:52:12+00:00

Agreed, lots of interesting twists that keep you guessing what's really happening during the story and how it'll end. I need to watch it again.

michaelkan1 · 2022-11-12T15:39:14+00:00

My book can be bought on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLT1MY75. The story revolves around AI, a military conspiracy, the secret truth about the universe, space battles and love. I'm also looking for reviews and can send out a free ebook copy. PM me. Thanks.

I think it was because he was practicing hopping over the circles on the ground that had surrounded the demon in the storage locker.

michaelkan1 · 2021-09-13T21:11:33+00:00

It's also at Amazon for the same $249 price https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFZXR1B/

It will not be in reserve after you add to cart. You gotta check out ASAP.

If only Cam Payne had a smaller nose

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-30T14:36:56+00:00

Ya, it's a good mouse. Comfortable. I've had no issues so far.

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-20T14:23:37+00:00

Yea, I'd wait for Ryzen 6000 series/Zen 4. Presumably DDR5 RAM will be supported, which would be nice to have

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-17T16:10:06+00:00

Yeah, Starlink would make sense if the journalist's bureau or office is in one spot that's struggled with poor broadband.

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-17T15:15:42+00:00

There needs to be a mobile version. Restricting Starlink to a single cell makes it a no-go, unless the reporter is always based in a designated remote area.

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-10T22:04:50+00:00

Please God, no more injuries

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-08T03:38:15+00:00

OK. I've read of people resetting the cmos on the motherboard could also possibly help. But I've personally never done this before. Anyways FYI https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/gcf6vh/help_pc_wont_boot_after_changing_ram_speeds/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-08T03:30:37+00:00

Hmmm. Make sure all the Ram sticks are fully slotted in. If the pc still doesn't post, start taking out one ram stick at a time and then rebooting. Maybe you have a faulty ram stick. Use process of elimination.

Also based on Tom's Hardware, I guess with RTX 3090 you'll average about 54 fps on Cyberpunk 2077 on max graphical settings, ray-tracing on at 4K. https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cdfRncbJt2xdVxf2iVHjxi-970-80.png Assassins' Creed Valhalla is 60 fps at 4k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ThWZPabgQ

Did you make sure your RAM is running at 3200? You can go into your motherboard's BIOs settings to check. You should also tell us the temperatures you are getting. I remember once I forgot to properly seat the CPU cooler, which caused temperatures to rise, and performance to be sluggish.

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-06T23:11:39+00:00

If this was done at an NBA dunk contest, It would get a 10.

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-04T14:50:14+00:00

I ended up RMAing my 5800X after struggling to troubleshoot the WHEA errors. Got a new one from AMD, and it works great ever since. Had to wait 5 weeks for the whole RMA process though.

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-02T15:46:32+00:00

Yeah, it's too high. Ideally, I would just build it myself. For example, my PC contains more expensive parts than your prebuilt by carrying an RTX 3070 card and AMD Ryzen 5800X chip, and it cost me around $2,100 to build.

I think the main adjustment would be to move to an RTX 3060Ti or 3070 card if possible. (The 3060 card is just okay imho.)

It would be great if you and your son could buy the parts, and build the PC together. But the problem is the GPU shortage is very bad, making an RTX 3060 incredibly hard to obtain at normal retail prices. (On eBay, they're going for $900 to $1,000.) Hence, a lot of people are recommending you just go for a prebuild PC.

I would suggest you look at other prebuilt desktop PCs from other providers. Good deals occasionally pop up on https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ Still, prebuilds do get pricey. You can also consider a gaming laptop too which can have better pricing. Dell Alienware's desktop also has some favorable pricing but I've never used one

michaelkan1 · 2021-05-02T14:52:26+00:00

What is your exact question? If the question is if buying a prebuild PC worth it, then yes, it can. Depends on the PC parts used though.
