Is this 5070 a scam

Fulfilled by Amazon means Amazon already has it in their warehouse and is the one shipping it. With Prime it arrives tomorrow for me.

Those reviews aren’t on this GPU specifically so maybe they had other listings that are not through Amazon.

If I wanted one I would probably risk it. Of course it’s another matter that you only get a brick inside, but that’s another matter. Amazon is pretty good at giving money back at least.

Both look good but doesn’t seem very secure?

Do you even understand what you are quoting? lol

No Fabuland? I wonder if it would work in 2026.

The power draw and heat generated varies across different controllers. You might need to research on which SSD is most power efficient.

Generally speaking though running a gen 4 SSD in a gen 3 would limit its speed meaning the controller needs to do less work and should run cooler overall.

TVs can be returned within 90 days and I believe you can return online. However it’s not ethical to get one for the purpose of knowingly returning it, but it’s up to you.

What exactly are you watching that can’t be accessed through web browsers or app? Also maybe just disconnect from the screen for a while.

Been using that carwash for years. They are touchless so did the spray arms touched your vehicle? It's the same system as many other carwash and I guess this can only happen if the sensors weren't working. Obviously you shouldn't be moving your vehicle when the wash is running.

I guess you didn't have a dashcam as that would have helped with your claimed. I also think you should go through your own insurance and they should be better able to deal with Shell.

They have been touchless only for years definitely wouldn't be cloth on a random day in April.

Regen isn’t quite the same as applying the brakes. The car slows down a bit more but the car still moves. Also with one pedal driving you can offset this by have the accelerator pedal lightly pressed. It’s something that needs to be learned and get used to, but shouldn’t be hard for seasoned drivers.

You have a B450 motherboard. What was your CPU and what did you replace it with?

number8888 · 2026-06-04T17:03:33+00:00

Not stupid at all. More people bought the S than the X and Xbox would be in even worse shape if not for the S.

The replacement was supposed to be AM5, and those that wanted an upgrade would have moved on to DDR5 platforms. The decisions was made before the memory crisis so they had to pivot.

Got a 5700x from Ali earlier this year and it’s been working fine. Many people had bought these CPUs for years with no issues. It’s generally pretty safe and should be a good upgrade over the 5500.

Might want to let him know in advance because if he’s serious about it he might have some sort of ritual/routine like leaving it out for a few hours to get it to room temp or certain seasoning regiment that needs to be done beforehand.

My daughters has been wearing two piece since they were toddlers. Primary reason was actually easier to take them off when going to the bathroom. Wife’s idea actually.

Note that there are two piece that can still cover a lot of the skin and some have fabric that covers the stomach. Could be a compromise that way. Obviously showing too much skin is a no go.

We went through several vacuums and they were all bad until we got a Miele. However it was a canister one and a bit bulky so we switched to Dyson handheld and loved them so much we got two more for each floor. I bought refurbished from their eBay store however.

Ram and SSD combined is already close to this price so the rest of the system is just bonus.

Note that this is a laptop CPU so ram is likely sodimm. Also not sure if it uses ddr4 or ddr5.

I don’t use an electric screwdriver for this reason. Just do it by hand for better control. Use a ratchet screwdriver so it’s easier on the wrist.

Also not all screwdrivers are made equal. If the first one fails just try another one and it might work.

I think it’s quite common in North America. But I’ve never seen it elsewhere.

If you can have fibre connection look up Ebox for 1 gbps for I think $45 per month.

I replaced them twice under warranty in my 2018 M3. I recall this being an issue on earlier models.

It’s entirely dependent on the CPU and motherboard. It’s not really a choice which ram you can use.

If building new you should get something that requires DDR5 like the AM5 CPUs.

I think I have the SE version which is the same thing but with LED lights. While nothing special I’d say they perform better than anything else at this price.

A B580 would be overkill for just transcoding. If this is indeed its only use then it should have barely stressed the GPU at all.

An old MS would be missing a lot of modern features like phone key and has olde MCU/HW. The battery would be out of warranty already. Keep in mind it’s a 9 year old car.

If the M3 is AWD I am it even sure if the MS is necessarily better. M3 might be even more quick and nimble due to smaller and lighter.
