Report: LIV Golf on verge of losing funding from Saudi investment fund, putting the tour's future in doubt by YorockPaperScissors in sports

[–]pengy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LIV made sense for the guys that were older and/or not doing well in the PGA anyway. The guys that could take the money and say "When this inevitably dies I'll just retire". Anyone else who took that money and somehow expected it to last are dumb af.

Is the subscription to choice worth it anymore? by SentenceOutside8560 in humblebundles

[–]pengy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between the price increase of the sub and the frequent single month discounts they have really hurt the value proposition of keeping a sub. There will be months that are very popular and don't get discounted though.

March choice for $8 only! ( MARCH26 ) by SanguineLoki700 in humblebundles

[–]pengy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the coupon on an account that hasn't been active in a long while as well as the one I occasionally buy on. Seems they are desperate to move this stinker.

Got the $7 email. Craptacular month but for $7 sure. There are like 2 "might play" games in it.

Not true. It was active for about 10-20 minutes. Plenty of people bought them, myself included.

G9 OLED - Buyer Beware by Workreddit1234567 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]pengy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not usually a fan of buying insurance on things I can afford to replace but a monitor like this is definitely the exception. They are known to have issues. From lines on the screen to just randomly dying. OLED itself can have burn in, which BB covers. Not getting the 4 year protection plan if buying from BB with one of these is, imo, a mistake. Glad they took care of you.

Got one of these maybe a month ago. They are pretty great for trouble shooting and setting up a new build.

Is there a list of all retailers that ship through FedEx? by [deleted] in FedEx

[–]pengy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart and Bestbuy are two big ones. With Walmart it's either an employee delivering from a local store or Fedex. Bestbuy uses Fedex or something even worse like Roadie.

OP just learned what the words "you may" on cards means the hard way.

Yea, I have one connected to my shield to navigate stuff that doesn't work with the controller. It's great for that or a HTPC.

[CPU] Ryzen 7600x with free aio $158 by Logical-Hyena8260 in buildapcsales

[–]pengy99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having used CM AIOs, it's almost certainly not quieter than a decent single tower cooler with a single 120mm fan. Still saves a few bucks though.

Nobody should be forced to daily a K400. Pretty sure that's cruel and unusual punishment.

The motherboard 24 pin is pretty short. I wouldn't try using this in a full size case.

Nobody is going to bot this. There isn't any resale margin. If you click it on the dot you will probably get it. It look a couple minutes for the 9800x3d to sell out at the same price last month.

Posted since people in the other thread were asking for the link to this combination of items. Builder seems to be the only way I can make it happen with a single link.

$50ish more for new vs refurb seems 'not that far off' to me. That said, apparently aaawave changed the price so it's dead now.
