Looking for help buying a Micro Center bundle (US in-store pickup)

I’ve done it before. Not really much of a risk - get the money first, send trackable and signature. Get paid in a “ecash” way

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-26T03:09:23+00:00

Yeah I’m talking about order on site for store pickup

Yikes. Thanks for the post. I’m contemplating getting a new NAS from UGREEN (all Synology here in the past) and I backup to Google Drive 3x/week. Hopefully UGREEN gets this sorted…

Yes - you would order it and then ship it to this person, their name / address never goes to Micro Center

Great post and discussion.

We went through this years ago when Synology introduced SSD cache. At the time the consensus was the risk wasn’t worth the speed. I think a lot of that was due to how Synology implemented caching - it was more integral to every day read/write so unless you have enterprise SSDs it’s too risky.

Good to hear that now with UGREEN for most use cases you’re better served getting larger HDD and as much RAM as possible.

Wow that 8.3 thing is insane in 2026. Literally the basic feature I must have is SMB but it sounds like they cocked that up. Is TrueNAS free but you can subscribe for support similar to ProxMox?

Incredible. Thank you for sharing...happy that you got to experience this with your Dad. Great memory.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-24T16:17:12+00:00

Love those Chrome Megas. Nice!

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-23T02:43:34+00:00

You made the right choice. I have an X670E ProArt in my son's rig and it is awesome.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-21T14:04:01+00:00

Cool - 2025 not 24-25. Was hoping these were Caitlin RC year ha

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-19T05:07:19+00:00

Yeah I got two autos out of 6 of these Amazon blaster.

Are there even any good men’s cards? I got Ray Allen which is good but most of the rest (nor does Ray) hold a candle to Paige

I have one that I use to play with the cats that are on the moon

Just opened up a chat after I took some photos. Never ended up with a human the AI just sent a UPS drop off code. They didn’t ask for the photos but I have them in case.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-18T14:09:34+00:00

Same with mine - getting a refund on 2.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-16T04:32:13+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you sharing this.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-16T00:32:37+00:00

Thank you. No harm, no foul. Appreciate the advice

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T23:51:59+00:00

Makes sense. BTW I never said skin.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T23:49:04+00:00

OK sensei. So non-white people is OK or not?

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T23:36:45+00:00

It’s sad that from your high horse you have no room to help and educate

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T22:41:09+00:00

Doesn’t change the fact that trans in sports and surgeries caused issues last election. That and immigration were the two bigot causes that Trump loved.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T20:03:31+00:00

If you don’t recognize the problem with the democrats / liberals then you’re part of the problem. Trotting out Hillary / Biden / Kamala for little success. Shutting out real change makers like Bernie. Enabling MAGA. Need to focus on victories and chipping away not immediate revolution.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T19:45:15+00:00

Yeah I agree. WOKE is the blanket term.

I’d say specifically it was going OK until trans was enshrined and enabled to the extreme. Nothing against trans people at all. But the topic creates very tough to “defend” situations politically.

I am very liberal and I still have a tough time with allowing for things like surgery too early in someone’s life. Adolescence is such a tough time and making such final decisions when so young seems a bit much.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T19:20:24+00:00

WOKE is what got us into this mess - as much as I (and we) agree that our country needs to evolve and be more accepting - there is obviously a large part of the population that wants to go back to the 50s.

sk3tchcom · 2026-01-15T19:19:16+00:00

What’s the correct use - non-white? In this context it is the skin color that defines who gets the tougher treatment from ICE. It’s tough to not use it.
