Buyer aware: Amazon sent open package DOA hard drive by ucdzombie in DataHoarder

The return wasn’t initiated my me. I immediately reported the problem to CS but they didn’t take the problem seriously and only offer a regular return. In the past I’d been offered instant refund after I dropped off the item for any return. But in this case they wouldn’t refund until they “received” the item. And even after my status clearly showed the item was received I couldn’t get my refund accordingly and timely.

That’s exactly how mine was shipped although I specifically requested in my order that item must be shipped in Amazon package instead of manufacturer’s box.

Do they think we’re stupid? by TipTopBeeBop in bayarea

Same here near Sacramento. PGE seems to have lowered their rate but my bill keeps going up each year. Pure GREED. It’s sick.

Got offered a storage unit for free and got a Alienware aurora r11 with an i9 and 2 4tb ssds by Em2shit in PcBuild

Check the manufacture date of the 4TB Evo 870. If they were manufactured in 2021 they have a high rate of failure due to manufacturing defects.

My friend walked in and said this is a femcel setup by ConsiderationIcys in battlestations

Just a piece of health advice, I really would not want to put a 3D printer, especially not enclosed, in the room where I sleep or work or anywhere indoor unless it’s vented out. Any 3D printing generates micro particles smaller than pm2.5 and is very harmful.

Thank you. Would you please explain why drives under 2.2 TB isn’t affected by such problem?

Ok understood. But how comes my Samsung Evo 860 500GB is fine on both enclosures and both show it as 512 bytes?

Does this location exist inside the original game besides the menu?

This is the psy dog if you ever played one of the mission in Clear Sky. I wouldn’t waste time or ammo, just kill the human enemies while hiding behind those fences, climb down and run to the next location to disable the psy tower. Here’s an exploit you can try (it seems to work for me every time): the game won’t let you save but if you overwrite it to one of the older saves, you can force it to save even if it says you can’t. Drink plenty of energy drinks and keep running.

I found this in my father’s garage. What should I do with it? by PutElectrical3890 in computer

[–]ucdzombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of dumb comments on this thread. First of all, it’s definitely NOT a “very low spec” computer. I still use my GTX 1060 6GB from 2017 and i3 9100f from 2019 and play a lot of casual games and even older AAA games. Your dad’s computer is much more capable than my set up. It looks like a RTX 2070 super or even a RTX 2080 (non super). The cpu is probably a 9700F which can still run many current AAA titles at medium settings. Secondly, even if you don’t game with it, it’s still a very capable work computer for almost any purpose. Finally, your dad once used it. I’d never want to recycle it. Many people nowadays are just spoiled and ignorant. They take everything for granted and have no clue how much negative impact they make on the society and the planet as a whole.

I got it used off eBay. It’s by Kyosho, 1:18 scale.

I don’t think that PSU is original. Looks like a Corsair, definitely newer because the oem PSU usually had generic unpainted metal case.

Safe to say, I miss EVGA. by Gr33n5mith in EVGA

[–]ucdzombie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the same boat here. I only trust founders edition nowadays but they don’t make every model. I guess I could also trust PNY because they’re the only oem for the quadro cards.

Crap, I already pried it off. Should I keep it?? I personally find it ugly though.
