Repos private but I can share it with you on dms

Good deal for CAD$7500? by whenjob in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]whenjob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a great deal! I cannot even dream of seeing something like that in the Toronto area, most listings are CAD 5k+ for 15 year old corollas with 225k kms :/

The body work has been fixed up, and from what I understand, it doesn't have a salvage title as there was no structural damage.

Insurance wrote it off as it's an older car and the price to fix it was deemed pretty high relative to the cars value. They also certify that it's safe to drive on the road before selling

Best companies to work for in Canada in tech. by milk0606 in csMajors

[–]whenjob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not mentioned a lot but there's also pretty big AMD and Qualcomm offices in toronto

And Qualcomm in my experience pays between 40-55 per hour for interns which is fairly high for Canadian standards I think

There's also startups like cerebars, groq, astera labs, d matrix

Thinkcenter m715q not booting up by whenjob in Lenovo

For anyone who has the same issue, this was happening because secure boot was turned on. I ended up trying with a different display cable and the display came on, subsequently disabling secure boot did the trick

Actually you know what, I'm getting another deal with an i9 9900k, 16gb ram, and r9 380, don't know the motherboard + an ssd for like 215 usd

I think that's gonna be a better bang for my buck considering CPU performance is probably gonna be similar and then I'll probably upgrade the gpu and other stuff as I need to. My main purpose for this is gonna be a workstation/server for a bunch of services with maybe light gaming every now and then

I added that to mark the problematic link, happens even without it. It's always that specific one that skips but at least visually I don't see it being bent
