Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Do you like beer? Odell and New Belgium are both a seven-minute drive from my home.
I pay $70/month for a gig up, a gig down, no data cap, the router, and local (that's 'Murican-speaking) support.
Grateful for our municipal broadband. Comcast spent millions lobbying against it but failed, thankfully.
The fleecing will continue as long as half of America is too distracted by bullshit culture war nonsense to demand effective government.
Depending on your level of desperation, I've been somewhat consistently finding less-than-terrible prices at Walmart. In the last three months, I've picked up 10TB Toshiba N300 Pros for $238, 12TB Toshiba N300 Pros for $268, 4TB WD My Passports for $109, and 2TB WD Blues for $68. These were all...
I don't, but if I put together another system with MC combo parts my wife will have me committed for it.
Bump because I believe you're correct about inevitable, continued price increases.
I have some vague, fuzzy memory of a great sci-fi short story that revolved around fiefdoms that controlled old garbage dumps, and generated their wealth from salvaging shit we threw away.
Closer to topic, AMD is raising prices on its GPU bundles 10% this month.
I'll be damned, the three I ordered shipped yesterday and were just delivered. Just in time for my SteamOS box! If you're local to the Front Range or southern Wyoming, happy to sell you one at cost ($596).
Thirding. I picked up a bunch of < $140 Ryzen 5 9600X and Core Ultra 5 225 CPUs. Still have plenty of 16GB DDR5 kits and 1TB SSDs from prior years' sales. I mostly build entry-level 1440p gaming rigs and have enough parts now for another dozen or so of those.
