  1. Seems kinda high for an old phone like that. I haven't heard any issues; I have an S20 and it's been great.
  2. I think a lot of people have the desire but not the ability. For example this group has programing knowledge, clearly the tools required with the mechanical eptitude, and one owns a bar, so they're good with money and likely have some to spare for the cause. Their friend is also the one affected. Seems like everything lined up.

    Haha no it's more of a black and grey theme. We don't even know if she'll like using Stable Diffusion. It's an RTX 3060. Nothing fancy but it has the VRAM needed.
  4. It's sad when my gf's yearly bonus for making sales goals is the same as my monthly one 😂 and at a job I work at part time.. 

  5. All the parts are ordered for my gf's AI generation build. I think this will probably be her first desktop PC 🤔

      I hope it's pink and has so many RGB LEDs that they consume more power than the GPU.

      What's the GPU?

    I was 100% going to buy one of the mock necks..…

    No, I'd rather not have a logo on it at all. This one makes little sense and it looks like a monogram. It's much closer to company merch that you'd get from working at company, than something you'd buy as a retail customer.
  7. They should absolutely be charged. They don't know it's a joke, they acted, which cost the fees it did. Only an idiot "jokes" about that in an airport. Simple case of fuck around and find out.

    The OnePlus 12 is a beast. It'll be interesting…

    Amazing screen, massive battery with actually impressive battery life, very snappy response, and it isn't packed with AI features which is personally a bonus for me as I'm not interested in them yet.

      No, it really won't be interesting and no one gives a shit. Change my mind. 😐

    Curry sausage? That sounds delicious.
  12. I was 100% going to buy one of the mock necks...until I saw the MA logo on the collar. Hard pass.

    I mean, I get it. Mac Address. But no one else is going to know what that means, so it's pointless branding that just detracts from the piece.

      why give a shit about a tiny logo? If people recognized it, cause it said LTT or something else, would you then buy it?

    There isn't one in mine either, but I didn't need one; it was all done by mail. Odd that your country makes it so difficult. Have you tried reaching out to LTT since it was there error to begin with?
  14. In the future, shorter posts are usually better. Most people aren't going to have the patience to read through all that, when you probably could have given the same information in half the length. Check out RTings for monitor reviews. They do them pretty well. So does Hardware Unboxed. Your CPU is going to be a major bottleneck.

    Time to start fresh again... Or at least about…

    I haven't switched to Windows 11 yet on my main PC, but I'm tempted.

    Fun fact, PTM7590 reduces your idle temperature…

    Interesting. Still not sure I'd move on to thermal pads, but nice to know they're effective.

    Did it do this with the last driver set? I'd maybe think about buying a 1050 or something off of Marketplace and using that in the meantime if your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics. How on earth does it take you that long to reinstall everything?
  18. He could sell the laptop he has and get one that would do what he wants. Easiest solution. Nothing about a jank eGPU set up is worth doing.

    Nice, not bad! I hope they release a version that uses regular sized bits at some point. Pretty odd that they don't have any kind of claim form you can file. I've been charged $1,800 in duty I wasn't meant to pay before, simply filed a form and had a cheque in the mail the next week. I'd imagine there must be something similar for your country.

    Yeah, I just can't really justify the price increase. I'll probably still end up getting one, but I might actually like the MegaPro driver more in the long run with it's bits. How long have you had them? Are they wearing pretty well? No deep gouges or anything? What did they declare it as? Sounds more like an issue with your country
  21. Their clothing doesn't look like anything special. They're likely just hoping to make a quick buck.
  22. Was really tempted to get the LTT Screwdriver, but ended up going with the MegaPro; half the price, around 85% of the performance (at least).

    Maybe if they discount it on Black Friday next year I'll grab one.

      There is, I emailed them my receipt. I havent even gotten a reply and this was months ago. There is also no customs office in my city and the nearest one is 400km drive (back and forth). I am fucked due LTT stores incompetency either way. Be it, gas and my time (and there is also no guarantees) or through taxes.

      Except when you have to pay 100% import tax because they cant declare the value of the package properly. I aint ever buying from ltt store again.

      Sounds like you got shafted!

  23. I found the changes in 23U to 24U some of the weakest tbh. I was expecting a lot more. The S24+ some substantial changes. I'd like to see Samsung put out a phone where they push the norms. They play too safe. OnePlus has caught my eye a lot more this year. Pushed the battery capacity up, and apparently their camera system this year is superb. Guess we'll find out next week, but I have a feeling my upgrade this year will be a OnePlus 12.
  24. He likely did pay that, however that doesn't make it worth much. A lot of the money spent was on water cooling components, which is never something you recoup the cost of. I wouldn't pay anywhere near that for the system, and honestly I wouldn't buy anything older than 5th gen Ryzen. I also wouldn't buy a custom water cooled PC that's just been sitting.

    DHL is by far the worst shipping company I have…

    They haven't been able to figure out their fuck up for almost 2 months, and they don't have a way to call them about it.
