My Dad got me the LC-GC-3 for 250 CHF (Swiss Francs) aka My new Gaming Chair:

These instructions were lack lustering. Good thing I've watched a ton of videos in the past on how to build these Chairs. 

And finished product:

I can go back with the Back rest to about 55 degrees but not make it completely flat like you can with a Maxnomic for example.

NGL, going through sh!tpost withdrawal atm.
(Might just be the caffeine withdrawal though.)

We will make a new mod thread.  One full of birbs fornicating on the heads of documentarians.  It will be wonderful.

Summary
The launch of the GeForce RTX 3080 will be remembered as the worst launch of graphics cards. The nonexistent stock has been depleted in a matter of minutes, sometimes seconds. It was confirmed that scalpers have used bots for ordering, even from the official NVIDIA store.
 
Meanwhile, board partners expect thousands of units to be shipped worldwide soon. Despite very limited stock and due to an error, Amazon Germany took preorders for ZOTAC RTX 3080 Trinity. Almost 20 thousand preorders have been submitted, even though the company did not have this many cards for sale.

The company announced on Twitter that the orders may need to be canceled, otherwise weeks of waiting time is to be expected. (See quote below)
 
In Germany the cheapest models, such as ASUS TUF, which debuted at 699 EUR is now not available for less than 799 EUR, ComputerBase reports. Those who order the cards may want to wait for them to be fulfiled, otherwise, a much higher order price is too be expected.
 
The Trinity RTX 3080 model from ZOTAC tested by reviewers has been seen to perform 1-3% slower than NVIDIA Founders Edition. Over the weekend, ZOTAC US staff posted a very unfortunate comment on Reddit, revealing that this is by design:
They later provided a “clarification” which I don’t care for and won’t add here. They said what they wanted to say; they are changing it after the fact because of the backlash they received.

My thoughts
As more news trickles out about the 3000 RTX series, Nvidia keeps looking worse. They not only misrepresented the performance of their cards with the “twice the performance of 2080 TI” but also played everyone from consumers to tech journalists. The main selling point of the 3000 RTX series was their price and they knew how many they had in stock for the launch; so why would they launch with so little inventory? And I have a couple of theories:
They were in the process of acquiring ARM and wanted to present some good will to regulators around the world to get the deal approved by “launching” new products at lower prices. If regulators in the US and UK had a pulse they wouldn’t let this deal go through but... Nvidia wanted to launch before AMD, the PS5, and the Xbox. And it’s been all everyone talks about I personally reached out to a retailer about 3080 availability and this is what they told me:


—————UPDATE—————
For people who didn’t know, Amazon Germany listing was open to international buyers. I personally had a chance to order from them but decided not to bc the warranty was not international. However, a lot of people in North America who couldn’t buy the cars here, chose to order it internationally.
