    mr mans reacted to TacticianDaru in Should I Take NVIDIA Back?   
    This video honestly felt like a blow to LTT's integrity to me.
     
    A stark contrast with Gamer's Nexus review. Feels to me like GN is actually consumer focused, while LTT has been who-can-be-the-biggest-bidder focus. Honestly not knowing the price, and selling NVIDIA as a company with a "new and refreshing attitude" leaves me with a really bad taste in my mouth.

    GN blew this out of the water. Yeah let's compare the 3080ti to the 3090 instead of the 3080.

    mr mans got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in I found two old laptops from the 90s. How much might they be worth?   
    Depends on their condition. Early-mid 90's IBM Thinkpads in great condition are starting to fetch $200-$300+ prices

    mr mans got a reaction from dizmo in Buying a Used PC on ebay?   
    If it is clearly marked as used, then sure I don't see why not if the price is right. However if the price is similar to something new, then don't do it. Likewise, a lot of builders will list "new' gaming PCs that are put together from used parts, so make sure to read the description carefully and also ask questions. There's nothing wrong at all with used parts, but there is something wrong with listing something as NEW when it is actually USED. 
     
    Basically, if they are lying to you right at the start, then don't give them your business. If the seller is honest, then do it. I buy and sell a LOT on eBay so this all comes from personal experience.

    How about a fully functional IBM 5150 with Amdek 310A amber monochrome monitor? Behold the original PC in all its glory, running MS-DOS with 640 kb of memory:

    Got it connected to the real internet with native TCP/IP using the mTCP software and a ISA ethernet card. I can post on IRC chats, dabble in BBS channels, and even download files over HTTP. This thing predates the internet and is now online at nearly 40 years old. And typing on that buckling spring IBM Model F is just sublime.

    I'm not on floatplane, but does LTT on floatplane also use the same shitty thumbnails? I would legit rather pay LTT to not have to see that nonsense.
