Okay so I'm not sure exactly how to word this question but, hopefully some of you will understand. If an object in Canada is purchased by someone living in USA, and has taxes applied to it through customs... What if: a) Someone in Canada purchases that object and brings it along with him to USA? b) Someone in Canada purchases that object and ships it by courier to USA? c) Someone in US goes to Canada to receive that object and brings it back with him? Also, is there any other scenario that I'm missing out here. If so, what would happen in that case? Preferably a scenario in which you don't have to pay customs/tariffs/taxes

I'm trying to get together some people to play Call of Duty with. I mostly play black ops 3 and CoD 4 remaster, but I do have other titles too. If anybody's interested then hit me up with a friend request and message on Steam. Thanks Steam profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Kurt42/

Looking at ordering some stuff off https://www.amazon.co.uk in the next few weeks and was wondering if anyone knows what the charges will be after October 31st 2019 ? Just in case I don't order the stuff in time Thanks Ben

I am wondering what if any verbage the shipper and/or receiver could use to mitigate duty cost on items that the receiver is just reviewing.

Hi All, Has anyone had any experience of buying a gpu from the US/Canada and having it delivered to them in the UK? I'm interested to know what import tax was like as the value of a new high end GPU in the states is so much lower than the UK. Would it be worth paying the import duty to make a saving? I get warranties and returns might not be valid, but I'd be interested to see the mark up.

Hello all! Just looking for a little reassurance I guess more than anything haha! So, yesterday I began to have intermittent issues with both my TV and Monitor (Both connected concurrently) disconnecting intermittently. I could get the image back by fiddling with the cables at the back of my PC so I had assumed a cable had a break somewhere initially. But then I thought, why would both monitors be disconnecting due to a faulty cable? Surely both the DVI and the HDMI cable can't have gone bad at the same time? The next time the displays cut out, I unplugged the HDMI lead altogether. This immediately restored connection to the DVI based monitor. Puzzled, I reconnected the HDMI lead and hey presto, the DVI monitor disconnected again. This immediately gave me alarm bells, as if the HDMI connector was shorting out the whole I/O of the card. I disconnected the HDMI lead and left it disconnected. After closer inspection I could indeed see a broken-off slice of plastic inside the end of the male HDMI plug on the cable. So I pulled my PC and checked the back of the card and yup, the plastic piece from the center of the socket has snapped and partly sheered away. Leaving 6/7 exposed pins. These pins are not bent or touching each other as is. I am guessing the super heavy duty HDMI lead I am using to connect to my PC across the room has bent and snapped this port over time. (My card is a release model and has been connected like this since then). My question is, Would anyone here know if there is much risk of further damage to the card with me continuing to use it with the damaged HDMI port? (With nothing connected to it) Like, If I just get a DP to HDMI adapter for the TV do you guys/gals think I'll be golden?

Hey, I've got a 1060 6GB that's been overclocked plus an i7 3770 (non-K) with 16gb of DDR3 1600mhz ram. 144hz 1080p monitor. My question is as follows; how well should this perform in modern titles? I really struggle to run modern warfare ground war well, even with everything on low.. I would've thought this would perform better, as of now I've got anywhere from 40-100 fps on groundwar, but maps like Krovnik farmland is almost unplayable because of the jittering. I've tried it with the stock clock and with various overclocks so it's not caused by an unstable overclock either. Other gamemodes work fine, but I'm still limited to low/ normal in order to have a decently playable fps for a "competitive" fps-shooter. If this hardware is actually too bad to play titles like modern warfare well, what would people reccomend as a budget-friendly upgrade option? CPU/ GPU? I've been pondering getting a new ryzen CPU, but that would ultimately lead to my 1060 being a bottleneck, so it would then need upgrading, as well as a new MOBO, ram etc.. This would ultimately become an expensive rabbithole.. :)

Hey guys, whenever I uninstall Call of duty 4 on PC and I always have to start from a new character, is there a program or server that boosts you to level 55 with all weapon unlocks and such? Most of the ones i've seen have trojans so much help is needed finding a clean method, thank you guys!

Just looking for a few decent players who have a mic and speak english to do some easter eggs with.

So i have noticed many people from surrounding area of Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and others play game Call of duty 4, or should i say, one mod called Kill the King. I play the mod myself and it is DAMN AWESOME, IF YOU HAVE COD4 TRY IT. So i create my home servers, i really dont like to pay for them, because you wont know how people make them for you, what goes into process of creating it and is it working properly, and OFC there is a big chance of people that are actually scamming those type of services, so, as i said, i create my own. So you can run servers directly from the call of duty 4 game which wont let you insert custom mods, and to make one WITH MODS, you must copy the whole fucking cod4 folder without mods and usermaps ones, you must just make folders of them because you really dont need to copy 30 gigabytes of map that you collected from years, same goes for mods. Now i downloaded ktk mod online and inserted it into mods folder, modded the cfg's and stuff like that. Now i needed to launch the server, for that you need to create a shortcut of iw3mp.exe and insert the path and variables into properties of the shortcut itself, here is what i pasted in shourtcut target: "C:\Users\racunalo\Desktop\Games\cod4 server\iw3mp.exe" +set fs_game "mods\BalkanKtkMod" +set dedicated 2 +exec general.cfg +map_rotate Text between " 's is the path of the server folder, +set is a command that force the game to complete the command, the fs_game mods just shows where my mod is located, +set dedicated 2 just say, HEY, dont launch as a game, launch as a dedicated server, exec command is a command to execute the cfg which in our case is GENERAL.CFG and it is located in main folder in folder of the server, otherwise it wont be executed. Map rotate is default command for default rotation of maps, lots of rotations there, now my server hated completing those commands on launching server, well just executing the cfg, so i had to manually exec the damn thing for it to work. Okay so here is the part where i really hate it. So you need to download those custom mods? Yes you do, so this is what happens to the people that want to join your server: Cod4's default download place is cod4 master server, and it obviously doesn't have the mod player needs, so master server will redirect you to some places with slow download speeds. A redirect will slow this, redirect is a term also know as FastFile download. Server owner needs to create a ftp server from which cod4 will directly download the mod which causes speed improvments up to 30 times, from 10 kilobytes you can jump to 400 and 1000 kilobytes per second! That is what player want because he doesnt want to download a 65 megabyte mod at 10 kbps, right? So on Braxi forums (braxi is a girl that created this mod, yes, A GIRL) many people suggested serversfree.com ftp hosting or something like that, i dont have money so i signed up and created a place from which cod4 should download the damn mod. So in main_php or something like that i created a folder "cod4" and inside those i create two folders called "mods" and "usermaps" in mods i played the 2 mod files that user needs to download, i assigned the cfg to download from the place : http://cod4redirectserverktk.bugs3.com/cod4 so server already knows about mods located in mods folder and maps in usermaps one so i didnt list the full directory, and i tried, still didnt work. Here is the full thing from general.cfg // Client Downloadsettings (0=off/1=on) set sv_allowdownload "1" seta sv_wwwDownload "1" set sv_wwwbaseurl "http://cod4redirectserverktk.bugs3.com/cod4" seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0" so i setted the allowdownload and wwwdownload option to on and i left the last one off cause with it the thing wont download. So my players join the game and they get redirected from master server to this ftp and try to download the damn mod, and it "downloads" 15 and 65 meg files in 1 second like it already was, and it fucks up your game and gives you a error: fastfile for zone "mod" is corrupt or unreadable PLEASE HELP, what did i set wrong in here?
