  1. did you just keep trying? I just get a 504 Gateway error anytime I've tried.
  2. another Freezer Burn competition with cheap hardware pls
  3. Might be right, the only time sellers were uncooperative after eBay stepped in for me was if their accounts got banned, but I got to keep the item and got a refund ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  4. like @pioneerisloud said, doesn't matter if they say they don't accept returns. Contact the seller, ask for a return, and when/if he says no go to the "Resolution Center" and open a support ticket with eBay. They make you wait a week (IIRC) before you can ask them to step in but when they do they ALWAYS side with the buyer and they make the seller pay for return shipping, too. Just take photos of the item before you ship it back so they can't say you damaged it/swapped it. if the seller is uncooperative they'll forcefully take the money back from the seller and you get to keep the item. I don't sell on eBay for that reason anymore, but buying is a non-issue.
  5. I just sold a RX 580 8GB (that I bought in 2019 for $179) for $300 and apparently I gave him a deal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  6. whatever you do don't take penny advice from @iamjanco
  7. to be honest I'm more excited to see how the crap Kingston SODIMM I'm carrying over from my NUC OCs, but I assume the 4750G is a similar story to the "locked but not really" 200GE ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  8. my HTPC (i3 8109u) does everything I use it for just fine ... so I dunno why, but Asrock X300W + Ryzen 5 4650G:
  9. monitor arm! since the stand on my PG329Q is approximately one square mile won't be here until tomorrow though
  10. the only configuration it requires is setting a manual IP and gateway in TCP/IP settings for the 10 GbE NICs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  11. the MiktroTik CRS305 is pretty unbeatable @ ~$120 USD but it's SFP+, if you're looking for RJ45 then about the only thing even relatively cheap is the Nighthawk SX10 but it's only got 2 ports and costs twice as much. I thought about both but never gave them a go, though. if you have spare hardware laying around, why not throw in an Intel X540 or a Broadcom 57810S and make a switch? I'm doing that with my NAS, it doubles as my 10 GbE switch. If you need/want more 10 GbE ports later, throw in a 2nd/3rd/20th card later. The X540s can be had (used) under $100 and the 57810S are under $40 (used), both come in either SFP+ or a RJ45 flavor. I got 4 57810S for under $100 shipped and an X540 for $70 not that long ago but the 57810S don't play nice outside Windows Server or Linux. you can either go the pfSense route and be the incarnation of r/homelab or be lazy (like me) and stick with Windows. I have it set up so that the only time the 10 GbE portion of network is being used is when I'm accessing my NAS, otherwise it uses the onboard NIC and goes through my router. That way when/if my NAS goes offline the rest of my network doesn't lose internet. Just put the NIC on a different subnet and IP range and set the gateway of each NIC on a machine to the IP of the NIC it's attached to on the other end.
  12. first game that makes me feel like I need to upgrade my 1080 Ti "Following the River" (from the cop) and the "Dream On" missions (from the politician couple) are better than any of the story missions, fwiw
  13. have you already looked into the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC? I just found out about it today, half the price of the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro ($230) but 2GB RAM less RAM. it looks skeptically good for the price. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10415&idPhone3=10437&idPhone2=10385
  14. Maybe look at Pixels if the camera is a huge selling point? the only Pixel that costs relatively similar is the Pixel 4a and it's a downgrade pretty much everywhere but the camera compared to the Nord ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  15. care to elaborate on what it's for or are we not cool enough to know?
  16. don't tell me what to do Google-Fu agrees with you though. Hoping it's not another Radeon VII situation (make 10 cards, sell out instantly, never restock) though. Hardware Unboxed's video made me skeptical.
  17. first thing you should do on any install is disable AeroShake doesn't have to be done through PowerShell but it can
