  • the orange box wasnt released along side any steam hardware? that i can recall at least.

  • Nah, it'd bring prices crashing down as the market gets flooded with all the used hardware from the AI data centers being cleared out and auctioned off in bulk lots by bankruptcy courts and debt collectors, leading people to buy them by the truck loads and put on ebay for pennies on the original retail dollar.

  • Orange Box 2, Which is a computer and contains no sequels to anything that was in The Orange Box

  • Which isnt unprecedented.. they did the same thing with Alyx and Index, didnt they?

  • Yep. Have no reason to trust it does what it says it does. Only way to prove that is for someone to dig into the browser while its running to debug/investigate/etc, things that are way above most peoples capability.

    and even if it does what it says it does, no reason to believe that it wont default to on with the next update.

  • cause farmers markets are fake.

    Its nothing but assholes buying shit wholesale from the same distributors that your supermarket gets their shit from (at much higher prices due to not having the super markets favor of volume), then pretending to be some salt of the earth farmer man/woman trying to get you to buy fruit and veg they "hand grew and loved".

  • the problem is they mingle stock from every source into one pile with no discernable way to identify what came from where.

  • the exploding power supplies forced into bundles are what keep me away. cant return the catastrophically failed PSU without returning everything else, either. total scam.

  • Newegg is a fucking open septic pit.

    Fred sold it off to some chinese acquisition company and its almost a fucking scam now at this point.

  • amazon has been getting less generous with the returns for years now.

    Especially if you have more than a few returns per year.

  • Yes. If you sell on amazon, and have amazon fulfill the shipping.. you ship your stuff to amazon, and its just put in teh big pool with all the other items of the same kind.

    Even returns get put back into the pool.

    its the absolute most pants on head stupid fucking way possible to manage inventory to the point that shit like this seems almost intentionally designed for rather than a consequence of.

    Which is why anytime you order anything from amazon, you should record the entire box to show its untampered with, then film the entireity of the opening and confirming everything inside is actually inside.

    THere was a famous case of a guy who bought a 10 thousand dollar camera and got a box of rocks, and amazon sent him a replacement and got a box of bricks, before finally getting the camera on the 3rd try.. I think recording his second opening saved him from having amazon call him a scammer.

  • Sounds like people need to flood the line with pictures of conservative women.

  • I just find it hilarious that the top/right/left toolbar was possible in windows 95/98/ME

    but its to much of a technical problem to do today.

    I guess thats what you get with AI doing all your coding..

  • I'm on linux because of Microsoft

  • If numbers and statistics worked, People would have dropped this AI bullshit 6 months ago.

  • Thats good to know.. before finding out about that just now, I thought Scepter was the only brand left that made dumb TVs.

  • Why should AI have to pay taxes when we have an ever increasing pool of poors, thanks in large part to AI taking their jobs, to increase the taxes on.. in order to fund AI and to give tax breaks to the trillionaires?

    and because there is inevitably going to be someone who fails to understand sarcasm, the heaviest of /s

  • Sorry for the delay, It was something I only saw in passing so I was not entirely right on what i said, They admitted to giving trump flattering numbers, not false numbers, which slightly increased the difficulty of trying to find it.

    I will also edit my previous point to correct my mistake.

    They feed him only good, happy numbers, so he thinks everything is going wonderfully. Hes basically still living in the sycophantic yes man bubble that he has his entire life.

  • One of his people basically admitted on TV..yesterday? I think? That they feed trump fake flattering numbers to keep him happy.
