    Micro Center 2700X - $139, 3600 - $149 (In-store only)

    The amusing thing is that in the 90s and 00s, Micro Center had terrible prices and policies. It was where you went to find 'miscellaneous' stuff, and the only thing that really set them apart is that for the longest time they had 30-day returns on *software*. Sometime between then and now...

    Also, that drive is only 'faster' when plugged into an X570 board since the speed comes from PCIe 4.0. Plug it into a 3.0 board and you ~might~ get maybe 100MB/sec more.

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind this either - as well as foreknowledge of whether the jump means 22.x is destructive like 11.x to 12.x was.

    Supposedly the 12.3 F/W isn't destructive *unless* you're upgrading to it from 11.x. But that shouldn't be an issue unless you bought *very* early on.

    HOT ! Various 1TB NVMe with coveted E12 Controller $135 aprox retail

    It's OOS at the Fairfax and Rockville store, but the Parkville/Baltimore store still has a few in stock and ready for in-store pickup. These are really desirable items, and if I remember, MCs get their new shipments on Tuesdays, so check tomorrow or Wednesday, since their website stock...

    Again, a reminder for those who can hit up B&M stores - the RetailMeNot $5 off $30 coupon is still valid. Just Google RetailMeNot Micro Center and print it out. Maybe, but raw R/W speed is one thing - the holy grail is an affordable Optane/Z-NAND solution that not only has extremely high R/W...

    MC tends to do this with items when the stock gets low - keep checking back periodically.

    80% off Lego Millennium Falcon

    To be fair, the 2700X 50AE comes with Division 2 Gold, which has an MSRP of ~$100 (at least until the exclusivity period ends). So if you were planning on buying that *and* a 2700X (which is dumb given how soon the Ryzen 2s will be launching), it's not as *much* of a ripoff.

    80% off Lego Millennium Falcon

    This isn't normally $400 - it's normally $800. And ~free shipping~ on a Lego kit where the box weighs 30 pounds? Yeah, no. It should also say a lot that it says "Secure with PayPal" and then never provide a way to use them. This would be too cheap by ~$200 even if it was a Chinese "Lepin"...

    No reason to go through Amazon at all when Micro Center's still selling the whole range of drives via their Web Store: https://www.microcenter.com/product/600422/1tb-3d-nand-m2-2280-pcie-nvme-30-x4-internal-solid-state-drive (just be sure you're buying the right drive - check the packaging...

    They've yet to hit retail channels. My guess is they released too early and Seagate's having the entire line updated to 12.2 so they don't have to explain to consumers that there's a destructive firmware update they have to do.

    Yeah, if you don't get a blister pack with a black backing, Micro Center packed the wrong drive. Also, for those who can get it at a B&M store, RetailMeNot still has a valid $5 off $30 coupon good until 4/30 to absorb some of the sales tax. I've already got a BPX Pro that I flashed with 12.1...

    Facebook Is Allegedly Working on Custom Machine Learning Hardware

    I honestly think instead of murdering us all, the AI that eventually will enslave humanity will have more in common with ARIIA from the movie Eagle Eye than SkyNet.
