A typo

In the past I have used super backup & restore, I've successfully done this with at least two phone transfers. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1

Since we already established a tight budget, I still say look into a cloud solution first. Using your old systems as a backup, especially on raid 0, is very high risk with very little protection. You would need that backup in case the main array fails, so you would be extracting 100% of the data...

I use backblaze, have around 65tb with them. My arrays are using hardware raid, so on windows backblaze sees then as simple volumes so I can use their standard unlimited plan. With gigabit upload it doesn't take very long. Technically I should have another form of local storage, which I do have...

Not planning on running this in a rack, it will be sideways due to the space not having the needed depth for a rack with the oil tank in the way. The fan wall has got to go, the stock 80mm fans will be entirely unacceptable so if things don't seem supported I will have to add additional support...

I just bought 8x seagate 7200rpm 18tb drives to update my system, but I need to finally put everything in a proper case. I currently run two RAID 6 arrays on my Areca ARC-1883ix-16-2G via breakout sata cables, 8x hgst 5400 rpm 4tb & 8x wd 5400 rpm 8tb. The internals I want to keep is otherwise...

Here's my desktop, less impressive than the laptop but still holds its own well enough. 16gb x 2 3800mhz cl14 ram.

Asus Scar 17 2023 model 7945hx & mobile 4080, not too shabby:

You sure do. But if there are other people that also have it in their carts, whoever finishes checkout first wins. The issue is we don't know how many customers are trying for the same item, and how much stock a given store has. Could be 30 customers fighting over 2 cards, you never know. That...

Yes in that case, you are correct. The listed value has to be converted. I thought you meant you have to sell your eth/btc/etc at an exchange for fiat (incurring all those fees and the taxable event,) and then once that clears use your fiat to buy, that was the portion I was concerned with. Many...

That isn't true anymore. Here's the first obvious example I could think of, newegg https://kb.newegg.com/knowledge-base/using-crypto-on-newegg/

I did this with my original 4tb disk array, I expanded from 5 disks to 8. I would think it would be more dangerous to add one at a time, as it would have to re-calculate parity every time.

Last year I did the $50 box and got the following: An unknown pci gpu that had a damaged bracket. A 16gb stick of unknown ddr4, 2400 or 2800mhz. A mr world bluetooth speaker with a dead battery that works occasionally when plugged in but not at more than 2/3 volume. Would not do it again.

First time is always rough, I made my first hard tube loop last year. When you get more than one bend per segment the complexity skyrockets. What I found extremely helpful was to make some jigs using bricks, so I always had a 90 or two to bend against. I also had drawn out the distances I needed...

Yes, I do it and I suspect many more will now moving forward. But some cases have no adapter or setup for vertical, so this is something many others need to be aware of. I myself won't be buying a 4090, my 3090 will just have to suffice (one day I should update my sig.)

Best Buy offers me $15 for my lg v40. I know it's older and I wasn't expecting a lot, but really? Just say ineligible for trade in, that's an insult. 4 years old and still kicking so I guess I'll stay put.

Ahh so it was a height issue, oops. Thanks for clearing that up, I have been hearing the ridiculous height will be a massive problem for all but the largest cases.

Can you post a photo of the issue? Looking up the Asus 4090 Tuf Gaming, it's 348.2mm long https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-RTX4090-O24G-GAMING/techspec/ The Lian Li O11 Dynamic lists support for VGA Card up to 420mm...

With inflation I honestly expected the 4090 to be significantly more than the 1499 the 3090 launched at. Guess I was off base, but it looks like they plan to seriously close the gap we had between 3090 and 3080 pricing. All while making the lesser 4080 significantly lesser, so much so that it is...

Even with free electricity you are looking at far less than a dollar a day per card, and that requires you to hunt the currently best algo for your specific cards, so you're spending a lot of time tuning each one. Then an hour passes and something else is far better, so you have to change all...

My solar is being installed Wednesday. Sadly I missed the boat lol.

Running for another half hour or so then I am shutting them down before I go to bed. Hope over the next few weeks something emerges as profitable, but my electric is pretty high ($0.21/kwh) so they might stay off until winter where I can use them to heat my basement vs the regular electric heater.

Last I knew they changed the terms to revoke any discounts you received during your membership if cancelled before 1 year, which would reduce your refund or even leave you owing more.

Yeah I know, but if you search for msi 3070 ti on best buy's site, it comes up under search as sold out but clicking on on the search result brings you to the broken page. I wonder if BB disabled it because their site was getting too much traffic after they sold out?

It was a good deal for someone actively looking, and it was a 3070 ti for less than 3070 fe msrp. It sold out.

You didn't comprehend what I said, if your kneejerk reaction is horse shit. It is a fact, that 3060 tis have been very available in the last few weeks. That bloomberg article does not address anything related to purchasing of cards, just speculation. Most cards now have multi year break evens...

The 3060 ti has been available quite a lot at best buy the last few weeks, for hours and hours per drop. EVGA just seems to not include them in the sales, or nvidia isn't giving them more of those chips. They probably have way too many of the left over 2k series round 2 nvidia churned out...

Just list the resolution. All these games need to stop. I agree once we had multiple aspect ratios, all these shorthand versions became useless.

I think even with mining interest basically dead, the scalpers have noticed and aren't about to look the other way. I suspect through the holiday season at least, it will be a scalpers only paradise. It's still a highly desirable item they can monopolize the stock of, it's not like nvidia will...

6600 is $250, 6600xt is 299+. 6700 xts are also in the $430 range from a quick search. It's a messy field right now, but don't forget the non xt products in between.

I like how at my mc there's an open box option more expensive than new, keep on dropping prices!

Yup, kind of explains why I said they were all the rage. I don't have a problem with that, and yes vanilla sucks, so we're in agreement. So it's in their best interest to just ban nfts etc, to cover themselves and generally make the community safer in that regard.

Think mods, this is why they are choosing to ban them. Modified servers are all the rage.

I suspect by now the overwhelming majority of people either got lucky, paid scalper or used prices for something, or gave up & picked up a console. Miners and scalpers aren't interested in these anymore.

I had the 3060 ti fe ready to checkout, but I had to close the window. Of course they are finally available when they have no more value for resellers or miners.

Ahh yes, back when my cousin couldn't figure out his finances lol. Still hard to find in general, so worthy of posting here when they are available for others.

Yup, I entered that on my account and my gf's account pretty early on, still no notification for me. I did manage to get my brother his ps5 in like February of 2021, but since then struck out trying to get one for my cousin. So it's still a desolate wasteland out there for ps5s.

lhr doesn't matter anymore. Have you moved to new miners that have 100% unlock?

Welcome to the current market my friend. What you are doing wrong is mining now, and not a year ago.

They are only available through best buy, though I think a few have randomly shown up at micro center a few times. Nvidia stopped selling them on their site quite a while ago.
