Generally speaking, I get the feeling I should stick to something that isn’t worth enough for felony theft charges to apply, so no RTX 4090 or 4080. The 4070 Ti isn’t at all a bad deal for $0.00, so I suppose that’s the one.
I’ve heard conflicting reports on how likely Amazon is to refund you if you simply claim the box showed up with a brick in it. I’ve also seen conflicting reports on whether or not they’ll actually check if a return has the same serial number on it. What say you, Hexbear?
I feel exactly the same. I’m so very grateful Hexbear exists as a reprieve from the incredibly reactionary English speaking internet. The one and only reliable forum where we can rest easy and know we won’t be judged or insulted according to the standards of capitalist hegemony.
The terminally boot addicted, paypig assholes of reddit are such an underrated element of why reddit’s radioactive cesspit of a community is so insufferable. This thread would have been removed by mods if posted anywhere on reddit but r/illegalifeprotips (which I am absolutely stunned the reddit admins have continued to let exist despite having effectively become r/shoplifting 2.0 but with a much broader criminal subject manner).
The icing on the cake is that these people just get more and more emboldened as reddit hemorrhages leftists and continuously lurches right. More and more often these days I’ve noticed that comments complaining about Nvidia’s extortionate pricing tend to result in these freaks crawling out of the woodwork to literally outright mock and shame people for being too poor to afford mid-end GPUs anymore. Reddit has always been bad, but holy shit, I don’t remember reactionaries being quite this mask off about these things back when r/CTH was around.
