I recently paid $120 for 4x8gb 3000 DDR4 RGB DIMMs used on eBay so prices aren’t totally insane just yet. Anything new is out of stock or close to it because DDR5 is/was the norm. It would probably be cheaper to buy server ram if you can get a board and CPU that can use it.

8Gb of ddr4 is $25 usd and 16Gb ddr4 sticks are going for about $75 usd goes up from there depending on speed.

Go to Wikipedia go to the bottom of the page and look at the sources.

On darknet markets they use an escrow account and admins act as mediators, so as long as you can show that you have a valid tracking number. The issue becomes when people try to scam you by selling you broken electronics or scam buyers pulling fraud returns. Weirdly this is common with VCRs on eBay. There’s large resellers who buy good VCRs and steal parts out of them and return them. Then they resell on Amazon. I guess it comes back to having a karma system.

The issue in the US with accepting payments on behalf of sellers is that you have to then collect sales tax which is different for every locality. Then you also have to issue tax forms to the sellers for sales over a certain amount. Which leaves us with sellers collecting payments on their own which means using something like PayPal or Bitcoin. You would just have to have people build trust through reviews and hope for the best. You could base the service in a random other country so that you wouldn’t have a bunch of regulations to deal with and leave all the tax stuff up to the buyers and sellers. You’d probably run into issues with accepting credit cards though.

eBay/marketplace/etsy alternative.

ddr4 is going for around $25 per stick of 8gb I went ahead with 4 sticks of 3000mhz

Looks like a 1080ti is $150 so I’ll grab one

Not bad, I found a used mobo for $60 and I’m looking at ram right now on eBay. I’m hoping that I can get a higher spec GPU, just not sure what to go with. Sucks that storage is so high right now. I might have an ssd I can use though I’ll have to check.

I found this combo with the 5600g https://ebay.io/m/icN0lD

Now that I’m looking at it I think it’s just for the CPU and the seller is just dumb.

I wonder if your friends told him it was a blind date without telling you about it.

At first I had to remove some posts but then I revamped the rules and that really helped. the community has grown into its own thing over time. The most I had to remove was recently due to a spat people were having in the comments. I never have had to ban anyone.

iirc they posted one of the few posts I’ve had to remove from !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world nothing serious, it just wasn’t really appropriate for the com.

They use hundreds of smart phones with data plans.

Let’s say you drive 10k miles per year and you’re getting 20mpg that’s 500gal of fuel per year. If gas is $5/ gal that’s $2500 per year. Let’s say I can get a car that gets 40 miles per gallon. Over ten years I’m saving $12k so I’d need to spend less than $12k on a car in order to save money. Idk what the cost of electric is over the cost of gas but I know that I can’t get an electric car for less than $12k that isn’t going to need an expensive battery replacement in the near future.

Because working from home doesn’t really mean you have to be in your house as long as you’re working. Just like you don’t have to actually eat on your lunch break. If you can’t trust me then why am I still working for you?

I know where this is, I hate it.

My theory is that people like attractive people so much that attractive people never really have to learn to do things for themselves because other people will gladly do it for them. So they end up stupid yet confident at everything they do. People just like attractive and confident people. If you ever look at leadership around you, you’ll notice that most of them are tall. It’s because we see tall people as authority because that’s how it was when we were kids. The tall people were in charge. Smart people are always unsure of themselves because there’s no way to predict what is going to happen for certain. So that’s why the world is run by overconfident dumb people.

I’ve worked with some mentally challenged people in the past and through customer service. I’d much rather deal with someone with limited reasoning skills than someone who is genuinely intelligent. Intelligent people fail to see their own limitations and don’t know when to be humble. Some of the dumbest people on this planet are academics, top of their field, highly educated. Those people don’t know shit about anything because they’re hyper focused on one teeny tiny aspect of the universe. At least the mentally challenged know that they have limited reasoning skills and are fairly skilled at asking for help and knowing their limitations.
