- Comment on Raspberry Pis are cheaper than Mini PCs again 1 week ago:
I’ve used cheaper thin clients in the past. You can get them much cheaper than $50 and they come ready to go with storage, power supply, and case.
- Comment on Raspberry Pis are cheaper than Mini PCs again 1 week ago:
The price didn’t go down, he’s factoring in current ram prices. $250 for an rpi 5 is wild.
- Comment on OpenWRT router 1 week ago:
I’m the past the issue has been limited storage for newer versions and possibly ram. It should list those specs on the open wrt site.
- Comment on Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkill 1 week ago:
I run dullsters.net which is sort of a single user instance. Nobody else can make accounts it’s strictly for one community.

Does it happen with other pokemon? Maybe Nintendo had images deindexed for some reason.

- Comment on Question: To replace or attempt fix 3 weeks ago:
To start with I would put it back to stock.
- Comment on Whats the best use for 75 dollars? 3 weeks ago:
This is what I do. I recently bought 3x rx480 graphics cards for $90 total and 3x office PCs for $150 total and sold for $450 total. You just have to watch for deals.
I also made !flipping@lemmy.world for this kind of stuff, but it’s basically dead as lemmy is mostly anti capitalism and sees flipping as dirty.
- Comment on What is the cheapest console to get and collect for that still holds up? 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo DS lite is cheap and good. You can get them from Japan off of eBay and get colors that are Japan exclusive. Sometimes you can buy them as ‘not working’ and it just needs a battery or just the buttons need to be cleaned. Just don’t buy one that needs a new top screen as they’re hard to replace and cost too much compared to just buying a different one. You can get flash carts for them for cheap and load every game onto an SD card.
- Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders 4 weeks ago:
One thing I’ve run into is not performance with old hardware but missing features from the CPU/GPU. Think of tpm 2.0 requirements for Windows 11. There’s other obscure instruction sets that newer games and programs require such as resizeable bar if you want to run a local llm.

The government already knows where most of these people are. They’re just grifting and terrorizing people.
- Comment on Selling my old printer, looking for feedback 4 weeks ago:
I bought a used V3 with 3 rolls of filament for $60 USD. Creality sells refirbs on their eBay page. I would go with half of whatever that is.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 4 weeks ago:
I usually just skip to the part where he reveals the price of the amazingly cheap sbc, then click off when it’s definitely not cheap.

If you’re watching lectures from someone who talks really slow.
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 4 weeks ago:
You can make a ventoy drive with multiple isos on it. I have a 120gb sata SSD with USB adapter full of various isos.
- Comment on UK campaigners condemn ‘creepy’ digital billboards that can track viewers’ responses 5 weeks ago:
Can’t wait for them to start pairing digital billboards with license plate cameras so you get personalized ai generated ads with your dead grandma in them on your way to work.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 5 weeks ago:
I wonder if people don’t realize that running ai models requires high amounts of vram compared to system ram. They also might not realize that there is a ram chip shortage which doesn’t necessarily mean ram sticks themselves. FOMO will likely drive up the prices more than anything.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 5 weeks ago:
The used market is always like that with the old top of the line stuff. If you look at old high end cpus the highest spec is always super high in price even though it’s not as good as something newer you could get for a lower price. People just see higher number = better so they go for more cores and higher clock speeds. I’ll bet you couldn’t notice the difference between two sticks of 16gb vs 4 sticks of lower end 8gb ddr4. I’m seeing that the rgb sticks are quite a bit higher in price. I’ve seen that if I build a pc with old components and throw it in a glass case with cheap rgb lights that I get a lot of responses immediately. I have to wait a lot longer to sell a plain looking business pc even when it’s higher specs and newer.

Isn’t new ram ddr5 and ddr4 is old? I bought 3 i5-6500 machines with 16gb of ddr4 for $55/each and slapped in $30 rx480 GPs and been selling them for $150/each.
- Comment on I haven't seen anyone talking about the Anycubic Kobra s1 Max. 350mm3, 350c nozzle, active chamber heating. 1 month ago:
Kobra neo, a cheap printer to begin with. The y axis rail is extruded aluminum. Where they drilled the holes in the middle to attach it to the frame it pushed the aluminum out by a few thousands. Adjusting the carriage is either really tight in the middle of the rail or loose on the ends. The bed was also bent when I got it (common issue). I bent it back and added bed adjusters because otherwise the auto need leveling just couldn’t compensate. It broke a y belt (common issue). It still has issues printing. I cannot get it to print petg at all even though the same roll of filament will work fine on another printer. All in all I wish I never bought the thing due to their poor quality control. It still prints PLA good enough so I keep it around because I wouldn’t get anything if I try to sell it.

After having had an Anycubic printer, I would be extremely hesitant to buy one based on the quality of the one I have.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 month ago:
At the time it would have been worth it to pick up a lot of games over an expensive pc. I’m not sure I would go out of my way to buy one today since most of the good games are on pc and can play on a pc without a gpu. If you find one for $20 at a garage sale then I would probably get it if you’re into collecting games.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 month ago:
I’m so glad that he showed some games that aren’t shooters/sports or pc games. I found there’s a combo Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts / Viva Pinata that I decided to pick up. I’ve had a 360 collecting dust that I picked up cheap years ago and never really played it. I’ll probably pick up a few more games for it if I find them for cheap.
