    Solar Panel Deal Thread

    Things have improved and prices have really dropped in the last year. 9 months ago I bought refurbished 150Ah 12.8V eco worthy batteries for my boat for like $170. Today you can get them new for like $110.

    Solar Panel Deal Thread

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo5dimvOWgs I don't know if I would by anything not reviewed and approved by Will Prowse or users of his website diysolarforum. My only real complaint with his reviews is he often cites amazon prices which are far higher than ordering directly from the...

    Solar Panel Deal Thread

    I support this thread. I'm in a bad state for solar (Oregon), but if I ever get some land I will probably build my own array on the ground. Also, yeah, not sure about eco-worthy for panels, but I have their batteries for my boat trolling motor, my nephew's electric tractor, my trailer winch...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    When I was getting an accounting degree, our capstone project involved doing financial analysis of activision vs ubisoft. That was like 7 years ago but as I recall, we concluded that Ubisoft had too much debt and was far too reliant on stagnant IP that they just kept releasing sequels to. I...

    GameStop Is Offering to Buy eBay for $56 Billion

    They fill a niche. Facebook marketplace and craigslist are good for small local, but not for storefronts that get national customers. Amazon is not great for used or non-SKU items. Imagine you part out cars. You aren't listing thousands of items on craigslist or facebook. Amazon would be...

    5900xt $260 @amazon

    Did they announce the pricing for the re-release of the 5800X3D? I'm just seeing "under $300" or $300 to $400" online which doesn't seem that enticing.

    What are you playing on your deck?

    They do, and they kind of work. The problem is that Diablo games are inherently "click to move" which causes some problems on handheld. They are meant to be played with a mouse. The D2 Resurected re-release changed it from click to move to just normal joystick directional and movement controls...

    5800X3D gaming review

    Actually, what the hell am I thinking, I do 99% of my gaming on steam deck.

    5800X3D gaming review

    Honestly, if these are affordable I might consider it. I had held off on upgrading to AM5 when it first launched because of DDR5 prices. Hahahaha, whoops.

    What are you playing on your deck?

    Bought Diablo 2 ressurected on steam and played that to hell but then got stuck due to monster elemental immunity. I really wanted to play D3 but stupid blizzard refuses to add controller support. I tried emulating the switch version of D3 but it did not run well at all and because it was...

    Block Cuts 40% of Its Work Force Because of Its Embrace of A.I.

    Not just tech companies. Just about every industry was doing this. I work in public accounting and the big 4 firms were obsessively hiring. As soon as things slowed slightly they went into full layoff mode. With that being said, I don't think AI is just a cover for pre-planned layoffs. Not...

    ChatGPT users mourn their AI lovers after a big tech update destroys them: ‘My heart is broken into pieces’

    For a split second your post made me feel better, but then I flashed forward into the not too distant future where women start suing OpenAI for child support because their chatgpt boyfriends said they would take care of them if they went to a sperm bank for donor seed.

    30,000 NVIDIA Engineers Use Generative AI for 3x Higher Code Output

    That describes my experience. No matter how I try to restrict it or define parameters it just makes stuff up, forgets obvious things, or generally feeds me BS. I've been fairly dismissive of AI but I decided to give it a shot with diagnosing some automotive issues I'm having. It's dumb AF. No...

    Newegg stock price falls 17.7% after Chinese owner is detained by anti-corruption authorities

    Like all of you, newegg used to be my fantasy. That was back when there was some magic left alive in the world. Parts came in bright and shiny boxes that promised something good inside. They clearly got worse once they went public. I last shopped there in like 2021 when I needed parts and they...

    Get Amazon to tip your driver $5

    Tipping for deciding they don't want to finish their route (for some reason my house is always at the end of their route) and just driving by without delivering? Tipping for delivering to the wrong house? Tipping for taking a photo of my package on the ground somewhere that clearly is not my...
