Most sites I’ve ordered from that use shop will still email a link to tracking number, you don’t need to download shop to track it.
- Comment on Do Not Buy NZXT | Predatory, Evil Rental Computer Scam Investigated - Gamers Nexus 3 weeks ago:
I mean, I could see if they tried to make this rent-to-own over 2-3 years. At half the price they’re offering.
But renting… where you’re paying over the entirety of the price in a single year, is fucking insane.
If renting, and updating it every 2 years, then for like 1/4th of the price then sure. I could see it being promoted how they are. Rent out older stock for 50% retail to at least get some value out of it while allowing people to pay ~$30 a month for a decent computer. (and then you could “upgrade” the lower tier with this to end up recouping 75% of retail over 4 years.)
But who the fuck is paying 10% of the cost a month to borrow an okay computer, even ignoring the full month cancelation fee, and ridiculous contract. (which is… ignoring a LOT.)
It is sad to see NZXT lowered to this as I used to have a decent view of them. They make some nice cases. CAM kinda lowered that view a bit, but I was in the beta for that and got a free water cooler out of it so I could overlook that. And pushing their own not as great products for the prebuilts still seemed okay for prebuilts for those scared to build on their own. But this is just… too much to overlook. Wild.

Yeah but I don’t ever use or look at that. Honestly, almost never go to look for shit later on here, so not a habit I have. So if I did save it, I wouldn’t see it til like 6 months from now and I’d probably just go… why the fuck is this saved? And delete it.

Commenting to watch this later
- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 1 month ago:
Yes. Also if you think of i as a 90° rotation (with a length of the scalar coefficient infront of i, in this case 1) . Thus one rotates you outwards away from the 2D plane, and two of those gets you back to the 2D plane, just going the other direction.

Literally a slot in the video to change out what glyph is used.
- Comment on Finish him. 🪓 6 months ago:
While I believe they answered well, the short being it being published doesn’t mean it is automatically science, there are plenty of shitty publications that care more about number of articles than ensuring good practices, and good peer review.
The point of what he was saying was that you need to publish it for it to be science tho, as science is there to build knowledge and increase our understanding, and not publishing does not allow that and thus is not science, even if the methods were good and the logic was sound.
- Comment on Finish him. 🪓 6 months ago:
If it’s not published it’s not science. The Contrapositive is if it is science, then it is published.
Not if it is published it is science.
- Comment on He came with receipts 6 months ago:
Nah it was 2018 (with two others). Had to check if he has two, but nope.
- Comment on He came with receipts 6 months ago:
Dude won a Turing award 6 years ago, is a major player in a field that is rapidly expanding, Professor at NYU, and thus is likely part of a lot of different research going on. He may not be writing up all 80 personally, but his work and name is part of them. If it was some nobody working in a slower field I would definitely be cautious about 80 papers in 5 years.

Id happily pirate many games and tip just the devs

- Comment on With public key cryptography, why can't someone decrypt a message using the public key? 8 months ago:
Look at it more like this. Say I tell you to pick any number, square it, and then add 5. Say I did this and my answer was 41. What was my original number? 90% of people will answer 6, but my answer was -6. Now only doing that once isn’t hard, but basically it’s because the inverse of the function is not a function that I can’t always get back to it. Now do that a few thousand different ways in the same problem and good fucking luck.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator confirms harvesting in a certain direction is faster - but not for long, as 1.6 fix due 9 months ago:
pffft why nerf one thing when you can buff every other thing in the entire game including the enemies. Obviously way easier to do that than nerf one overperforming thing.

I feel like it’d have to be pretty expensive and you may as well just… buy a 2nd monitor?

RIP that sounds like the worst. Good luck
- Comment on My incisions from ankle surgery have hit the itchy stage of healing and it's driving me crazy 1 year ago:
Glad I’m not the only one who does this.
But this sounds like tattoo healing itch, which is the worst part but yeah not much to do but smack it.
- Comment on My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme 1 year ago:
I think the only issue is this person not realising if you have 36 people buying 1 book and sending it, 36 people are not getting 36 books. They’re all getting one. Though, it could be a ring where you read then send, so you eventually cycle through to all 36. Issue there is reading speed varies so one person will end up a bottleneck but I mean yeah.
Either way, at this point just make a book club or go get friendly with your local librarian (I mean talk with them you perverts) and they can usually suggest books you would like but may not have chosen for yourself.
- Comment on How many numbers are in the number 100? 1 year ago:
You uh, wanna try the question again?
How many digits? 3. Numbers? 100 is one number. Factors? 1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100. Prime Factored form? 2•2•5•5 Numbers from 0 or 1 to 100? Uncountably infinite amount. Sum of the integers from 0 or 1 to 100? 5050.
But yeah like… what did you mean.

- Comment on How did living in caves not backfire on cavemen? 1 year ago:
That was 7ft flames in a sandstone cave. Yes it can happen. No it wouldn’t happen often enough to have killed every single human living in a cave system.
