  • maybe this is just a rural usa thing but ive had alot better luck with computer parts on ebay then amazon, ebay doesnt ship as fast but it almost always arrives or if it doesnt ebay buyer protection is no questions asked your money back. amazon often will just cancel my order 2 weeks after supposedly “shipping” it. ebays interface is also 1000% better then amazon when trying to find anything. ebay you can sort by pretty much anything and its pretty specifc. amazon will just give you keyword spammed crap and outright lie if you sort by cheapest instead giving you sponsored stuff




  • windows pulls this kind of bs all the time, lets do some comparisons between my primary linux install and my school windows install, both installed on the same relatively modern hardware and almost identical nvme ssds. linux: i turn on my computer and it works for everything i need, the time is correct, my gpu driver is included in the kernel so its always updated, no popups or unwanted notifications. ever. windows: considerably longer boot time, have to click through several menus begging me to sign into microsoft and upgrade to windows 11 or my pc will get hacked. then my monitors layout and refresh rate will be messed up every time because windows uodate “updated the gpu driver” to an older version and now it wont load so i have to spend 5 minutes unfucking that, then the time is consistently always off. ive tried endless tutorials/uodates to try and fix it and is just wont work. have to manually disable ntp and set the time so that autocads shitty drm will let me do my homework while getting spammed with popups about how i need to update my computer and install razer software for my keyboard and how microsoft 365 is the best software in the entire universe.

    and thats just the start of all the random shit this os pulls on a daily basis
