budaatum: I'm building around an Intel® Core™ i5-12400F for my nephew. We ordered an ASUS PRIME H610M-A WIFI D4 Intel H610 LGA 1700 micro ATX from Ebuyer, but they messed us around so we went back to Amazon like we've done for everything else.
I'm sticking to Amazon from now on for their returns policy, and Ebay because of paypal protection.
Nice setup. I know there are tradeoffs, but have you considered a MB with a usb-c port. Not sure if you have a Microcenter in the UK, but that's one of my favorite stores and where I get a ton of my components. Also, not sure about reliability now, but I got some components from Newegg as well.
Sounds fun for you and your nephew. Was planning to do something similar with my niece with my older itx setup. But she says she wants a purple glitter case with purple lights.. There goes a Saturday, sanding a case and cleaning my spray gun. should have closed my mouth.
i mean we can see elon musk who spends all his time on twitter. or running around in the white house. so what time does he actually have to actually work? but greed is good so let ceos keep finding ways to increase their wages while reducing the wages of everyone else
the oil and gas industry in nigeria has some of the highest paid workers. those workers salaries drive the economy where they are based. but when a company like shell or texaco divests, the first thing the new owners go for is killing the unions, so they can reduce wages and redirect any savings to themselves and their cronies. now here is the thing. these owners are already rich. they have already set themselves up. so any extra money they are squeezing out of the company from contract staffing, from awarding jobs to family members - it is not going into the economy. it is going to pandora.
this is how you slow down the economy. this is also what happened in warri. when shell was in warri, the money flowed and the city thrived. shell has divested and nigerians have taken over. you will see the nigerian owners in pages of magzines as oil big boys, but the wealth is concentrated among them. it is not flowing down.
this is where america is today. most of the money is in the hands of a few who are only interested in growing it even more . Nigerians are told that abacha had a mental disease. well do do American billionaires. it is never enough for them . they want more and more and more even at the peoples expense - just like our politicians
i literally watched a ceo who raum knows of build a thriving company and kill it with his greed. same energy. the money is never enough.
You're right. The game is rigged. Problem in the US is that we can't have that proper discussion. Too many people have economic magical thinking.
I assume everything on aliexpress is fake. But it is possible to get fooled even on Amazon as they sometimes cross inventory. Buy from a place you trust or a place with a good return policy and thest the device.
Picked up the s25 ultra a few days ago, almost want to get a fake to see how good it is. Crazy thing is some won't even care.
Omofaye99: You are right that this is one of the problems. While their move looks good, it also affect the economy as many companies struggle to absorb higher labor costs, leading them to cut back on employees or even relocate operations.
That is a conversation that the US has to have. Do people actually want cheaper good/services or do they think people should be paid a living wage.
cococandy: Funny you should say that. Remind me which party is advocating for revised child labor laws? So that more kids can be out of school and working to “earn their worth”. Hint: it’s the Republican Party!
This is from the guardian. I encourage you to look more into bills passed by republicans to remove child labor protections
I’m not in support of Chinese manufacturing practices. Not saying the USA has the best practices but definitely better than them. And do you know why the higher USA standards exist? Because of bleeding heart liberals. You make fun of us for caring too much but then brag about labor protections we have in the country. These protections were created after the snowflake-always-miserable-constantly-crying liberals fought for them.
Sounds like you want the same things we want. But you have to stop getting in your own way. We could have the American manufacturing you want but that would require strong unions, taxing the rich, and lots of regulations. All things Republicans hate.
Their message is so discordant. Depending on what they are arguing the will argue for completely contradictory things.
cococandy: There’s so much to unpack in this post. Sorry for the long post.
1)so you’re okay with more expensive products as long as they are made in America? Right now, The only way to keep manufacturing jobs here is to force people to accept goods at very expensive price points. According to you guys, the economy was terrible under Biden and people are suffering. Your solution is to make the things they need even more expensive. How’s that for a solution?.
2) Other countries didn’t make buying from America hard. America made buying from itself hard. If American minimum wage is 10x the next trading partner, whose fault is it that the trading partner would be seeking more affordable options? We have this massively inflated currency that we force other countries to trade with. It’s to our benefit. But We can’t turn back and pretend that their currencies being weaker than ours doesn’t have an impact on how much more expensive buying from us is. I’m no economist but isn’t this obvious? Someone with a degree in international economics should correct me if I’m wrong please.
3) Now let’s talk about how I really feel about American manufacturing and jobs here. Because you’re either making assumptions about me now or conveniently forgotten that I’ve in the past spoken out about corporations shipping jobs abroad due to greed and maximizing profits. To which you whipped out your classic defense of greedy corporations and how profit is the ultimate holy grail. We could have manufacturing here if corporations would take a pay cut.
5) it’s rich that you suddenly care about American jobs. I thought no one owed anyone else a job? Wasn’t that your response to the mass layoffs? I digress but it can’t be ignored so I had to point it out.
6) I would love a boost in American manufacturing if done correctly. Putting tariffs first. Causing a crash in the market and hike in prices with no alternatives yet is a silly way to go about it.
7) Do you know there’s a world in which manufacturing happens in America, workers are paid fairly and the products don’t have to cost an arm and a leg? The only trade off would be that the companies don’t get to take in gargantuan profits with each quarter being better than the last. They would make good money still but that won’t satisfy their greed and knowing you, you’d rather support suffering for more expensive products than for billionaires to take a pay cut. So if you’re not in support of a system where we can make this happen, then you just like Trump are not yet serious about bringing manufacturing back to America.
SpaceX: It's seems you don't understand what the current president is working on, the country was on a life support during the Biden presidency and the only solution now is to reset the country into the path of greatness and that is what he is doing. We shall witness greatness like never before trust me.
Greatness like never before... lol
Hey, have you touched a woman yet?
SpaceX: Sex is overrated Abeg, wetin sweet inside self?
raumdeuter: Trump is still a billionaire and now 2 time president, You screamed all these during the campaigns and Americans ignored you and voted for him twice
This makes his point. He failed his first time. And he's failing again. Yes, people voted for him. But, that says more about the people voting for him and his ability to fool them than his success in office.
feedthenation: ---Felon47 as a businessman had six of his businesses bankrupted / failed---he is doing everything by using the same formula to disrupt the US economy which has been steady in the past months---
See If you let them, they’ll derail you into arguing/defending a point you never even made because they can’t give a straight response to the conversation at hand. Republican gaslighting 🤣🤣🤣
raumdeuter: This cowardly Beta energy always. Why don't you ask him directly, How can you live life a coward like this? Are you a midget in real life?
That's not one of your sensible conversations?
raumdeuter: People here are having sensible conversation, that's why they are leaving you out of it, when it time for shit talking, you will be notified
raumdeuter: I wonder why you have conversations with people on this thread who don't live in the US on this thread
The ones who are thoughtful, read and research what they post, don't go around pretending they have some expertise they don't, speak from experiences they actually have, don't lie and pretend to live in the US, aren't conspiratorialists and don't sound like mental patients. And because of that they offer great perspectives.
You literally said Republicans were for cutting the Military. A notion belied by what Republicans have said for decades and now by Trump's plan to increase it to 1 trillion. You spent half a day arguing this, own your wrongness.
raumdeuter: People here are having sensible conversation, that's why they are leaving you out of it, when it time for shit talking, you will be notified
How many times have you been wrong this week alone? Sharrup and own your wrongness.
He said sensible conversations about the US with people who have never stepped foot in the US. You should consider why the only people you find sensible are people who've never been to the US or have to lie about living in the US.
basilico: This guy had lost all appeals and finally claimed assylum. Judge only ordered he should not be sent to El Salvador because his life would be in danger
In other words, he was here legally.
basilico: In the second ruling , SCOTUS by 5-4 ruling lifted the Restraining order of using the Invasion Act to deport The court also held that the president can use the Act , but the deportees would have a due process . But they are held in Texas, only a judge in Texas can listen to their pleadings. Not Boasberg in DC , court ruled basically he has no jurisdiction.
The justices did not endorse the use of the Enemy Invasion Act. They just said that it was an improper court to have brought the suit, so the lawyers have to start over. But, once it is filed in Texas, they will have to answer that question. The court said that Trump would have to give Venezuelans due process through habeas corpus, which removes a lot of the benefit from Trump's use of it. It was a very cowardly ruling meant to help Trump. 1.) If someone gets taken without due process, 5 justices think that person should first find the proper federal court. While the Trump administration can move you around to prevent you from doing so. To file a habeas corpus you have to actually know the person is being held. 2.) The Justices could have still answered the question re: the Invasion Act. Seemingly the goal is to delay the ruling as it will now have to proceed in a conservative court that will undoubtedly set a hearing schedule to delay given Trump a loss in the Supreme Court.
You should stop writing on this. You don't have your facts or understanding right.
raumdeuter: nateevs I see you are one of those clamoring for Pentagon budget cuts Oya the cut Pentagon budget cut Pentagon budget is here Now Lets see who are the ones who want the defence budget bloated
Raumdeuter, eerily quiet on this. No criticism for Trump increasing the already bloated defense budget?
I guess we did find out who wants the defense budget bloated though. Didn't we? Lol.
benalvino3: Ijebos your favorite criminal is not coming back anytime soon.
SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily blocked the district court’s order that Salvadoran National Kilmer Abrego Garcia be returned to the U-S by midnight tonight. He ordered Abrego Garcia’s lawyers to respond by Tuesday at 5pm ET.
This is an Administrative stay so the Supreme Court can review it.
benalvino3: Trump has been winning left and right.
Ijebos cry more for your criminal friends.
SCOTUS decision lifts restraining order against Trump admin & takes Venezuelan deportee case away from Judge Boasberg (improper venue - the ACLU forum shopped). Says detainees entitled to some measure of due process but in the venue where they were held: TX, not DC. Bye Judge Boasberg!
The detainees get due process. You sound like you don't understand what that means. More of a win for the Venezuelans than Trump no matter what your degenerate self thinks.
A wanna be immigrant against due process for immigrants. A nutty world with nutty people.

You are a morally bankrupt person through and through. You should probably get out your Bible and.... who am I kidding.
cococandy: This is why I love nairaland. Anyone can say anything. And have opinions on everything.
If I want to belong too, I can start googling ssd, RAM etc things I don’t understand and start contributing to a conversation above my comprehension just to hear my own opinions. If you argue with me na you sabi 😭.
SpaceX: Everyone wants to talk about the stock market going down but you know what else went down; oil prices are down by 25% which impart working Americans than the stock market does.
Your first clue is to ask yourself what were Trump's policies that helped reduce these oil prices. If you can't name any, then ask yourself why prices are lower. It's not the flex you think.
Have you touched a girl woman yet?
Had to edit that phrase as there are some in this thread who man excitedly think that meant a teenager or under.
GloriousGbola: The jjc does not know that while a hdd will give warnings before it is about to fail, an ssd failure is instant.
Happened to me once. My son had a silicon power ssd in his pc and it just stopped. No warning.
The boy also doesn't know that ssds will eventually wear out based on how much data is written to them
But what do you expect - he just learnt about the disk part command this morning
If nothing else we are forcing the clown to attempt to learn something
He likes to run his mouth even when he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. Even when he can easily google it.
Had an SSD fail as well. Fortunately, I religiously backup all my stuff. They are great but you have to go into it knowing the downsides. Everything is a balance.
Abstract There are considerations which should be made if you are planning on shutting down an SSD based system for an extended period. The JEDEC spec for Enterprise SSD drives requires that the drives retain data for a minimum of 3 months at 40C. This means that after 3 months of a system being powered off in an environment that is at 40C or less, there is a potential of data loss and/or drive failures. This power off time limitation is due to the physical characteristics of Flash SSD media's gradual loss of electrical charge over an extended power down period. There is a potential for data loss and/or flash cell characteristic shift, leading to drive failure.
You get made a fool repeatedly and keep coming back for more. You must like it. You're like those people who get chained up and like getting beat/dominated.
benalvino3: Still more reliable than mechanical storage. You are not saying anything sophisticated, just running your mouth and sounding like a novice.
DATA LEAK 🤣🤣🤣
You think by the force of repeating your misinformation, it'll change the technical aspects of NAND memory? Listen you are not an authority on anything but running your mouth.
benalvino3: Thats leak data? You are posting a debunked nonsense.
Oh you mean lose data.
So you will put off your computer or ssd for at least 2 years in an environment that is not good for it 🤣😂
Well, the resident idiot is here to embarrass himself.
Stop buying cheap ssd
It is the nature of all NAND storage. It was a design choice I MADE understanding hardware and my needs. You as usual run your mouth without the basic understanding of what you are talking about.
At a point you'll learn to stop running ur mouth and compounding your foolishness.
