#overpriced
I've yet to see any #GPU at #MSRP in #Germany!
- They all are #overpriced for no valid reason whatsoever and it pisses me off, because I didn't buy a #GTX1050 or #Vega64 as an #invsstment, but right now both cards.that I was able to snipe at €100 each are actually rising in value because #AMD, #nvidia & #intel only shit out expensive stuff and don't even have MSRP-priced merch available.
Worse there ain't even #LowEnd [< €100] or actual #MidRange [€250 - €500] cards available at MSRP!
#Meanwhile...

#Piracy is a #Service Problem.

Piracy will exist as long as #corporate #greed will exist.
- As long as media will be #overpriced, #delisted, #pulled from shelves or get #OutOfPrint, Piracy will be inevitable.
If it was my decision #Copyright and #patents would be contingent on the #media / #technology being produced and offered for sale.
- In fact I think every #claim for #losses should be tossed by any #judge whenever there was no #legal way to obtain a new copy of some content.
Espechally since we live in the #AgeOfAbundance and nowadays the cost for distributing even a #AAA #Game or #Movie is merely the cost of #Storage and #Bandwith, so at worst a whole Euro if we're talking #PayAsYouGo - #Akamai with no minimums to get stuff distributed.
- We'd be in the single digit cents if we use #P2P technology like #BitTorrent and #IPFS to keep stuff available.
sticky comics Skincare is insane - I got this free sample at the mall. When I looked up the lotion I discovered my 2ml sample is apparently worth $14? #skincare #overpriced
The important story to me is, who pays nearly $1000 for a #pie? I don’t care who you are, that’s nuts!
@parismarx TBH, I hope #Volkswagen / #VW and all those brands that produce exclusively #overpriced #SuperUselessVehicles go broke since they clearly refuse to acknowledge the market needs and financial feasability of certain products.
- Personally, I think we need more #PersonalLightVehicles and if the @EUCommission demands too,much #Bloat for #Cars as per EC Vehicle Classification M1 then we should just use a different vehicle class (i.e. #L2e & #L5e) instead.
Picked this Polaroid action camera up on clearance from Walmart last night $29CAD and tax. My first impressions are it is a great $15 action camera.
#Ovo are sad to see us go! They will be sad when they find we've cancelled the #directdebt. After seeing what they've done to others they will need to issue a #bill if we owe anything. We'll #pay the bill (if accurate) immediately. I'm sick to death of the utterly terrible ways companies treat people now. We are not here to line companies' #pockets & put up with rotten, #overpriced #services.

While there’s plenty of drama on the #political #front, we’re ready to settle into squashed #seats with our #sippycups full of #overpriced #wine for what’s coming down the #theater pipeline.

if we've learned anything from Apple & Google making Arm based 'appliances' cosplaying as computers... it will take forever to port full Linux functionality to these..
- that's assuming these aren't #DRM #Enshittified #SecureBoot nightmares Microsoft is known for producing, which will introduce a ton of other obstruction to keeping them out of landfills after their "4 years of Qualcomm support"
#Overpriced #eWaste #Qualcomm #SurfaceLaptop
Sure, Microsoft can promise some battery life improvement, plus whatever stupid buzzword worthy shit that "Big IT" companies are chasing these days, but the hardware will be dead before it even goes into the "refurbished sales to customers" cycle.
#Overpriced #eWaste #Qualcomm #SurfaceLaptop
When #SpectreMeltdown occurred, Intel / AMD rolled out bios and microcode updates to every CPU made in the previous 9 years
Where as 4 years of support from Qualcomm won't even get companies through 1 "PC Refresh" cycle before these things are dead...
And forget about support for #Windows12 (whenever Microsoft decides to ship 'the next thing')
While I'm complaining about things that I missed yesterday:
Qualcomm "laptops"... These things are basically super #Overpriced #eWaste from the moment they ship
Qualcomm only supports their CPU's for 4 years... and that's how bad they (still) are about support after over 15 years of Google and Apple fighting them (plus 'leaving' to develop their own Arm CPU's)
@arstechnica E-bikes are still waaayy too expensive #overpriced
1969 Vintage Car Advertisement
The image is a vibrant vintage advertisement for two luxury cars.
It's an old-fashioned poster, colored in striking shades of yellow and white with accents of black and red.
The text on the ad proclaims "New! Fast! Powerful! and overpriced" along with a promise of "Fuel economy and low maintenance costs", suggesting that these cars are not just stylish but also efficient.

My wife just had an altercation with a #SaveOnFoods manager who would only replace half of the spolied meat she had been sold.
She told him this was the 4th time recently she’s had to return rotten meat to this store and if he didn’t replace all the spoiled meat she’d be done with #SaveOnFoods completely. The manager just replied “fine!” and walked away from her.
The gall of these grocery chains is unreal. They jack their prices, pawn bad meat and when caught, download the losses onto the customer.
It was once said “the customer is always right”. Nowadays Managers openly insult customers because their grocery chains are stinking rich off all our backs and always have 50 more gullible consumers they can pawn their bad product onto.
Screw #SaveOnFoods. After years of frequenting this store our thousands of dollars spent meant nothing to you. Take your smug manager and regularly rotten meat and ‘eff right off.

This prestige printing of Master and Commander is something I desperately want and at the same time would absolutely judge someone else for buying something so stupid. #aubreymaturin #masterandcommander #overpriced #books
