@arstechnica it's still an ugly, obcenely obese #SuperUselessVehicle and noone will get the #Tiguan or any #car in #base configuration at #MSRP - at least not in the #USA!

I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.

  • OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.

And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...

Whilst @heiseonlineenglish has reduced in #quality and isn't doing extensive reviews on #GPU|s anymore, they at least show #StreetPricing when available!

  • Seriously, #MSRP should be legally binding!

This isn't normal.

  • We used to get #MSRP WITH #VAT in #Germany despite having a 19% VAT rate (tho even Belgium git stuff at VAT despite having 32% VAT).

Cards get sold for € 1.100 when their MSRP is€ 600

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!

As #GamersNexus pointed out: This is #Greedflation!

There is no other explaination re: 42% above #MSRP for #GPU|s that ain't having hands-on customer support for extreme overclocking!

  • Like those were absurd but one could at least justify the price with the added cost of having to basically pre-pay at least 1 hour (if not multiple hours) of labour for a spechalized technician that walks people through on #extreme #overclocking!

#HotTake re: #GPU prices

The only reason one doesn't get a new #GraphicsCard at #MSRP is because people don't refuse to buy!

@fletch @AnnaAnthro @pluralistic @blaine IMHO just revoke the #Swasticar|s type.certificate and force #Tesla to not just #BuyBack the cars at #MSRP like #VW did with #DieselGate but also make #ApartheidEmeraldBoy pay emotional damages and the cost of.procuring replacements from other manufacturers!

Starting with Foundations, #wotc is bringing back #MSRP for #magicthegathering.

The leaked files from the disclosure seclists.org/fulldisclosure/20 have since been removed from developercommunity.visualstudi. Someone on Reddit (reddit.com/user/TapAppropriate) posted a direct link to a download from azurewebsites.net that's been taken down now too. The #InternetArchive has the files still at:
web.archive.org/web/2024062421

Unfortunately I cannot verify whether those files/the link was the original file or a re-upload. But at least all files within `ICE REPRO.zip/Linker/linkrepro.zip' match the size (in bytes) of the originals as given in the listing on seclists.

The file download from there has the sha256 hash:

d4c1a74f81e5259596466027ebac9f7eb026931c7cef02e5c37d884bbbb7f96f ICE_REPRO.zip

---

In addition, the disclosure notes that the MS symbol server does (STILL ONLINE!) leak the PDB of warbird.dll if requested. A backup has been re-upped here: files.catbox.moe/8iz2qk.pdb

Again, the sha256 hash. This has been matched against the original served by the MS symbol server:

2e8b5e0c17b4a4693ed494444f347f22a2eed15bcade18a5ac25d370011f8aa5 warbird.dll.pdb

---

I provide those hashes just for people to be on the safe side while analyzing the files. Keep in mind that accessing those files may be illegal.

@talviunelias that's basically #MSRP as sold at the manufacturer's website...

gastroback.de/produkte/kueche-

Granted, I doubt you'd find any in the sub - €100 price category that comes close...

OFC there may be better ones at like € 200 - € 500 + loke some export versions of Japanese Rice Cookers but that's as unfair to compare as comparing my Corsa D 1.0 to an Audi A4 1.8 of the same year (2008)...

Even tho I'd kinda want a fancy one but those are way to exoensive to buy on a whim and I already have the aforementioned one so it's even more wasteful to buy a new one...

Not shure about smaller / cheaper rice cookers tho...

@paulrickards I assume something based on the @Raspberry_Pi #PiPico / #RP2040 with a matching #Ethernet-HAT would be able to to it.

Espechally since that #uC is easy to obtain and relatively cheap (compared to a #Pi0 / #Pi0W which were used for the #DreamPi #Dialup adaptor and are still not widely available at #MSRP)...

The tricky part would be #Firmware, not #Hardware....

@SirTapTap considering the amount of #scalping of @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPi's and the fact that the #Pi5B will lilely not be available at #MSRP until the #Pi6B or #CM5 or #Pi500 get released, I can recommend to take a look at #ThinClients, because they have regular #amd64 #CPU's, plenty of ports, are almost always #fanless and also barely sip power.

I do use some #hp #t520 as #MiniServers to do #backups and #torrent #linux distros and just be things I can offload building OS/1337 to...

@fatsam I wished @Raspberry_Pi would improve availability of their products in general.

It can't be that there's no #distributor that has #CM3plusLite or #CM4Lite1GB or even #CM4WLite8GB at #MSRP!

@makerbymistake Unless @Raspberry_Pi works with their #Distributors to enshure #Scalpers can't #bot the stores empty and resell shit at absurd markups, I doubt I can get a #Pi5 or #CM5 at #MSRP...

@sleepybisexual if being able to use it on the go isn't a necessity, I'd recommend taking a look at cheap, used thin clients to tinker with.

They barely sip power, almost all are #fanless and yoi can get one wotj power supply, 8GB SSD, 4GB RAM, Ethernet, WiFi and USB 3.0 for less than the #MSRP og a @Raspberry_Pi #CM4Lite1GB!
