No i was just pointing out the list https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/us doesn’t show any processors.
I changed it to https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/ca and it gives same results . No processors are listed. I was only checking to see what the prices were. My computer parts supplier has lots of stock so i know the price here. Just checking for price comparisons.

I know I know. Just your phrasing with the ? at the end sounded a bit confused, so I thought why not be a wise ass? :slight_smile:

Cheap and decent, according to Zeos.

Hmmm… my excuse for that is that it beats being a stupid one! :grin:

Does that work for you too?

It’s certainly a great leap forward from the crappy built-in audio on my old Acer box.

Thing is I don’t ever need an excuse for sometimes I’m just a straight meaniepooface. Particularly when grown-ups have trubbelz with the grammar. Yes, I am the grammar police! :policewoman:

That must be a tough job, especially in an environment where ESL is an expectation (English as Second Language)! If we have the grammar police here, though, I’d better go proofread my Wiki entries again :grin:

No worries, I’m an ESLer, too. You recognize us by writing betterer than the naturals. :policewoman:

Dunno. I’m only the grammar police. And trubbelz is a spelling I invented myself. Is that so wrong?
:woman_shrugging:

Are you sure about that? I think it requires further research… :thinking:

Sure I’m sure. You think I’m drunk or stoopit or sumfink?

Nope. However - we must be getting off topic here…at least I wouldn’t buy that! :grin:

It took forever to get here, but it finally got here. This is a Planck keyboard. An ortholinear 40% keyboard. It’ll take some getting used to, but so far I am liking it a lot!

Congrats, hope you don’t have too much trouble adapting…

I myself ditched even 60% form factor for a 75% one, because I found I had to juggle the FN key too much
Funnily enough mine also uses a white/gray/lavender colorscheme :grin:

What kind of switches are you using?

Who cares? @Orca thanks for the memories. Collage dorm, half gallon of cheap wine, my girl wearing my knit hat. The only stitch of clothing between us…

Update: The cheap drive is worthless junk. It is both slow and unstable. I have a very old WD 2TB backup drive based on a 2.5" spinner which is actually faster and more reliable.

At least the quest for knowledge was relatively inexpensive :grin:

Can be an expensive lesson with cheap SSDs. Maybe not the actual cost of the SSD, but the data that can disappear if you are unlucky.
