There are 2 major giveaways on the thread. Social butterfly is engagement based and the other one Iis lottery where each person who commented on the thread gets 1 entry each and the lottery is drawn on Dec 12. You can check the prize pool for both on the main thread page.
Oh yes! Hope my luck turns out good atleast this time
I've created a revolut account now

But, david did suggest that sometimes regulatory agency might be able to get your PP account reinstated which would be much better. Imo too it's a good option to consider given the process is not very cumbersome and time consuming
Yeah same!
Free credits!
Yup, true. But, what is the seller's selling due to an emergency or something? That would be exploitation in the case, right?
Anyways, I just informed him the APU is good and requested him not to give any updates regarding the sale happening or not.
There's no magic bullet. Whatever you're running would need to be designed to support multi-computer distribution.
Years ago (maybe 20?) people were obsessed with "beowulf clusters", but nobody's bothered with that for years because multi-CPU motherboards and CPUs with hundred of cores now means that communication between threads is lightning fast. Outside of supercomputers (where you'd be talking 100-500+ processors) nobody has the need for this much CPU power.
Awesome. Let me know as well how it goes. I have never tried them
Just benchmarked RESELLER - 180 GB that I won in a giveaway using @loay's Hosting Benchmark script.

Awesome hosting performance (9950X CPU).
@dustinc Thanks for giving this away!
Hello, I would like to double the bandwidth. Order: 4827505597 Thanks!
Where are they?

Oh! I missed this post. I am just trying to see if my luck has changed even a bit.
HeyNeat, come join in. How are you doing?
And trying to join multiple low-end machines together isn't worth the effort because you'd use so much power compared to just a modern CPU that could do the same better, quicker and still be a few hundred watts total.
Hi noob!
I was benchmarking RackNerd's Shared Hosting, and it's a beast.

Yeah, the itchy phase goes away if you go longer still. It's just when the hairs are an annoying length between about 3-5cm where they're long and spiky, but short enough that they resist bending much. Once they're longer, it becomes a lot more like thick hair instead, albeit more wirey than hair.
Thought so as well..I got this idea when i saw yangyang buy multiple of these VPSes. I have weird ideas from time to time and I convince myself they are great
Oh got it. BTW, what's the maximum length you have grown your beard to?
Lots of people buy to upgrade and then sell the old CPU because they don't need two PCs and having the cash is useful to fund the next upgrade.
If they're still getting 50% of the price of their new CPU, they probably already budgetted in that cost. If they don't realise their old CPU is now worth the same as the upgraded one they bought last month, that's kind of on them. But also, they've already made the calculation to sell, so it is what it is.

Thanks!
Guess I shouldn't be feeling guilty for someone else's lack of research then. Yah, I am just gonna let it go. To happier thoughts

Years ago, I used to buy 8-bit computers on e-bay. For one specific model, I used to pay £30+ for just the computer without monitor, and the monitors were £20+ more depending on the condition.
I remember once winning an auction for £10 for computer plus monitor, all in original boxes (used, but beautiful condition). The reason it sold so cheaply was it was collection only (which I understand as posting the monitors is an ordeal). When I went to collect, I didn't realise what a steal I'd got until I saw it. I insisted on giving them £20 for it (all the cash I had), but they were a bit uncomfortable taking more because they'd already got what they thought was fair market price for a 30-year-old piece of junk. And in a sense they had, because ebay reflects the price the market is prepared to pay, and collection only limited their potential purchasers to basically just me (and I drove 50 miles each way to collect it, so spending more on fuel than the cost of it).
At one point, it was about 15cm long as I didn't cut it for the 2 whole years of lockdown when I saw almost nobody. I used to brush it out to the side for comedic photos. To be honest, I looked like a bit of an idiot.
Oh boy! Does @dustinc have another treat for you to go with the previous ones.
There used to be another guy constantly posting double bandwidth requests (or maybe it was the same guy, not sure), but Dustin eventually asked to have each customer post the request themselves, as it seemed the orders were all for different people. But maybe it's a losing proposition, and he finally relented. Anyway, it's a lot of business.
8-bit? Isn't that equivalent to the NES?
