    Dead purple train.

    Never say that. That's the forbidden word here.

    Yeah, that kind of issue requires a real doctor.

    Oh alright.

    And for example, this is a prime example of what I was talking about of replying to absolutely every post, regardless of whether there is anything to add at all.

    Doing this isn't even close to being a conversation, it's just mindless spamming a reply just to get your post count up.

    Is there even a keyboard??????

    Just the desktop, no keyboard, monitor or other peripherals.

    Oh, maybe I don't want it if it doesn't have a keyboard.

    Ok. Alright.

    And exactly the same here.

    I mean, 5070ti, if available.

    That's quite a bit more but not worth the extra money for games.

    Not for games. I have mentioned this before. Trying to learn AI for work.

    Then honestly, the GPU from the prize is useless to you. Very little RAM, not many compute cores. No AI tensor cores.

    You would be better off having the money instead of the GPU and saving up to spend a bit more on something suitable. Or wait a year until the prices drop. But a 4060 is crap for AI. it is, however, great for games.

    Would would anything go wrong with a GPU Dustin buys? I hope you're not setting up some kind of scam with your "cousin" so that you get a GPU, he gets a PC without GPU plus the scam money from the RMA.

    I meant if anything goes wrong with the GPU. Guess these don't generally have intl warranty.

    And GPUs generally don't go wrong. It's some miniscule amount, like less than 0.1% than are faulty.

    Yah, I know. Initially I wanted to maybe get one of those nvidia cards specifically meant for AI, like those colab and Runpod use. I guess those like t4. One look at their prices and my dreams went crumbling down.
    As for 4060ti, I have been learning ai stuff with my apu for the past few months, so, any GPU, better, a free GPU, given prices here are already inflated is an improvement for me.

    Yes, that's true. But, right now with vram shortage, companies are ready to invent reasons to deny rma and warranty.
    Earlier this month, I read a zotac customer's review, where zotac wouldnt give him a replacement but was ready to dispose of the GPU for him for free :lol:

    They can have the prizes. I am not gonna try as actively as I did earlier, or might not try at all. But, as said again, I am glad I won't be actively participating in the competitions anymore. I don't think I have have what it takes to survive this anymore.
    Prolly, the relaxants have helped me from breaking down after the convo earlier.

    But, as usual, I will try to hype up any subsequent threads when I can, cause Dustin has been real kind to me over the years and I owe him and RackNerd a lot.
    And, I did get to learn a lot from everyone here and the earlier threads. So, I am grateful for that as well.
    I wish RackNerd all the success it deserves!

    it's not about anyone but more about you helping RN thread to stay on top and drum up more sales, this is what you should think about. i will get back on the DM as it's time to sleep right now. keep your chin up. only 5 days left, a WHOLE MONTH is behind, this is just peanuts, although they might turn out the hardest to swallow..

    it's as if you're a part of the sales team and going to get a nice bonus for this holiday rush.. =)

    Lol! In a way, yes. Hope you guys have real meaningful convo in the upcoming threads and keep the RackNerd cheer and spirit alive.

    In the meantime, what I said earlier still stands. I would always be a RackNerd and Dustin fan and will help hype RN threads up whenever I can.

    Especially when there's a free PC in it for you.

    Never denied it. And no, as I said, you guys won. I am not gonna spend time for work in hopes of getting that PC anymore.

    What exactly do you think we've won? Even assuming that "we" are a we.

    I will definitely research this though, thanks for telling me. But, yah, I did see a data chart somewhere did say that UK had an unusually high number of arrests of people for things they said online.

    This did cast doubts on their promise of freedom of speech.

    Freedom of speech doesn't mean what you think it means.

    Often there's a thin lin between libel and freedom os speech, I understand.

    No, just google what freedom of speech is. It doesn't mean you are free to speak about absolutely anything you want. There are very defined limits.

    Will do. Thanks

    Great!

    Asking for a friend... Does he really ship those prizes if you win em?

    Only to the US, as said in the main thread. Otherwise, it's credits. He does ship smaller items like sweater and backpack internationally cause they are racknerd merch.

    So you'll never get your pc?

    I am planning to have it shipped to my cousin in the US. He will pay me for it minus the GPU, which he will bring to me next month when he comes to India.

    I still can't believe you'd trust this "cousin", especially now he's moved to the land of the free PC.

    Ralf, I have said this multiple times how indian families work. You can drop this now, cause you guys won.
    I am gonna prioritise peace of mind over anything else now :)

    I haven't won anything. Although now I've caught up, I can see there's been lots of drama since the post I was replying to.

    FWIW I still think that if this story if true, and if you win, there is a decent chance of you never seeing the PC or the money.

    Ok, that's your opinion. And fwiw, I don't think I have to justify my choice anymore. So, as I said, please drop this.

    Ok. Alright.

    I know that's half of it. But, I have been able to optimise some training pipelines for CPU training. Moreover, there are projects that are meant for low VRAM GPUs. I could atleast get started with those with a Gpu

    I thought you had a "cousin" who could fence this PC for you!

    Yes, if I was in the USA I could get it on my own and won't have to wait

    Honestly, that's about the weirdest reason you could have for wanting to live in the US.

    I mean, please, that's not the only reason I would want to move to the US. I was talking in this context. Cmon man.

    Ok. Alright.

    I would like to travel through the US, maybe the Grand Canyon and stuff. Maybe just a few years of enjoying life in another country.

    They can have the prizes. I am not gonna try as actively as I did earlier, or might not try at all. But, as said again, I am glad I won't be actively participating in the competitions anymore. I don't think I have have what it takes to survive this anymore.
    Prolly, the relaxants have helped me from breaking down after the convo earlier.

    But, as usual, I will try to hype up any subsequent threads when I can, cause Dustin has been real kind to me over the years and I owe him and RackNerd a lot.
    And, I did get to learn a lot from everyone here and the earlier threads. So, I am grateful for that as well.
    I wish RackNerd all the success it deserves!

    it's not about anyone but more about you helping RN thread to stay on top and drum up more sales, this is what you should think about. i will get back on the DM as it's time to sleep right now. keep your chin up. only 5 days left, a WHOLE MONTH is behind, this is just peanuts, although they might turn out the hardest to swallow..

    it's as if you're a part of the sales team and going to get a nice bonus for this holiday rush.. =)

    Lol! In a way, yes. Hope you guys have real meaningful convo in the upcoming threads and keep the RackNerd cheer and spirit alive.

    In the meantime, what I said earlier still stands. I would always be a RackNerd and Dustin fan and will help hype RN threads up whenever I can.

    Especially when there's a free PC in it for you.

    Never denied it. And no, as I said, you guys won. I am not gonna spend time for work in hopes of getting that PC anymore.

    What exactly do you think we've won? Even assuming that "we" are a we.

    I just meant that I a putting a stop to my dreams of getting that PC. It would be really kind of you if you could drop the talks of that as well.

    Ok. Alright.

    Thank you for your understanding. Appreciate it.
