how do they make the website like that? Text that can’t be selected, but isn’t an image or anything like that. It resizes the line breaks properly as I zoom in and out, so my system recognizes it as just normal text, but I can’t select it (highlight) or anything.
Easy solution. Sell the GPU’s via click and reserve, make the buyer provide a resedential address and then require ID on collection since it’s high value. If the address on the ID does not match the billing address provided, refund the order due to an invalid address being provided. Here in the UK it is common practice to expect people to show ID when collecting an item they have reserved online, especially for high value items, it’s basic fraud prevention.
This is just to act like they’re doing something to prevent it, they don’t actually care who gives them the money.
i’m confused on why because when i was there in December everything was marked up to match USA prices…only thing i found to actually be cheaper was uniqlo
This is dumb in so many ways
What’s stopping foreigners from just getting their local friends to buy on their behalf?
We are already on 50 series?! My lord. I got a 3060ti in 2020 just as 40 series was coming around. What is the big difference? Or are gpu models starting to follow the trend of mobile phones?
I’m sure for use specific cases they have improvements but over all my 3060ti does just fine. Ray tracing is not great on it though.
It’s kinda pricey here, too. I’m surprised it’s cheaper.
That’s why my bud was asking me to buy him one
This is going to end up like kids hanging around outside shops trying to find an adult to go in and buy them beer lol
Nice try. You can’t reverse psychology me into buying that shit.
Chinese tourists…
