And you should definitely grab SponsorBlock for your browser too, just like urbanheron4 suggested. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=spo...=v344-1&ia=web

It works flawlessly on Mozilla.
Monitor buying guide (mega-thread) in Computer Peripherals ·
Buy a Democratic Party monitor and you get an extra 2 years of warranty thrown in for free.
To grab this deal, just toss the monitor and the matching warranty into your cart.
You'll find the right warranty option listed right under the monitor image.
Offer runs from February 15th through February 22nd, 2021.

It says this right under the header 😁

If you're planning on grabbing that through PayPal, they're actually throwing in an extra 2 years of warranty—basically free insurance right now.

https://www.amazon.com/ink-cartridges

Prices are pretty much the same across the board for the other colors. I've pumped out somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 pages so far and I've barely even touched two-thirds of my black ink cartridge.

I've been running this thing for over a year now. Honestly? Zero issues so far. Plus, if you bother to register it on Epson's website, they bump the warranty up to 3 years.

You can grab a 24" for that kind of cash too https://www.nabava.net/monitori/acer...8-169-67314931

Matthew Anderson said:I'm a total newbie here. Can someone explain VA vs TN vs IPS?

Sure.

Avoid TN panels like the plague.

As for VA vs IPS—go to a Best Buy or something and see them in person. It’s all about what you like. VA has better contrast, but IPS gives you better colors and wider viewing angles. It's purely subjective.

By the way, if cash isn't an issue, this is what I'd personally aim for: https://www.newegg.com/p/3440x1440+100hz In terms of height (and pixel density), it's basically like a 27" 16:9 monitor http://www.displaywars.com/27-inch-16x9-vs-34-inch-21x9

Don't even think about it. A 22" screen with a TN panel? That's a joke. You can grab a decent 24" monitor for basically the same price. Check these out:

Plus, you get an SSD bundled with this one.
Fix this old junk or just scrap it? in Desktops ·
Nah, just grab whichever one is sitting there. As long as it comes with a 5-year warranty, you're golden. You won't even notice the performance difference in real-world use anyway.

Even Intel offers a 5-year warranty on this one https://www.nabava.net/ssd-disk__194...b-25__46823131
LED monitors and eye strain in Computer Peripherals ·
Check out some Dell monitors that have a low blue light setting. Just make sure you grab an IPS or a VA/AMVA panel—stay far away from TN panels. Set that blue light filter to -30% and you’re golden.

Something like this, for example: https://www.nabava.net/monitori__90?...846,322,994053
Western Union in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
I’ve only dealt with the Post Office, and they deal strictly in US dollars—not sure how the other guys handle it. You can't dodge the exchange rate because they just slap on that Western Union fee and call it a day. That's their whole racket. I just went back and crunched the numbers on my transfers from the last few months, and I was mostly seeing around $1.10 to $1.12 per Euro. But the one I got about ten days ago? It hit $1.15. Total rip-off.

I definitely don't want the IRS breathing down my neck over 2,600 dollars; under these new regulations, they'll squeeze anyone for no reason at all.

So, he'll send the Western Union online, pay a 30 dollar fee, and then I can just pick it up at the post office using an MCC number without extra commissions—is that actually doable?

Sure, you can do that, but you better listen to what Mephisto is telling you—the exchange rate is absolute garbage. You’d end up getting about $2.50 per dollar, and they only pay out in US dollars.
Which PSU should I buy? in Desktops ·
Eh, honestly? You're better off grabbing this one instead: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Power-Supply-600-W-Bronze/dp/B01M0PZ6L2

It's just a massive step up.
Man, what a waste they don't have this in stock. 😬

They're on sale right now, so I'm grabbing one too: http://www.bestbuy.com/memory-storage
Jason Fisher59 said:Let's say we're looking at a standard home setup—no gaming, no heavy video editing, no photo retouching. Just basic stuff: web browsing, music, movies, Microsoft Office, PDFs, burning DVDs, printing, scanning, all that. How do those little Celeron chips perform in those tiny builds? Are they actually up to the task for "everyday home use"?

They're solid. I grabbed this one: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Q1900M/ and I’m loving it. It’s quiet, stays cool, and handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat.
