I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.

  • OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.

And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...

I've yet to see any #GPU at #MSRP in #Germany!

  • They all are #overpriced for no valid reason whatsoever and it pisses me off, because I didn't buy a #GTX1050 or #Vega64 as an #invsstment, but right now both cards.that I was able to snipe at €100 each are actually rising in value because #AMD, #nvidia & #intel only shit out expensive stuff and don't even have MSRP-priced merch available.

Worse there ain't even #LowEnd [< €100] or actual #MidRange [€250 - €500] cards available at MSRP!

As #GamersNexus pointed out: This is #Greedflation!

There is no other explaination re: 42% above #MSRP for #GPU|s that ain't having hands-on customer support for extreme overclocking!

  • Like those were absurd but one could at least justify the price with the added cost of having to basically pre-pay at least 1 hour (if not multiple hours) of labour for a spechalized technician that walks people through on #extreme #overclocking!

The leaked files from the disclosure seclists.org/fulldisclosure/20 have since been removed from developercommunity.visualstudi. Someone on Reddit (reddit.com/user/TapAppropriate) posted a direct link to a download from azurewebsites.net that's been taken down now too. The #InternetArchive has the files still at:
web.archive.org/web/2024062421

Unfortunately I cannot verify whether those files/the link was the original file or a re-upload. But at least all files within `ICE REPRO.zip/Linker/linkrepro.zip' match the size (in bytes) of the originals as given in the listing on seclists.

The file download from there has the sha256 hash:

d4c1a74f81e5259596466027ebac9f7eb026931c7cef02e5c37d884bbbb7f96f ICE_REPRO.zip

---

In addition, the disclosure notes that the MS symbol server does (STILL ONLINE!) leak the PDB of warbird.dll if requested. A backup has been re-upped here: files.catbox.moe/8iz2qk.pdb

Again, the sha256 hash. This has been matched against the original served by the MS symbol server:

2e8b5e0c17b4a4693ed494444f347f22a2eed15bcade18a5ac25d370011f8aa5 warbird.dll.pdb

---

I provide those hashes just for people to be on the safe side while analyzing the files. Keep in mind that accessing those files may be illegal.

@SirTapTap considering the amount of #scalping of @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPi's and the fact that the #Pi5B will lilely not be available at #MSRP until the #Pi6B or #CM5 or #Pi500 get released, I can recommend to take a look at #ThinClients, because they have regular #amd64 #CPU's, plenty of ports, are almost always #fanless and also barely sip power.

I do use some #hp #t520 as #MiniServers to do #backups and #torrent #linux distros and just be things I can offload building OS/1337 to...

@Natanox @Stege I have found #LinusTechTips as a good source for general advice, but if I'm looking for precise technical details, I've found it less helpful.

For example I got one of those refurbished and way-below #MSRP #Dell desktops (because companies buy them in bulk and then dump them in bulk so they're a great steal, highly recommend if you don't plan on modding the system too much BTW) and wanted to upgrade the GPU. He recommended three or four GPUs for the computer I had in one of his videos, I believed, but according to other sources, not all of them were actually compatible with that computer's motherboard.

His videos did save me tons of time in researching which GPUs would work and helped me narrow things down a bit but I'm glad I didn't use them to make the final decision on which #GPU I actually bought at the end of the day.
