INFIDEL on Bonus Data for 12 Months on Monthly SIM Plans: 40GB/M+20GB/M $35/M, 100GB+100GB for $45, 160GB+80GB $55 @ Belong

Can this be used a secondary sim just for the 100gb of data and to cancel before next recharge? Effectively just $20.00 for 100gb of data?…

Very tempting - anyone know about m4 air launch date? Saw some dates saying March 25’ and not sure if I can hold out

If you still need to buy DDR4 ram + AM4 motherboard then probably better to go AM5. AM5 mobo + 7500F/7600 + 32GB 6000MHZ RAM is much the…

Unless your getting paid to make content not at all, save that $700 and buy the next 4080 tier GPU if you aren’t using one already.

Got a 7700 for $260. Thanks OP! Anyone know of a decent value 64gb 2x32gb 6000mhz ram Kit? Does CL30,32,34 matter if the plan is to slot in…

Thanks a heap for that info. Yeah I slept on the last 27Q eBay deal a few weeks ago thinking I’d go UWHD, but now set on 2 x 27” 1440.

Anyone here able to vouch for this monitor? Tossing up between this, Dell G2724D or LG 27GP850-B.

Suicide squad is so poorly optimised that even my bros 4090 was getting mega frame drops during certain scenes.

Anyone know if they've fixed the unusually high idle wattage with dual-screen setups? Have read about people getting 80w + readings.
