  • Yes for sure, a farmer or artisan dealing in smaller volume knows their costs, and will deal for bulk buy etc. Modern corporate sellers know their fixed cost of procurement, warehousing, profit required, and logistics costs, so the price is the price...unless you can deal at the upper corp level for huge buys

  • Some people don't quite get pricing and that they seem to want to hang onto their junk (they are selling) rather than let it go for a reasonable price.

    One guy had a B/G router on Craigslist for the price of a new AC/X router. I sent a helpful message "hey these sell for $5 because they are obsolete, at your price nobody will buy that except a grandma that knows nothing about WiFi."

    He replied with a tirade of nasty insults, that I ignored. Few days later he emails against asking if I want it for $10.

    I replied that I don't want it , it is obsolete, I was trying to help so you don't sit on it without a sale. And he replied with more swearing and insults.

    3 months later I see it still for sale, and still too high. So I could not resist a little "I told you so" message.

  • Well this explain my vietnamese neighbour's behaviour, she's always complaining about store prices and trying to get stuff discounted. Her day is made if something was on sale, even if it wasn't something she needed. It feels like a win for her

  • Our typing class in high school was this teacher spouting nonsense letter combos and us following those dqyvafter day until we had covered home row , upper and lower, then moving onto coping sentences. Reptitiion works. Find your home row dimples on the key board then today is fjf fjf fjf fjf fjf fjf, tomorrow is another

  • My daughter was in a state searching all over before she left the house, when I asked what she was looking for, she said "my phone". My other daughter piped up " you have it to your ear, you are talking on it"

  • If you happen to choose OpenSUSE, the " install recommends " will detect nVidia and load some drivers to get it working, but you can also add a specific repo nVidia hosts for Leap and Tumbleweed and download the Drivers / Cuda etc. They work great, so ignore the previous commentor. Laptops with dual GPU need you to setup a switching app to save power, when you don't need to power the nVidia. If your BIOS has a discrete graphics mode selection, you can choose hybrid, but if your OS has trouble you can set it to discrete only so nVidia is always used. I had to do this on one machine because the OS saw the two GPUs and was trying to treat them has two displays instead of one composite display choice
