40% is total bullshit. The best deals (thanks slickdeals!) leave you within $100 of building your own and having to deal with zero rebates... And not having to deal with actually building the damn thing.

Definitely not 40%. I saved maybe 10% on my Ryzen build. Prebuilts are super cheap anymore. I walked into Best Buy a month after building my computer and found an R7 Dell tower with a 1070 and 16gb of RAM for about 700. I was just straight up blown away.

I’ve always bought pre-build computers. They tend to work great, and have excellent customer service, to boot. I guess if you want to micromanage the whole thing you can buy parts individually, but sometimes just having something reliable is worth the extra bit of money.

I hear there are ads as well, but my script blockers seem to work great.

Funny, very funny. Now get Gandpa a bottle of Olde Fortran Malt Liquor!

Is it really that wrong for companies to not want to hire people over or below certain ages for certain jobs?

Because it’s Mozilla - they live for dumb decisions.

sure, if one of your fundamental guiding principles is the sanctity of user privacy and security I guess a good way to emphasize that is to install a secret plugin without the user’s permission that looks like malware.

Firefox deserves all the backlash it’s getting for this stupid fucking prank - i like most who saw this wasted time tracking down its origin to make sure it wasn’t malware.

You’d think the whole U2 fiasco would have taught companies this is a bad idea.

Mr. Robot game is to Firefox as U2 album is to iPhones.

DVD + Handbrake + Plex + Data redundancy.

Yeah, Facebook definitely programmed me. It programmed me to not use Facebook because it’s shit.

In b4 the great Bitcoin short of 2017.

Screw Bitcoins, I’m investing in tulips.

The only risk to the public is people who don’t understand how to invest. This is the polar opposite of buy low, sell high. It’s “buy sky high, hope it somehow gets higher.” It’s like buying stocks when the economy is at a peak. People see high numbers and think get rich quick, without realizing you can just as easily…

I still think that “armchair tourism” is the best bet for VR to take off for any kind of mainstream success. Let’s be honest most people don’t have an entire room of half a room to COMPLETELY clear of any and everything you WILL trip on by trying to walk around in the virtual/real world. And until a viable not crazy…
