I just spotted these Newegg "Back-to-School" memory and storage deals in my email. I'm not familiar with some of the brands, but the prices seem reasonable considering the current component crisis...

JFC Newegg. I would like to not have to opt out of your goddamn fucking mailing list every time I purchase something.
-
In the coming months, you will see #Palit / #Gainward, #Sapphire, #Zotac, #PowerColor, #Seasonic, #GSkill and #TeamGroup, #ASRock, #Kingston, etc. selling direct to consumer (#D2C).
Many of them will opt to outsource their store to #AliExpress, #NewEgg or #Amazon.
#Microcenter will be the last bastion of DYI PC.

@mason I feel this in my bones & work diligently to NOT use Amazon.
Here's my alternatives:
1) Buy locally from independent stores like #AceHardware
2) Online electronics from #BHPhotoStore, #Crutchfield or #staplesMaybe more questionable:
#Walmart - are they better than Amazon? (serious question)
#NewEgg - electronics
#bestbuy - improving?Even with all this - Amazon is often the cheapest & easiest alternative for many... good luck with convincing people to not shop there.

I don't want to toot my own horn too much, but I just placed an order at #Newegg and remembered to uncheck the fucking mailing list subscription checkbox before clicking the "Place order" button. You should be impressed.

WoW I saw this & it's balls crazy🤪
So the Corsair 96GB(2x48GB) DDR5 RAM CMH96GX5M2B7200C40
that I bought for $369 on January 2025.
Is now on #Newegg & #Corsair website for $1,196🤯
#Amazon has it for $766.91 but it's shipping from Germany.
They say the price of DDR5 RAM is rising primarily due to the massive demand for AI & data centers.
So once again AI has made buying hardware a pain in the ass, first it was GPU's & now RAM
Is all this AI stuff worth no one having good hardware🙄 -
failed at not buying things this season.
Bought a couple WD Red Plus CMRs - how much am I gonna hate myself in the near future?

My buddy Ben got to make this pretty funny video for his work at Newegg:

Why is it so hard to find 64GB (kit of 2) #DDR4 3600MHz CL16 #RAM >:( They're almost always either CL18, or CL16 but limited to 32GB instead (also kit of 2) - which is already what I have.
There's one by #GSkill I found but only on #Newegg (which doesn't ship to Malaysia I don't think) + that has ugly RGB on it which isn't what I want at all. -
I don't think I knew about NewEgg until at least five years after that, possibly ten.
What's wrong with today's #NewEgg?

Tampermonkey script: no, Newegg, I don’t freakin’ want to subscribe
Over the years I have repeatedly been tripped up by the fact that Newegg‘s checkout form has a mailing list subscribe checkbox which they randomly check by default, so if you forget to uncheck it you get subscribed. I have been subscribed to their list against my will over and over because of this. It’s frankly a mystery to me why they don’t remember when people have unsubscribed and stop resubscribing them, but I guess they think it earns them more in revenue than it drives away in pissed-off customers.
Anyway, now Tampermonkey will uncheck the box for me so I don’t have to remember.
The script is published on Greasy Fork. Here it is here as well:

Large Lying Model. Seriously, if you're going to use this shit for sales inquiries, make sure they're not generating RMAs.

Ok so... This is an "interesting" flipping scam. (As if I didn't have enough to worry about.)
I ordered an emergency radio from NewEgg because I am trying so hard to avoid Amazon.
It arrived today. From Amazon. As a "gift." (The product box inside was smashed, and there's a rattle, so I suspect the radio is broken even.)
The price of the radio on Amazon is $32.
I paid $59 to NewEgg.
I can return it to Amazon for an Amazon gift card. For $32.
I guess now I have a new thing to do today, which is to figure out if I can report this to NewEgg, get a refund, and get this seller pwned. NewEgg Seller = Orange Techno Store. I have no reason to believe they have any relation to the Amazon seller.
Then I have to find a different radio.
Effing A.

Got a replacement power cord for my previous router (I'd tossed a LOT of stuff) thinking that I could split Mother's ethernet cable from there, but it was not to be NewEgg has Ethernet splitters on offer, none of which are reviewed. So-ooo... Do I have a really long blue one lying around somewhere or nah? Do I really need two, or three, or four comptuers chugging away at all times?

NewEgg has a marvelous NGE-themed popwer switch. Be still, my emacianted wallet, be still...

What's really needed, now, is an AZ-5 that'll fry your computer.

Acer monitor from Big Liquidaters arrived perched on a Home Depot box inside a Home Depot box. This gives me occasion to clean the Computer Suite... Danielle was with more determination than skill tracking a mouse!

TIL that some computer monitor specs on #newegg don't include wattage. Deleted from my Wishlist forthwith.
-
Surprised that some hardware I'd put on my #NewEgg Wishlist had been ordered Friday June 2023. Vaguely recalled that it hadn't worked, so I binned it. Shall hie to Computer Central and hit some yard sales along the way. Too, this'll cheer me up.

⚮⚮⚮Just bought 258 and 128 KB Kingston USB flash drives from #NewEgg. Hopefully one will serve as a key fob that won't get fried.

⚮⚮⚮Nice amortized #Albertsons "Hot Box" yesterday in lieu of pizza: 1.075 kg/€7.71. -
Newegg twice today: a package is on its way!
Me: awww, Newegg, you know how to make me happy.
