order everything from aliexpress and forget about them within a month. that way every time something arrives, it's like the mid-autumn festival!

or microcenter, i suppose

in some states it's still the mid aughts where micro center exists and they still have the old posters of famous computer touchers on the wall next to an absolutely beastly selection of home and corporate networking equipment

wanna hem and haw over usb cables? there's a whole aisle of them. feeling lucky? check out the returns, discounts, refurbs, and clearance section

bring your most dad-at-the-hardware-store demeanor over to micro center today!

we have the rear end in a top hat cousin of microcenter, canada computers

useful occasionally, but pricey and staffed exclusively by Super Goony Assholes for the most part

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

ime the ones around here are pretty good, and they used to price match, although i have no idea if they still do.

i got a 3070 in early 2021 at MSRP at the one downtown toronto because they just so happened to get a shipment in that morning and there were some one the shelves when i went in

the one in brampton was managed by a guy who was a co-op student at my last retail computer job

so yes, that part is accurate

also i ordered some 3m aura masks on amazon that never arrived. got a refund but my review of the item said “i wonder if amazon will remove this fraudulent seller from their platform because products you order but never arrive are bad for the customer” and it got flagged for violating their “community guidelines”

this “item” was a pack only available from this seller. it’s a completely fake item with (now, not when i ordered it) all 1 star reviews.
