fulg,

I thought the main issue with NordVPN was, good luck trying to close your account once you’ve signed up.

I don’t really remember, I use another provider and would avoid NordVPN if only due to their aggressive YouTuber push, they must be a scam!

fulg,

To be fair, USB-C didn’t exist when Lightning was introduced, and it was vastly superior to Micro-USB.

It doesn’t really have any reason to exist now…

Agreed with your other points though!

I have an old iPad that I try to reuse for another purpose and all the locks to stop me to keep using it make it such a pain in the butt, when the alternative is simply to enable developer mode on an Android tablet.

Thankfully I remembered when buying a laptop and skipped the very enticing M-series hardware, because in 5-7 years that thing is a brick destined for the landfill.

fulg,

This is the way! I did this recently with a recent Win11 Pro installation.

This is also the proper way to name the user’s folder yourself instead of letting Microsoft decide. The auto namer often makes poor choices and renaming it breaks a lot of stuff unless you wipe and reinstall.

fulg,

I used to limit myself to the card that didn’t have any annual fees. Practically all my purchases are made with a credit card (all paid back in full by the end of the month), so it turns out to be really worth it to take the card with the most advantages and highest cashback rates. They pay me back the yearly cost of the card many many times over.

The catch is, if the amount of transactions starts to drop below a certain threshold, it might not be worth it anymore.

Note that I am in Canada, not the US. Not sure if that makes any difference here.

fulg,

I would think they will at least wait until the order is confirmed (payment processed on your card?). They do mention in that email that you can lose the preorder bonus if you change your preorder to remove the GPU module prior to shipping.

I haven’t followed when Starfield is supposed to launch, I am in no rush to play.

fulg,

That’s the email I was referring to, I thought you had seen it. So not the actual code but a confirmation that you will get one if you don’t change your preorder until then.

fulg,

I just got my code yesterday night…

No sign of the transaction on my credit card though.

fulg,

Because I can now change my mind about the preorder and boom, free game?

Not gonna do it, I want the laptop and the GPU 😁

I guess they decided to risk it so preorders get to play the game at the same time as everyone else, even if the hardware itself is shipped a few weeks/months behind.

fulg,

If you back out you get the deposit back (well maybe not now!), that’s how most deposits work unless it specifically says it is non-refundable.

Anyway. Also super excited to get the laptop! Can’t wait. I hope I don’t regret giving AMD a chance this time.
