But are you certain they aren't new and this is a scam? I'm interested to know how you determined those are used.

Btw, where does it say "Nuovo"? I can't find it. Is it not on the screenshot?

But "e-waste" means something so outadet that it's useless. Or unrepairable. Those computers are perfectly fine for 80% of users.

And are they explicitly saying that these are new? While you know for sure it's heavily used equipment?

Do you mean you wouldn't consider it a scam if it has W10 preinstalled instead? How much is MS Office anyway? I know there are $5 W11 keys all over the place.

That seems like an entirely different problem from the one being discussed.

Could you explain why you consider these overpriced/scam? If those use new parts and come with warranty, at least the top one, seems fine. Can you do a breakdown of what it should cost?

My Windows PC has i5-6500 in it and I definitely don't consider it e-waste.

Isn't that artificially colored?

Nah, she would've been a bike.

I can't extract a yo momma joke from that though

What are they implying with that wide-ass door for women?

It's definitely easier to find weird stuff with all the streaming services. But I don't often look for stuff, and back then the good stuff found me. I'll occasionally even look at what's trending now to try and find something interesting, but I rarely see anything.

Either way, it's not just my opinion, it can be verified empirically, there is way less variety in popular music these days. I even remember Vsauce had a video about that. And it applies to other mediums as well. All big budget movies are generic. All AAA games are either live service or Assassins's Creed but Vikings/Hackers/Jedi/etc. And by "all" I mean "most", of course. If you want the good stuff you either go indie or retro.
