My first Motorola with Android was a Moto E 2015, a long time ago now. It was a bad phone in terms of potential. But I couldn't afford much better back then. It lasted me a few years until I got better phones, but second-hand. Although now I've been buying new phones from stores.

The thing is, I have a mix of Chinese phones and Motorolas at home. Currently, I use a Poco Phone M7 Pro 5G that my brother gave me. Then I have another Moto G55 5G 8GB/256GB as a secondary phone that I used to use as my main phone.

Well, the Moto has given me more problems with updates than the Poco Phone based on Xiaomi (they both have the same SoC). The Android 16 update was late on the Motorola and it drained the battery. Something that seems to be working a bit better now after the latest update. And Android 17? Well, maybe with luck they'll release it in 1-2 years. That is, unless they say it's outdated or the update simply bricks the phone.

In the entry-level range, I bought two Moto G4s. One with 4GB/64GB that I never take out of the house (I use it for audio with the screen off) and another with 8GB/128GB that I use when I go running or hiking in the countryside. Well, both are stuck on Android 14 and won't be updated anymore. Even so, last year there was a bug that broke all the phone's sensors, and they had to fix it afterward.

However, if you buy the Moto G6 or the next model, those do come with updates.

I have or have had phones from Vivo, Realme, Honor... even the cheapest ones update to a new version of Android when you least expect it. It happened to me with a Huawei tablet that went from Android 14 to 16. A Vivo phone that started with Android 11 eventually got Android 14, and the last one was a Realme Note 70t. A very basic 4GB/64GB phone that cost me €55 on AliExpress last year. Well, it just updated to Android 16.

I live in Europe, specifically in Spain. That's why Motorola runs promotions every so often. Their phones have a bad reputation, which is why few people buy them. Their phones age worse due to poor support. If this Realme phone survives a few years, it will be more usable with modern apps than the Moto G04s, even though the latter are better.

Como vendedor tienes que soportar las ofertas absurdas aunque tengas puesto el artículo a menor precio posible. Pero como comprador casi que es peor.

He comprado en el pasado algo de ropa para mi madre. Pero menos un incidente con inpost, no tuve más incidencia. Pero sí en electrónica/informática:

Gente que no envía los artículos aunque se coman después un voto negativo. Tuve problemas para que enviasen unos módulos de ram ddr4. Teniendo que comprar de más e incluso teniendo que vender lo sobrante porque la gente no cumplía después. Si necesitaba por decir algo 4 módulos de ram, acabé comprando 6-7 para que llegasen al menos 4.

Me ha pasado ya de abrir alguna que otra disputa por artículo roto o problemas con inpost y los casilleros. Me marcaban como entregado sin ni siquiera haber dejado allí el paquete. El soporte de vinted es lento y malo. El envío de vuelta lo acabas pagando tú y siempre quiere que lleguéis a una acuerdo de mutuo acuerdo. Aunque el vendedor no admita la culpa.

La última es comprar un módulo de ram a "buen precio" para un pc viejo, ya que no quería pagar mucho para un pc de 10 años. Pues lo he probado en 3 pcs y viene roto. Ahora a líos con vinted y he comprado el módulo en cex aunque me haya costado más caro.

Para estas cosas voy a mirar más cex e incluso wallapop, ya que en el pasado he obtenido más seriedad que en vinted. En vinted con suerte al ser de muchos países puedes rascar a veces productos más baratos que en wallapop. Pero a costa de jugártela con posibles problemas y luego el soporte de vinted. Al final he descubierto que no merece la pena para determinados productos vinted.

My ordeal began in March 2024. It started with cramps after consuming dairy products. Then it was gluten, and then I eliminated all FODMAPs. I was tested for celiac disease, and the results were negative. I was treated for Helicobacter pylori because I had chronic gastritis. I tested negative for SIBO.

I wasn't getting completely better. Finally, I discovered I had a sensitivity/allergy to dairy products, even lactose-free ones.

Talking to people from my country and looking at certain subreddits, I discovered that my problem was due to intestinal permeability from consuming high-carb diets.

I tried a carnivore diet for a few months. But I could never solve the excessive thirst I experienced without taking a lot of electrolytes. Currently, I follow an animal-based diet.

I also have problems with fruit. If I eat a lot in one day, I have digestive issues several hours later. It's like I can't tolerate the same amount of food as I used to.

My problem is that my gut has become much slower than it was years ago. If I ate a plate of legumes, I'd get foul-smelling gas for hours after about five. But my gut bacteria were able to digest those difficult foods. Now it's not the same. I end up bloated and have trouble passing gas. It rarely smells, even when I eat difficult foods. It's worse in the summer because I retain fluid and my intestinal motility is even slower.

I've tried probiotics, kombucha tea, and things like that. Although I've noticed some improvement in some cases, the problem is that all of that only works while you're taking it. Those bacteria don't last in the human gut.

The problem with all of this is that my quality of life is suffering. The gut is the second brain, and if it's not functioning properly, it affects energy levels, sleep, and that dreaded brain fog.

Any tips for getting better?

I installed nagram-x to block ads on Telegram on android. The problem is, it doesn't work completely. For example, I go to a local news channel and it shows me 3 new posts. I open it and there's only 1 to see. The rest are gone.

I don't know if it's a bug in the program or if it also shows me ads even though they're not visible. But it's really annoying.

This happens much less often on Ayugram on PC than on Android. Is there anything I can do to make sure the new posts are real and not inflated?

We went from an era where many survival horror games became more action-oriented. Now it's the other way around.

Since The Evil Within entered the equation about 10 years ago, many survival horror games have copied its formula.

Currently, we have three types of survival horror:

Those where you don't attack and simply run away, like those based on Amnesia, Outlast, or Alien: Isolation.

Action survival horror games, like some Resident Evil games or Dead Space.

Those based on The Evil Within.

I didn't like The Evil Within because of its infernal difficulty, in my opinion, and/or for my skill level. You needed to kill a lot of enemies, but at the same time, the game was very stingy with ammunition. You were always running very low on it.

The trend in survival horror is to move towards that type of game. Calisto Protocol, Alan Wake 2, Chronos: The New Dawn... They even copied this formula with the missions featuring Grace in Resident Evil Requiem.

The old Resident Evil games were difficult because people didn't know how to play them and because of the technical limitations of the time. Not being able to aim as you wanted, clumsy and slow movements... But if you play them now, they're easier than these current survival horror games. In Resident Evil 2, you could play on easy mode and start with over 100 pistol bullets. With Resident Evil 3, you could start with the machine gun and plenty of ammo. Now, even if you have an easy mode, it's not easy by any stretch of the imagination. If every time you pick up ammo you're given two bullets to then hold off five enemies, that's not easy mode.

For example, I really liked Alan Wake II. But I hated the limited number of flashlight charges. I had to use a trainer or the developer's secret cheat code. In the end, I got fed up with having to play with cheats because the game wasn't balanced for people who want a simpler, different kind of experience. In Alanwake II, exploration wasn't encouraged, since if you found 10 bullets and had to kill 10 enemies along the way, it wasn't worth it.

Now I'm playing Chronos: The New Dawn, and it's by far the worst of them all. The aiming is the worst there is for enemies that last a long time, and it's by far the stingiest with ammo. I installed an easy mode mod and other tricks to craft ammo easily, and even that didn't help.

The survival horror genre suffers from the same problem as many Metroidvanias and similar indie games. Because they're niche games, developers focus on making things they like and release games with much more challenge than their older ones to please the long-time players.

But many of us no longer have the skill we once did, nor the time, and besides, we have other games waiting in the wings to die 20 times in one game.

I'm going to give up on survival horror and leave it as a thing of the past. I don't like what they've done to that genre. I don't enjoy games if I have to use a trainer to remove limitations that the developer didn't bother to implement.

I have both. I was using DDR3 systems until recently due to the RAM shortage. Since I was able to buy cheap components with DDR4, I've been upgrading and retiring the DDR3 systems.

My gaming PC has an i5 8500 + 16GB of DDR4 2666MHz (they're actually 3200MHz modules) and a RX 6600 8gb

My main PC has an i7 6700 with 16GB of DDR4 RAM.

I have another H410M motherboard with an i3 10100F. According to some online benchmarks, they're similar. But in Cinebench R15, the i5 performs slightly better. The difference is that if I upgrade to an i5 10400F, the old i5 8500 won't stand a chance.

Is it worth using the i3 for my gaming PC until I buy the i5, or should I stick with the i5 8500?

En el black friday pasado estuve buscando tarjetas gráficas antiguas de poco importe para actualizar lo viejo que tenía en casa. Pues una era una tarjeta que estaba un poco más baja de precio. El caso es que desde noviembre sigue a la venta esa tarjeta. La he visto marcar como reservada (pagada por la app). Pero al de una semana vuelve a aparecer disponible

La otra es una tarjeta que se suele vender a 150€ de segunda mano y si se ven a 90-100€ vuelan en minutos. La tiene a 40€ Es una RTX 3050 6gb de bajo perfil a un precio de risa. El vendedor sólo tiene una reseña de 4 estrellas y el resto de productos a la venta tiene un precio normal.

Apareció como reservada (pagada por la app) y a la semana otra vez disponible. No terminan de venderse. El caso es que me mosquea todo eso y por eso no he comprado artículos que huelen a tongo.

Posibles hipótesis:

Artículos con taras no descritas y que la gente devuelve. El vendedor lo vuelve a poner a la venta sin decir los defectos

Vendedores vagos o que no envían a pesar de tener marcados los envíos. Entonces dejan caducar las ventas y siguen ahí eternamente

Son sondeadores para bajar precios de productos. Ponen productos falsos a la venta para forzar artificialmente a que el resto de vendedores vendan más barato y ellos comprar ese artículo a menor precio

El precio es un gancho para luego pedirte más dinero con la excusa que otros le ofrecen más

¿Alguien más?

It was a legendary card. It received the most support from Nvidia. Drivers were updated from February 2014 until the end of 2015. It was the entry-level card that consistently appeared in benchmarks for new games. For what it was, it was impressive that it could run games like Cyberpunk 2077.

However, it has aged very poorly because it supports the same thing as the rest of Nvidia's 600 and 700 series: DirectX 12 level 11.0. This means that many current games won't even run, while a GT 1030, which is worse, will. An AMD RX 550 is even a better option than the GTX 750 Ti right now.

I've owned many GTX 750 Ti cards because I used to test a lot of PC hardware, and the 750 Ti was very common and inexpensive. Currently, I only have one low-profile card left, which I'm going to use in a small form factor (SFF) office PC at my country house. This is because it's the most powerful low-profile card I can fit that supports VGA output without needing active adapters.

Currently, in my country and the rest of Europe, you can get a GTX 750 Ti for around €20-25. Some might say it's a good option for playing competitive and retro games. I don't see it that way. For a little more, you can buy a GTX 950/60, an RX 560, or even a GTX 1050 Ti, which have better DirectX 12 and Vulkan support. Competitive games are constantly being updated, and what you can run today with the 750 Ti might not work next month.

It's also not suitable for use with GNU/Linux. I used it once, and it performs poorly with Vulkan. To the point that a GT 1030 was better on GNU/Linux. That's not even considering that they're no longer supported on GNU/Linux.

If the GTX 750 Ti supported DirectX 12.1 like the rest of the GTX 900 series cards, it could still be a viable option.

I have an Honor Pad X8A tablet that I bought on AliExpress last summer. It's the 4GB/128GB version.

I've noticed that this has been happening since it updated to Honor Magic 10 with Android 16. It often happens that when I turn on the tablet, it takes a long time to reach the home screen. The tablet usually takes about 50 seconds to boot up the first time. But the first time it gets to the point of displaying the screen, it restarts and the whole process takes twice as long.

It's as if something is forcing it to restart again. It only happens the first time I turn it on from cold. After that, it doesn't happen anymore.

I've cleared the app cache, but it's still doing the same thing. What can I do besides a factory reset?

Pues es una plaga que filtre por envíos y dentro del anuncio. ¡No hago envíos!. ¡Sólo en mano! y la pestaña de envíos activados.

Aunque los peores son estos que encima dejan todo el anuncio redactado por la IA y sin cambiar ni una coma.

Envié el lunes pasado dos paquetes de poco importe. Pues uno llegó el viernes. El otro no.

SI fuera por correos el miércoles como muy tarde estaría en destino.

Aquí el problema. Me interesa que todo quede resuelto la misma semana y por eso envío lo más pronto que pueda. Pero con inpost es como comprar algo en otro país.

A veces pongo en los anuncios que no envío por inpost por tener problemas con ellos en el pasado. Pero si hago eso suelo tener menos interesados a no ser que venda un chollo o similar.

It's a Spanish-language website I visit. It's an economics and current affairs forum. The webmaster recently added an AI summary to topics with many comments, which I don't like and it ruins the forum's appearance. I selected the elements that bothered me and manually deleted them using uBlock. However, when I refresh the page and navigate to the next page, the manually deleted elements reappear. Even if it's just for half a second, it's annoying. What can I do to prevent them from being displayed?

By the way, I use Firefox.

I was using a Moto G55 that I bought last year, but my brother gave me a Poco Phone M7 Pro 5G. It has the same hardware, although the Moto is the 8GB/256GB version and the Poco is the 12GB/512GB version.

I use the Poco as my main phone and the other one as a secondary phone. The Poco was updated to Android 16 some time ago. But the Moto hasn't received it. When I turn it on, it always updates to some minor update, but there's no sign of Android 16.

On the other hand, I see on the forum that some people have received the Android 16 update on their Moto G35 without having to go through Android 15 first, which was much needed.

Another huge flaw is the update policy, forcing you to go through all the minor updates instead of updating directly to the latest version like it does on other phones.

I have, or have had, some Vivo phones at home that started with Android 11 and unexpectedly ended up with Android 14. I also have an Honor X8A tablet that no one expected anything from Honor. Well, it updated directly to Honor Magic 10 with Android 16. A tablet that cost me €87 on AliExpress.

With Motorola, nothing. I also have two Moto G04s that will never update to Android 15. But if you buy the following year's model, they do have the new version of Android.

Why am I complaining? I've had legendary phones in the past like the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus, and Motorola's update policies were a real burden. While a Samsung from that era would update to two new versions, Motorola, if you were lucky, would only update to one version, and even then, it was late. This meant that even with working phones, I had to install custom ROMs to keep using YouTube, Chrome, and those kinds of apps that now required at least Android 9.

When people say your phone is obsolete because that Android version is from a specific year, that's false. That date applies to Google Pixel phones. Your phone didn't get that version until much later. However, the end of app support starts from the release date of that version, and if your phone updates two years later, you've lost two years of app support.

At this rate, Android 17 will be released, and Motorola will still not release Android 16 for most of its phones.

My main workhorse PC has an i7 6700, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 500GB SATA SSD, and a 1TB HDD. All in a very small microATX case, only 28cm deep.

I have room for a dual-fan GTX 1060 6GB and an RX 570 4GB in an ITX form factor.

My gaming PC is a microATX tower in better condition than the first. It has an i5 8500 with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and an RX 6600 8GB. I use it like a gaming console for the most demanding games.

Here's the problem. Due to lack of space on my gaming PC (SSDs are very expensive now), I don't have room to install everything on my main gaming PC. So I finished Resident Evil Requiem on my primary PC and now I'm playing Forza Horizon 6.

Here are the problems. Resident Evil Requiem doesn't run smoothly with the GTX 1060. It's the same with the rest of the Nvidia 1000 and 900 series cards. I also experienced two crashes in the police station. But at least I was able to finish the game with the GTX 1060.

The problem with the 1000 series is that Nvidia stopped supporting them last November. If a game runs poorly, you're out of luck because Nvidia only releases drivers to fix security vulnerabilities. No game improvements.

At least when I tested it, AMD's RX 400 and 500 series cards performed better in this game than their Nvidia equivalents.

With Forza Horizon 6, it's even worse. The game runs quite well with the minimum requirements, which is a GTX 1650, judging from videos. But the same can't be said for the hardware in my main PC. With a GTX 1060, the game runs fairly well on medium settings. But it crashes every so often. It usually happens within minutes when you reach Tokyo. This happens to a lot of people with the GTX 1000 series, and even with the GTX 1080 Ti. They say this is fixed with the latest Nvidia drivers and is related to memory leaks. The fact is, there's no support for older Nvidia series, and the manufacturer warns that they don't provide support for those series. Only for those with Nvidia driver support.

Initially, the game wouldn't even start with my RX 570 because it requires at least DirectX 12.1, and older RX cards only support DirectX 12.0.

I found a fix online, and now the game works. However, it forced me to install a 2023 driver and open a file before launching the game, otherwise it wouldn't work. Even so, the game doesn't run perfectly on low settings and performs worse than a GTX 1650, which is supposedly inferior.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked if it was worth replacing these two cards and buying something similar with better support. I was told it would be a waste of money. But I see that's not the case. A consumer with the awful RX 6500 XT 4GB can play the game quite decently. On the other hand, someone with a 1080 Ti, which delivers high FPS, experiences crashes every few minutes with no magic solution.

I've passed up a few GTX 1660s thinking it was silly or because I didn't want to spend more money. But that was a mistake. Many people have older graphics cards and sometimes want to play modern games on them but can't. That's why you shouldn't dismiss the fact that older cards don't support certain technologies.

I don't know what's wrong, but sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds for videos to load. I have 300 Mbps symmetrical fiber optic internet, and it feels like I'm using my phone.

I've turned off ambient lighting and volume, but the problem persists. When I press play, a wheel just spins in the background like it's buffering. But this takes a long time. It used to be almost instantaneous.

What can I do?

Many people still have them or want to buy them for several reasons. They are very common on the used market. Secondly, they are the cheapest way to get a card with 8GB of VRAM. Thirdly, there's the price. For around $50, or sometimes even less, you can get a card with 8GB of VRAM and good performance for the price.

Their problems, to put it simply, are two. First, their drivers are almost legacy. New drivers are released every few months, but they aren't the official ones. This means they don't fix performance issues in games, and in some cases, you'll get a "drivers disabled" warning. The unofficial drivers are even older than the official ones.

Second, and most importantly, they don't properly support DirectX 12. Microsoft released DirectX 12 with different API levels:

Version 11.0, which supported the GTX 600 and 700 series.

Versions 11.1 and 11.2, which supported the first AMD HD 7000/R7/R9 series.

Version 12.0, which supported the first AMD R7 260X/R9 390 series and the RX 400/500 series.

Version 12.1, which was supported by Nvidia's GTX 900/1000 series and AMD's RX 5000 series.

Version 12.2, which is supported by Nvidia's Turing series (RTX 2000 series) and AMD's RX 6000 series and later.

The RX 400/500 series only support DirectX 12 level 12.0. Many current games require at least DirectX 12.1.

More and more games run on a GTX 1050 Ti, but not on an RX 580 8GB, which is a better card. Examples:

Spiderman 2 crashes after a short time and can't be played for long.

Crimson Desert

Final Fantasy VI

The new Forza Horizon 6

There are more games that don't even start. Not to mention others that require ray tracing, which also don't work on GTX 1000 or RX 5000 series cards.

If someone needs to buy something cheap, the best option is to go for Nvidia's Turing series. They still have driver support and support DirectX 12 Ultimate. While a GTX 1650 doesn't support ray tracing, you can run games like the new Doom or Final Fantasy VII Rebirth by applying a mod to disable ray tracing. This doesn't happen with cards from previous series.

At worst, rather than a Turing series card, I'd go for a GTX 1060 6GB, which will be able to run more recent games than an RX 580 8GB, and they cost about the same. At least in my country.

I say this because I have several cards at home. Two of them are an RX 570 4GB mini and an RX 460 4GB. With these cards, I'll be relegated to older games, Linux, or emulators. But I won't be able to stretch them to run newer games.

It's a shame because the AMD RX 6400/6500 XT, which perform poorly in PCIe 3.0, can at least run all kinds of games, unlike the RX 400/500 series, which can perform the same or better.

They've been doing it for a long time. You have to go back to the 8000 GT series or so to see that this isn't a regular occurrence. But back then, a GPU would become obsolete in two years because the changes between series were so significant.

AMD, on the other hand, while it does have models with low VRAM, generally offered a more balanced performance.

But here's Nvidia's trap. Later, you could find certain models with more VRAM, but they were more expensive. They had versions with double the VRAM, like the GTX 570/580/GTX 660/70/80, etc. But people didn't buy them because they were more expensive. So later, in the second-hand market, you only saw the models with less VRAM.

Let's analyze the mid-range models from before Nvidia:

GTX 660 2GB

GTX 760 2GB

GTX 960 2GB

Three generations and the same VRAM. And the GTX 660 was worse, a rip-off with its asymmetric memory. 1.5GB fast and 0.5GB slow, which could cause stuttering when accessing the slower segment.

AMD, on the other hand, did have models with more VRAM, like the famous R9 390/X with 8GB. Or standardizing 8GB in the famous RX 570/580 Polaris series.

Although they also copied this in the low-end, imitating Nvidia.

Versions with more VRAM age better in the long run. For example, a GTX 960 4GB isn't very good these days. But it allows you to play games like Resident Evil Requiem or the new Forza Horizon 6 using FSR and framegeneration. The 2GB versions perform much worse because 2GB is insufficient for those kinds of games.

Nvidia provides better driver support than AMD. We've seen models like the GTX 750 Ti that had drivers for over 11 years. But what good is this support if their graphics cards are ultimately only useful for esports because they were released with limited VRAM?

Nvidia reminds me of Apple or Samsung, where upgrading to a model with more capacity costs you an arm and a leg.

Upgrading to a model with more VRAM is either very expensive or forces you to move up a segment. The perfect example is the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB.

In the future, we'll see many of these used cards and few 16GB ones because the former sold better due to price and availability. But it'll be the same as with the GTX 960. Nobody wants the 2GB ones.

Buying new components might be worse now if you need a new PC. But I remember the Ethereum crisis, which was much worse than this.

Around that time, I was going through a rough patch and sold some of my modern gear because I was experiencing the typical gaming slump that many people suffer after 30.

I already had some AM4 components that I sold, and I initially kept a quad-core i5 and a GT 1030, which I later sold, ending up with an R7 240 1GB GDDR5.

Well, months later, things got really bad. I felt like playing games that had just been released or that I had been meaning to play. But the market was devastated.

In my country, a GTX 750 Ti 2GB, which before that sold for €35, suddenly cost €100. The same went for cards like the GTX 660, etc., which were already outdated. Anything with 2GB of VRAM cost at least €100. Forget about the 4GB versions. A used 1050 Ti 4GB cost at least €200, which is what they cost new, and it was already an old model. Versions with more than 4GB were out of the question because they cost a fortune and were almost all going to miners.

In stores, I remember seeing that many shops had no cards in stock, and the few they had were for building PCs from scratch. I remember seeing RTX 3070s for €1400 in a couple of stores, and some sellers were listing an RTX 3090 for €4000.

I managed to survive until 2022 with 1GB VRAM cards because they were the only ones that were reasonably priced without being ripped off.

I remember the spectacle of so many people having to stretch their old GTX 970s to play new games like Cyberpunk 2077. Others bought PCs from scratch without integrated graphics and couldn't even finish them because they didn't have a graphics card. And still others had their graphics cards break and had to buy a GT 1030 for €100.

Anything with integrated graphics was ridiculously expensive. AMD APUs with Vega graphics cost a fortune. The Athlon 3000G processors simply disappeared from the market, and people had to buy the "-f" versions from Intel because the regular versions cost €60 more for a UHD 630 that was practically useless.

I managed to survive until the end of 2022 with 1GB graphics cards. When the Ethereum bubble burst, nothing was ever the same again. I could only afford 2GB graphics cards at 2019 prices. But the 4GB ones were far too expensive, even though they didn't perform well.

RTX 3000 series cards in stores never dropped to their pre-bubble minimum price, and Nvidia announced the RTX 4000 series shortly after, which were even more expensive than their predecessors.

Those two years of hardware crisis were the worst I've ever experienced, as you couldn't even buy a new console due to lack of stock. Those two years of stagnation meant that old hardware took a long time to depreciate. It's only now, after six more years, that graphics cards that cost €400 back then are selling for €50.

While the RAM crisis affects more components than before, I haven't had any problems buying second-hand hardware, unlike what happened in 2020/22. I even bought an RX 6600 8GB for my gaming PC, something unthinkable back then.

Many people here stress-test them, replace the thermal paste, and that's about it. I'm referring to the physical condition.

I think it's important, but I could be wrong. If the card's PCB is new and the same color as when you bought it, it hasn't seen much actual use.

On the other hand, if it has stains in some areas, is discolored, or even has orange-tinted resistors, it has seen a lot of use. This information about the PCB is like the wrinkles on a person's face.

Example of a PCB in perfect condition:

The first is a GTX 1650 and the second a GTX 1070. The GTX 1070's PCB appears to be in worse condition.

Some might think this doesn't matter, but I think it does. A PCB in worse condition implies that the GPU has been operating at higher temperatures for a long time. It's possible that in the future, some part of the circuitry could fail and the card could stop working.

Is this true?

Que dejen poner más de 10 imágenes en cada artículo

Poner más caracteres para escribir en los anuncios. Si vendes lotes no puedes describir bien los artículos

Que desactiven la IA por defecto. Yo la tengo desactivada, pero la mayoría no porque viene de serie. Hay anuncios mal redactados o incorrectos debido a la IA que rellena los anuncios. Hay gente que ha abierto disputa por venir otro artículo diferente.

Más promociones para fomentar ventas. Vinted a veces da envíos gratis o casi gratis. Además en vendedores nuevos suele promocionarles el envío para fomentar la primera venta. Wallapop lleva tiempo que si da un código es sólo para cuatro gatos. Para los puntos hay que vender/comprar mucho para que te salga un envío gratis

Que los artículos vendidos salgan de la vista de la gente. Esto hace que se promocione vendedores que rompan tratos porque otro les ofrece más o pesados que preguntan si sigue disponible, aunque el artículo esté camino al comprador. A su vez que creen un apartado para buscar artículos vendidos. Así se puede ver el precio medio de venta (como tiene ebay).

Activar cosas de los vendedores profesionales a los particulares. Rebajas temporales, promocionar envíos gratis o lotes de un anuncio con stock. Cosa que sólo dejan si pagas la membresía pro

Son muy exigentes con los artículos considerados "prohibidos". Te tumban hasta vendiendo una mini consola china. En cambio hay falsificaciones o réplicas que reportando no hacen nada.

Los reportes. No puedes escribir explicando el problema y a veces no puedes ni reportar una estafa porque no aparece en las opciones para reportar dicha estafa.

Que no baneen a la gente que abusa de los tags para salir en las búsquedas y los artículos a 1€

Soporte lento e ineficiente muchas veces

Los estados de los artículos. Si no filtras por estado, no aparece el estado debajo del nombre del artículo como sí se ve en vinted o ebay en el muro general. Esto hace que se te cuelen muchos artículos roto y que no ves hasta pinchar en los anuncios. Esto hace que el algoritmo me recomiende siempre artículos rotos

Seguramente me deje más cosas. Les he mandado en ocasiones sugerencias. Lo único que aplicaron fue poner la opción de marcar artículos con envío. Cosa que antes no dejaba al entrar en una categoría.
