I think that price is too much.

Yesterday I wanted to test out a code. Found an RTX 5090 for about $0.43 an hour. Reasonable.

After about 10 minutes, the 23 GB code was downloaded but it wouldn't run. So back to the drawing board. I destroyed my instance and immediately I was charged $0.53 (roughly).

Immediately I chatted with the help desk. They looked into it and gave me a screenshot of my billing. The instance was $0.43 an hour and I didn't spend over an hour using it. BUT I got charged for downloading the 23 GB at $0.03 per GB. That's $30 per TB (roughly)! Later I found the same instance at the download/upload rate is $27 per TB.

  1. Main issue is visibility in UI. Rent price is visible. But download and upload rate is not! It's like reading a EULA when you just want to use the software.

  2. I've checked with other instances about the download/upload pricing. Even data center instances of an RTX PRO 6000 that cost $1.20 charge less than $2 per TB.

I feel like I was scammed.

Resistor identification needed for subwoofer power supply

Hey all.

I'm trying to fix an Infinity PS 212 Powered subwoofer. Looking around, I noticed this resistor is disconnected on one end with some burnt plastic. On the other end, it is connected to the P111 connector which connects to a daughter board.

If I'm reading it right from two calculator websites, it says 9.1 Ohms with 1% tolerance. But the service manual, which lists all the components, doesn't have that on the resistor list.

Identifying this will be step one of many toward fixing this subwoofer. Thanks in advance!
