How many hundreds/thousands of $ has Sup Forums conned you into wasting?

how many hundreds/thousands of $ has Sup Forums conned you into wasting?

I managed to convice my boss to buy us all maxed out P70's with the whole "superior chinkpad design" skit
About 50 of them total, so a couple hundred grand on thinkpads.

0, I would never take anything posted here at face value, because I'm not retarded.

0$
I literally have not bought a single Sup Forums-related thing since I started browsing 7 years ago
calle calle

a few hundred buying old thinkpads before I realized they're all clunky garbage

Anything above $0 and you deserve it.

grados headphones - were a present from ex-gf cost her 60

thinkpad t400 - 40 including shipping

in ear headphones - 20

almost baited me into buying a thinkpad although I had no use for it. Glad I didnt fell for that meme

you're supposed to write "cali cali" to fuck with the google ai

I literally wasted 50 dollars buying programming socks. I rarely use them.

0$
i don't have a job and even if i did i'd probably use the money on other shit, consumer tech is garbage

>literally
checks out

I don't bother deliberately fucking with it, but like 70% of the time I get some letters wrong because you only have to be in the ballpark

None. I don't take purchasing advice from Sup Forums.

Sup Forums should be saving/making you money. Not costing you money.

Sup Forums does teach you to buy the best price/performance in the long run but the initial phase is a lot of extra consumerism by introducing you to phones, keyboards, mice, cases, GPUs etc.

Sup Forums helped me save a shitton of money by becoming a stallmanist script kiddie that takes pride in ripping shit from kikes that put things behind paywalls

if it can be digitized then I am entitled to copy it for free, very comfy mindset

>stallmanist
I think you missed the point of Sup Forums. they're libretards not freetards

>Sup Forums does teach you to buy the best price/performance in the long run
lol retard

>X220
>Casio f71w
>ChinkMe Note 3
no ragrets whatsoever

> ripping shit from kikes that put things behind paywalls

Please teach me

Sup Forums cares both about free as in freedom and free as in free beer.

Conned? Not sure that is the correct term, but I went to Ikea and picked up two Lack tables a few years ago. Still use them, so I guess $74.

love my TKL mech kb
love my X220
love my moto Sup Forums 2015 until the screen started falling off. It still works though and runs LineageOS very well, I use as a bedside dedicated podcast and music streaming device
I also buy stuff that isn't a Sup Forums meme just depends what it is and what my needs are. you should definitely do your own research in any case, never listen to one place especially a memelord echo chamber like Sup Forums

my exgf bought me my audio technica headphones. huzzah for girlfriends who buy you shit you actually use.

To be fair the only libre part Sup Forums cares about is freedom 1 so that other neckbeards are able to inspect the code of the programs they're running. They don't really care about freedom 2 or 3.

maybe like $200 on a memechanical keybaord

I put about 3k into my computers
Probably wasted about a grand but oh well

0eurodollar.
Propaganda does not work on me.

i spent 40$ on headphones
money well spent though so not really conned just influenced

Sup Forums kind of convinced me to spend less though. I probably would have dumped my wallet to buy a shiny new video card, but I realized how little I need it.

>rarely use them
Thats why you aren't a top programmer user.
Also show legs.

I'm and adult so I dont buy into retarded memes like all the gullible kiddies.

Not matter if you're a man or a woman nice legs are worth admiring just like asses.

many thousands

And I'm going to add 16 GB ram for my gaming rig too. I bought a F-91W because of Hacker News though.

Fuck I forgot the Seiko SKX009

I have a T430 and I can't stand the horrible screen. I thought the 900p would be better but old laptop has better color and brightness at 720p. Battery, keyboard, and build are great but I can't justify the eye strain.

None. I don't have down syndrome.

That image is the pinacle of comedy

don't buy anything unless you absolutely need it

Here is a fun exercise:

1) How many hours per day you are on Sup Forums?
2) How long you are on Sup Forums?
3) Calculate how many hours you approximately have spent on Sup Forums.
4) Calculate how much money you could have made, when a regular job would give you 15 dollar per hour.

fucking with google's ai how exactly?

I actually made 20k$ thanks to a tip in /dpt/.

only one ʰᵘnᵈʳᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵒᵘˢᵃnᵈ

Just costed me about $1k. All of the shilling for the new iPhone made me preorder it

Spent $150 on a Thinkpad X230 and I'm more than happy with my investment, thanks Sup Forums!

>three mech keyboards
>400€ total
>g502
>50€ or so
>16 GiBs or ram
>67€
hey, I bought them just before they went shit in price
>korean monitor
>450€
>ThinkPad
>354€, but solt it for 500€ and then got another with yet better specs for 400€

With a lot of chink stuff, let's say 1800€, but I stared actually buying stuff like two or three years ago, I had to save money some time back so I couldn't actually buy nothing that wasn't chink shit.

Ugh, forgot some stuff.

About 5k if I can attribute most purchases here. I found out about building a PC here In 2007 and have since gone through four personal systems. I got memed into the ath m50 in 2009, then the dt990, and now I'm about to buy a m1060, hd600, and msr7.
I'm grateful, my whole life is computers. I probably wouldn't have even pursued computer science without this place. And I love software development it really plays on my strengths and minimizes my shortcomings. C++ class is my favorite part of the week.
I'm 25 if that puts the time line in better perspective.

>$150
>investment
user, I...

I understand what you're trying to imply, but even a 1 penny purchase, if it's not a loss and brings the smallest of the profits, is still considered a good investment. Economy 101.

Realforce
F91W
Raid-0 SSD's
Loonix

huh
so shilling actually does work
interdasting

what if 90% of the time I spend browsing Sup Forums I'm at work.

Are you me?

If anything, Sup Forums has probably helped me make better purchases of shit I was going to buy anyways

Bought x230t for $250 and KZ-ATE for $6, so I would say it saved me as much as I've spent

Oh, and I bought chink mech keyboard for ~$30. Feels worse than xx30 keyboard so you can say that was a waste

>tfw currently taking a shit and shitposting at work

>wasting
Absolutely none. Any piece of technology can be useful for something it you're not fucking retarded.

...

I spent like $20 on some earbuds that fell apart after a few months of use at my desk. Never again.

0€
But when a friend asked for advice on what budget cpu to get I told him to get a fx6300 over the i3

>fx6300
Please tell me that was 5 years ago

about 400$ on chinkshit

$0, because I actually do research before purchasing items.

I seriously doubt anyone on Sup Forums recommended you to buy earbuds.

Unless you were trolled in which case it makes perfect sense.

Sup Forums's had a Sup Forums leak for years, I could definitely see someone legitimately recommending earbuds.

>T430
Not a single wasted dollar

Moto G (1st gen) was probably the best deal Sup Forums ever made me aware of
still using it daily, running the latest LineageOS
I'm not a filthy phoneposter so 1 GiB of RAM is sufficient

Desu fampai, cargo pants are pretty fucking useful, but as I settled into a comfy 9-5 life without any extraneous activities, I've had to carry around less shit, so regular jeans are good enough for me.

anyone who says something higher than $0 is an idiot that literally needs to go back

Like $500


so far

Whatever Sansa Clip costs. Absolute meme.

redmi note 3 pro, 16gb of ram, gtx 1070
almost 1000$

I bought a MDR-V6 in 2012, after my 4th Koss sb-45 broke. And I fucking love it, bought another as a backup, first one still is flawless except the plastic bullshit on the pads have fallen off which is an upgrade to be honest.

I also bought a IBM Model M 1986 to test out the mechanical meme, but that shit is too fucking big and noisy for me. Traded it for a gpu with a friend.

Microsoft Keyboard 500 for lyfe. Had since 2005 and cost me $10 back then, won't waste another penny on keyboards.

300.

around $1000

I spent $200 on an X230 with nice specs to bring when I leave home for a year. It's not a huge loss if damaged or stolen, though neither of those things are a concern because I can repair it cheaply myself and thieves are looking for Macbooks, not archaic business laptops.

I did fall for the Raspberry Pi 2. I've done nothing with it.

$0 I had a desktop already and Gentoo is free

$700 dollar monitor speakers. They sound like shit for most music and they're ugly.

They're collecting dust in a closet and I'm using $100 dollar Logitech speakers I got off Amazon instead - which sound MUCH better for music that is non-autismal.

I have bought a Thinkpad and a Moto G following advice here on Sup Forums. I am pleased with both of them.

I made several thousand dollars on Etherium from when it was shilled in February. Otherwise I don't take Sup Forums advise too often, and I can't remember buying anything on a Sup Forums recommendation that I didn't enjoy.
