>>106431547We don't speak brown here.
if you think only brown governments do this you are retarded
Is that a facebook post? You guys unironically use facebook? LMAO
Do computer parts cost that much in the Philippines?
There are xeons that cost near that .Could be a Xeon workstation
>>106431622must havethats the only possible explanation
>>106431547$500 on the computer, $17000 in her back pocket. standard government procedure
>>106431596In the third world Facebook is still quite popular.
>>106431547My uncle worked at a company that quoted about $1.5k to buy a 3060 which was just going to be used for displaying multiple monitors, nothing else. He tried to tell them a used $30-50 could do the same and the company didn't care.
>>106432420My idiot boss bought a $30k storage appliance last year from HP because we needed more user storage. It has 4TB of usable space on 8 1TB SAS drives. The drives it uses are specifically HP branded and if you want to buy more, each one is $3500.We're a small company that makes almost no money and the storage is already full.
>>106431637Yes they put a $10,000 Xeon in a $50 motherboard with a $2 50W heatsink.
>>106432569>$2 Heatsink I believe they are free with purchase
>>106431637>Asus PRIME H610M-Rmost expensive LGA1700 Xeon is E-2488 going for under $700 US on newegg.
>>106431622>>106431850
>>106432515It just gets worse the more you read it. Amazing.
>>106431596the non-western world use facebook as the main internet
>>106432515This is the best and worst post I've seen all month fucking kekjust kept getting worse hp have to be the biggest crooks on the planet
>>106433452I get the overspending but I still don't get why they don't care if what they are actually buying is any good
>>106432515I find this hard to believeOEM markup is insane but it's literally impossible to spend that much on a single 1TB HDD from HP.At most you would spend a few hundred as a 1 TB HDD is kinda of a niche part, more for replacements rather than a new deployments but not $3500I could see if this made sense if using some kind of 3rd party procurement that takes advantage of businesses not knowing much of anything outside of the immediate business.
>>106431596Thirdies love Facebook for some reason, they even SHOP on there.
>>106432420>>10643251590% sure this was money laundry behind the curtains
>>106431547the 750W psu is sending me
>>106437175The logo reminds me of biology
>>106432515please tell us more, i promise i wont dox you or whatever your kind of people are scared of
God I love how incredibly open GOV and corpo people are about their ignorance towards money, considering it's NEVER their own that they have to use. Not only that, but how incredibly ignorant and arrogant they're towards technology, having ZERO clue or what they're doing.
Here's the PSU:https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/cvs-750w-atx-power-supply-w-jumbo-120mm-fan-wbox-black-i3343044039.htmlAnyone able to make out what the other parts are? The HDD is Seagate but I can't make out the model or capacity. The cooler is an RM1 I believe.I'd like to appraise the whole system for laughs.
>>106431547retardism or embezzlement? we'll never know, which is why it's most likely corruption>>106431592thisthere are so many people making bank by selling overpriced goods and services to the govthere's probably some fag selling $50 toothbrushes to the military and we'll never know it
>>106437408G.SKILL RAM. Not sure what model yet.
>>106437408
>>106437421>retardism or embezzlement? we'll never know, which is why it's most likely corruptionIt's the Phillipines. Take a wild stab in the dark.
>>106437425Nicely done. Looks to be the D4 model, because the non-D4 doesn't have that D or anything that looks like that after H610M-R.Here's the Lazada link (Phillipino version of Amazon from what I can tell.)https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/pdp-i5158100668.htmlWith the PSU and the mother board we're at 5,332 in PH pesos, which is roughly $93.
>>106437470Means the board is LGA1700 and takes DDR4 RAM so we can narrow down the other components a little bit with that.
Narrowed down list of possible CPUs.
>>106437513Also, there's no dGPU, so it can't be any of the F models.It is AT BEST an i7-14700.https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/pdp-i4460258414-s25335695420.html$496 with mb, psu and cpu at most.
>>106433452Quadrant 3 is gift buying, and I'm definitely still concerned with quality for gift buying.I would hope if I were entrusted with public funds I'd be concerned about costs too. My job right now is actually about reducing tax payer costs in my industry.Kind of a dumb chart when you could just make the point more effectively with your words.>>106433745In less extreme cases, they simply don't know better. I wouldn't say this board is really even all that good at knowing about technology, but even we here are in a "bubble" of knowledge that most people just aren't.In this case, which is extreme, it's because the computer itself is completely secondary. She has bought the computer for much more than it is worth, and has either overpaid to win a favor with whoever sold it to her, or to pocket a portion of the money herself.The computer is only a premise for embezzlement or a bribe.
>>106433745women dont computers
>>106437592>Kind of a dumb chart when you could just make the point more effectively with your words.The chart in the y axis is actually "for people you care about/for people you don't care about". It often surprises me how much society relies on the goodwill of quite a lot of people.
>>106431850$112 refurbed Z440$10 led light showand the rest in her nephews pocket who "knows about computer stuff."
>>106437763im that nephew but no one ever puts $20 in my pocket let alone $17000
>>106432515As believable as your average OF whores earning $100K per yearThe transaction is going elsewhere, buddy.
>>106437722It's better then.It's a shame that whoever made that chart only associates people they care about with themself, and people they don't care about with everyone else.
>>106431547Oh wait that's wrong.evidently it was actually $175,000
>>106438147It was 16 computers bought for a total of $175,000, all with OP's same config so each one was around $11,000.
>>106438147Definitely laundering.That's on boomers and retards for believing in providencial people wishing to take power for the people's n'est interest.Especially in third world where people are dumber and easier to fool.
>>106437421>$50 toothbrushes to the military and we'll never know itDidn't people start questioning the US military for buying 800$ worth of a bag of screws for planes?In the case of that mayor, she probably pocketed the change, but in the other case they just invent random prices to spend all money they've been budgeted, or else they'd get their allocation lowered next year.
>>106438298There's a reason why the b-2 cost $2billion each and a 747 cost like half a bil. That kind of stress from materials takes some insane engineering.
>>106437421>$50 toothbrushes to the militaryI worked in logistics and got to see some outrageous prices. My base paid $50 EACH for these plastic plugs for electric sockets "to prevent fires."
>>106438298>invent random prices to spend all money they've been budgeted, or else they'd get their allocation lowered next year.this is so fucking stupid and they do it in education too Medical industry too prices are just inflated BS
>>106436178zero rate data plans for facebook. this country doesnt have any net neutrality laws. for shopping, its sketchy shit like "PM for price"t. flip
>>106438147that 1300% markup is still stupid low as a value, means it normally costs $13k, which isn't the case. that's not even a $1.3k PC
>>106432515>We're a small company that makes almost no moneycousin the only money you're making right now is the money that your boss is allowing you to see
>>106431581This is literally an international website you dumbass
>>106439096I don't think that is the case. technically it's hosted in US, don't think they have servers in other countries like facebook does for example.thus you are visiting US soil as it were, when here. and must abide by US law I think.where if facebook has servers in your country and your content is hosted there you must abide to your country's laws. but I have no idea really pure speculation
>>106438985See >>106438176
>>106431547>No GPU>No Harr-DryBiggest debacle since Black Mesa
>>106438917Lmao same in my shithole. I hate when retards post something but never specify the price and you have to almost beg them on pm to know the price. Fucking retards
>>106438917huh, that explains why some countries build their entire internet infrastructure under like a single appie. an app which acts as an instant messenger, online shopping portal, camera app, news, etc.
>>106439468price gouge this and counterfeit goods that. i support lgbt for those retards so they wont bother us in the next generation
>>106431547All people are corrupted. This is why we can't have nice things.
>>106438985>>106438147you niggers are retarded
>>106439120>and must abide by US law I think.good, we shall speak official US language which is ummm....
>>106431547>no GPU in sight>two sticks of RAM>shitty case from the 90s>off-brand PSU>Intel cooler>a fucking HDD in 2025>probably worth $250 total>this causes an uproar in the third worldlollmao
