I can add Spain price trends to PCPartPicker. Quick question though - do you want the price trends to cover just Spanish retailers, or should it trend the prices across all of the EU?


That would be incredible! Personally I only buy the stuff I can find inside the country, inside the country. But then some stuff I have to order from Germany/France/Italy when it's only available outside our borders.

So I don't know the right approach here, I can see value for both price trends for multiple reasons, unfortunately :) Wish I could give a simpler answer!


Ok that should be in - if you view the price trend pages now there are different currency grouping options (with EUR being one of them). Hope this helps!


Not parent, but logically the EU is a single market, so EU-wide prices are better, IMO.


They are US-specific, yes. Thanks for asking that - I'll look into updating those graphs to show for the appropriate region/country depending on what country you've selected (on the top right of the page).


Lots of VPNs route through hosting providers. Some hosting providers are more prevalent with spammers than others. But in the end you can only really use it as a scoring measure. It's not nearly binary enough to straight filter using it.


Agreed but I'd rather lose the small percentage of users on VPNs than have my site flooded with junk traffic and spam


The names changed out from under us. It’s hard because some people expect to see 3.0, while others expect to see 3.1gen1. Whichever one we pick we end up confusing the other side. In the end we went with the current industry naming because that’s what people will see on manufacturer spec pages and most retailers. Had our specs differed in naming between those (even if we were specifying the same thing), we’d end up getting a lot of confused people thinking our specs were wrong. We ended up doing the same rename for WiFi numbering - both those name changes went in about the same time, though I stubbornly held out as long as I felt we could...


There somewhat is - many retailers offer data feeds. The formats and quality vary widely though. Google shopping has a feed format that many retailers implement.


Absolutely loved that book and the sequel. He has another book out now titled _Energy: A Human History_.


Mine was replaced under warranty last week (after waiting several months) - 2017 Model S, AP 2.0.


> Instead, they maintained altitude and speed, using their advantage in a dive to execute "slashing" attacks.

Fun trivia that I read a while back: After getting hold of a zero, they discovered that the carburetor design would cause the engine to sputter on high speed dives. https://www.history.com/news/the-akutan-zero-how-a-captured-...

Also, their controls could become sluggish at the right conditions near their top speeds.


Back around 2001 I took my desktop build (Celerin 300A oveeclocked to 450MHz), installed a giant passive heat sink on the CPU and PSU, put in an 8MB IDE flash drive, and network booted off a server in my laundry room. I thought I was finally noiseless. But the end result was worse. I had coil whine out of my power supply any time CPU usage ramped up. If I was in the same room, I could tell whenever my email pinged the server or if a cron job ran. It was both instructional (why is my cpu ramping and I’m not even logged in?) and really annoying.


I had one of those, I think it may have overclocked to 550MHz, I can't remember for sure. The cooling fan was audible outside of my house!


Aye. We've got some things in the works to improve that.
