A Reddit user says a Best Buy order for an ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 5080 ended with a box of rocks instead of a $1,200 graphics card. The buyer placed the order on 25 November and received it on 28 November. According to his post, the card shipped with shipping labels stuck directly to the retail GPU box, no outer brown carton, and a seal that already looked tampered with.
I wish we’d stop writing “news” articles about reddit posts. There’s no proof anywhere that this is truthful, and no, pictures don’t lend credence. I have a gpu box right now I can put rocks in for sensationalism.
also the rocks weigh way more than a gpu, so the ups or post office would have a record of that
What would you accept as proof then? Because to me it sounds like this logic implies nothing can be proven at all, ever.
Ah yeah, the old “a picture isn’t enough proof so they think everything is false” argument.
You’d make a great lawyer.
My point was taking a picture of a box of rocks doesn’t prove the rocks were there before you opened the box. And if you disagree, explain your reasoning.
Those rocks don’t look igneous to me, so they have most likely been there for millions, if not billions of years before they opened the box
A billion year old rock inside a months-old box? #ooparts
