Tell that to my pixel

I got a new laptop last month for $2200US, it has 24 cores. i9-14900HX

I have a T430 that still sees use as an occasional web browsing & Arduino coding machine. I bought it used in 2016 without HDD for $150, and I don’t think I’ve gotten better value for money with any of my other computer purchases to-date.

Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that’s the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel…how’s that 286 doing for you?

He Heard it was the new thing to do.

I guess you couldn’t have been an archer in ancient Rome.

Are you including the R&D costs? Best estimates I’ve seen for a mechzilla put labour and materials between 65-95 million USD

I thought it blew up because after tipping over the tanks ruptured - a normal result of a rocket tip-over. Am I mistaken?

I think you’ve got too many zeros on your price estimate, no? The tower is huge, but there’s no way it costs five hundred million dollars.

Right?! This right here.

I was once yelled at by a friend of a girl for “ignoring her advances.” I kid you not, the “advances” consisted of her walking up to me at a party, saying “hey, aren’t you in my math class?” (To which I answered in the affirmative) and “well, um, I guess I’ll see you there Monday!”

How the fuck was I supposed to know that was an attempt at flirting?

The older gay guy at work? “You’re gorgeous. Ever consider dating a man?”

I do exactly this, and use Keepass2Android on my phone and have nextcloud-KeeWeb installed.

Tangentally related - For anyone looking to take over a project, KeeWeb is looking for a new maintainer!

Jokes on you, the buttons will be on the wrong side! Ahahahahaha

Edit: yes I know t-shirts don’t have buttons. Bad attempt at humour. Not deleting because I stand behind my mistakes.

How obvious is it that it’s a bot?

I un-licenced the Emily games from my steam library. The writing felt… arrogant? Like, it didn’t matter what you chose you were wrong.

I know what consent is, I don’t need a videogame to do things without mine and then rub it in my face.

Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.

My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to ‘upgrade’ to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.

I’m looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don’t seem worth it.

I’m going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I’m not sure they’ll compete with surplus server kit.

I used to think so too, but I’ve got an Intel box where I have to turn hardware offload off in order to not have networking ‘crashes’ (complete with kernel dump data) that take out my networking for 5-15sec. Chip is i218-LM r05.

I’ve never had an issue with my i210 and x550 chips, but this 218 is super frustrating.

My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.

She did? Which wife?

Why?
