I’m glad I went with AMD for my custom PC and my laptop.

There are people who think insulin dependency is a choice.

Well, to be fair, I actually bought it to use as a desktop and upgraded it accordingly. Then a few months later I decided to build a Ryzen system. Optiplex got moved to server duty.

I bought an Optiplex 7050 SFF for $100 USD at the start of 2023. Upgraded it to an i7-7700, 32GB RAM, 300W PSU from an XE3 model (stock is 180W), and threw in a spare Nvidia K1200 Quadro for shits and giggles. Runs almost my entire suite of self-hosted applications without a hitch.

I subscribed to a usenet service. Still figuring out how to use it 🤔

Fucking cowards erasing it

What websites are you people visiting that don’t work with Firefox?

I’ve been using Firefox since it was initially released and haven’t had an issue with any websites

Piano (intake manifold)

Checks out

That’s… Not a bad idea…

No, Ohio is on fire

XBONE or the 360

pretty old

I prefer width over volume, personally. Right just looks…wrong. but that’s my personal preference and I’m not gonna knock anyone for liking it.

I have a b&w laster printer, an old Kyocera relic from the mid-2000s. Got it from a previous job that was remodeling their offices. I refuse to let go of it, I don’t care how many brown-outs it causes when I’m printing something (seriously, it dims the lights when it fires up).

I’ll only replace it with an equally beefy color laser printer.

Hundreds of miles? I think you misread. They’re several miles away.

Also it’s a lot easier said than done to just up and move somewhere more convenient. I don’t have that luxury, and telling me to do so will get you a big fat “go fuck yourself” from me for being so insufferable about it.

Now move along and go bug someone else with your luxury conveniences.

Our society is 100% car centered. My kids’ schools are miles away from my house, my job is miles away, and you cannot convince me to ride a bike or walk when it’s over 100°F outside. Fuck that shit. I’m happy to take public transit, but any public transit available to me isn’t feasible because it would take literally 1.5-2 hours to get to work and back each way, which cuts down severely on my family time. And I can’t work from home either due to the nature of my job, which is maintaining the machines that build microchips.

I’m a parent and I love it

Edit: looking at it again, it’s clearly been glazed and fired in a kiln after the imprint was done.

13 years ago, rent for my 3 bed 2 bath apartment at the time was ~$700/mo. Today that same apartment is over $1500/mo.

I’m neither, but I do have a very small homelab. I get to imagine the spaghetti mess of cables in my virtualized system.

Nah, probably somewhere Scandinavian.

Wow thanks, this fixed the issue perfectly, and it was so easy for a beginner like me!

Fucking drives me nuts.
