3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.

They’re still immeasurably better than Spotify, both for artists and in terms of bitrate…

I dunno, I have so many USB c chargers and cables around that I bin them every time a device comes with another cable.

Yes I completely understand that. But it also undermines the “give your older laptop a new life with Linux” narrative that’s out there at times. It’s actually not that easy. I’m happy running Linux but I wouldn’t put it on my moms old laptop…

This is my life right now.

I put Linux on my HP laptop…

Speakers give weird sound Media keys don’t work Worst of all: ever since I updated the laptop somehow crashes my router? Like, I don’t even know how this is possible, but it’s happening.

I’m not an idiot but all the solutions to getting these seemingly basic things to work as intended are extremely contrived.

Please don’t give them an idea

I got adguard lifetime YEARS ago when it was super cheap. I’m glad there’s free alternatives now.

Public space used for the storage of personal items, paid for by tax or rate payers…

My off lease laptop is literally my three year old work laptop. It is a very sturdy HP laptop with 16 GB of ramm, a 512mb SSD and a pretty decent i7 processor. The body is very sturdy and the screen is excellent. I paid about 180 dollars for it.

Companies usually don’t buy their laptops, screens and other hardware, but lease them from companies that then service the hardware.

When a company upgrades lots of the hardware is then sold by the leasing agency to the public for very favourable prices.

Ex lease laptops and monitors are also often very good deals!

The monitors often come with very well adjustable stands that are much more ergonomic. The laptops are often very high build quality and perfect for regular home office use.

I bought an Epson ink tank printer because I was so done with cartridges. I’m quite happy with it so far. Always works, never saw any prompts for me to make accounts or install bullcrap software.

Exactly. If they don’t understand, like or want it for themselves, nobody is allowes to have it and they will defund, ban and punish.

See sexuality, reproductive health, the arts, basic education, etc.

Here in NZ they say you’re made redundant

Lol I’m not in a country that operates like that.

Just gave the vet a ring but it seems to be paid for already
