$3k seems to be the minimum for anything that can actually run and drive nowadays

Yeah, I’m fine with touchscreen for infotainment and navigation shit - as long as they give me a physical volume knob. HVAC and lighting and such should all be physical switches/buttons/knobs.

Fun that it is now news that Russia has 50,000 troops in Russia.

I’m using the Google news webpage, without fail it shows me horoscopes and sports every day no matter how many times I tell it that I’m not interested.

I wish they’d let me block entire topics, though. I don’t ever want a horoscope but it puts that shit in front of me every single day.

I recently switched my laptop to Fedora 40’s KDE spin, and like it a lot. I look forward to upgrading.

“No, not like that!”

Was about to comment the same thing.

I replayed it last year on an Xbox 360 emulator, which gave me 1440p and 60 fps. It worked quite well!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they ‘accidentally’ drop a few shells on the Irish UNIFIL positions. Israel is pissed at Ireland for recognizing Palestine.

Marketplace was fantastic for buying and selling all sorts of stuff for years, but it is now plagued with fake listings and scams and all kinds of undesirable shit now. The scammers seem to have no problem whatsoever cranking out new accounts on the regular, and Facebook doesn’t seem to give a shit. Any time I report any of the scam listings I get a response from FB about 3 weeks later saying they did nothing wrong, so they took no action. Fuck Facebook.

I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite a lot back on the Xbox 360. The whole city in the clouds but also it’s the early 20th century setting was really attractive to me, and I enjoyed it pretty much throughout. Elizabeth being an actually useful NPC sidekick that you don’t have to do endless shitty escort missions for was a great move. I don’t understand the hate it gets after a few years have passed.

“Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions…”

These things keep getting cheaper too. I just received an RG35XX H from Aliexpress with both 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards for a whopping $47 shipped.

I think the ones in that lot were sitting there waiting for recall work to be done before they could be delivered to suckers customers.

They charge fast when the battery is fresh and healthy. When the battery health gets shitty the software automatically switches it to slowly trickle charge to preserve it, although you can go into the settings and re-enable the previous fast charging.

My SE is currently at 75% of its original battery capacity. I put it on at 8AM this morning after charging it all night, tracked one workout during the day and it is now almost 10PM and it is at 16% charge and dropping fast.

Yes, I have both. The desktop is pretty beefy and runs Windows (for now) and is mostly used for games and Adobe stuff. The laptop is a Thinkpad running Linux Mint, and is my couch computer. I use it for normal web browsing type stuff, and for managing my home lab server that sits in a closet in my basement. I also play some lightweight games on it via Steam/proton.

Schadenfreude intensifies

I’m guessing it has 3GB of ram and 256MB is being eaten due to being shared video memory.
