Title: major incident!!!1!1!! (No location or context)

Linux became so much less work to keep running than windows, even for gaming (if you’ve got an AMD gpu at least). I don’t play competitive gaming in any capacity so I’m not missing pretty much anything.

AI generated commenting? Idk I’ve never coded anything beyond modifying powershell scripts

It runs an HDMI cable to a TV instead of relying on a crappy abandonware TV OS.

I mean… that worked fine for teenage me with a DSI.

I saw something somewhere that they’re still selling them on ebay under the name “Logicool”, not sure how legit it is though.

Ive got 3 g600’s in rotation myself, i have yet to actually kill one and my main one has lasted me 5+ years

Logitech made the best (the g600) but it was discontinued and they show no signs of reviving it 😭

Oof, yeah, sharepoint is horrible

Active Directory is a hell of a drug, as is Group Policy

There’s a non-zero chance the license is stored on the motherboard of the laptop (ie, embedded in BIOS).

I’ve got a Latitude XT2. some of the plastic bits aged badly and developed a sort of weird film, including the charger brick; if you’ve had the same problem, I scrubbed the hell out of those specific parts with goo-gone and a microfiber cloth and its smooth and shiny again.

Okay, that’s pretty sweet. Imma have to look into that, i know a guy who just retired a home server with like 10+ old HDDs

Doing that would scare the other rich people away, and he doesn’t want that.

They aren’t?

Fair enough, ill still leave it solely for the “definition of insanity” meme origin

Far Cry 2 and far cry 3.

3 for a legendary compelling villain (Vaas)

2 for genuinely immersive in-game UI design and challenging enemy AI.

Ive got an HP Zbook g6 coming my way soon I’m excited about, and its way overkill for what I’m gonna use it for; i just need a bigger laptop because i have giant meat hooks for hands and I actually use the numpad

Tl;dr, you can get a lot of laptop at decent prices looking at “older” hardware

Dell has some weird default settings (like RAID by default on single drive systems) that can be a bit janky in general

My condolences. Ive done that with a big ass bowl of fried rice i made at the end of a very long day, I was furious :(

(Tho my stuff is usually too spicy for most animals to touch xD)

Or worse, people who stop just past it, but not far enough to get the car behind it to actually touch the sensor
