It's not over. It distinguishes you from useless NPCs. Dont worry, the people who matter will recognize you.

probably because your college has a apple discount program. both microsoft and apple are competing heavily in getting schools to adopt them.

I'm a 39 year old boomer but I'm taking some college classes for better career opportunities, and most of my classmates are zoomers, largely straight out of high school. I've only seen one single Mac. The vast majority of people, myself included, have gaming laptops because our program involves a lot of CAD work so you need a decent GPU, and Lenovo seems to be the dominant choice.

>but what if you get stranded on an island with no calculator
Nobody's gonna quiz me on an island, and even if I did need math for some reason I have all the time in the world to solve it.

I thought I sucked at math and hated it. Turns out I just hated being told to memorize tables with no real world application to me.
Once it shifted from memorization to actual logic, and calculators were finally allowed, my grades went from low to top of the class. And once I eventually needed math to solve things I actually cared about (shop class, resource management in vidya), I finally started to memorize those pesky tables too. Imagine that.

>>107874103
Granted I was last in elementary school 17 years ago but we didn't use calculatora in elementary school then either
We didn't until 8th grade and that's since I was technically doing a 9th grade math class

>trying to turn every single math problem into "how can we explain this to you know who?"
I legit don't know. Niggers can't read to begin with, and using the term "equation" would trigger their chimpout switch cause it's too complicated a word. That shit is not helping anyone.

No air cooling will always be more common. I can see single towers going away because the average cpu is hotter than what it was 10 years ago you have 150w cpus for cheap right now and unless it is big single tower it it struggles. A big single tower is less space and cooling efficient than double tower especially when you consider the offset double towers. Single tower are mostly kill at this point.
Can you beat phantom spirit/Phantom Spirit for 35usd/eur - no. The next step that is significant upgrade is twice the price but not twice the performance. Does arctic 360 mog even the most expensive double towers when you put something like 7950x/9950x - yes they actually boost higher clocks on more cores when there is sustained load. Does arctic 360 fit in almost any 100$ case - yes. You also do not need to do the one fan in one fan out like you do with the double tower when you put fans on top and mess with the airflow from the pass thru GPU that is common today. Modern AIOs are better than the air cooling when it comes to performance but unless you go for the top processor you can get away with a double tower for 35$, the performance is unbeatable, they will never go away.

>>107869298
Water cooling is like adding a second step to your cooling. What is cooling the water? Fans.

Just use fans without the water.

>>107869298

How does anyone even use a T480 with how small the screen is?

Relative of mine has a yoga 370 with 16gb or ram and a 500gb ssd and an i7 7600u, whats a fair price to give to them? i was thinking 100$ or am i ripping em off, its a computer they got for free from work that they never used so its just been sitting for 2-3 years now, the battery health is at 75% so ill probably replace that, also any recs on Linux distros that work well with 2-in-1 laptops? this is a usecase for GNOME i assume

>>107884136
That's a fair price I think.

KDE can do touch/pen input and screen rotation now I think. Kubuntu and call it a day. Debian is usually fine too with testing or Sid repos. If you hate yourself and wear programming socks go ahead and install Arch.

>>107881902
I appreciate the input. I actually tried that first! I would rather a clean install. But in this unique case, I can't do a clean install. Without wasting your time with an explanation; basically that is impossible in this case. I must make a downgrade happen, hence being at the end of my rope, seeking advice from you folks.

I only recently learned of this feature and it's amazing. One of the main reasons I'd consider moving to Linux. How come Microslop is not spreading awareness of it?

Is there any cleaner way to create a bootable USB than Rufus in 2026?

They can only jam in sporading conditions and only in specific areas. Keep the car moving and point it towards the other way and you get good signals again. But really that starlink blocking was only temporary, SpaceX restored the starlink back to ~80-90% success rate. The regime hit it hard during the first few hours and flooded the starlink channel bandwidth , then spacex opted for different tactics

The 90 series is meant to be performance over efficiency what do you expect?

do you guys think trackers have a good incentive to leech? i feel like this is especially true for movie trackers because there are so many of them but a lot of torrents have more cross-seeder than genuine leecher seeding what they wanted to download. obviously cross-seeding is good for everyone but i feel like on a lot of trackers getting genuine upload is kind of hard. don‘t ask me what kind of system they should implement though i‘m just here to ask the question. but shouldn‘t trackers try compensating the low user count more by incentivizing leeching?

>>107882289
Spotify has this feature where you can seamlessly switch between devices listening to music and even control the playback from another device while listening to it.

>>107883963
>but shouldn‘t trackers try compensating the low user count more by incentivizing leeching?
What would be the benefit of doing that?
To put it in another way: Why is a low amount of leeching bad for the tracker?

>>107884093
well, low leech = low upload for seeders and thus less buffer to download more

NOVIDYA Bumpgate...
At least they did release revised chips unlike AMD's dogshit, but only cause they got fucking sued.
>>107880522
>This was a big issue because nforce 3 boards were VERY popular and allowed you to use very powerful hardware for the time.
Yeah maybe with 939 but that was really supposed to be on NF4 and 754 was limited to some mediocre singlecores with single channel RAM.
Asrock made an NF3 board with a fucking AM3 socket.
Novidya just refused to ship an AGP GART driver for it, or even GPU drivers for Vista for some time. Fuck em.
>>107879407
They were shipping dual core PCs with 1GB back then. 1GB is a bare fucking minimum for NT 6 anything. RAM was rather expensive still at that point in time. By 2009, the same money would get you 4GB.
>>107879445
It was half to do with XP era software being retardedly written and half to do with the feature itself being turned the fuck up too far.

>>107873382
I came here to say this

>>107883059
that pc was about $600 iirc, 2009 was a good time. laptops were super expensive and getting a then-4 year old thinkpad for $150 was a good deal.

>Looked up what suits and those head things cost just out of curiosity and it's like $5k for a basic furry head. Full suits are like $30k.

How much does it cost to produce a full suit and how much time does it take?

>>107883620
I put in anywhere between $1500 to $3500 in materials depending on the quality, complexity and how tech-heavy it is.
A basic suit is just like a halloween costume essentially, but a full build can have everything from built in fans, water supply (a bladder system), motorised eyes/mouth/ears, speakers, sound effects etc.
Time wise it's anything from a couple weeks for the most basic to 3-4 months for the serious ones. And price matches that. The most expensive one I made and sold went for $11 800 plus shipping.
But pricing depends on the creator. Everyone has their own sources for materials and so on.

And I often have 2-3 suits in the making at the same time since a lot of the basic crafting is the same.

>>107883821
>>107880170
$11800-3500 (materials) = $8300 profit
$8300/(5 days per week x 4 weeks per month x 3 months to make = 60 days) = $138.34 per day, roughly
$138.34/8hrs per day = $17.30 per hour, roughly.
>I make more money on a single fursuit than I made working my old office job 8-10 hours per day for a month.
$8300 profit from above/20 work days a month = $415 per day
$415/8 hours = $51.88 per hour.
I would have stayed with the office.

>>107884036
>$17:30 per hour
That's a dream in my country.

>>107884036
Impressive autism.
Doesn't change the fact that I earn a lot more from making suits than I did working my old office job. Several times more.
>>107884130
This. I made $5:72/hour at my last job. Which is pretty average in my region.
