to show how rich I am.
A neighbour recently skipped out on his overdue rent and had all his shit dumped on the street. For a second there when I saw a optiplex style clone I thought i was gonna strike it reach stripping the DDR4 out of it
It was DDR4 but, sigh, 256MB sticks.
Wtf. I looked at the case and it had a XP sticker on it. No wonder he abandoned it.
This PCB was designed to be an arrowhead by the looks of it.
Which if you fire it into the exposed port on the drone that is hunting you, you’ll be a able to hack it to your side.
What shits me with Linux commands is they don’t make sense.
Copy, diskpart, dir and so on make sense.
But Linux. Bah.
Cp, lsblk (sudo fdisk -l) and ls.
I know it’s an a old dog thing but having used dos and windows command line for over 50 years it just makes me so frustrated to see Linux commands and their switches, syntax and parameters so obtusely obscure, purposeful, unnecessarily filled with complex jargon.
I write sql and python so I’m not unused to this sort of world but everytime I use Linux I find the command line, the supposedly masterful feature of the OS, just painfully, unnecessarily, poorly designed.
copying and pasting strange commands from strangers on old forum posts)
Yes exactly the only way to obtain the help is via weird forums where you waste hours reading posts from people trying to do basic shit. Half the time it’s for the wrong distro, version or whatever bullshit problem you’ve got.
Like godforbid you want to mount a drive that won’t mount in the GUI version of whatever kernal distro ver you end up getting.
You end up writing ridiculously long commands to do shit I can do in a handful of words that make sense in plain English.
Just shits me that MS is hellbent on enshitificating windows, forcing us to find alt.
What choice do we have anymore
I’m using a 7700k from like 2017. I got me a 3070 and 32GB of ram and I can still play 4k @60fps on games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Dead Island 2 Starwars Outlaws (great game) and Cyberpunk (yes fine with DLSS).
And older stuff like F04, Battletech, HL2, Black Mesa, Fallen order.
Would I like something more powerful. Sure. Cyberpunk natively rendered would be cool. But it won’t really change my day to day. For that I’d need to spend way more on a fancy monitor which seems kinda moot when I’m already at 4k @ 60hz.
You guys are snobs. No, seriously, youre totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit on the people who know less than you.
