Android Apocalypse posted:One of the last things I did when I was in high school senior year was wander some woods up in northern Maine with my friends at night, where we stumbled upon some old family cemetery plot.  Grew up in rural Mass and also lived in Salem and the environs for a while. Can confirm it’s spooky as poo poo even as an adult in the right conditions. Walking your dog, some fog rolls in and oh boy. Somehow none of the ghost story stuff from 200 years later in Colorado hits as hard Euro posters lollin at our white history starting in the 1600s but it’s all relative

Black Sunshine posted:It's fun and also maddening trying to min/max computer parts to get the optimal build that fits within your budge. My last build I'm pretty sure I spent almost 3 months exhaustively researching all the individual parts and nerding the gently caress out weighing the pros/cons of push/pull, pull/push and negative/positive/neutral airflow. I even swapped out all the fans that came with my brand new case and AIO CPU water cooler with better fans because I'm psychotic like that. Replacing OEM fans with near silent fans is a massive quality of life improvement. I just wish I could do it on my work laptop.

I'm on my fourth Mac laptop since 2008, which I bought with a student discount at the end of college. First one lasted until late 2011, when I replaced it with a 13" MacBook Pro, which itself lasted until 2017. Replaced it with a MacBook Air (which still had built-in SD card reader and USB ports on each side, plus MagSafe), which I wanted to ride out longer but the battery started getting spicy and I decided to replace the whole thing. Currently have a 2022 MacBook Air with the MagSafe, which I'm hoping also lasts 5+ years. in a better world I'd have space to also build a gaming PC which I could setup with a racing wheel and iRacing setup, but alas, I live in too cramped a space for that. Hasn't kept me from thinking about the possibility though

I get built PCs from Doghouse systems because they will load all the operating system and games I ask them to on them for free so I don't have to spend the rest of my life reinstalling everything. Also they put all wires in zip ties or like these wire mesh sausage case things so the internals are super clean It's expensive as poo poo for a gamer rig but I've had mine for 8 years now and nothing has gone wrong.

I use a Mac for my day-to-day personal usage, have a Windows laptop for work, run a. Windows VM on said Mac when working from home so I don't have to use said work laptop, and have a gaming PC that barely gets used thanks to 3 kids. But yeah, definitely on the Apple Train.

Yeah, my work laptop is a Windows HP thing, but that doesn’t count. The one thing I will mention is I bought a hub-style monitor, which means my mouse or other things are plugged in there, and one USB-C passes power, video, everything to the laptop. Can use it with either, it’s very nice. Having only one cable is a nice life to live.

Since I'm 100% remote, work provides me with two HP Elitebooks and a 14" Macbook, and a couple of 27" 4k Dell monitors. Also 2 Herman Miller Aerons, it makes my gaming PC & Posting Station look a lot more businesslike when I'm watching Seinfeld on the second monitor during the day.

I just buy cheap desktops that can handle streaming and assorted files downloads. I just transfer everything important to a back up once a month incase it dies. I used to be into PC gaming but the annoying day 1 patches and graphics cards issues made me just give up and switch to consoles.

Clicking "update" and waiting 5 minutes is not going to be an experience that you will see less of in the future.

Man 3 Body Problem is pretty great and I’m sad that I ran through 8 episodes already.

We were in the zone of totality in 2017 and it was pretty crazy how many people flooded here. I don’t remember gas shortages though, yeesh.

Lol. We booked an Airbnb for a long weekend in northern Vermont for the eclipse too, mostly at my wife's insistence. Since she leaves vacation booking and details up to me, the place we got is coincidentally like 10 minutes away from one of the best breweries in New England.

That reminds me, I went to get my oil changed Monday, and the dealership had a full flight sim PC with yoke and everything for customers. Thought that was pretty cool, and had to help with bored kids.

The news did run a bunch of stories about how everyone is coming for the eclipse and if you don’t get gas now you won’t be able to get it this weekend, so I’m not sure how much was that affecting it too

BP said they had to close a couple of hundred petrol stations as they didn't have enough drivers to keep them stocked, Brits took this to mean "we're running out of gas, let's go fill up" and so emptied out almost every petrol station of fuel in about two days

All the Cybertruck stuff is pretty funny, but then someone pointed outbthat only 1000 were made and only 200 are on the road, meaning like 10% of them have had catastrophic failures posted on Twitter alone.

Everyone who has seen one in person says they are even dumber looking than the photos. Frankly, it's hard to imagine that.

The photos don't capture the fine details like specks of dust and little tiny scratches loving up the supposed shiny sheen, nor the angles contrasting so thoroughly with the natural curves of literally everything around it. Saw it in a casino..parked in the parking garage for normies instead of the VIP section with the Lambos and Corvettes. Couldn't stop laughing at the thought of that dude being too embarrassed to roll up in "style" in front of everyone. No, it was not parked at a charging station either. 3 DONG HORSE fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Apr 4, 2024 |
