Not exactly where my mind went when I saw Baltimore.

You can get them that cheap, you just need a time machine. I built a few that were about that price including a free 128GB SSD in late 2024. The FSP500 PSU from one particular ebay seller was cheaper then too ($5-10).

Been really fun watching this go from e-waste to having mesa support and CU/CPU unlocks.

B2s have made the trip from Whiteman AFB to perform flyovers at the past 20 or so Rose Bowls fwiw

The end of ESG investing and, yes, preference falsification and preference cascade. They never believed in it, it was just socially unacceptable to admit it until the pendulum swung back in the other direction.

I thought most of these comments have actionable if not tough to hear advice.

Perhaps offering an opportunity for more humility and introspection. Instead you’re here doubling down on the victim mindset.

Wishing you the best.

I also had a BP6 with two Celeron 400As. Stuck on Win98 for a while until Win2k graphics drivers got good enough for gaming.

> I doubt Vavle would help Lenovo with support on a device they'd shortly eclipse with better specs.

Why wouldn’t they? It more or less locks the user into the Steam store where Valve gets a cut of every sale. That’s their primary income stream.

Inertia, layman brand perception, anticompetitive behavior (Intel has been in court for 15+ years about this).

An example in the laptop space, Intel invested a lot in the marketing and designs of the Ultrabook classification. So customers ask for an Ultrabook from Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. and those are only available with Intel CPUs. It’s taken several years for AMD mobile CPUs to work their way into high end designs.

If you know a student’s residential zip code, high school, and name you can make a very educated guess without ever asking race.

The rules changed but the ideology hasn’t.

Or a syringe with a needle tip. Thats how a lot of the liquid metal TIMs are sold. Works great for picking up excess.

I could have been more clear but you misread. Olives are fruit, too.

An unpitted olive in a jar of pitted olives.

An unpitted cherry in a jar of pitted cherries.
