I have a T430 that still sees use as an occasional web browsing & Arduino coding machine. I bought it used in 2016 without HDD for $150, and I don’t think I’ve gotten better value for money with any of my other computer purchases to-date.

Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that’s the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel…how’s that 286 doing for you?

He Heard it was the new thing to do.

Isn’t that already a case for the police or FBI or something?

Yes

The fact that people were still paying for ‘professional’ dowsing services as recently as 20 years ago says a lot too. Many people genuinely thought that wells needed to hit a specific spot to get water, the comprehension of how water tables work was certainly lacking.

Are you including the R&D costs? Best estimates I’ve seen for a mechzilla put labour and materials between 65-95 million USD

I thought it blew up because after tipping over the tanks ruptured - a normal result of a rocket tip-over. Am I mistaken?

I think you’ve got too many zeros on your price estimate, no? The tower is huge, but there’s no way it costs five hundred million dollars.

I do exactly this, and use Keepass2Android on my phone and have nextcloud-KeeWeb installed.

Tangentally related - For anyone looking to take over a project, KeeWeb is looking for a new maintainer!

I speak a little bit of German, but no, the guy who created the series is a native English speaker with Afrikaans as his second language.

It absolutely gets used in English speaking companies. I’ve got one in my work calendar as a reoccurring event.

It’s an apt metaphor for the truth though, isn’t it?

What’s so insane about it? Web browsers are an evolution of the old gopher protocol. All this stuff has roots in text consoles.

How obvious is it that it’s a bot?

Sure looks like he’s claiming that the team has been reduced from 4 to 1, not the 11 to 1 claimed above, and one was for customer support? Not to say it’s insignificant, but doesn’t sound like the train-smash originally portrayed.

My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to ‘upgrade’ to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.

I’m looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don’t seem worth it.

I’m going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I’m not sure they’ll compete with surplus server kit.

I used to think so too, but I’ve got an Intel box where I have to turn hardware offload off in order to not have networking ‘crashes’ (complete with kernel dump data) that take out my networking for 5-15sec. Chip is i218-LM r05.

I’ve never had an issue with my i210 and x550 chips, but this 218 is super frustrating.

The original Rosetta, which was emulating PPC on x86 is directly comparable to the situation of PS3-game-on-PS4 hardware. I was able to play Halo CE for Mac on x86 with Rosetta and it felt native.

The point is that this isn’t a limitation of technology, this was a decision on Sony’s part.

Xbox One plays a number of 360 games fine.

Apple used QuickTransit for their PPC apps on Intel migration to great success.

I guess Sony just didn’t want to pay the emulator tax?

My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.
