so every app using older versions of chromium at an underlying level will stay scuffed until they bury their ego and provide an interpreter
which will cause autistic screeching about muh immutable security from HackerNews retards
mint you really should just get an actual computer lmao
you actually do computer stuff
I had a decade old gaming pc with the 1070 that could chugging along (must live 2 more years), and a 1 year old windows 11 laptop I bought with decent enough specs for a non gaming laptop
(and my switch 2 for console gaming, but I have only bought kirby air riders thus far for that)
I want a new computer, I know I need one, but any desire to buy one kind of died with the ram price hike
almong other bullshit computer part price hikes
I would never give up having an actual PC, I do too much random shit that having a proper setup is nice for
Just don't upgrade your parts?
I am of the belief that you should just buy something and burn through it until it is at deaths door
Polu makes fun of my 1070 every time I suggest maybe I could possibly play a new game
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I am of the belief that you should just buy something and burn through it until it is at deaths door
Yeah that’s a good belief to have in life. Waste is for the rich lol
I only had a laptop in college, it was fine
Same with phones, people who buy phones more than once every 4-5 years are insane to me
but not having a PC of some sort would drive me crazy
it was always going to sell out
for the initial launch
they're not for-sale yet
also that
but yes, they will sell out
but it could be 500 dollars more expensive and still sell out
its long term sales that are probably hurt more by the price
Pika, the pone thing is less crazy if you buy flagship phones and trade them in (Note I don't do this)
because then your cost is about the same as buying one new phone every ~4 years or w/e
I guess that makes more sense, but that seems like more hastle then its worth
I also don't think you should buy the flagship product for anything ever, it is always overpriced
I agree, moving stuff over to a new phone and getting it setup up from scratch and learning all the little different things
it has none of the fun of a fresh Windows install
Windows installs I at least get to be mad as I fix it
Replying to Dalkor #dalkor. I was 2 years off even lol. 2022 not 2024
gj updating your computer
phones I just feel nothing
Microsoft approves
I hate apple so
I'm pretty certain my next phone is going to be an iphone
I hate android so much rn
apple only in theory makes sense to me if you subscribe to their full ecosystem,I would not be
I also prefer manually transfering things because I am comically old
All the fun I used to have on android with my Nexus 5 and then with my LG and sony phone are just dead
so I just plug my phone into my pc to move files
I also do not believe in doing payment plans
That's a good way to free up their old cellular bands lol
if I am buying something, I am buying it
I'm with you on the payment plan thing Pika
financing overpriced tech is just a dumb way to cope with overpaying
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak you actually do computer stuff
the most preformant games i play are cyberpunk 2077 and cities skylines 2. both run fine on my 2016 laptop, but yes do need to upgrade probably soon
I meant beyond gaming mint
You literally use linux, perhaps not well, but that is doing computer stuff
It's frustrating to upgrade now becuase we're at the end of the current PC hardware generation, and the next gen stuff has been delayed
so much delayed that they're actually producing last-gen stuff again, just because
The one thing I have been considering is a proper tablet to use for lecturing, but the good ones are expensive
