And your computer is your identity?

Should I get a tattoo that lists my specs?

I’m a windows and Mac user.

And Linux too, but mostly for servers only.

The CPU being a few years old will definitely help. But Valve has nowhere near the economies of scale that Samsung does. And 16 gigs of ram in this economy? Valve has said that they don’t intend to take a loss on their hardware.

Plus I remember seeing some articles like this where even Samsung was worried about not being able to make money off their phones.

With a snapdragon 8, and 16 gigs of ram it won’t be cheap. That’s for sure.

I just tell them I’m gonna be late one day. No PTO necessary.

Link works for me now. Federation seems slow sometimes.

Nobody is buying this CPU for the value.

CS2 is completely free from adobe. It doesn’t understand scaling in windows, and won’t run on the next Mac OS release. But it’s serviceable.

Did low end 4g phones ever really go away? I’ve been looking at them for a few years now and was always astonished that they never bothered upgrading to 5g.

And yet the “mobile chip” in my Mac Studio absolutely crushes my 9800x3d while using almost half the power.

Very few Intel devices supported Mac OS 26. They’d been winding down supported machines for a while before that.

Laptop or desktop?

Your CPU will handle 100c just fine. Intels turbo boost is designed to run the CPU as fast and hot as possible. Your CPU is designed to run at those temps for years and it will be fine.

GPUs tend to not like it as much. Smaller lower end GPUs tend to handle it better than bigger ones, but neither like running at their max temp all day.

If you have bleeding edge hardware then Linux driver support is usually a pain in the ass. On windows there’s one, maybe 2 Windows versions. And manufacturers typically make drivers for windows first.

Got older hardware? It’s probably gonna work great on Linux.

Apple Watch.

Primarily fitness and sleep tracking.

Garmins are a bit better for fitness tracking, but the Apple Watch is one of the best for sleep tracking.

I don’t really use any apps on it besides that, but ringing, and the fine location tracking for my phone is amazing.

Don’t make the post if you don’t want others to benefit from it.

PM a random person and bother them if you want to be selfish hoard the info for yourself. Don’t make a public post on a public messaging board if you don’t want that info to be public.

I absolutely detest how on lemmy deleting a post also nukes access to the comments. They’re still there, but there’s no way in many normally lemmy UI to get to them.

It’s around the performance of an M1 Mabcbook pro. So like a 10th Gen. i9, but using basically no power.

Thankfully I can still use my American Express!

I don’t see why that would have broken anything. I’ve never done that before. I’m pretty sure on that old version of Mac OS you could’ve just run resetpassword in terminal to have reset it. But maybe that’s only on the dvd.

Well as long as disk utility works find an iso of whatever Mac OS you want to run and burn that to a USB drive. 10.6 is my favorite since it still has Rosetta to run old PPC OSX software, has the old look, but has the best software support.
