Was it Sarah Connor?

The only RGB things I have is an NVidia 3080, and the RGB ram. Unplugging those would cause me a problem. I could set them to off. But, they're there now. So I make them Borg green.

But if either of them (or the case) cost me more to have the RGB/Glass I'd not have gotten them. It's absolutely not something I care about.

You're not kidding. I have no real interest in RGB. But it was cheaper to buy a case with a glass panel and the RGB ram of the same spec was cheaper than non RGB.. I just made all the LEDs Borg green and left it that way.

I think somehow we're in the Matrix. Except the machines bought the Matrix from Temu.

Hey, it was really better times when you could have your computer in any colo(u)r you wanted, so long as it was beige.

Way way back. I was given a 486 (when pentium 90/100s were normal) at work to run the experimental internet connection on (the head of the company at the time didn't think this internet fad would last). So I installed some magazine coverdisk linux and connected the office to the internet via a single modem.

I think it had a peak uptime of 550 days before it was replaced.

windows is crashing linux is flowering, with linux there is no old pc only bad OS.

Unless it is a 486 and you want to stay current :P

Oh, it's the same here. Well, I do know what I'm doing, but I used to tinker with multiple linux distros in the 90s/2000s. I used gentoo "before it was cool", when you would literally leave it building your initial install for a whole weekend.

I cannot do that now. I went through the process of installing Arch, and it's been pretty good for me with not exploding completely on me (like Manjaro did). I honestly don't have the time to sit and diagnose why I'm stuck at a text only console without internet suddenly any more. Which is exactly what happened with Manjaro.

At this point remaining a windows user voluntarily has to be considered Stockholm syndrome.

Oh glad I'm not the only one.

I misread nfts as ntfs and spent far too long wondering why that was in the list.

So, I cannot buy new books or download my current ones. But, I can download them without paying and then install them still over USB? OK Amazon, that clears things up fine for me.
