This was why I stopped using Mint when i tried it years ago. My tinkering broke the world too easily. Not sure if that has changed.

Seemed to become a rarer skill in the late 80s early 90s. It’s now at the point where I’m surprised if a co-op or younger coworker knows how to touch type. So strange with how “everything is computer” for so many jobs. How it is not a prerequisite for computer science courses blows my mind. I don’t think I could manage it.

i use it docked more than anything else with a 1080p monitor my old work was chucking. Works perfectly.

Some of my sms faves: Outrun, Space Harrier, Phantasy Star, Rampage, Psycho Fox, Spellcaster

Not sure. Maybe because it’s all word of mouth. It pops into the news occasionally when others in the scene are interviewed and then i guess his PR sweeps it back under the rug. He was known for rolling with a massive security detail and as someone not to be trifled with. Redman spoke about some of the stories if you want to look it up.

They’re both pretty gross people if you delve further into their history and it makes it less surprising.

The most surprising one for me is how MC Hammer was a legit gangster but low key about it after his fame.

it will also of course remove overspray if you’re out of lacquer thinner and as a side bonus the fumes will later reveal that the paint shop didn’t prep for top coat what they “fixed” next to what you’re working on.

For one build I made that mistake. I went with SFF partly due to motherboard and RAM shortages and i could barely upgrade it... I won’t do that again. But before that i would start at low to mid spec for components, a mobo and PSU with room to grow, and slowly max them out over time.

However, like i said in another reply it seems like i can repurpose less and less in later builds as tech evolves more rapidly these days and or I run into a wall with bottlenecking something or another even if i can upgrade a component. As a result I’m definitely taking a longer pause this time.

True. I guess it’s not completely purposeless as I’ll reuse and repurpose what i can. But for last build especially I could barely reuse any of it. GPU, increasing power reqs overall and avoiding bottlenecking seem to muck up that strategy the most. If anything i enjoy what feels like a huge leap in performance every time i build one.

I run my boxes for so long I end up having to basically build a whole new rig by the time it is obsolete thanks to socket, RAM and GPU changes. Feels like it almost defeats the purpose of rolling your own. I mostly just use my Steam Deck at this point. Tired of keeping up with all that combined with shortages.

maybe we should just go back to posting the exploits publicly with zero warning. fuck em.

i like when i find myself pre-banned from subreddits I’ve never been in for participating in ones they don’t like. Site is such a joke.
