Yeah i don’t have that kind of experience, so me troubleshooting parts would drag on forever. And then they could break months down the line.

In my experience, when buying second hand you trade time and effort for the price; being able to fix things means more time and more effort for even more savings. That’s what this really is.

I guess there’s something to how little i understand computer hardware making me imagine it as more fragile than it is

Oh wow, i wasn’t expecting helpful advice for that specific model. Thanks!

The fingerprint scanner never worked properly, i had to register the same finger 3 times to make it kinda usable. Now a few months later it doesn’t work at all.

I’m thinking of buying my next set of PC parts used, but i’m scared of the reliability. Which is weird because i buy absolutely everything else scond hand

Samsung A03.

After years of buying the cheapest phones possible, i got really tired of it and spent more money to get a better one, hoping to finally be free of all the bullshit.

It’s the worst phone i’ve ever owned.

Cost me 100€ second hand instead of the ususal 50€. I am so disgusted

I had San Andreas on PS2 as a kid, only played it on PC a little bit as an adult; but, the fact that you type the cheat codes on a keyboard means they kinda make words, so i forgot the PS2 ones and i remember some PC ones.

You know Call of Duty started out as killing nazis on the Quake engine. I don’t remember really liking them but it’s there

Life hack: let someone steal your car. They get easy loot, you get 1. conveniently rid of your beater and 2. insurance money.

Disclaimer: i’m not the first to think of this and they made it illegal long before your beater was even built

Gaming aside, powerful GPUs are useful for a lot of work like 3D graphics, video editing, neural networks, and a lot of stuff i don’t know about

That’s dragon damage

I’ve never seen Loops but i like it purely because it reminds me of

The idea that nature is precious and must be preserved is human-centric.

Trees caused an extinction event when they appeared by absorbing all the carbon dioxyde and radically changing the atmosphere. But we feel bad when we’re the ones doing it

Comments saying “you don’t” are weak shit. The answer is you rotate each letter one by one.

It will look like shit because they will be ever so slightly misaligned, but such is the fate of the brave

Yyeah but if their definition of “fresh” includes the navy seals copypasta, then by god don’t let them sell milk

I’ve googled it for you: she’s going to be green for 28 to 45 days.

That’s a lot of places in the world, you could pick random cities and have a decent chance of this being true.

Venice is another level because of the mass tourism and vacation rentals

Corsica, except Corsica is a French department

Still appreciate someone linking to the OP. That should be a rule in this channel

Transitioning from Windows to Linux Mint was effortless for me, everything worked out of the box and i haven’t typed a line of code yet. All i’ve had to to do is install Diodon to get the clipboard history feature.

However all i’ve done with it is internet and office work, basic stuff. No gaming, no video editing, no 3D animation or any such. I think if you have a mature and complicated creative workflow it’s totally possible that you’ll struggle to move to Linux

Enjoy being the only one posting.

Mass adoption is fundamental to make any social media viable; the fewer users it has, the less useful it is. Reddit has more users than Lemmy. It’s that simple. People won’t start switching until everybody else switches.

Bluesky is only barely starting to compete with Twitter, and that’s after Twitter drastically worsened. Lemmy is a long, long way from competing with Reddit.

To me, it’s a matter of time. The structural advantages of the fediverse mean that it’s more stable on the long run; what i mean by that is, for-profit Reddit will get worse while Lemmy remains good, leading users to migrate here, so Lemmy will eventually outlive Reddit. And then along the way there will be a few big moments where Reddit really fucks up and a wave of people washes up on Lemmy. This is already happening, i’m pretty sure all of us here made our accounts after the Reddit API changes.
