Hey, I’ve been doing this 30 years and just learned it today, you have NOTHING to feel bad about. :)

Or cheese.

I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.

Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.

$3,500 here.

Pretty much. Try getting a job without online access, or applying for state and federal benefits. Or getting a doctor through your insurance plan.

“I demand summary judgement!”

“GRANTED!”

“No… not like that…”

IIRC this is the case where his lawyers neglected to ask for a jury trial, so it’s all on the judge and he IS NOT having it…

Found liable for sexual assault and defamation in civil court isn’t quite the same as “convicted sex offender” in criminal court.

For example, he doesn’t (yet) have to join a sex offender registry.

Sounds like someone wasn’t able to ship product and had their licensing pulled…

“what happens next is… unchartered territory.”

Gosar is such a tool.

You know it’s bad when his own family said “Yeah, don’t vote for this guy.”

Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.

Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.

Weird choice of graphic. Why flip the US and place it on the left?

The Chinese map isn’t flipped, so it’s not a case of the entire graphic being mirrored…

Pointless survey since we don’t have national elections.

We won’t have a real understanding until we can count Trump primary votes and compare that to the state by state results in the 2016 primary and general.

Then it’s matter of following state by state polling until election day.

“Additionally, Mr Biden’s age remains a problem for many who believe at 80 years old, he is too old to run again.”

Trump will be the same age Biden is now in 2026.

“Gaming”

“Sub $1,000”

My gut reaction is “choose one”.

You might be able to get a gaming laptop under $1K but get ready to replace it in 2 years.

I could see a purpose for it:

“This is ‘propaganda’ kids. It’s designed to teach you things that aren’t true. Here’s how to learn it isn’t true, and here’s how to learn who is behind it and why they want you to be taught things that aren’t true.”

Can you imagine Beyonce? They would need new servers.

Aha! Makes sense!

26th? I thought it was the 21st?

I don’t get the surprise… Apple has ALWAYS been like this. They don’t want “normies” screwing around with “their” gear.

Heck, you needed a case cracker tool to open the OG Macintosh machines, they were specifically engineered to keep people out.

My work software kept seeing weird bugs in Chrome, so I switched permanently.
