This week I’m refurbishing a 15+ yr old computer which was stalling on windows 10 and got abandoned. Currently making a huge backup to an Icy box (the self built variant of a wd passport or similar).
On wednesday, a friend comes over and we’re repasting the old i5. I might add some ram and a better but used cpu later which should give this thing another 10 yrs as a server. The mainboard is full of features and would accept a 4 core with 8 threads and 16 GBs of DDR3. Nothing to play recent games on but maaaaany docker containers will run on this baby! :)
Let me know what you’re doing to spit on consumerism and built-for-the-landfill-economy.
Reminder: I made a petition on change.org to make consumer electronics manufacturers open their devices after they stop supporting them. Please sign it, your support is needed.
I do a lot of the same stuff and people are constantly telling me I need to make videos. But they fail to realize.is that moment you decide to make videos you have to buy a whole lot of lighting gear and you will increase the amount of time it takes to do anything by at least eight fold when you figure in camera positioning and editing. Massively increases the mental and time load.
I understand. Its a lot of work to do videos properly. I was rather referring to just putting a phone in the corner and a cheap bluetooth mic on your shirt. But I get your point. Its not as easy as it sounds.
