I wanted a thin and light laptop for travel, I was looking between an X1 Carbon 9th gen, or a HP dragonfly gen 2, I ended up scoring a HP with a i5-1145g7, 16gb lpddr4 for $275 on eBay.

Middle left is where it is at, leaders wingman

I’m so bad at remembering all these different Intel code names

Honestly, I had a game like this I couldn’t find, and ChatGPT figured it out in 2 messages.

Why does everything have to be a YouTube video

Fusion? That would be big. The continual role out of green energy which can push the price down. The McRib coming back. Normal things.

The dev plot mentions it’s more of a app, and trying to pair it with a minimal Linux kernel, I wonder if that would work on a esp32

Now that helldivers works, I care less, even as a big battlefield player

I feel that Super Earth is doing a great job bringing managed democracy to the galaxy!

Calling your friends house, and asking if they were home and could talk.

Battlefield 1942 would be great

I guess it depends your version of safe :p

It is managed, I haven’t seen a FOSS firmware for this. I don’t think it has a Cumulus or OpenSwitch release. If it did I would take that over EOL proprietary.

I got it on eBay, it had its firmware wiped so I had to follow a guide from servethehome.com to reload it full. It was for $250 and allowed offers, I did $150 and somehow got accepted! The noise when it reboots… everyone in the house can hear it… but then once it boots it’s not too bad and there are flags the community has to lower it even more. I probably wouldn’t want it on a desk next to me all the time, but it’s not too bad.

The good thing about end of support switches… no outages for software updates… because there aren’t any…

Cisco CLI is still useful to learn, a bunch of other makes (Arista, Mellanox) copy it a good amount.

Agreed, I come from Cisco stuff at work and the Mikrotik learning curve is real real.

I also have some mikrotik for more edge stuff! They are great! But I outgrew the 8 port one I had and don’t want to pay$600 for a bigger one :)

Would you recommend a 3018 pro for a beginner? I just want to do some smaller things but have a few small soft metal things. I just don’t want to spend $2,000 for a 50x50 machine when I want to try a few small things.

Which cnc? I want to get one but I just need a desktop one and am trying to figure out how much I want to spend.

I don’t think it’s fair to jump on Microsoft for this one. Windows 10 has been out for almost 10 years. Apple gives less support for systems than 10 years, they are closer to 8, which is still a while.

If you bought a PC in 2018 or later it should support tpm in the CPU, if it doesn’t it’s on Dell or HP or whomever made the system. If you built a pc you can buy a TPM for most motherboards.

Microsoft said you can pay for updates for windows 10 if you want. If your parents core i5-2700 with 4gb of ram from 2012 will no longer get free updates… that seems fair… or go to Linux, but we know most people won’t. Honestly it would be a great time for a “convert to chromeOS installer”
