"People vastly underestimate the importance of general-purpose computing, and can’t fathom how much worse things can get when it’s gone. Imagine all the (real) economic benefits since the invention of the transistor being directed by a command economy. Liberties we take for granted on already flawed and compromised systems could be diminished entirely. A non-trivial part of this is that one could argue that personal computing has always been artificially cheap. It’s possible that these price hikes better represent a ‘fair’ value of these machines."

    My computer’s basically a celebrity, constantly buzzing, always dramatic, and surrounded by fans, yet it still can’t keep cool under pressure. 🌡️💫🧊

    I also heard if you remove Windows, you get your sanity back. Weird how the fans stop screaming too.

    I heard if you install Linux, Microsoft stops spying on you. Sounds wild. Apparently, it even comes with this experimental feature called “a Start menu without ads.”

            Seht mal her über was ich mal wieder gestolpert bin.

            Wenn dieser olle PC-Vertriebler damals bloß gewusst hätte dass seine Billigheimerei mir einen PC ohne Windows zu verkaufen dazu führen würde, dass ich später nichts anderes mehr nutze?
            Hätte er es dann trotzdem gemacht? War ja langfristig geschäftsschädigend für die Branche.
            Ich könnte heute glücklicher Windowsnutzer sein!
            Doch mein erster sellbstgekaufter PC kam ohne OS und mit einer Linux Live CD ... und der Rest ist Geschichte.

            Eine CD. "mtb-linux 3.1" steht mitunter darauf. Auch ein Hinweis auf media-tek und alphamax.

                heise+ | All-in-One-PC im Test: Asus ExpertCenter P600 AIO mit Ryzen-AI-300-Prozessor

                Asus’ sparsamer und leiser Business-PC unterscheidet sich äußerlich kaum von einem typischen 27-Zoll-Monitor. Dank HDMI-Eingang taugt er auch als Display.

                  My daughter's PC bit the dust today. I knew it was coming, it started having issues a few weeks ago and I am surprised it made it until now. It was a cheap Micro Center rebuilt so I'm going to get her an HP on sale at Best Buy. All this AI crap has wrecked the RAM market, you'd think it was unobtanium or something. I had to convince Melissa it was worth it to go up to 16GB for now. Hopefully like with the graphics card market, RAM will go down in the future.

                  How's your day going?
