Well, the house I’m living in now was built in the 1960s, and is also still very solid.

My parents’ timber house is from the 1780s and is still solid. So, 240 years at least, give or take. I’m aware of plenty of timber houses from the 1600s that are still standing and functional as well.

Thousands of years ago. The orcs that we see were at no point elves.

My parents are using a 3rd gen i7 and it works fine. My brother has a few computers, one is a 2nd gen intel, but I think he put Linux on that one. My home server was running on my 4th gen i7 until I upgraded it to my second gen Ryzen earlier this year after I upgraded my gaming.

You don’t want your computer to gain incredible, godlike powers?

I’m using Zoho. It’s pretty cheap and wasn’t hard to set up with my domain.

There’s a setting Teams, under “Files and Links” where you can change it from Edge to Default Browser. Scummy that it works that way, but you can work around it at least (for now anyway).

I do, mostly because it gives a different menu if you click that vs the start menu (it shows recently open programs). If I’m searching I generally just hit the windows key and type, but if I’m slouched and reaching for the mouse only it can be helpful. It’s not like it takes up a lot of space, I’ve got an ultrawide at work and dual 2560x1440 monitors at home.

That’s a 4770k, so the CPU is from ~2014, so the motherboard is probably similar vintage.

Mint MATE also looks and works a lot like Windows.

The only part of it that I felt sucked was the timed war table stuff. The rest was a solid, great game. Were there parts that could have been better? Yes. Does that make the game bad overall? No.

Same! I went from a 2700x to the 7800x3d. I’ll probably upgrade in 4-7 years depending on my financial situation and the specs for new hardware.

Oddly it doesn’t load in Firefox but works fine in Chrome. Firefox shows this error:

On the positive side, if your vaultwarden server dies, the cached vault on any/all of your devices can be logged into and export the vault.

Framework is amazing (I have a 7840u 13in) but they’re expensive. 100% worth it to me as an enthusiast and IT professional but possibly not for someone less interested in the tech itself.

32 isn’t that cold, even if it’s snowing. I do currently live in Minnesota though, so my sense of temperature is much different than someone from somewhere warm.

It really does feel like their setup process is broken! Also, they fortunately only seem to break every 6ish months or so, which isn’t a lot but it’s really not great either. Maybe since it’s a newer one it’ll break less for the person you set it up for!

I have a few of them at work, installed by my predecessor. They randomly break when the app updates and are a pain to get back online.
