I’m typing this on my lemmy “server” PC, an 8500 i5 running Linux Mint (and lemmy.mindoki.com yay !)

I keep my 2600X Windows machine but I more and more rarely feel the need to go back to it. Photoshop something quickly or scan or print something, got a lot of stuff on the drives, … not very much more! Guess I’ll have to deal with some specific stuff if I want to fire up my 3D printer, but once the change done, it’s done forever I feel, and not like every windows update you have to re-do/learn something again…

Ah, you wanted some sort of comment? Sorry, I was just ranting :-D

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

That seems quite top of the line even today.

For battery life, the screen, the screen, the GPU (seems you use an IGP), the size of the screen, and the CPU are the main culprits.

64GB RAM will use some battery do you really need that much?

Hopefully your 1TB is an SSD otherwise an SSD is a nice upgrade.

There are also fat fat powerbanks for power users far away from a 110/220volt line!

I Am curious, most often power hungry laptops are gaming ones… What do you do with yours?

Well you can do it the ‘old’ way serving front (pages) from the back like PHP did it.

Turbo Pascal, Go, assembler and Basic I guess :-D

I feel you are onto something there ;-) what about everyone who wants it (and can) gets to work from home ?! :-D

He mixed up spaces and tabs, threw the keyboard out the window.

Python is nice.

Python is cool IMO, got loads of libraries and gets your little app up in notime.

Not for larger projects though.

JavaScript is like the unsafest language I have touched in the last 20 years, yikes!

Still would use it as a web front end instead of python ofc.

Got a 3b a loong time ago and I love it, I use it as a jukebox and a tinker station.

Would love to get another one but man are they crazily expensive now. Tried the banana and orange pis and the are like okay but yep, they are different and doesn’t seem to have the same community at all.

Chip shortage please go away!

Edit: I buy old dell optiplexes for like 40€ instead but they do take up quite the space…

I think the guy who bought it is in for life though :-)

Someone believing the two rich guys would eventually fight (in a cage no less) should stop being so much on the internet and go outside a bit.

Do you thing 3dstudio would work in a VM?

Matrix multiplications could be at least somehow multi threaded and few fields has been more optimized than displaying 3D. Do you mean simulations maybe?

I would have thought they were done mostly on the GPU nowadays?

As we all did with winxp, hangout and even facebook, and yeah a whole slew of stuff that did seem nice at one moment.

The next moment it wasn’t there any more in the way we liked it!

FOSS on the other hand is here to stay.

Windows chance , and . depending on the language settings, so yeah so so simple and helpful :-/

And usability, windows gets more and more complicated IMO, and not in the “fun” way Linux can be completed.

Like the two people configuring an auto reply when they went on holidays …

You can figure out the rest I guess, fun even if it wasn’t 15 million mails in an hour :-)

You can try a boot from usb key too for example.

Thanks for answering “the Yang” so that I don’t need to :-)

Remember, don’t feed the trolls !

Yeah large EEE on ActivityPub feels like almost a given if they start to use it.
