I just noticed that the old desktop I have next to my main one is literally a C2D machine. I really need to get a KVM or maybe find a cheap office monitor so I can use it conveniently.
>>20 the thing that pisses me off is that there's a bunch of free (and capital F Free) software that runs like pure shit it's easy to understand a shitty company trying to sell you the latest thing, like what MS, Google, and Apple all do since they all directly profit from hardware sales... but most software developers and companies don't have that kind of incentive
a lot of it really is just incompetence
>>19 the most disgusting thing is easily just how many devices are e-waste almost immediately due to their effective performance they're fast devices in an objective sense, way faster than anything I'd have used in like 2005 or so but the effective performance is MUCH worse due to the shit software, just stuttering garbage out the gate, programs open slowly, not much space onboard and no good way to expand it (again, there's a lot of space in an objective sense - I ran Windows XP on a 10GB disk, and the device might have 32GB... but 16 of that is used out of the box, and programs take up hundreds of megabytes instead of only dozens now), it all just sucks ass
