Intel Core 2 Duo? 4 GB DDR3 RAM?
Cretaceous period intensifies
That was my home server specs til February. Upgraded to a third gen i5 and 8gb ram
I don’t know what you guys are talking about?
I’ve used an old laptop with Windows 11 (just because I wasn’t supposed to) which had Core 2 Duo T7500 (upgraded from T7100), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, but with an SSD rather than HDD. Pretty usable with that thing.Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.
oh god what the fuck you ran windows fucking 11 on it??? i have no words
Pretty usable with that thing.
Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.
So pretty usable until windows 11 broke it?
No, the hardware died. Just randomly shut down a few times until it didn’t boot nor POST anymore. The most it could do is spin a fan and output 5V to USB.
Probably the faulty nvidia die substrate issue. I’m amazed it lasted this long, most of those chips died long ago.
Yeah, I’ve seen such stuff on old forums. Unfortunately, a replacement GPU would cost around €50, and that is just not worth it to try obviously.
The CPU was €1.38 on AliExpress, so that was worth a try, but for the most part it just produced more heatSome different GPU would probably work there, but then again, I don’t know if it is a GPU issue. It wouldn’t even show any drive activity when attempting to boot.
I had a t61p that suffered from it. Unfortunately I came to the same conclusion that it wasn’t worth fixing. It’s too bad since that was one of the last really good thinkpads.
How is that usable? My work laptop with win11 is at 8-10 GB after boot
Perhaps early Windows 11 was a bit different. Plus I disabled Superfetch and BITS which would otherwise max out CPU, and when still on HDD, that too.
Though I am not entirely sure if I also disabled something else.It could idle at around 5% I believe.
Also, unused RAM is wasted RAM. Just because it’s used doesn’t mean it’s unusably full. Linux too will eat up entire RAM for caching, but it can be freed when needed.
Is it easy to permanently disable Superfetch?
This is just being poor
You think thats hot…I got a Ryzen 3…
5400 RPM spinning rust? Walk away.
This exchange is older than grindr
4GB ram? this guy is lemon party material.
5400RPM?!
Ghosted.
I wouldn’t have gotten that far. That utter savage can’t even tell the difference between MT/s and MB/s.
It’s energy efficient and quiet 🥺 it’s romantic because it takes longer 🥺
Those specs suck.
I’m going to take a shot in the dark and say the toned one wouldn’t know the difference
They’d have been alright in 2009.
But ATI drivers suck, especially on Linux. Everyone knows that you need nVidia if you want to game on Linux!
5 inches thick? It’s a chunky clam chowder can, yikes
Unless it’s circumference, otherwise it should be advertised as a 5.25inch floppy
If it’s 5.25 inches when floppy, how big is it when the drive is hard?
I hear it gets to 10.5" right before he faints from the sudden drop in blood pressure.
It is circumference. And thickness >>> length.
Thank you, this detail had me scratching my head. D≈1.56" makes so much more sense.
Not knowing the difference between circumference and thickness? Instant turn off.
The rule is that you would report the bigger number. It’s dick sizes - there’s hundreds of contrived ways to brag.
110 mils
needle dick then
You completely forgot to mention it runs Arch
That is implied.
The Arch is slightly to the left.
…what year is this???
How is that outdated machine the correct response? My brother in Christ, you need to upgrade that rig out of 2004.
Seagate never made a 512GB HDD at least that I can find.
Now, now, I’m sure the first guy was “enhancing” his own specs a little bit, too. We all do it.
That said, there are some arguably similar drives listed at 500 GB capacity on ebay. But it’s not the size of the disk, it’s the gesticulation of the allocation.
I have several 500gb hdd’s. I’ve never seen one labled 512 gb. Only micro sd cards and SSD’s. If they did exist, I’d suspect they were either IDE or SAS.
Look, we all exaggerate a lil’ bit on dating apps.
Are you telling me this post is fake?
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic
Im almost positive they did, i had one in my core 2 quadro machine iirc, but it was 7200rpm not 5400.
I’ve never seen a 512gb hdd. It’s such a weird number. I’ve seen 512gb micro SD cards.
How is it a weird number? Its 2**9
HDDs have generally been dec round numbers rather than binary
Maybe but its still not a weird number in this context :p
I feel like for HDDs it is. In general it is not. The even weirder thing is that HDD sizes are expressed in decimal gigabytes to inflate the numbers. A 500 GB drive will show as around 480 in some operating systems.
I hope this is a really old meme, otherwise I fell bad for my bro.
otherwise I fell bad for my bro
Not sure if you meant to write “feel”, but it is too late now.
Maybe you should get in touch 😏Pretty sure that set up and this guy both sucked before Grindr launched.
As a man who doesn’t use things like grindr, I get the feeling that men who get that specific about their body measurements are probably red flags. Is that correct?
Why?
I don’t think anyone goes on Grindr to find true love. Same with Tinder.
I found my wife on tinder, so take that how you will.
Most people date from the Internet now and days. It’s not wild to find love. It’s just a connection point.
Well shit, looks like I found another exception - I also found my girlfriend in an odd place online. Good for you :), genuinely.
In profile stats people lie about their dick size. I’ve never had a person lie in the actual message though. The fact this person left out their age and then used wbu would make me hesitant to reply though.
Probably
Intel
Okay off to a bad start.
Core 2 Duo
Ok boomer.
But what’s the radius of the balls?
I would understand if he ran away. Not because you’re a nerd, but because of the wooden computer
The PC… 🤏
In its hay day I would have killed for that.
P.S. my auto-correct wants me to say “have gotten killed for that”. Yet again, I’m the victim.
Yea I hate when I got killed for something and then right a message about it.
