Yeah i don’t have that kind of experience, so me troubleshooting parts would drag on forever. And then they could break months down the line.

In my experience, when buying second hand you trade time and effort for the price; being able to fix things means more time and more effort for even more savings. That’s what this really is.

I guess there’s something to how little i understand computer hardware making me imagine it as more fragile than it is

Oh wow, i wasn’t expecting helpful advice for that specific model. Thanks!

The fingerprint scanner never worked properly, i had to register the same finger 3 times to make it kinda usable. Now a few months later it doesn’t work at all.

I’m thinking of buying my next set of PC parts used, but i’m scared of the reliability. Which is weird because i buy absolutely everything else scond hand

Samsung A03.

After years of buying the cheapest phones possible, i got really tired of it and spent more money to get a better one, hoping to finally be free of all the bullshit.

It’s the worst phone i’ve ever owned.

Cost me 100€ second hand instead of the ususal 50€. I am so disgusted

Has anybody tried to get TempleOS to run Doom?

I feel like AI companies have been scraping Reddit for their datasets already since the beginning and without permission. In fact, unless there’s been a regulation change that i’m not aware of, i’m not sure why they would have Reddit “sign away” the data when they can just scrape it.

Also dubious if the current form of AI has a future. They seem like they should revolutionize every sector when you look at their capacities, but in practice their applications might be more limited than we thought?

Anyway, if Reddit does go public i will be deleting my account within the hour. The only reason i haven’t yet is that i’ve been a moderator of the same subreddit for eight years and it’s the only thing that’s been consistent in my life in that time, i’m kind of attached. The reason i will is i didn’t sign up to create value for shareholders, i signed up to create value for a community.
