I used Poweramp back when I was an Android user. I think there's a port of foobar2000 as well.

We're in a civil war already, we just don't know it yet.

As long as what I'm doing doesn't have a hard AVX2 requirement, I'm having a hard time finding a workload that really, truly crushes it underfoot, even at stock clocks. Sure, my 1135g7 takes a fifth of the power to run ~10-15% faster, but that's basically a full decade removed, I'd sure hope it...

I've got an i7-2600 box up on the bench right now testing its RAM after I installed an updated UEFI a friend put together for me that fixes UEFI in general (these Sandy boxes were early days for that, yet) and curiously allows for booting NVME, and after I went down a few little rabbitholes with...

Yeah, I ran it on my 16GB SLGO2 and noticed a pretty decent drop in allocated RAM at the desktop, though a modern web browser still soon renders that moot. I hate this timeline.

Something like this is what I have in mind. I don't LOVE giving anyone a machine with less than 16GB of RAM anymore, but it sounds like her needs are pretty basic, and this will satisfy basic needs pretty well especially for the money. If she plans to do anything but update Windows and a web...

7 is your best bet. 10 will probably work but be a trainwreck -- 11 will need Rufus shenanigans to get it to even install, maybe, though on Core2 I honestly don't know if you'll run into some illegal instruction messages. I second Merc on this. Their money is better spent on a Chromebook or an...

AWS is still Amazon, which means it's still really not all that sovereign, is it?

On the contrary, I doubt it'll be very funny at all when Trump's bruised ego makes him declare war on every country that kicks us out. The American century of humiliation continues apace.

Oh, no doubt. If it were a work machine or if I wasn't planning to make use of the big IGP in the x840 SKU, I'd be fine with it, but if I'm putting in the money and it's going to be soldered, it needs to be 32. I'm making 16 work right now in the SLGO2, but it can't run some of the stuff that...

I'm kind of playing with the idea of grabbing a 7840U machine for myself before things get utterly ridiculous, and Walmart even had a Zenbook with an 8840HS and 16/512 for an actually fairly reasonable $599 when I happened to be in for something else yesterday. I want the superior build quality...

My guess is they're supplying chips for AI, so they really don't care if the peons buy or not.

I did some domain consolidation, settling in on using my .net domain going forward for everything instead of the .xyz and .com. The .com is a bit expensive to maintain, the .xyz isn't taken seriously (and *.xyz is on enough spam lists that it's legitimately limited my ability to sign up for...

I don't necessarily mean moving back home in the context of moving back in with my Dad, if only because he's stubborn and won't let me take care of him. If it was something I needed for financial reasons he'd do it, but he won't let me do the same for him. I understand his reasoning, but that...

My question for them would be, why would they not have the cameras on year-round? Kids don't just stop existing in the summer. It's not like there aren't summer activities, from what I understand a lot of agricultural programs do a fair bit of their work in the summer. Is it a cost-cutting...
