I agree and its annoying that we have to uwe multiple services even if they are all owned by a few companies.

A used laptop with a messed up screen will work as well.

Sucks, but I did spend close to a year on the various platforms till I found someone.

Ddr5, but the laptop size on amazon. I just checked and its still under 900

I got 64GB of ram for my laptop back in April, was close to 700, of is 829 today. I guess only desktop sizes are over 1k?

As someone that is bring changed from fully remote to hybrid in the next few weeks, I am already sad.

It’s true, I can not understand how all grocery stores constantly have fruit and vegetables available.

See what amazon did to older working kindles. Is there a law that phone makers can’t just brick their devices when considered old enough? It doesn’t seem that way. Soon we will all revert back to phones as phones only.

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

Don’t the same brands also make the store (private label) brands?

How about no closed door meetings. Even small town governments have closed to the public meetings…

It’s more that my daily life tasks have no use for AI agents or llms. I have dabbled with running local llms and agents, but idk yet, just haven’t gotten enough out of it that it seems worth it.

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

I got my kid a used dell that was $90 on eBay and it’s running linux just fine with the 8th Gen i5. If you need more you can likely just spend 100 more. I have a hard time justification for new unless you have a need for specific hardware

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

What does this mean for the ISP supplied units?

There is an old guy at the deli near me that reads the paper with his coffee.

I also remember being asked to write about current events in school and had to turn to the newspaper to find something current.
