Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
Yeah, somewhere along the line computers just kinda stopped becoming obsolete. Mine's about to turn 12, and the only thing that I had to upgrade just to keep using it for day-to-day stuff was the RAM—and that might be because the stock RAM was legit going bad, I don't know. I also upgraded the video card for gaming, and then again when the second one overheated and died. But it still has the same Core 2 Quad from 2007 and even ran The Evil Within demo without problems even though the system requirements on Steam say it needs an i7. Shit's nuts.

I've had bad luck with the times when I've needed new computers. I got a new computer for college bundled with Windows ME, then I built a new computer to replace that one when Windows Vista was the latest OS.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I'm still rocking an old Thinkpad x201 (from 2011) just because it still works and that well enough for casual browsing.
I'd like to have a better laptop, however all new laptops have shitty keyboards.
Ever since all manufactures follow Apple devotingly and mimic all of Apple's false decisions I'm out of luck having ever a new laptop with a decent keyboard. At work I use an external thinkpad USB keyboard with my company laptop because it sucks so much.

I bought a ThinkPad T580 two years ago and it's always been a delight typing on it. But as you say, Lenovo also follows Apple's lead in making laptops that are thinner at the cost of everything else. At least some ThinkPads still hold a candle to the old IBM ways.Adiwan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 1:38 pmI'm still rocking an old Thinkpad x201 (from 2011) just because it still works and that well enough for casual browsing.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
My last computer lasted almost a decade. Given what a hunk of crap it was towards the end, the fact i was able to do a ton of stuff at all was amazing.
My new computer is the best one I've had so far. Hopefully it'll last me a long time.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
The keyboard isn't for me. I hate the gap between the keys and the "sharp" edges. Sometimes I have my fingers between the key rows when typing and these features hurt my typing sensibilities. Maybe it's a bad typing habit but that's how I roll my fingers.Fizzbuzz wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:14 pmI bought a ThinkPad T580 two years ago and it's always been a delight typing on it.

Recently I typed on a recent MacBook Pro (with the butterfly keys) and they feel like my fingers are slapping loosely stacked pebbles, always on the verge of breaking down.

I'm Windows 98. Make it work for a while but it'll still crash eventually.

My partner's birthday is a week before Valentine's Day, so we just celebrate that instead. Going out to eat on Valentine's Day is always a giant pain in the ass.

I'd say there's entirely too long of a stretch between the day after Easter and the day after Halloween, but on the other hand you probably don't want to be holding onto chocolates during the melty part of the year anyway.

It's a pretty good book. Contains just about all the comics from the first decade or so, including a bonus section containing comics that were never published in previous books.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
Am watching "The Owl House" by Disney. I can recommend it just from the first minute of the first episode.
It's a mixture of Star Vs The Forces of Evil and Gravity Falls and Amphibia.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I personally thought Owl House was really bland and boring, so I ended up dropping it. it's milquetoast as heck compared to basically most of Disney's output and I don't enjoy that
apparently I may be in the minority though judging by social media hype
