My parents are using a 3rd gen i7 and it works fine. My brother has a few computers, one is a 2nd gen intel, but I think he put Linux on that one. My home server was running on my 4th gen i7 until I upgraded it to my second gen Ryzen earlier this year after I upgraded my gaming.

I’m using Zoho. It’s pretty cheap and wasn’t hard to set up with my domain.

There’s a setting Teams, under “Files and Links” where you can change it from Edge to Default Browser. Scummy that it works that way, but you can work around it at least (for now anyway).

I do, mostly because it gives a different menu if you click that vs the start menu (it shows recently open programs). If I’m searching I generally just hit the windows key and type, but if I’m slouched and reaching for the mouse only it can be helpful. It’s not like it takes up a lot of space, I’ve got an ultrawide at work and dual 2560x1440 monitors at home.

That’s a 4770k, so the CPU is from ~2014, so the motherboard is probably similar vintage.

Same! I went from a 2700x to the 7800x3d. I’ll probably upgrade in 4-7 years depending on my financial situation and the specs for new hardware.

Framework is amazing (I have a 7840u 13in) but they’re expensive. 100% worth it to me as an enthusiast and IT professional but possibly not for someone less interested in the tech itself.

32 isn’t that cold, even if it’s snowing. I do currently live in Minnesota though, so my sense of temperature is much different than someone from somewhere warm.

I’m burnt out and don’t want to do fun stuff anyway after 8, why not do 12 and have entire extra days of not burning myself out. I miss my 12 hour 3x weekly nights schedule, I’d go back to it in a heartbeat.

That’s because they are. Those are the people who are most likely to fall for phishing.

You actually need Zen+, the 1000 series Zen CPUs aren’t compatible but the 2000+ series are!

They still exist! Most of them are designed to be extra durable too, perfect for kids.

They could they just include a DP to HDMI adapter in the box and have no HDMI ports on the GPU maybe?

Many cameras only save recordings based off of motion triggers, so 64 gb goes a long way if most of the time there’s no movement.

I play consistently with a group of friends, and I like the game. I don’t think using Windows counts as dedicating my life to it.

I wish Riot would make it so you can play Valorant on Linux, I’d switch off windows permanently right away.

There’s one in Minneapolis too!
