Computer parts aren't depreciating as fast as they used to. I'm seeing people online making new builds with CPUs that came out 5 years ago.

I have been having a hard time adjusting from upgrading so frequently.

I keep wanting to buy a 2.5Gb ethernet switch, just I have to wait till I have two 2.5Gb devices.

It's completely irrational cause I rarely transfer files between computers.

Went to an Aldi's opening. Honestly left disappointed. The prices weren't any better than the other stores in the area.

I know I'm getting old when I'm excited an Aldi's is opening closer to me.

Just finished watching M3GAN 2.0. They weaved a lot into the movie and payed homage to a lot movies and cultural events.

I'm a fan of the genre and tropes, so it might be my favorite movie I have watched this year.

I appreciate all my long term friends that we can go radio silence for months yet still somehow be there for each other.

Intel's 386 processor (1985) was critical to the success of Intel. With 285,000 transistors, it was too much for Intel's design process and the schedule started slipping. Intel pivoted to "standard cells", an automated technique for chip layout to get back on track. Let's look closer...

I'm so happy I have 4 systems with 32GB of RAM or more right now. Bit sad that I will be putting off a new AM5 system indefinitely.

I went outside to clean some leaves off my car and then I get inside and feel something on fall on my back. I grab it and realize it's a grasshopper and instinctively throw it away...

...then I realized I was inside. Oops

One thing I like about older PCs is I'm actually more productive on them. Like "Can't play the latest game on this...might as well program..."

My can of soup has so much sodium I have to plan the rest of my day's meals around it.

I remember throwing up a lot as a kid, but as an adult I don't remember the last time I have from being sick.
