As a Cummins owner, it makes me smile to know the CP3 has earned its reputation in other circles.

I once drove to the next city 60 miles away at 55 mph, because that’s as much fuel as the CP3 could force past my failed low pressure fuel pump. If I had a CP4 I would have been stuck at the side of the road with a big problem instead.

I can’t argue with that

Aren’t we on morphe now?

I would just feel like such a piece of shit scalping though.

I built a PC for work (I’m going to take it with me when I leave) and I bought used adata ram (2x32gb) with a lifetime warranty on it. I immediately needed to send one of the sticks for warranty. I bought the initial set of ram in May, and yesterday I paid roughly the same for a used set of 2x16gb. The price of the 32gb sticks is prohibitively expensive now. I’m betting the price only goes up, just wish I would be at 128gb rather than 96gb.

Naw, clearly the 7th time it will work! No further investigation required!

I mean, both times in two years ive bought storage/ram the prices have increased afterwards. So depends on how much you need it/can wait.

How not? Is the full KDE desktop mode not enough?

Exactly that.

Because they want to push power users away with hundreds of tiny cuts

I would be stoked, depending on the source. But with that I could take a noticeable chunk out of debt/buy a good pair of boots/use as a down payment on something.

But 20 a month would not make a noticeable difference, even if the end result would be the same. I can’t do anything with 20 dollars a month that I cannot do now.

Which as always is a fair answer. I do get feelings of joy remembering asking my parents for something and them actually saying yes for like a book/video game/flash drive. Hell, I remember being excited exactly that way getting an 8gb flash drive so I could finally burn dvd’s to something other than physical DVD’s.

Hope your kid gets that too!

Yeah, but it would make a marginal if almost unnoticeable dent in any bills I’m actually stressed/worried by.

I might not just know “ThE vAlUe Of A dOlLaR!!¡” but 20 dollars would make no difference a month.

It took me a bit to figure out, but winapps might work for you. A couple of applications I use at work require me to have a windows VM, which is still way less of a headache than straight windows.

Did you say “update and shutdown while also rebooting?”

Coming back to my PC and it being on when I expect it off, along with the notification that I hadn’t used notifications in a while, is what pushed me over the edge to running linux for everything.

Fact. It’s amazing that it exists, but it is definitely not a daily driver device. At least for me.

Profit ≠ success

Edit: to clarify, even if profitable it will still be a failure of society in some way/shape/form.

Lmao, I can’t imagine why they have the “thinking” ai’s now.
