BUT QUINN aren’t you always bitching about your old laptop
well yes but 1) i don’t want to overpay for it and the anniversary sale isn’t until october usually, and
2) all i would get is a better battery and video card which would allow me to do graphical work which i sitll haven’t earned any money from and i could do it more portably which means nothing because the global overlords are never going to stop the scare campaign about covid

@icedquinn IMO: graphics cards in laptops are overpriced and a huge pain.
@icedquinn The solution to this is to maintain a desktop for software like that and remote into it from the laptop if you need to use it from another place, but I guess that doesn't solve all the problems.

@swiley i keep having to say this but the current one doesn’t meet sufficience. The world has moved on to GL3/4 to the point where even low end games and some graphics software won’t run and even the low end cards support 3/4.
The whole arguments to using old tech are predicated on it still being good enough. the intel chip is so old it no longer is.
