  • Can confirm, I recently maxed out the RAM on my decade-old rig at 32GB. At least the used DDR3 RAM was cheap. With motherboards that old you are limited to processors like Intel Haswell with 4 cores, pretty anemic by today’s standards.

    It works just fine for me running Linux and doing minimal gaming. 90% of my gaming these days is on the SteamDeck anyway.

    I thought as I got older I would have more money to buy current gen PC parts and build basically whatever I wanted. Turns out priorities just shifted and things got even more expensive.


  • Pants-on-head idiocy by the DA.

    It is 100% legal in the US to build your own gun for personal use, and has been for the entire existence of the country.

    Just because it can now be done with custom plastic parts instead of wooden or hardware store parts, changes nothing.

    Plus there is no way to validate when 3D printed guns were created, because they aren’t required to be serialized unless they are made by a dealer for resale. So they’d have to ban ALL pre-existing 3D printed guns of any kind, regardless of manufacture date, since you’re not going to be able to distinguish preban guns.

    Putting spyware into every 3D printer or slicer software, because of what people “might do”, is also ridiculous and scummy.

    TL; DR- This DA needs to fuck off and just use normal constitutional methods to enforce laws.
