Even tho I've been a bit quiet I've been working hard! I also started to change some IRL habits and not only I've been feeling better lately I've also been doing a lot of progress on comms! I'll try to reach out everyone this week.

Just trying to stay positive while I wait to land something IRL.
BTW this Thursday I'll be taking a couple of comms to help out with rent.
I've realized that even if I land something IRL I'll most likely still take a couple of comms until the end of the year.
I wanted to save up for a new PC. My current rig is showing it age... x _x

If any computer genius that follows me that wants to help me out by pointing out a decent rig for me to survive this upcoming 5 - 8 years of AI hell please hit me up!

@Lewdtime Sometimes you can replace just one or two parts in your current PC and it save you both money and the trouble of starting from scratch.

If you want to start new, (I know it's not always possible but) I recommend staying away from Windows as they have become bloated and RAM-hungry.

Current RAM prices are miserable right now, but the truth is, most people don't need 32 GB, or heck even 16 GB. For Windows especially, the problem is all the bloatware.

@Huburt_Pewder hehehe I got lucky and I was able to snatch two 16gb ram sticks before the ram crisis! But yeah. I wanted a new one so that I could pass this old PC to my mother and sister.

@Lewdtime @Huburt_Pewder what are your current pc specs? You could buy worse ones for cheaper to put in there and carry over your better stuff to your new rig. Almost definitely want to do that with the ram, and if it is ddr4 that pretty much solves which mobo and cpu you're going to get so you're just left with a gpu to figure out.

Also I would advise against giving Linux to normies. Just run WinUtil and debloat. Otherwise you're going to be helping them troubleshoot stuff more often than you'd probably like.

@beardalaxy @Lewdtime @Huburt_Pewder I installed Zorin OS on my mom's computer about six years ago and she's asked for help exactly once. You need to look at a calendar and realize it's not 2001 anymore. https://zorin.com/os/
