Between basic storage being so much larger than it used to be (the 4-8GB days were brutal) and USB-C flash drives that can plug into your charging port, I seldom miss them these days
Still sucks that they removed them as an option though
I see it as a good thing. I don’t really want my server full of kids or talked about in the media, and would likely question the motivations of anyone who did
I think beehaw is the only major group that actually defederated us, but that was before the drama
I get your concern, I was extremely worried my first time. It’s a lot easier than you might expect though
Still, it’s your money and your comfort. If it’s worth the extra money for a pre-built to save you peace of mind, by all means do as you will
After building a PC for the first time a few years ago, I’ll never buy a pre-built desktop again (low or high end)
The amount of corners they cut and terrible design decisions they make just so you can’t reuse the parts elsewhere are not only criminal from a consumer perspective, but an environmental one as well
Wow that sucks. Pcpartpicker has 3060 ti’s ~$370 now
This is a perfect representation of what the people I was talking about would say
To go further off topic, LGBT+ folks have my full support but can y’all please stop adding to the acronym?
I thought the ‘q’ was supposed to be an umbrella for everyone else, then there was a plus that’s definitely for that purpose, yet somehow more letters still seem to get added every few years
The next time a boomer co-worker comes up and passive-aggressively asks me, “what’s this new letter I just found,” with a grin like this exposes how dumb the whole community really is, I swear I’m going to throw them out a window
I don’t want to go to prison, please stop adding letters so they will stop talking to me
I think you may be trivializing a pretty complex subject a bit too much
There is a major difference between our coloqual addictions (sugar, caffeine, our phones) and a substance use disorder. It’s worth talking about where on that spectrum marijuana lies
For my part, I suspect that marijuana is much closer to the former than the latter.
I’ve worked with a lot of people in recovery over the years, and while some ex-stoners will tell you how hard it was for them to quit, anyone with a real habit will tell you quitting weed isn’t anywhere near the same level as opiates, benzos, amphetamines, alcohol, or even nicotine
