That sounds like a huge cost, though less money is used to abstract it.

I doubt that owning horses has ever been cheap either.

I’d get a new drive. Install a sane os and needed tools and use that. They should be cheap these days. Put the old one in a safe place in case you need something from it. When you find it years on and notice that there was nothing important there after all, recycle it. That’s a much safer approach.

I still don’t. But I’m hoping that avoiding anything by Amazon helps.

That’s interesting, thanks. Can I ask what that vram is getting used for? Gaming, llms, other computing?

Intel has been a mistake since 1978. But evil doesn’t generally die.

They do. And you can generally trust banks to try and sell you what’s most profitable to them.

same watts and volts but more amps

Laws of physics: defeated.

You won’t have any of the electrical or protocol/register info or other data for any of the components unless you’re a manufacturer and most parts aren’t really salvageable separately but are essentially one big glob on the board. Even with the skills, you’d need to reverse engineer some of the most complex and hard to use components ever manufactured for consumer use and somehow fit them in places they were never meant to fit.

And yes, software. The board support for the SOC, mostly. Maybe starting off with a pinephone or something might help, but I doubt even that is open and usable enough.

Do the math. See how rational the fear is. Whatever the result, admit you’re afraid and decide if you also want to be brave and act despite the fear. Make a plan. Start working on it. Hopefully things are better on the other side, but either way that fear will pass.

Fear is a natural part of human life. Often useful, but also often not. But as long as you can manage to act despite your fear, it won’t harm you.

Ok, cortisol and stress exist, but you have bigger things to worry about.

Oh, that’s right! I forgot that exists. Would have been an obvious guess.

Surely frozen bubble has absolutely nothing to do with bubble bobble.

I think in Finland, food is rarely if at all donated from shops because it would create some opportunities for employees to effectively steal food by marking it as throw away. Same with other items. Also, expired food would be a liability hazard. Surplus or closer to the date stuff can be sold at heavy discounts, though. Unsold things finally just need to be disposed of somehow.

I guess now is a good time to go scratch behind those greying ears again.

It’s almost as if people don’t like posts with zero content besides some clickbait link.

As if anon would call those conversations normal or pleasant.

Obviously not. The users are just people, so the stats are likely to be in line with global reality.

And, are you seriously seeing support for Putin or CCP? Maybe on some instance, but most of Lemmy is bound to be sane and not trolling.

Brave is a series scam company.
