I'm looking to buy a new computer, and most likely I'll get a refurbished one... I have an offer on one with a killer graphics card for around €1,000.
My current PC is still great, but it's a bit outdated, and I can't update it to Windows 11.
A friend who works as IT will give me MS licenses, and let's see if it lasts another 8 years, lol!
- "I can't update it to Windows 11." thats friggin old.
what card is in that pc for 1k?sted - since a proper "killer graphics card" goes around that price.sted
- A killer for me... RTX 5060, with 8 GB GDDR6OBBTKN
- Yeah, my main pc isn't [easily] upgradeable to Win11 either. I held on to Win7 for years after it sunsetted too though. Still, the clock's ticking.Nairn
- Got ten years out of my last Dell, bought a new one, then spent another year still using the old one as I couldn't face setting it up and installing everything.webazoot

- Hi, do you have a moment to talk about my friend and OS Linux?skinny_puppy
- As an aside, the workaround to install Win11 on 'incompatible' hardware is https://theideaplace…Nairn
- Sorry, I mean is to use 'Rufus', details and how-to in the above link.Nairn

Just spent a week in Tokyo with the fam, and a day trip to Odowara on the coast. Superb place. The sites. The food. Can't wait to go back.

Your Last Concert
The Beta Band at The Roundhouse last night (02/10/25)
They were awesome and have still got the grooves.
(not my video):
- Nice, I saw them 25 years ago in a club then 20 some years ago open up for Radiohead. Last winter I saw Steve Mason play at a church with a few dozen people.fooler
- <3
I've seen them a number of times over the last 20+ years from small venues w/bands like cibo mato to massive corpo fests like coachellaPonyBoy - I've been tempted to see them in Brooklyn soon but I'm getting too tired of standing for a whole show >> Signs You're AgingCyBrainX

AI: How are designers using it?
I've been using it to make daft podcasts on QBN at the deficit of the pile of work I should be doing.
I will watch the thread with interest...

This then may be the end of a regular check in habit at QBN. A check-in which has been very regular part of my life since ... what 2002? I don't know. I'm wary of suggesting a year because I don't actually know when QBN appeared, and I'm not sure when Newstoday became QBN.
I do quietly believe I used to look at NT/QBN back when I worked at a company called Overland, but I left Overland in 1999 so maybe that is a false memory.
Anyway, now it's just a column of nauseating purple rectangles, and any sense of anything that might be going on here is already lost.
It feels a little bit like losing one's hearing, I imagine. You can still be there in the room; still see the people interacting animatedly, but there's nothing but muffle reaching you.
And I do realise this is just a UK thing and it could be resolved with some agreements being struck about terms, conditions, definitions and rules... but that isn't going to happen. So it feels like a backwards step into a partitioned world - the opposite of the original www dream.
Like Concorde, we had supersonic flight, and we've never been that advanced since, but due to complications we had to go backwards.
Funny to think that those hairy deodorant dodging nylon slacks wearing peope of the past could travse 8000miles in less than half the time it takes us today.
Funny, also, that for a while the whole world could reach out and say hello, share ideas, debate, collaborate, form communities, societies, in pursuit of dreams...
Yet now we are red or blue, afraid or brave, capable of about 10 seconds of focus, condemned to misunderstand each other and programmed to react aggressively when we do.
The wall of purple tiles is nothing really. Just a hosting site at odds with a government, or something of that sort.
But it's another smallish porous hole opened up as the once flexible bones of global connection continue to go brittle with osteoporosis, and we all retreat from each other in fear.
Goodbye QBN.

OrbitI had a lot of fun, I upset a lot of people for a while I think, and I was frequently a pain in the arse (ass) but I was here, for a long time. I've enjoyed it silently for even longer, but now it's just purple tiles, and there is no point even lurking now.
