1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yeah its usually the ram i runout of. I got a nice quad core i7 laptop with 16gb of ram and its been...wonderful.

 

Voodoo.

I approve

But I'm still on the clock, so I think I'll just have 1 or 2.

 

yep, sounds about right. i9 16GB of ram and I have the same problem

the new opera is supposed to let you set a memory limit but I haven't checked it out

 

quitter talk

 

until I'm off the wagon, I mean clock.

 

I see rust has come up on the "nearly dead" site that allows political discussions.

 

Mods here are tossing out 60 days now for politics and especially politically driven covid posts.

 

Had 172k in July of 2017

 

I didn't know you knew my brother in law

 

What have we unleashed.

 

Opera....the browser? it's been while since I used that. Firefox is the daily driver here

 

good choice

 

Only 16gb? What is this the 90s?...


This is a laptop BTW

 

My actual corporate assigned laptop is made entirely of sadness. The AMD A10-8700B is a sad little processor that makes the old i7 in my x220 look like a speed monster.

Opening it up to do timesheets gives me whiplash.

 

Ouch, yeah those APUs are poop. I'm pleased with this nugget. It's one I'm going to give to my Dad because his tower died last week. My personal laptop is arguably worse than this one but it has a GTX1060 6gb edition and 16gb of RAM so it really isn't crazy far behind. This monster is a desktop replacement that I'm banking on him liking because he can take his work to the couch and on vacation (which he is doing more frequently now).

 

Ha ha
2 year plan to clean and paint the frame.
That leaves 6 months
Better hurry up Jay

 

I think the 90's computers just barely got 1-2 gigs

 

They barely got above 128mb

 

Yeah I think I got my first gig of ram in 2005 or 2006

 

Nice. powerful in small package is really nice. that quad core i7 I have for work is one of those hp spectre x360s. Super thin and light, folds into tablet, and a fantastic screen



Pity it's just plugged into a usbc dock driving a couple of mediocre monitors.
