Those specs suck.
They’d have been alright in 2009.
But ATI drivers suck, especially on Linux. Everyone knows that you need nVidia if you want to game on Linux!
I’m going to take a shot in the dark and say the toned one wouldn’t know the difference
How is that outdated machine the correct response? My brother in Christ, you need to upgrade that rig out of 2004.
I would understand if he ran away. Not because you’re a nerd, but because of the wooden computer
Which 4th May is this from? Because if it’s from 2007 then that’s a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it’s from last month then I really hope he’s only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.
ATI graphics sucked ass on Linux. Back then nVidia was recommended due to their superior drivers.
Well, the x1950 Pro is from Oct 2006 but Grindr didn’t launch until March 2009. And I don’t know if it launched with the iconic colours but I don’t remember any other colours and I do remember using Grindr in 2010. Not sure about 2009.
Edit: nice dick tho
You remember using Grindr? Hah, gay
Good thing that was the giveaway, and not the “nice dick” edit, because I’d like to point out that it’s perfectly normal to compliment an acquaintance’s dick or give it a suck.
If you don’t give the dick a little suck, how can you really know how nice it is?
I mean it’s from at least roughly back when ATi was a thing
That’s actually kind of sad.
I remember doing a ton of stuff on my core 2 Duo iMac with 2gb ram.
Sure, you won’t be playing cyberpunk, but it ran all the creative suite apps, a few games, and I did a ton of image editing, made movies, and did programming on it.
Or he’s just saying he’s an older gentleman
A gentleman using a Core 2 Duo rig from a more civilised age.
5400 RPM spinning rust? Walk away.
This exchange is older than grindr
4GB ram? this guy is lemon party material.
Those are like espresso machine specs nowadays
Could be a perfectly good FreeBSD box!
Plus the required network connection and AI.
5 inches thick? It’s a chunky clam chowder can, yikes
Unless it’s circumference, otherwise it should be advertised as a 5.25inch floppy
If it’s 5.25 inches when floppy, how big is it when the drive is hard?
I hear it gets to 10.5" right before he faints from the sudden drop in blood pressure.
It is circumference. And thickness >>> length.
Thank you, this detail had me scratching my head. D≈1.56" makes so much more sense.
Not knowing the difference between circumference and thickness? Instant turn off.
The rule is that you would report the bigger number. It’s dick sizes - there’s hundreds of contrived ways to brag.
110 mils
needle dick then
Intel Core 2 Duo? 4 GB DDR3 RAM?
Cretaceous period intensifies
This is just being poor
That was my home server specs til February. Upgraded to a third gen i5 and 8gb ram
I don’t know what you guys are talking about?
I’ve used an old laptop with Windows 11 (just because I wasn’t supposed to) which had Core 2 Duo T7500 (upgraded from T7100), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, but with an SSD rather than HDD. Pretty usable with that thing.Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.
5400RPM?!
Ghosted.
It’s energy efficient and quiet 🥺 it’s romantic because it takes longer 🥺
I wouldn’t have gotten that far. That utter savage can’t even tell the difference between MT/s and MB/s.
The PC… 🤏
In its hay day I would have killed for that.
P.S. my auto-correct wants me to say “have gotten killed for that”. Yet again, I’m the victim.
Yea I hate when I got killed for something and then right a message about it.
You completely forgot to mention it runs Arch
That is implied.
The Arch is slightly to the left.
…what year is this???
Seagate never made a 512GB HDD at least that I can find.
Look, we all exaggerate a lil’ bit on dating apps.
Now, now, I’m sure the first guy was “enhancing” his own specs a little bit, too. We all do it.
That said, there are some arguably similar drives listed at 500 GB capacity on ebay. But it’s not the size of the disk, it’s the gesticulation of the allocation.
I have several 500gb hdd’s. I’ve never seen one labled 512 gb. Only micro sd cards and SSD’s. If they did exist, I’d suspect they were either IDE or SAS.
Im almost positive they did, i had one in my core 2 quadro machine iirc, but it was 7200rpm not 5400.
I’ve never seen a 512gb hdd. It’s such a weird number. I’ve seen 512gb micro SD cards.
How is it a weird number? Its 2**9
HDDs have generally been dec round numbers rather than binary
Maybe but its still not a weird number in this context :p
I feel like for HDDs it is. In general it is not. The even weirder thing is that HDD sizes are expressed in decimal gigabytes to inflate the numbers. A 500 GB drive will show as around 480 in some operating systems.
Are you telling me this post is fake?
~5 inches thick means the circumference, I assume? Because a ~12cm diameter sounds rather uncomfortable.
bro just shoved the tape into his pants and accidentally measured his thigh
Seems like a pretty normal girth to me?
Intel
Okay off to a bad start.
Core 2 Duo
Ok boomer.
