  • I have this old PC I made back in 2014. It’s an AMD build can’t remember the processor, I use it as a multimedia pc hooked up to myain tv in the living room for watching movies shows and streaming, so the specs are low.

    I recently updated to a AMD 5500 because the hardware was loosing support so it was time a for a whole new platform. I used the old case and video card from the 2014 build.

    When I put the old video card into the new 5500 build I had a really hard time getting drivers for it for Linux Mint and I couldn’t figure out why.

    It took me a while but that card I swapped over was a freaking Nvidia 8400 from like 2007. That card worked for 18 mfing years!

    Then it dawned on me. When I build that computer in 2014 I put that 8400 in there as a place holder until I would have gotten a more up to date card… I just forgot and it’s been working diligently since then… I mean wow.


  • I’d say that technologically millennials really have it best over everyone else.

    Us millennials had to figure out the technology as it evolved into what it is today we know how bad it really was before it got really good.

    I remember back in high school around 2002 we got cable internet for the first time we had all of three megabytes download. That was tremendously fast.

    Movies were in divx format and could be dled from peer to peer networks. Morpheus, zazaa, Ares.

    Dang those were the days.
