More shit hitting the fan. Guess those talks with Israel didn't go so well??

Biden has been trying to sell our strategic reserves, and apparently the military seized the reserves in Louisiana and Texas and placed them under direct military occupation after a firefight. They informed him they belonged to the military. They also told Biden they don't recognize the legitimacy of his office, and they will not send troops to Europe as the lying MSM crows about.

Hunter worrying his 'burnt offerings' will be discovered? Russian soldiers have found shackled children in tunnels in Ukraine?

The sad, sadistic, depraved pleasures of the Satanic Globalists in humiliating and subverting our society with perversion and corruption may wind up being their suicide song.

She blamed it on her dyslexia. Russia was kicked out of NATO years ago by Hitler.

Ceffer says

Haha - stickers?

That ThinkPad looks like it's 15 years old also.

And of course NATO is fucking around in Ukraine, but this as "proof"? They could do better than some really old equipment with stickers on it. Some encrypted files that have been cracked, and following the chain of command would be believable.

There's a strong argument for older hardware and OS compared to your basic Consumer and Business models. I don't think the company I worked at for 6 years, had a laptop last more than a year. Every Microsoft Laptop they bought, was dead in 6 months. They built a laptop for me with my development environment on it, so I can remote in and do support.
They bought it and set it up in December 2020, it just died last week. Overheats and shuts down.

Plus people would be less incline to steal an older laptop. Unless you put enticing stickers on giving it a desirable provenance. Like NATO stickers.

Well, I'd agree there is little to no reason to get a new computer unless your current one failed.

I love that so many people get laptops today and only business seems to buy desktops. As a result, desktop hardware is phenomenal - basically server grade. I have (I think) a 7 year old machine that I build myself. 32GB of memory, 1.9 Ghz I7, with 8 cores and 6TB hard disk hanging off from it. I run at least 2 virtual machines off it at all times, and it's a fully functioning server from my point of view.

This machine cost under $1,000. In 3 years, I might upgrade it. SATA channels are starting to go bad on it - I've put probably 100 TB of data through this.

And I coulda swore you were more of a Raspberry Pi fan.....

I am! It's entirely usable as a desktop. I suppose when I finally have to replace this beast, I might just go with whatever current PI they have then. They are amazing little devices.

This case, I totally recommend:

The entire case is a heat sink. Just TRY to over-heat it. It's impossible. For a test, I got the entire original star trek series, and transcoded it with ffmpeg to mp4 - it took a full week to do, but it handled it like a champ. On a Pi3 you can handle 720P but not 1080p - too much memory is required. I imagine it would work on a Pi4 though.
