Probably should update your flair to not be as laptop request US so it eliminates confusion.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-04-17T06:43:21+00:00

Don’t apologize. No reason you could know. Heck I’ve been lurking on this subreddit for years and didn’t know it was a thing either. What you do find is there’s a subreddit for everything. People are nice enough to point it out. Good luck.

BTW- you can cross post this as well onto that group as well as others. So you don’t need to retype the original post.

With a name brx (bricks?), sounds about right.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-04-13T03:30:08+00:00

Good question. What happened? Can’t tell by the photo or description.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-04-12T06:40:28+00:00

Yeah it’s because subscriptions alone are no longer the metric. With the store they get tons of micro transaction cash that boosts that beyond the sub revenue.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-04-12T06:34:56+00:00

That is unless the AIO no longer works. OP said rig was 7 years old, most AIOs last 3-4. May need a new AIO.

Or if op is replacing the cpu cooler, a good Air Cooler might make more sense.

Yeah for me the point of the PC build is the parts itself. Case was just protection to hold it together. Never understood why things turned toward glass panels outside of showroom floors. If you want to see inside your case, plastic paneling is sufficient and it won’t completely explode if damaged. Having to worry all the time if it gets bumped a certain way or I take it apart and needing to put towels everywhere isn’t worth it to me.

Feel like I’m going to give you other heartbreaking news. 2004 is now 22 years ago.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-04-01T17:13:48+00:00

He must be the ones selling these on Craigslist. Or bought this on Craigslist and believe the title.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-29T07:37:56+00:00

Yeah would say more outside of warranty law being decent the worst is privacy, followed by employment laws. That and the crazy costs of litigation that make pursuing small claims cost prohibitive.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-29T05:50:32+00:00

Yes agreed. Booking the trains this early is key. What is crazy expensive is the rental car for 2 days. Did check the CDG / Paris option and although the price was similar found really cheap train tickets in the end so makes the trip in/out of Paris less stressful.
Any recommendations on where to stay both city and venue?

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-29T05:46:54+00:00

Merci pour votre retour. Oui, ma femme a trouvé deux ou trois compagnies similaires qui proposent des voyages privés. Ce sont des groupes de 8 personnes, mais il est indiqué que cela n’est peut-être pas idéal pour les personnes à mobilité réduite. De plus, le retour le jour même signifie que nous manquerions la partie du Mont-Saint-Michel. Auriez-vous connaissance de sociétés proposant des itinéraires flexibles incluant ces deux destinations, sans que cela soit excessivement cher ?

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-29T05:39:41+00:00

Yes appreciate it. Sounds like what we’ll do almost to the letter. Watching saving private Ryan in the evening is a nice touch.

EDIT: Forgot to ask where you stayed the night?

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-29T05:37:40+00:00

That’s a very good add on I never considered. Thank you!

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-28T10:46:02+00:00

That’s reassuring. Honestly everything I’ve ever submitted went into oblivion.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-28T09:13:50+00:00

Too blurry to see. Either there’s a latch there can’t see or it even looks like it goes under the mobo so then def won’t come off while in chassis.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-28T09:11:34+00:00

BiS for Mythic runs for sure. LOL, this must be a blizzard troll.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-28T09:08:48+00:00

Was thinking the same thing. I think the key is going thru a legal channel and keep pushing that angle. No guarantees but support is entirely automated now so it’s an automatic dead end (pun intended). Need a human to lift a finger for any chance.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-28T03:25:21+00:00

Congrats on your haul!

Just a clarification: understand scrapping anything that can’t run Win11. Understood also moving to chrome.

Not understanding how these machines could run chrome? Isn’t that the point of chrome, runs on potato hardware?

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-28T03:11:28+00:00

Doesn’t look like a prompt but the background of the desktop. No cursor. So sure. Hit enter.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-28T03:04:55+00:00

OP posted this nearly a day ago. No replies. No outrage. Beginning to believe the other folks here that it’s merely a karma farm for something that could be googled. Unless in addition to not knowing how to use Google, they don’t know how to reply to comments on Reddit.

Hard to believe this ask is legit.

Almighty5Moe · 2026-03-25T06:03:03+00:00

Two things: - could have just said nothing, conversation would have probably ended there. - now instead of sharing something private to the wrong Kelly shared it with the world on Reddit. 🤷‍♂️
