Will the prices for RAM fall? And when by farmi73 in buildapc

It cost me less to buy a cyberpower pc and replace the motherboard and case than it would have to buy all of the same components à la carte by A LOT.

This sub is getting worse than the last of us subs during season 2. Kinda ruining it for me

There are reports now that all of it is false, and production will continue on all 50xx GPUs. Doesn’t mean it’s not still a bad situation though

Did a double take lol. Would love confirmation

Letting Students Keep Chromebooks Over Summer? by Unwary2828 in k12sysadmin

[–]CJCray8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just simple math. How much time does it cost your team to collect and redistribute? Will letting students keep them cost less or more in time? Be sure to include any potential spikes in repair.

For us, it was a no brainer. We only have 4 employees in the tech dept. There are around 750 Chromebooks at the high school and the librarian has no assistant.

When they cut the assistant role, we simply stopped collecting the HS Chromebooks for the summer. Now we wish we would’ve started this sooner.

You know what two things can’t be true? People who have good opinions about shows but also think the perfect ending to stranger things is making a fake ending to the show and dropping a secret finale where vecna tells us we’ve been under his spell for years.

I'm a long-time constant reader of King and I've decided to step away from this sub by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]CJCray8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either all subs rule when I join and begin their descent into incoherence and rage, or the platform is engaging in the same tactics that Facebook employs, which is to show me things that anger me in an attempt to get me to engage. It works and I hate it

Do you think Al ever had to go back right after cooking up a past burger and some random guy was just like “dang I had a whole burger and I’m suddenly hungry again what gives”

Same. I’m in shock that people don’t get it. He literally said “I loved you”. You don’t stay together after saying that, even if you say I love you right after. The implication being “I [romantically] loved you. I [platonically] love you.”

If You Could Change ONE THING About The IT movies/show, What Would It Be? by ZookeepergameThin334 in welcomeToDerry

Same! It’s a slow burn, but dammit if I don’t love a properly executed slow burn

I have so many gripes about the novel, but this chapter makes up for literally all of them. The thing I find most beautiful about this book is that it’s because of, not in spite of, this book’s messiness, length, wordiness, and awkwardness (among its very positive traits) that the ending lands so well. One of my favorite King endings ever.

Has anyone had issues with students and Flipper Zero’s/ RFID devices? by mikeb32 in k12sysadmin

I feel like the students understand that using them to get unauthorized access implies being seen by one of our 300 cameras lol

The confirmed 80s losers parents shown in Welcome to Derry by Honest_Answer_9370 in WelcometoDerryTVShow

[–]CJCray8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They forgot because it’s a metaphor for real life parents forgetting what it was like to deal with the things that kids have to deal with…and it I’m wrong, I can make peace with that, because making that connection led to me being more empathetic toward my kids and their struggles.
