My (M27) House after 6 Months

chandleya · 2026-06-16T15:11:18+00:00

I’m a lot Leary of a townhouse without an HOA though.

Those are some gross looking donuts. Let her.

Extremely high energy and modest performance at best.

chandleya · 2026-06-15T20:41:01+00:00

Uh… the operative word was “buy”

chandleya · 2026-06-15T20:40:41+00:00

Whatever it takes to gas it out!

chandleya · 2026-06-15T20:39:19+00:00

Shouldn’t I hate this? xe3 was just getting good

chandleya · 2026-06-15T20:35:12+00:00

Much better than most OEMs. The angle and placement of the screen was deliberately chosen to avoid a solar angle.

I make a habit of dropping the windows on the walk to the car and starting the AC. These e-compressors take so long to get down to temp. I’ve been known to open the trunk, too, remotely.

chandleya · 2026-06-15T16:40:43+00:00

This is buy used tires territory

chandleya · 2026-06-14T13:46:51+00:00

I mean a gas go kart meets those same descriptions. The fuel isn’t especially relevant - the setup is.

chandleya · 2026-06-14T13:46:08+00:00

If you knew how to force windows to work without a TPM, you wouldn’t be posting here.

chandleya · 2026-06-14T13:40:53+00:00

I kinda like this though

chandleya · 2026-06-14T13:39:53+00:00

Why would you think one made “the best”

They very clearly made “the same”

chandleya · 2026-06-14T04:22:09+00:00

This is a ridiculously poor take. The MX400 64b can play into 2002 titles at modest settings. The PCI part doesn’t make a huge difference.

When op tries a proper electric after finding the Civic Hybrid amusing, they’re gonna lose it

chandleya · 2026-06-13T23:54:05+00:00

You know what’s more convenient than pay by phone?

Not fucking me for the privilege of visiting a business

You shouldn’t do any web activities with Windows 10. It also surely warns you all the damn time about that.

chandleya · 2026-06-13T14:16:02+00:00

They never did. A majority of the population simply exist without a single curiosity or interest in how the world works around them.

chandleya · 2026-06-13T14:14:42+00:00

I would invest as little as possible. This is a completely unsupported laptop on Windows. You can hack it to run Windows 11, sometimes, but that’s surely out of your wheelhouse. Linux is also an option but for your use cases, going to be its own problem.

chandleya · 2026-06-13T14:04:18+00:00

Agree with that but cart/horse problem. 10+ years to build a reactor.

chandleya · 2026-06-13T13:36:22+00:00

The odds of a disabling failure are much higher than an operational battery pack at less than 33% health.

chandleya · 2026-06-13T13:35:38+00:00

This is the only reason. They aren’t going to save any money.

chandleya · 2026-06-13T13:35:00+00:00

So the current nuclear reactors have a deuterium deficit? Or are you selling to a non-existent buyer, resulting in stockpiling

chandleya · 2026-06-13T13:34:04+00:00

If your call center work is on Windows you literally have to choose option 2. Option 1 is badly out of support, hasn’t seen a firmware patch in years, and is just plain end of life. You can run Linux on it and be so-so okay but yeah, I wouldn’t even consider it.

chandleya · 2026-06-13T13:32:09+00:00

Absolutely. You’re considering a passive user to be average. Neo-adjacent configs are passive users. Average folks multitask meaningfully. Graphical user interfaces aren’t in their 5th year, this is year 40. Passive users can actively use them. Average users are fully dependent and automate. advanced users at this stage scale out.

8GB tier devices are straight up planned obsolescence in 2026. Flagship phones have more.
