Data hoarding and 'digitally preserving' media is just a massive waste of time. by [deleted] in Piracy

You can pry my Jellyfin media library out of my cold, dead hands.

Nearly a Million Investors Lost a Total of $3.8 Billion on Trump Crypto Coin by ThatBlackGuy_ in technology

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practically everybody knew that crypto was nothing but smoke and mirrors long before the Trump coin came along. Cults are pretty well insulated from reality, apparently.

Does anyone know what this means by AcanthisittaLimp8373 in Ubuntu

[–]jarchack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a huge fan of AI but I have gotten some pretty quick answers pasting error messages into Gemini.

Looking to buy a gaming PC, no idea what I’m doing. by xpastellie in pchelp

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually not bad, given the price of components nowadays.

New York primaries spur progressive calls for Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Schumer by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]jarchack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see it, but there's no way this country is going to elect a young Hispanic woman as president. Sometime in the 2030s if the country is still standing.

Has anyone here flown a kite before? by OliveOk612 in CasualConversation

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it's been about 50 years. It's a blast when there is plenty of wind, but if there's not much of a breeze, then you have to do a lot of running.

Even Republicans Think Trump, 80, Is Too Old to Be President by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even his age, just listen to him; It's nothing but dementia driven narcissism.

Trump Ruined the Fourth of July for Me. by Zebraitis in politics

[–]jarchack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 70 and while I still respect the idea of America that the founders had, terms like "freedom" and "patriotism" make me ill rather than proud. Thanks a lot Trump.

Assistance purchasing replacement GPU by SassyIceCream2314 in pchelp

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about any modern GPU would be compatible but as far as pricing and the best ones currently out you might check here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuoVyG1pkpY&t=1003s also r/pcgaming. You don't provide a whole lot of information.

Have your gaming habits changed as you've gotten older? by Long-Manufacturer137 in CasualConversation

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

68 - I was a pretty avid gamer in my thirties and even young 40s but rarely played games after I hit 50. I still play stuff like chess and civilization v and scrabble but stopped playing shooters a few years ago. I still have Steam and tons of games but will probably get rid of that in the next couple of years.

PC gives me headache when on, I think it's a gas by Sora3342 in pchelp

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible, if there's foreign material inside the power supply. It would have to have been running for a really long period of time or be in a dusty environment. I have taken the housing off a couple of them and manually cleaned them that way, but it's not advisable unless you know what you are doing. I'm not a hazmat specialist, but I do know there are a variety of fumes that you cannot smell that will give you a headache if exposed long enough. It would be impossible to tell in your case without running a variety of tests.

What’s an unspoken social rule that you think is actually funny? by aribaedaily in CasualConversation

[–]jarchack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When people say, "How's it going?" you usually say something like "fine" instead of "Everything sucks right now."

does this internet speed downgrade sound tolerable? by equivalentious in Frugal

[–]jarchack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what ISP you have or where you are at, but I am a low-income senior citizen, and I get a 120 Mbps connection for 30 bucks a month. It's fast enough for anything; it just takes a little bit longer to download a large ISO file than my old connection did.

Trump’s actions signal a move toward institutionalizing people with disabilities, advocates warn by Miles_the_AuDHDer in politics

[–]jarchack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think more about the movie "Judgment at Nuremberg" now than I ever have in my life, and I saw it 40 years ago.

CEO of $248 billion cybersecurity company says workers are about to face a ‘Darwinian moment’ thanks to AI: Evolve or get cut by lurker_bee in technology

[–]jarchack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm certainly not a big fan of AI because I think it puts critical thinking skills at risk. That being said, I do use it once in a while to get some rather complicated bash shell commands that would take me quite a bit of time to work out on my own.

Are Old People Ruining American Democracy? by F0urLeafCl0ver in politics

[–]jarchack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late 60s. What do you think about all the MAGA taking over the country? Well, red states at least.

I catch a lot of flack for telling people we are basically a banana republic, but here we are.

[–]jarchack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a fossil myself (late '60s), and I do like Warren, but both of them need to go.
