I spent about a year arguing with C-levels that our fleet running 8GB was slowing down productivity, with evidence to prove it. It was like pulling teeth to procure some SODIMMs.
I’d still say this article is coming at things from the wrong perspective. That $700 Walmart M1 MBA is more than adequate for most kids doing school work, and/or grandparents farting around on FB. If you have a family and had to grab a few identical laptops, and you aren’t able/willing to be tech support, it really makes a lot of sense financially.
I ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 so I have a Pi 3 that’s about to be redundant. I haven’t used Pi-Hole so I was thinking it’d be good for that but I’m curious if there’s any downsides for users. Are sites blocked if you dont whitelist them? That sort of thing....
I’ve been using various forms of adblock for many years. If a website refuses to show you the information it contains: the information it has is probably toxic garbage.
I’ve lived by “if it doesn’t load, I doesn’t need it” for over a decade and I’ve never encountered a problem I couldn’t easily solve better without the troublesome webpage.
I usually make doubles, but often split them to make a milk drink for my partner and have a single for myself. For some reason, those split singles tend to taste better. Same weight in, same time, same yield, just half the coffee....
You’ve been out of the loop for a while, but you picked some good specs to start. I have some general thoughts below:
Cooler- don’t forget some of the new ultra competitive HSF options from competitors around the $50 price point. Check out Gamersnexus and some of their recent cooler reviews for alternatives. The space has gotten extremely competitive.
Motherboard- you want B650. B660 is intel’s socket.
CPU- So AM5 is going to be a fairly long-lived platform. You may want to consider the 7600 as an alternative, as by the time you’ll want to upgrade your (4060-tier) GPU you’d probably overshoot a 7800X3D anyway. AM5 is likely going to last long enough that a theoretical 9800X3D will blow both the 7600 and 7800X3D out of the water.
GPU- if you’re shooting for value and are wanting to have a build you can upgrade into, nothing beats the 6700XT/6750XT right now. Just search both those in PCPartPicker and sort price>low-high. Grab the cheapest one.
The best retro gaming console is the one you already own. Any old hand-me-down or thrift office PC can handle the majority of retro titles, as can most consoles with custom firmware.
If you already own anything from the DS-3DS-PSP-Vita lineups you should be looking into making the most of the hardware you already own.
That being said, my partner is very happy with their Deck, and I’m pretty pleased with my RG351V running ArkOS. I’ve also been very happy with running my RP3B+ with Retropie.
But to be very honest, I don’t do a damn thing that my gaming PC two builds ago, and my PSP1000 I’ve had since high school wouldn’t be able to handle with flying colors.
