Great, now.i have to get a VPN to appear in Germany so that I can use the Firefox VPN

Toner is cheaper if you have a laser black only, lots of pages per refill.

At work I’ve installed 10 color inkjet epson L6460 printers 2-3 years ago and most of them I still haven’t refilled.

They come with 2 bottles of black ink and one of everything else, last forever, will print after 4 months unused if you do a print head cleaning (a few times in a row) and the Epson brand bottles are 8 - 12 bucks each.

For home use a cheaper Ecotank would probably serve you just as well.

You are now on a list.

I assume that’s the same way people felt like in 1980, when IBM released the world’s first >1GB hard drive.

It was as big as a fridge and cost $100k in today’s money to buy, for a whopping 2.5GB of storage.

My astrophotography projects are several GB each, my phone can shoot 4k RAW video that eats up 6GB a minute and it’s all hobby-level.

I wouldn’t mind if those 44TB drives became more affordable in a few years, I’m already saving up for a 24TB NAS.

I’ve been happily sitting on my R5 2600x for so many years now lol. My MB is an MSI B450 Pro Carbon and it can easily handle a 5950x or 5800x3D or whatever.

Add another 2x8 gb ddr4 for 32GB total and I’ll be seeing some insane performance relative to what I’m already happy with, which will last me another 5 years easily unless the mobo dies.

It’s really insane how well designed AM4 is.

Ah, AM4.

At 10 years old, it’s still the platform that keeps on giving.

Definitely. I’d also check to buy used if the price is right.

If you’re into fun technology stuff, a raspberry pi can be a million different things for you.

I believe he meant “people use their browser like they use an appliance” as in they don’t know any details about it, just open it and use it as is.
