"Mistakenly"

read as: "Illegals are bad except the ones that work for me."

Using the word "irregardless" disqualifies you from any job, anyway. So shouldn't really matter to you.

Remember the halcyon days when this would have automatically been assumed to be an Onion article? I remember...

Is this satire?

Seriously, if I was new to Linux, coming from Windows, asking for a cheat sheet or Linux for dummies manual, everything you wrote would sound like absolute gibberish to me.

If this was someone's response to me when asking for advice I'd immediately reinstall windows where at least (from the perspective of a typical end user) they speak words that make sense.

I see no legitimate reason to let ANY AI have full access to my computer. It's just unnecessary.

If I need to ask an AI to proofread something, or I need help sorting through a programming error. I'll go to its website and ask it.

There is no reason (for me) to let it sit there chilling on my computer 24-7 doing good knows what.

The final "Gate" so to speak, will end up being your motherboard.

At a certain point, your motherboard just won't support a newer part and you'll have upgraded all the existing parts as far as they can go.

My current rig that I'm still perfectly content with is just under ten years old. I've upgraded the Ram to as much as the motherboard will allow. I've upgraded the Video Card two or three times in that span, where it's now running a 3060. While I still see a huge improvement with that, there's no doubt that the video card is being throttled somewhat by the motherboard throughput limitations, but for I don't mind. I've added extra cooling fans, replaced the drives with SSD and use the old metal spinners for extra storage.

It still runs plenty fast enough to do Blender (nothing complex, just airplane modelling and animation for xplane), video editing with DaVinci Resolve (as long as I use proxy clips and take it a little easy on the motion graphics), and most newer games (though of course not at ultra settings).

The last bottleneck that I'll simply never be able to pass is the fact that the CPU socket will never support an octocore processor or higher. I can upgrade as much as I want, but it will never not be a quad-core.

For now that's fine. But that's the hard limit that I've given myself. Your mileage may vary.

I'm positive he just missed the /s tag.

That's an awful lot of space for someone to set up a foster home for at risk LGBTQ+ teens who have been shunned by their families.

Everything about Kirk's death is performative and self-serving. Even from his widow. And I hate saying that, but it's true.

All the way back to the first so-called "memorial" whose poster included 3-people, (Vance, Trump, and Kirk's widow) and literally no photo of Kirk himself...on a poster for HIS goddamn memorial. We all know that turned into nothing more than a MAGA rally, and from there nothing has changed.

Well yes, obviously. But the Trump cult has reached a level of disingenuousness that is truly mind-boggling.
