Are you using Firefox?

Let's turn it into a Lemmy server.

Go on eBay, punch in the price you're looking to spend and search for an old server. Keep in mind some manufacturers use proprietary connectors.

Look for servers with lots of ECC ram, clean photos of the internals.

They probably won't have a drive that's pretty common.

To meet that 16 core requirement, you'll probably be looking at older dual socket systems.

Edit: a quick search I found this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225978893065?

Not a perfect match but the price is pretty good.

That fine is a zero short, should see a reimbursement to each affected customer on the scale of 10k/person.

Yeah I got burned badly by saints row 5. I figured it couldn't be any worse than 4. I was so wrong.

I have a bone to pick with Lenovo, the backlight doesn't work out of the box for my laptop in many Linux distributions because as far as I can tell they don't honour the acpi calls to adjust it.

I have to do a whacky work around where I need the proprietary Nvidia driver to control it.

How was your experience with other gear? Was it always a similar problem between different components?

I'd like to see the same for 5 and dos4gw. Could potentially help with maintaining legacy stuff.

It could be helpful for dosbox devs.

Yeah that's kinda what I figured. Thanks

I had a buddy with lots of VR problems, later we found out that his room is covered in mirrors. What a surprise
