[15:12:41] blitzed !COFFEE TGIF y'all

[15:13:15] blitzed oh yeah Good Friday eh

[15:14:37] blitzed *LOL*

[15:15:07] blitzed Alexa was an accomplice tho riiiiiiight?!?

[15:16:21] blitzed I'm a dinosaur, I mostly use Wico Bat Joysticks on my Commodore 64/128 & Commodore Amiga 4000 machines *LOL* Ancient!

[15:17:01] blitzed All my gaming is at 1mHz to 40mHz tops *LOL*

[15:17:34] blitzed I don't care about PC gaming since mid 2000's

[15:18:00] blitzed yeah all my PC tech now is Dell or Lenovo, haven't bothered building machines anymore

[15:18:44] blitzed I snipe used USFF machines off eBay, mostly Lenovo ThinkCentre 720q's

[15:19:09] blitzed yup ThinkPad woooo

[15:19:22] blitzed at some point I may try a ThinkStation

[15:20:17] blitzed \g/rizon at some point I may redeploy one of my 720q's as a router/firewall

[15:21:28] blitzed all my 720q's are set for low acoustic, can't even hear the fans unless I put my ears up to 'em

[15:23:15] blitzed \g/rizon does your ThinkCentre have one of the full blown desktop CPU's and mesh top for cooling? insteada the throttled down T model CPU?

[15:38:08] blitzed One thing that sucks about the Lenovo ThinkCentre stuff tho, can't simply update BIOS within BIOS...

[15:39:00] blitzed muh dependencies? outdated libs n junk?

[15:39:57] blitzed having to jump thru hoops to do BIOS updates on machines that don't cuck to Windows empire wah wah wah

[15:41:25] blitzed well that is they problem they do cuck to Windows, so gotta bootup ISO or thumbdrive img to flash BIOS pfffft

[15:42:07] blitzed that is another nuisance about PC's...for 3 decades they used the same familiar BIOS stuff

[15:42:52] blitzed but then now it is sometimes wildwest, work on a gaming PC, the BIOS is like a video game with funky graphics & mouse GUI

[15:43:03] blitzed and have to poke around to find the needed submenus

[15:43:32] blitzed unlike before fingers just cursor thru the old BIOS menus effortlessly

[15:44:19] blitzed \g/rizon, yes why remove the flash BIOS from within BIOS feature? *LMAO* it is safe cuz admins can password protect the BIOS duh

[15:45:13] blitzed Microsoft colludes with manufacturers to give Linux/BSD communities the stink eye *LOL*

[15:45:37] blitzed I might try a Dell USFF at some point

[15:46:09] blitzed one reason I've not tried, is because most of the used models I've watched on eBay are Display Ports only

[15:46:34] blitzed I've seen some which are HDMI

[15:46:42] blitzed and not brand spanking new

[15:47:00] blitzed but yeah the Lenovo machines offer the trifecta of video inputs
