Mine is a B350 – I’m still running the same motherboard I used 7 years ago with my old Ryzen 1700X. Considering how much depends on the CPU these days instead of the chipset, does it even really matter if the chipset is older?

You presume that bathtub isn’t filled with espresso.

I don’t know about AM5, but I’m running a 5700X3D on a motherboard that still has a PS/2 port. (Not that I’m using it, but it’s there.) You can still have a pretty modern system with PS/2 if you really want it.

I would expect that any motherboard that went to the trouble of including a PS/2 port would handle it with a real hardware interrupt, because the whole point of still having those things is to avoid the latency overhead of USB.

I use Linux

Believe it or not, straight to CECOT.

INB4 the US outlaws Free Software drivers and mandates DRM and locked firmware in all new PCs.

Have you been to the south?

If not, you’re just being a bigot yourself trying to scapegoat us to make yourself feel superior.

My hot take: good.

I’ve got my kids using Linux on Raspberry Pis, and I honestly want them to break it so that then they have to figure out how to fix it.

I mean, that’s basically how I learned to use computers (except I was using DOS)…

So what you’re saying is that somebody needs to integrate it into the Fediverse.

Sure, nobody in any other part of the country can possibly be bigots and y’all are completely innocent in all this. 👍

LOL, they got upstaged.

If you’re still sharing a single account between multiple users in 2025, that’s kinda on you TBH.

There’s no easy way to “mark video as watched” so that Youtube stops pushing that particular video in your feed but keeps recommending similar ones. (You can mark it “not interested” or “don’t recommend channel,” but those aren’t the same thing.) Even if you aren’t doing something Google would consider naughty like watching via FreeTube, NewPipe, or yt-dlp, there are legitimate cases like watching while logged-out or having a friend show you a video on their device that cause you to have seen a video without that watch getting recorded into your watch history.

TFW one or more of those tabs leaks memory, so your browser crashes every few hours even with 64GB of RAM.

And that’s a big reason I don’t own a Steam Deck.

I would be much more likely to buy one of those tiny retro emulator handhelds. (I haven’t done that either, but that’s for an entirely different reason: decision fatigue.)

No, why would you think that?

• With a fancy motorized sit/stand desk that’s all the rage these days, you either sit at it in a regular chair with the desk at its low setting, or you hit the button and wait for it to lift to its high setting so you can use it while standing.

• With a fixed standing-height desk and a high drafting stool instead of a low normal chair, you use the desk while standing, or you sit on the stool and use the desk (again, still in that same high position) while seated.

IMO, the latter has a bunch of advantages:

• It’s quicker to transition between standing and sitting because you don’t have to wait for the motor

• It’s cheaper because you don’t have to buy a desk with a motor in it

• There are no extra moving parts to break

• You can cable-manage your computer cables without having to leave extra slack to accommodate the desk moving

• You can wall-mount your monitors to reduce desk clutter, since they don’t have to move, whereas with a motorized desk you’d have to use a regular monitor stand or a monitor bracket that clamps to the desk top

It was also gigantic compared to the Game Boy. Between that and the fact you needed to carry an AC power brick or 12v cigarette lighter adapter (or both) pretty much all the time unless you were swimming in AA battery money, you ended up carrying the thing around in what was basically a damn purse, like this one (more pictures on linked page):

And that’s the smallest of the several first-party SEGA cases for it!

Needless to say, despite its technological superiority to a Game Boy, I didn’t play mine nearly as often as I would have had a owned a Game Boy instead, just because it was so cumbersome to take places.

It’s a chair tall enough to use at the same height as a standing desk.
