Being fully honest, with that motherboard it will likely be better to attempt a new, fresh build.

Maybe something like this, reusing your RAM, using the stock cooler.

I know you want to upgrade your current parts, but there isn’t much that hadn’t already been said (motherboard layout, case size, power supply). Bumping up RAM to 16GB or even 32. Maybe looking at SFF GPUs like this.

Damnit, you’re right!

But for real, I think you misunderstand the point of documentation. Even if something were truly, literally flawless, having documentation would still be a net gain. It isn’t only to fix something when it goes wrong, but explains how things are working. If the only way for something to be literally flawless in your world view is for it to be so self explanatory that an idiot seeing it for the first time still understands it perfectly, nothing in computing can be flawless in that way.

The pedantry on this point is so unhelpful as to be actively harmful to the rest of the discussion.

They didn’t say it required documentation, they said it had plenty of documentation should you need it.

Wild, without specifying, I had to check whether this was an app. I thought you were just being snarky at first! This is such a great but terrible name for a messaging app

And that is the (broken) promise of AI, to bridge that gap. It won’t, not for a long time, and not without great costs. And only if profit is not the motivation, so never.

I agree, and those “problems” will never be fixed by AI. Not everyone who laments that AI should make life easier is a supporter of AI, though. Sometimes it’s a general “[technological] advancement should be for the good of the people, not the good of the select shareholders”.

I am fully against the current application of AI and think it is a horrible waste in so many ways. Yes, the dream of a Star Trek like utopia with “good” AI applications is what my ideal is, but I know in the real world it just generated suffering. What it should do, and what it ever will do are two separate circles that don’t touch in the ven diagram.

That still requires gathering the dirty items together, loading/unloading, keeping track of when it is full/time to run. People saying this mean they want a robot like Rosie from the Jetsons to take care of that sort of housekeeping, not for a machine that makes the task easier to do themself.

Edit: to be clear, I don’t think a washer machine or dishwasher is a hassle and problem that needs solving, but that doesn’t take away from the message of “AI should help make life easier, not replace the creative outlets additional free time should allow”

I always saw it as “et cetera”, so the “et” came naturally to me

I agree, without know how OP wants to customize, I’m assuming they want to customize the desktop GUI. If that’s the case, anything KDE will be a good starting place. They also implied they don’t mind if they mess something up, so the specs probably don’t matter for being the most resource efficient. It just needs to be hand-holdy enough to help get a little experience for them, then they can jump into a more hands on distro

What about Keyboard Cat :(

“Wolves have been domesticated by ravens”

If you don’t think your cat loves you, then your cat probably doesn’t think you respect them.

Unless I have a connecting flight, I also am usually pretty relaxed in getting off the plane. I’ll allow other people to get off before me (unless I’m blocking someone else in my row) and I generally don’t rush.

That said, when I am ready to get off the plane, I get off the fucking plane. I don’t take my time, I don’t rummage around. I make sure I know what I need to grab, and prep as much as I can before hand. Either wait in your seat, or get off the plane.

Support UBI, then meaningless jobs don’t matter.

At self checkout, I pack while I scan, and then I have control over the order of scanning and packing.

It does suck that places are opting to have self checkout in exclusion to checkout lanes, but for the people that don’t like self checkout just don’t use it when you have the choice.

Just today I had to explain to a coworker how I grew to love Linux because I was hating Windows, I don’t hate Windows because I love Linux. And I don’t want to hate Windows, I wish they were slowly becoming anti-user, but they keep adding (forcing) features that are so unfriendly to the user.

I had to help someone figure out why their new storage drive wasn’t showing up, and it was because Windows has something called “Storage Spaces”, turning “unused” storage drives into a sort of virtual raid local One Drive. It’s a neat idea, but it hides the physical drive from File Explorer and Disk Management. That should be a feature you have to intentionally configure and enable, not something that can just happen automatically.

I agree, this timeline sucks. It shouldn’t be this easy to bite the onion…

Saw several stories where the user was experiencing a building wide power outage…

Maybe anymore Minecraft is different, but when it started it was about mining and crafting tools to mine more efficiently.

Terraria always evokes terrarium to me, which makes it feel like a whole little world, but also felt like it was more contained to me (from title alone).
