    Which 4th May is this from? Because if it’s from 2007 then that’s a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it’s from last month then I really hope he’s only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.

      Well, the x1950 Pro is from Oct 2006 but Grindr didn’t launch until March 2009. And I don’t know if it launched with the iconic colours but I don’t remember any other colours and I do remember using Grindr in 2010. Not sure about 2009.

      Edit: nice dick tho

          Good thing that was the giveaway, and not the “nice dick” edit, because I’d like to point out that it’s perfectly normal to compliment an acquaintance’s dick or give it a suck.

      That’s actually kind of sad.

      I remember doing a ton of stuff on my core 2 Duo iMac with 2gb ram.

      Sure, you won’t be playing cyberpunk, but it ran all the creative suite apps, a few games, and I did a ton of image editing, made movies, and did programming on it.

        My 2007 MacBook (white plastic) had a Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. For my first MacBook it was a perfectly usable laptop, but boy did it drop off a cliff fast. Tried putting Linux on it a while back, but it didn’t want to know.

        Meanwhile, the 2011 MacBook I replaced it with (Core i7, 16GB RAM) is running Mint like a dream.

      I don’t know what you guys are talking about?
      I’ve used an old laptop with Windows 11 (just because I wasn’t supposed to) which had Core 2 Duo T7500 (upgraded from T7100), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, but with an SSD rather than HDD. Pretty usable with that thing.

      Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.

          No, the hardware died. Just randomly shut down a few times until it didn’t boot nor POST anymore. The most it could do is spin a fan and output 5V to USB.

          Yeah, I’ve seen such stuff on old forums. Unfortunately, a replacement GPU would cost around €50, and that is just not worth it to try obviously.
          The CPU was €1.38 on AliExpress, so that was worth a try, but for the most part it just produced more heat

          Some different GPU would probably work there, but then again, I don’t know if it is a GPU issue. It wouldn’t even show any drive activity when attempting to boot.

          Perhaps early Windows 11 was a bit different. Plus I disabled Superfetch and BITS which would otherwise max out CPU, and when still on HDD, that too.
          Though I am not entirely sure if I also disabled something else.

          It could idle at around 5% I believe.

          Also, unused RAM is wasted RAM. Just because it’s used doesn’t mean it’s unusably full. Linux too will eat up entire RAM for caching, but it can be freed when needed.

      Now, now, I’m sure the first guy was “enhancing” his own specs a little bit, too. We all do it.

      That said, there are some arguably similar drives listed at 500 GB capacity on ebay. But it’s not the size of the disk, it’s the gesticulation of the allocation.

        I have several 500gb hdd’s. I’ve never seen one labled 512 gb. Only micro sd cards and SSD’s. If they did exist, I’d suspect they were either IDE or SAS.

        I’ve never seen a 512gb hdd. It’s such a weird number. I’ve seen 512gb micro SD cards.

                I feel like for HDDs it is. In general it is not. The even weirder thing is that HDD sizes are expressed in decimal gigabytes to inflate the numbers. A 500 GB drive will show as around 480 in some operating systems.

    Eww 5400 rpm hdd, even in the year here the pc is new is a hard no (also the drive would be 500 gb not 512 that’s an ssd thing not mechanical drives typically). 7200 rpm and highest cache amount possible please

        What? No tons of desktop drives were this way too. I mean yes WD RE style drives were fantastic but WD black was always the way to go back in mechanical days. They were for desktop.

            This thing sounds like it would eat more power within a month than its hardware is worth. This is fine for a proof of concept, but not much more.

            I would still use better drives even for home lab. In my opinion, 5400 rpm drives should only be used for slower nas / backup applications if at all. Or grandmas pc to save a few bucks.
