A used laptop with a messed up screen will work as well.

Make sure its a desktop or a battery with like 30 minutes of life left.

I typically had double types on my first gen pre and had to add tape to the battery to keep it in place, but the pre2 was awesome. I also can the custom kernels to try different schedulers. Good times

I miss the promise of WebOS and the palm Pre series. The 2 and 3 were in the right direction, and then HP 🔥

Ohhhhh… Let me see if this Dell I’m using can run ddr4, I would like to have 16GB of ram

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I recently picked up a used i3 14th gen to add to my server rack. Its great except ddr5 💸

This is the way.

I just got a mouse for my SNES and it’s great watching people play Mario Paint for the first time.

I think its partially over. I have seen a few non black and white homes pop up recently.

I find 8th gen i5 and i7 laptops under 200 all over eBay. Hard to beat.

My addition to the others mentioned here

• Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
• Andor

I only got a house as the monthly was below that of rent. When I was renting, I read the richest man in Babylon book. Its a bit dated advice, but I combined that with the play yourself monthly mentally. What I mean is I set aside some money each month for me to spend on anything extra. New pants, go out to movies, whatever. This money can also carryover to allow for a larger purchase, like a phone.

Anyway, don’t look to others as an indicator to your life journey. Write your story and don’t stress.

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

I’m more of a 3 slice pbj my self

As an adult with kids, yea. When I was single, no.
