Oh, I bought the second one for parts but it turned out to be in better shape than my old one. So I moved a bunch of the parts from the first one over to the second, because neither was working before I did that.
I had an Acer netbook that I ended up calling the Netbook of Theseus because I bought one in 2009, then several years later bought an identical one on eBay. I ran Linux on the thing and kept it until last year.
Oh lort. You just gave me flashbacks. One of my kids bought one of those $200 Chuwi laptops and it would barf all over itself about once a month, so badly it would require a reinstall.
Just going to tell the story that I broke one of the cardinal rules of PCMR by drunkenly pointing out the origin of “master race” when someone in a PCMR thread was going on about some other group being offensive and how PCMR was so much better.
It’s always been tongue in cheek; it’s meant to be a statement that PCs are superior to consoles. At a certain point it seems like PCMR just turned into talking about PCs. And that’s fine. The sticky thing about it is, if it’s not about jokingly talking about PCs being superior, does it need to be PCMR? On the other hand it’s dang near a brand at this point. Can you move a PCMR audience over to something else entirely?
That’s what bugs me about modern phone design, though. They could put Otterbox-type protection right on the phone and that’d be fine for most people. Personally have an S23 and I think it’s unnecessarily ugly, thin, and easy to drop, when it’s not in a case.
