Like 20 minutes lol

See y’all in ~270 years ig lol

What are you using your computer for?? Just web browsing or something‽ I just upgraded from an i5-6600k/1060 setup and for like the past year and some change I’ve been hitting 100% CPU usage with just a few programs open, not even gaming lol

And that was with a CPU 3 generations newer lmao

Standard Zen5 isn’t really worth it considering the dropping of Zen4 prices IMO

Unless you’re like me and upgrading from something quite old like an i5-6600k. I switched to a R5 7600 for now that’s at least on the AM5 and was less than 200 so I have a lot of upgrade paths later on when I have more funding (blew my entire budget on a 4080 LOLOL)

Still miles better than the i5/1060 setup I had lmao

What can I say, I like to watch dumpster fires

I’m not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.

From what I understand the Samshit Foldables have achieved a dust resistance rating.

But in general, I think the dust problem is rather overblown. Just exposing it to dust isn’t going to kill it IME, if you were like a construction worker or other industry where you’re dealing with a very dusty environment to begin with then yea. But the average person should be fine with the occasional light dusty environment

Believe me, I’m not rich either lol

I buy phones like millions of others in the US, from the carrier on a EIP

So its more like ~50/month for a regular top tier flagship or an extra 25 (75/month) for a foldy

That’s true, but Google Pixels are also one of the few remaining US brands that allows you to somewhat freely unlock the BL

So custom roms can easily be had, in fact GrapheneOS is one that specifically targets Pixels in general

It’s the 2nd biggest reason I didn’t jump onto the Foldy bandwagon with Samshit (#1 being how damn narrow the cover screen is)

That’s true, but software is software, it can be modified by end users to suit their needs, especially on Pixel foldables which are one of the few remaining US brands that still somewhat freely allow you to unlock the bootloader.

So in that case with an unlockable BL, one could even flash a custom ROM that fixes any issues

Just because you don’t hear her name doesn’t mean she isn’t putting in the work

This is about a politician supposedly running for a presidential office, that’s exactly what it means. If people aren’t hearing your name this close to an election you aren’t really trying.

It’s too darn expensive for what it does

It’s a phone that folds in half, the tech has been in development for something like 15 years. I swear I’ve been hearing about folding/flexible displays at CES since like 2004

After years and years of complaints of nothing but stagnant candy bar designs we get something new and fresh and now it’s “too expensive” LMAO

the software side of things is what more important

Nice thing about that is software is updatable, I find it silly when people say the hardware is nice, but the software isn’t there so nope. As if the software was as permanent as the hardware lol

Don’t listen to that right-wing idiot Dave Ramsey. He says stupid shit all the time, like never ever go into debt for anything ever, which is just unrealistic.

For example, according to him it’s preferable for you to get a 500$ clunker that you will undoubtedly have to continuously repair over a reasonably priced reliable used car that you take a small loan out for. There’s a middle ground with debt, even credit cards.

Duh, that’s how she issued the teleport and lockdown commands

Yea, at least with those who have attained a minimum of mid-close friend tier status lol

And I’m going to plug YNAB which is why I have these numbers, it costs $120/yr which is included. Highly recommend doing some kind of budgeting even if it’s on paper in a notebook once a month because all these costs can creep up. If you want free electronic use a spreadsheet.

My problem with getting and staying on budget is keeping up with data entry, YNAB and it’s ilk are all too manual. And the automatic ones have issues pulling together all my accounts and reconsilling the transactions between them. For example, a $10 PayPal debit from my bank account and it’s companion PayPal transaction should be correlated as the same transaction, but all the softwares I’ve tried would automatically treat them as separate no matter what I did. Which would ultimately throw off all the nice budget numbers making them uselss

I was hoping the genAI craziness would at least bore out a great fully automated budget system that would at least mostly solve my problem, but alas I still have yet to hear anything on that front :/

Lol I tried, hopefully you’ll find your prize one day fellow CCB fan 🫡

At least the link is here for wayward chili cheese burrito fans

Have you tried the CCB locator?

The item you seek could be closer than you think

The CCB is a franchisee optional item, they vary wildly in availability as a result.

For example, they’ve been available in every Colorado location I’ve been to
