Just did my first CPU Upgrade in 7 years, it went well.
  • I feel your pain. 9 years ago I dropped my Intel CPU into the socket. One magnifying glass, a tweezer, some toothpick, and a week later it was up and running for 8 years, until I moved and leave it in a cardboard box for 6 months. Now it's just boot looping after the CPU fan spin for a few seconds.

  • Hong Kong says school children sang anthem too softly
  • How is it Thatcher's fault? I'm genuinely curious.

    I learned that Hong Kong is under British control because it's a leasing contract that last 99 years (from 1898 to 1997). So when the time comes it's nobody's fault that Hong Kong went back to China. Because China at the time would never extent the contract or even except negotiations.

  • I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed
  • Banks and hospitals sell your information, too.

    When my wife gave birth to our son at the hospital, I have to put down my phone number as part of the check in form. Immediately the next day I got call for "Home care services for new mom and baby".

  • Aww.
    Once a year you could have one treat-yourself day within your budget. What would you do/buy?

    Every year on my birthday, I treat myself to an unreasonable purchase. Something that I always wanted but wouldn't just buy it normally because it wouldn't be practical or reasonable. Something like an expensive toy, or a fun gadget, or a hobby kit.

    This year I'm indecisive between the Steam Deck and the Meta Quest 3. You might ask why would that be unreasonable. Because I have a family with a newborn now so I don't have much free time to game anymore. It would be a waste because I can only play like once or twice per week.

    I would love to hear about your desire for an "unreasonable purchase" (within your budget).
