  • Do you remember the bad old days when you'd go to someone's house and their browser would be unusable because it had so many toolbars installed? That was often from legit sites bundling crap into installers for software they hosted.

  • The bandwidth of a network card would generally outclass your internet connection by an order of magnitude.

    Gigabits per second network cards have been standard for at least a decade.

    And then there's your wifi too, if applicable, but even that is much faster than your general internet connection, unless you're far from your router. A new laptop might help you get a better wifi signal, if it had a newer wifi protocol or stronger radio, but that's also going to depend on your router.

    But in front of all of that is going to be your modem. Depending on the quality of your modem that might be a bottleneck.

  • A new laptop, even the best in the world, won't make your downloads any faster.

    I also back what everyone else is saying. Unless of course you can update your current laptop. What have you got? An extra stick of ram and an SSD can make an old laptop feel brand new, especially with an OS reinstall

  • I'd only ever say it while referring to myself, and when I do it's not of a consolation to myself or maybe as a way to tell the other person to not feel sorry about distracting me and making me forget. Is that the same way you interpret it?

  • When I lost my credit card overseas I was issued an emergency replacement by MasterCard and it only had MasterCard branding. I guess sometimes they issue cards (unless they got a bank to print it without their branding).

  • Just last week I decided to try a different tech than I'm used to to run up a site. I did a little research then searched GitHub and found Hugo. I read the Hugo docs, followed their beginners guide and... Didn't get fucking anywhere. Their docs are out of date, the examples are out of date. It looked so promising but my brain works best when referencing examples and when I couldn't even get those to work, well, I don't have time for that these days.

    If anyone knows another static site generator with up to date documentation and an easy to run up example please let me know.
