that is definitely true however the added benefit is typically a longer warranty range as buying a laptop would typically mean that all components would be sold under a single flat warranty cycle/deadline

plus even if your computer is borked, you can still take it into a microcenter, memoryexpress, brick-and-mortor retailer to have their technicians figure it out the problem for a cost

I often have these time vs cost tradeoff discussions with my customers after they've been informed on the basics

hmm after rereading the initial comment I mean it's not impossible but I'd posit that it's highly unlikely as the majority of us have already experienced the dynamics where doing so would drive our users away to another instance like the initial reddit implosion

I'd assume a sponsored post on a Lemmy community would just be a pinned post that a mod got money for

and yes that'd probably be it

one person's footgun is another's opportunity lol

• Microsoft Crowdstrike and Linux
• Unity and Godot

I'd recommend ignoring the uninformed or ignorant bait

it doesn't make sense as the fediverse systems here are under an AGPL-3.0 license

That's interesting, I didn't know the mods here were mods there too.

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case cause after reddit's self-made implosion with the API access debacle, the majority of us migrated to (fediverse instances such as) mastodon and here

oh god

I remember when I initially found out about this game and I got tense anxiety just watching people play (I'm not good with horror)🫠

great game but I'm one of those who can't play as I get too giddy/nervous

with a $1000 budget they might want to consider building a computer as desktops usually provide better performance/per cost rather than buying a $1000 laptop

• desktop pcs can also be small if a small form-factor like ITX or mini-ITX is chosen (although mini-ITX can be pricey)

building is incredibly easy as there's a plethora of tutorial vids online and you're less likely to get screwed over by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or retailer

• diy vs. buying a pre-built

the fediverse here also has an active community for support !buildapc@lemmy.world

no, it's never a good idea, not even out of desperation

I personally wouldn't recommend it

yup, also true!👍

por qué no los dos?

but what if

the good news is that if you dislike/disagree with any decision by a mod or admin you'll always still have the option to either:

1. Instance Hop🐇
2. Host Your Own Instance🤗

power to you and hope Scooter has a smooth recovery!🍀

that is 100% true👍

I just saw a good opportunity to use the meme here so I took it😆

depends on your return window,

if you have a chance to refund both your CPU and mobo I'd personally recommend taking it and waiting to see what Intel does if you want to buy Intel's future processors, you'd also get the option to take a look at AMD's lineup as well

if you're outside the return window for both it might still be worth refunding the CPU and seeing if you'd be able to swap the mobo with an AMD equivalent by contacting your board maker [Asus, MSI, Asrock, Gigabyte, NZXT, etc), if they say no then you still have the option to sell as a new board as it sounds like you were on the cusp of the build phase

Always has been

Thinking about this situation again and I'm only just realizing the ripple effects this might have on the company's future and the future CPU ecosystem

I have to wonder if Intel realizes that they swam out to the ocean with no plan in mind
