Yarrabyte and Botbot have taken up a Life of Crime and are currently firebombing vape shops for fun and profit. You'll have to make do with me.

Made it down the beach last night. Ended up building the 'puter. No mishaps. Certainly the fastest thing I've ever used.

Ended up going w/ win 11 ltsc. So far so good. No bunch of useless shit on there straight out of the gates.

And it's quiet even at load. Can hear the second hand of the clock in the other room when it's idle lol.

Only hitting 50c after an hour of prime95 which is wild. Obviously didn't bugger the thermal paste.

Now have to reinstall all the audio things which takes for ever.

    Currently tossing up whether to build a or buy a prebuilt PC. Current one I'm using I didn't build and it's a bit of a monster put together over a few years with the last upgrades done in 2019. Boyo just nabbed a prebuilt and it's actually a great machine.

    My old PC, Athena (yeah I name all my devices), I built, and she was a beast. I'm currently using a pre-built PC (Minerva) as it was just easier than buying PC components and building it myself at the time (one bedroom prison cell in the CBD).

    The pre built is a small machine, it's very easy to move around, and runs the vast majority of games I like to play perfectly. It's a bit outdated now (bought in 2020), but it's really good!

    I bought it from Tecs Pty on La Trobe St in the CBD. Also got two gaming chairs from them, and wheeling them back to my apartment along city streets is a memory I won't forget 😂😂
