A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Since the dual core my mom was using was spitting blood, I got her a Minisforum with a good Black Friday discount; maybe overkill for the web+mail she'll use it for, but at least its future proof. And that's in my opinion what they nailed with the original iMacs and promptly forgot: the majority of people just need something to browse, send email and little more, a little gaming, no AI... a midrange notebook or these tiny boxes would do all of that well, and for quite a long time.
