Not even an exaggeration, I feel physically ill just thinking about it.

99% of the time water in my water bottle and nothing else.

The 1% of the time it’s not its water nearby + coffee or a soda.

The concept of having more than 1 drink other than water is bewildering, and honestly disgusting to me.

Modern phone cameras are 99% software at this point. If you took one phones camera and put it onto another phone without adapting the software then the photos will look like ass.

You can’t just unplug something from device X and connect it to device Y. The connectors aren’t standardized. And even if they were they wouldn’t fit because the placement is different. In theory you could take the CPU off of one device and plant it onto another. But have fun with that BGA micro soldering. Plus the connections will be different unless you picked a phone with the exact same CPU. Ram is the only thing you could potentially upgrade. But like good luck.

You’d legitimately have an easier time making a new phone from scratch than trying to piece together 3 different phones.

I’d stick with XP. Most software written for windows 95 and up will run on XP, and it’s still new enough to connect to modernism file shares to download files. There’s a ton of games and hardware that works best with XP.

As soon as you install Linux on a machine like that it becomes just an old boring PC.

Can it solve captchas for me?

If you need the money then start looking for jobs now, and quit when you've got something.

They have. The iphone 6 was I think the thinnest iphone at 6.9mm thick. The X was 7.7mm, and the 15 is 7.8mm thick. And at least for my use I do get 2 days of battery life. Even with the 80% charge cap.

My friend had an older MSI gaming laptop and it was built like SHIT. He didn't use it a whole lot until he started working at our company and it lasted maybe 4 years of reasonable daily use. Physically it was fine because he never actually touched the laptop. But that thing was so incredibly unstable and eventually ended with it's M.2 and it's internal sata slots being unusable, and making the machine take 5 minutes to boot.

I also bought two MSI "business" laptops and those things were absolute junk too. The touch panel came from the factory broken. Thankfully nobody wants to use that shit so we just disabled. But my co worker dropped one the other day and we need to replace the whole display assembly but I can't for the life of me find parts for the machine. After about two weeks of searching my only options were A. a whole ass laptop for $500 (thankfully they depreciate lick a rock) or B. A complete display assembly for $375. No thanks, we're replacing those pieces of shit.

Unless you want to game on it save yourself the suffering and just get a used thinkpad. The T14 gen 1 goes for $200 easily and it's quadcore CPU is sufficient, and you can find it with the 6 core. I bought a T14 s gen 2 AMD for $300 and it's 6 core blows that T14 out of the water and gets far better battery life, plus it's iGPU ain't no slouch. (All prices USD, can will probably be higher)

Side note are there any good hardware swap communities on lemmy? I have a number of old machines I need to get rid of.

If you want 3 m.2 slots 100% go for the x670e board.

By default on most B__0 boards installing a second m.2 SSD uses all remaining pcie lanes, and possibly even disables some features like sata ports. So installing a 3rd means downgrading your GPU from x16 to x8. X670/e gives you 8 more pcie lanes to fill with all the SSDs you want.

Windows 10 is coming up on 10 years old. Things can't live forever.

MS learned that from XP.

They already had the 5600 and 5600x and they're only 100mhz slower. And at least at launch those CPUs are significantly cheaper. From the article the xt is $192.08 currently, and the 5600x is $125.50

If he's checking his bank account on there then you're still pretty bad. Downloading dubious cracked software is never a good start.
