    Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop? :p

    Babe its to gift our beloved xpress. B)

    :D

    You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix. :p

    Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

    If business is good, maybe I'll upgrade and offer up my used one next year in some kinda of raffle. Would be easier to get a used model through customs I imagine!

    What if I shipped it all torn apart, and the winner had to assemble it? :p

    Tearing apart laptop? worst nightmare. :'(

    It's actually fairly easy to reassemble in most cases, unless you don't desolder anything.

    As long as there is no soldering, that would make it way easier

    I'll never buy something with soldered ram

    MacBook? Mac mini? 😂😂😂

    Nope. Thats why I prefer a PC. Most developers I've seen like the MacBook pro though. I do like the looks of it. But non upgradability is meh for me.

    It's upgradable if you get the right tools, right replacement chips and a sure fire way to temper with OS core....

    TrK is so hyped now, he won't be leaving the first spot for anyone

    I'm here.

    Go for it then..

    Already working towards it.. one post at a time.. B)

    Keep the pace up though. The beast might wake up anytime :lol:

    Have to strat work. Trying my best

    Good luck !

    But keep your priorties where they are most important! Do not waver

    No, pardon me if I gave that impression. I was just talking about your spirit. Nothing can stop you from reaching that laptop, despite your busy schedule.

    I was kidding. 🤣🤣

    :lol: Got plans for the laptop BTW?

    Don't have any plans.. will try to be active daily. Need to do lots of coding though. WIll try to manage.

    Play games!

    Thats why I need that laptop. :p

    What about board games? no laptop needed

    A computer store near me has this wall of motherboards, so cool.

    And just look at all these Linksys WRT series routers!

    Probably acquired them when someone ran outta business.

    They've been around for a while and love to collect like me, so we get along quite well.

    Ahh, are these on sale BTW, the routers, esp?

    They're mostly for display in the shop, but maybe if I asked really nice.

    Here's my setup for the big RackNerd thread of 2021 :D

    Woah, that's impressive, man. That green lit keybaord an HP Pavillion gaming?

    Yeah that's my 2019 HP 15Z, Ryzen 5 1050ti. Not a bad little rig for $450!

    "Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

    Oddly enough the reviews from Best Buy said the exact opposite, but I snagged it anyway and mine is excellent still to this day. Probably fixed the cooling issue with a BIOS update by the time I purchased it, I guess the fans weren't kicking in when they should have been?

    I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it with no problems when it released, when people with much higher end hardware were complaining of constant problems, so I was happy with my choice.

    I see, maybe you got one of the very first generations. Pavillion series you own was later famous among gamers for badass thermal management.

    My first laptop was compaq. 2GB ram, pentium. 5kg weight.

    Whatever happened to Compaq?!

    Absorbed by HP.

    Yup. That was solid laptop though. Service was also good at that time.

    I have an old Compaq sitting in my mom's garage somewhere, probably only a handful of years newer than that IBM Thinkpad. I should go get it and see if she will still boot.

    I think it will. Mine still turns on. Screen damaged but can see some gibberish on it.

    Still own the old Compaq? Remember how much you got it for?

    Not working. Just have it in a box. I think I got it for 32K at that time.

    Hmm that's great

    32K rupees.

    this makes way more sense. Thanks!

    Well I beg to differ.... If spending a little can make them function better I jumps the gun....

    Well, if they are like some old speakers, or some engines like that, I agree.

    But not for these pcs. Latest cheap entry level one perform much better than old beasts. I don't think its worth the price, and the risk of more component failures. IMO

    Reassembling it would be a challenge in itself. BTW, so kind of you to even consider it. At times, with Indian customs, it doesn't even matter, if it's used, broken or brand new.

    Exactly.. don't know what they learn at training.

    It's prolly not just training. Unclear policies could be a very good reason for the uncertainty.

    Good reason for them to earn a lot from the loop holes.

    Yup. Right. There's still some corruption in the customs department

    is it really that bad there?

    Take a break bro. I remember you haven't slept last night because of personal thing.

    Likely why I am easily overstimmed, on duty tonight too.

    Tonight too? how do you manage?

    Like I do...... Who needs sleep anyways....

    Don't want to talk about it, but he have health issues, and immune deseases get worse without sleep. Thats why I'm worried.

    Well it's manageable if it's occasionally..... But continuously doing that is not good.....

    May be. He doesn't like to talk about it in the festive mood anyway. So its conversation for another time.

    Let's move forward, so how's been things at home? Especially with the daughter of Mr experience....

    She scolded me yesterday for spending lots of time on LET and neglecting work. :(

    TrK is so hyped now, he won't be leaving the first spot for anyone

    Anyone hoping for the laptop needs to grab it from him, but, he's extremely competitive and that's understandable.

    I'm here.

    Go for it then..

    Let's go go for it don't give up

    Anybody who gave up- too soon. Take xpress' example. Learn from him.

    Am i that much behind? :o

    No, pardon me if I gave that impression. I was just talking about your spirit. Nothing can stop you from reaching that laptop, despite your busy schedule.

    I was kidding. 🤣🤣

    :lol: Got plans for the laptop BTW?

    Don't have any plans.. will try to be active daily. Need to do lots of coding though. WIll try to manage.

    Ok good luck again dude.

    Thank you, Send some comments to my acount

    Good luck man, i hope you catch up with TrK

    Not today. I will move to work now. :(

    good choice. Keep those priorities straight

    A computer store near me has this wall of motherboards, so cool.

    And just look at all these Linksys WRT series routers!

    Probably acquired them when someone ran outta business.

    They've been around for a while and love to collect like me, so we get along quite well.

    Ahh, are these on sale BTW, the routers, esp?

    They're mostly for display in the shop, but maybe if I asked really nice.

    Here's my setup for the big RackNerd thread of 2021 :D

    Woah, that's impressive, man. That green lit keybaord an HP Pavillion gaming?

    Yeah that's my 2019 HP 15Z, Ryzen 5 1050ti. Not a bad little rig for $450!

    "Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

    Oddly enough the reviews from Best Buy said the exact opposite, but I snagged it anyway and mine is excellent still to this day. Probably fixed the cooling issue with a BIOS update by the time I purchased it, I guess the fans weren't kicking in when they should have been?

    I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it with no problems when it released, when people with much higher end hardware were complaining of constant problems, so I was happy with my choice.

    I see, maybe you got one of the very first generations. Pavillion series you own was later famous among gamers for badass thermal management.

    My first laptop was compaq. 2GB ram, pentium. 5kg weight.

    Whatever happened to Compaq?!

    Absorbed by HP.

    Yup. That was solid laptop though. Service was also good at that time.

    I have an old Compaq sitting in my mom's garage somewhere, probably only a handful of years newer than that IBM Thinkpad. I should go get it and see if she will still boot.

    I think it will. Mine still turns on. Screen damaged but can see some gibberish on it.

    Still own the old Compaq? Remember how much you got it for?

    Not working. Just have it in a box. I think I got it for 32K at that time.

    Do you mean 32,000 dollars?

    Oh no. 32K rupees. INR.

    Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop? :p

    Babe its to gift our beloved xpress. B)

    :D

    You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix. :p

    Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

    If business is good, maybe I'll upgrade and offer up my used one next year in some kinda of raffle. Would be easier to get a used model through customs I imagine!

    What if I shipped it all torn apart, and the winner had to assemble it? :p

    Our customs still charge on it may be. They do unexpected things. :D

    Yup, they might even charge it as a new product.

    They do?

    Have heard of stories of that happening as well. Don't have personal experience of this specific thing though.

    I hope we don't have to see anything like that. > @noob404 said:

    You guys are going fast

    Too much caffeine for everyone :smiley:

    i think thats what keeps the fingers so nimble for most everyone else

    Tea does that to mee. Stilmulates my brain and body.

    Nicotine and caffeine both are addictive by nature 😅😅

    Nicotine I don't want to addict though
