    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.

    Didn't know laptops were that cheap in those days.

    Cheap? Noooo. 30k was big amount at that time. Dont forget the inflation.

    Oh yah, completely forgot about that. I was talking about the amount I was quoted for a low end laptop when we got our first desktop PC in 2004. They quotes us 60K for a low end laptop.

    not a bad deal in rupees

    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

    😂😂😂 Well it's works if it works

    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.

    I plan to get some rest tonight, I'll probably get really baked at some point so I'll have no choice but to sleep like a baby. :)

    Thats good plan. Sleep tight when you have time. B)

    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.

    He's a professional at this, so he knows slow and steady wins the race.

    I am like retired professional competing with young guys.. 🤣

    Retiree making a re-entry. Cue music.

    🤣🤣

    Feeling like Dhoni?

    Definitely not. 🤣

    Maybe some CSK music will get you there.

    what is csk music? Im not familiar with that. a genere?

    TrK got his sleep? Or going to sleep

    He slept?

    Most prolly. He is known to be a night owl.

    He didn't sleep the entire night.

    Yup, pulling an all-nighter is tough. Did that last year.

    Not good for health though. Did it couple of days last year on some project. Got sick after few days.

    Yah, at times you get so damn used to it, that you become delusional about it being perfectly healthy. Most of the times, it's not.

    I slept like 2 hours a day for an entire week. :(

    I have done that during exams.

    I think most of us do that before exams. Atleast backbenchers. ;)

    Yup, studying at the 11th hour is a special skill we had.

    And forget everything before exam, because lack of sleep.

    Never faced that. I performed best at the 11th hour.

    when crunch time comes, thats what really puts the pressure on

    Absolutely. Consistency is key if you want the first prize.

    Master. 🙇‍♂️

    No consistency in real life though.

    You'll get there.. we mature and tend to settle as we age.. or just get married.

    Not ready to take that magic potion as an experiment yet.

    You seeing anybody?

    Nah, figuring out life for myself first.

    no a bad thing to do and never too late

    Yup, need to finalise my personal project today.

    Yah, should be online for public consumption in the next 2 days, if all goes well.

    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. :(

    Tell me something new 😁😁😁

    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.

    I wish first 5 gifts are laptops with different configs this year.. everybody wins a laptop. :p

    Interesting. That would mean, the configs have to be lowered a bit. But, it'd guarantee more laptop winners.

    Exactly.. lower specs..

    Maybe Framework laptops?

    Means?

    Easily customisable laptops - https://frame.work/ Even GPU can be upgraded without soldering.

    Oh this. Is it still in making. Seen something like this for mobiles as well few years back.

    No no. This has been around for a few years now. They started doing plug and play GPUs only recently I guess.

    I didnt even realize that. Feels like it has been forever

    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

    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.

    I am bad at hardware soldered hardware.

    Me as well. I try to stay away as much as possible, but recently I have taken an interest to it

    You soldered anything recently?

    Yup, a router and my Android box.

    Router? what did you solder in that?

    UART. It helps you get shell access to any device that supports it.

    what is UART? So many acrynmoms now! You guys know too much!

    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....

    I think someone who has to work to earn, and spending on MacBook to work, will not have that much time to put that effort. :p

    That's why we see more macs in garbage dump.....

    Me too. Never been a fan of cricket my whole life (Yes, I was an anomaly among friends). But, still watched it for Sachin, Ganguly (Dada), Sehwag, Dravid, etc. and the gang. Since their retirement, I believe it has degraded.

    I need to start watching cricket one day. It seems very popular. I jsut dont understand the rules and need to take the time to learn

    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.

    He's a professional at this, so he knows slow and steady wins the race.

    Absolutely. Consistency is key if you want the first prize.

    Master. 🙇‍♂️

    No consistency in real life though.

    You'll get there.. we mature and tend to settle as we age.. or just get married.

    Not ready to take that magic potion as an experiment yet.

    You seeing anybody?

    Nah, figuring out life for myself first.

    All the best.. just go slowly. Listen to your brain, not heart. :p

    Yah, another lesson I wish I had learned as a teenager itself.

    Sometimes its ok to not know everything. You learn eventually

    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.

    I am bad at hardware soldered hardware.

    Me as well. I try to stay away as much as possible, but recently I have taken an interest to it

    You soldered anything recently?

    Yup, a router and my Android box.

    Router? what did you solder in that?

    UART. It helps you get shell access to any device that supports it.

    which router it is?

    Amplifi HD. It's a friend's that I got to tinker with, cause he wasn't using it.

    How do you like it? never tried that brand

    I'm gonna take a break as these comments are flying in so fast it's legitimately overstimulating. :D

    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.

    More like I didn't want to bring anyone down with my issues, I'm supposed to be the hype-beast!

    Nope learning about these actually makes us more careful with the health, and what to do and what not to do things..

    what is UART? So many acrynmoms now! You guys know too much!

    I forget what it stands for but it's like old serial connection. If you're unsure what that's like, think a shell/console connection.

    Hells yeah. What router /device is that? I UARTed mine to install OpenWrt on it.

    I just bought an openWrt router, seemed like an easy route but not as fun

    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

    😂😂😂 Well it's works if it works

    It works.. but is it worth the price is my question. :p

    Depends on the pov...

    I'm helping a friend though a rough time, but I'm still checking in.
    Couldn't resist posting something about my UART escapades in device modding.

    good on you. People need someone they can lean on

    I am like retired professional competing with young guys.. 🤣

    Retiree making a re-entry. Cue music.

    🤣🤣

    Feeling like Dhoni?

    Definitely not. 🤣

    Maybe some CSK music will get you there.

    I was a big fan of cricket as kid though. Used to play a lot. I had posters of Ganguly in my room. Everyday morning I woke up by looking at his poster.

    And a pocket calender in my pocket with his pic.. those sweet memories..

    Did you ever think about going pro?

    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

    Irony you already are ......

    Talking about trace levels?
