Dumbest shit I ever heard.

Buy whatever is best, never lock yourself into any brand.

Watch your mouth. My family can trace its unbroken Intel usage back to 1745. My grandparents and parents met at a chip foundry. I was born in a clean room and I shat thermal paste for my first 18 months.

My 8086 confirms this.

Haha, all of us are secretly still PC Nerds Grin

I always was. Not a single non-custom built workstation in my house until date. Remember the old days when my neighbors rang the doorbell to ask about the humming noise that kept them from falling asleep. I pushed the door fully open and they saw my four development servers in the wardrobe. Had to watercool them. Since then it's only low noise builds for me Cool

Why no bottom vents? so it doesnt heat up when its on your stomach/ lap?

I bought a Acer aspire 5 slim ryzen 3 AMD vega, on amazon they are $350 but i bought a refurb one they $80 cheaper! it was brand new literally, not even 1 fingerprint on it.

I'm looking for a new laptop atm too... want something really slim... I'm an Intel guy (last time had an AMD CPU back in 486/Pentium 1 times it was crap so I sticked with Intel ever since) Defo no Apple products for... reasons... Grin

Perhaps DELL? Any solid and stylish models?

Dell got good reputation for offering long time support. You'll get spare parts for at least 10 years. (Or seven years, if i confused that with IBM, now Lenovo).
Quality went down over they years a bit, because high integration and all, but Dell's should still be pretty good. I'd go for a XPS13.

XPS13 looks great! So thin and reasonably priced Core i7 config as well... not sure if I want a 8GB vs 16GB RAM yet...

I'm still running an old I3 quad asus that does the job fine. but I don't game on a laptop. Actually I don't game much at all anymore, getting old I guess.

Looks nice, classic design. Just too big for me, 14 inch screen is my personal maximum.
I started into the notebook era with these 9-inch vaio's, when i did a lot of wifi/lan packet sniffing on the road, settled with 12/13 inch screens for a long time, but my aged eyes need 14 inch for full-HD to save me from headaches...

Yep. The old couch/blanket issue.
The Acer models from 2017, based on the Swift aluminum cases, are my go-to reference. Good work, no bottom vents, good battery life, nice non-glare screen, sufficient for indoor use. I really consider getting a used one as replacement for my wife's Swift3 (screen flickers, old Acer problem with the crappy display connector on the sub-board).

“What is essential to ensure the cryptographic integrity of the system, and the decentralization of validation, is in fact, truly central. It is the unavoidable aspect of making a credible record. But the rotation of the successive block creation, its purpose is not achieving the purpose of increasing the cryptographic strength of the system.”

my early i7 still kicking ass after all these years.

Lots of other upgrades and re-upgrades latest was a 1040ti I think.

SSD etc. no real need to spend the silly money for newer components right now (or the money)

oh totally, I have yet to see a compelling reason to move off my hotrodded X58 setup; 48G of RAM, nvme boot drive, 1080ti, it does what I need

Nice setup. My daily driver is still an i7 4770K, 16GB RAM, 1080ti.

I'll probably upgrade in 2022 when Zen 4 releases. It's supposed to release on a new socket (AM5), and support a lot of the next gen tech, like USB 4.0 and PCIe 4.0. I'd also like to get away from Intel due to all the security vulnerabilities.

Did you mean DDR5 and USB 4?

Ryzen 3 supports PCIE 4.0.

AFAIK The new intel socket will support PCIE 4.0 but eh CPU's don't. Rotflmfao what a joke they are twisting marketing to make it sound like they do. And the Intel Fanboi shills are all trying to make it sound like thats a reason to buy the new socket, so you can upgrade the cpu in the future and have PCIE 4.0. funny thing is the retard fanboi's are eating it up. Its going to be even funnier when the next Intel gen gets released and they find out they need a new socket again because cough DDR5. LOL but then they will be saying how great it is to have DDR5 and that was their goal all aloneg, now run and buy new boards again you little sheeple.

I am still on Intel, mainly because my i7-2800K is still sufficient as desktop processor and some 3-4 year old i5 on the laptop for cooler operation (lower fan noise, more battery time) but my next mobile one will probably be a Ryzen, too. They have come into Intel territories, regarding operation temps and single core processing power (for DAW use).
Intel is just marketing crap nowadays, not to mention the numerous bugfixes rolled out that impact performance considerably Embarrassed

Arbitrage opportunity for the brave/foolhardy?
https://cointelegraph.com/news/iran-ditches-the-rial-amid-hyperinflation-as-localbitcoins-seem-to-trade-near-35k

Quote

Back in 2018, Iranian authorities set an official exchange rate at some 42,000 rial to the dollar. Many currency exchanges still show this as the going rate. At the same time, peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange LocalBitcoins is seeing prices of 1,445,658,900 rials per BTC — according to the official exchange rate, roughly $34,500.

It is, however, not the time to start selling BTC in Iran. Despite official proclamations, the rial has taken a beating alongside the Iranian economy.

According to Radio Free Europe, black market trading had the U.S. dollar selling for 156,000 rials. The toman would cut four zeroes off of current rates, but may well run into the same problems that have stymied the rial.

• incredibly difficult to get your Rials back into USD
• a really great way to end up in US prison for breaching sanctions

But you do get the nice orange outfit!

One of my fav colours.
