He knows what he's about.

There be no blasphemy or deception like using a plastic banana rather than whatever random banana they have at your local store.

Nowhere local stocks the parts to repair most second-hand items. Parts for older items are often hard to find because they are no longer made. I mean, you're replying to someone who builds repairable versions of such items. Why do you think that is necessary?

Do you have the skill-set to do as they do? I do, and yet, I assure you, skills, a 3D Printer and a friggen machine-shop at my disposal can only do so much to compensate for a supply chain that has been absolutely gutted and continually re-worked to force consumption, and of products from the far end of the globe, at that.

Yeah, dial-up isn't the part I miss.

Legal what? Not abortions or weed, so ... ?

Top it all off, she didn't have weed on her, and Zofran is neither addictive nor does it have effects worth abusing.

I miss the magical time when Compuserve, AoL, Yahoo, and more, all had to compete with eachother, and all you need to use ALL of them was that initial dial-up connection.

Then AoL bought Compuserve, AT&T bought Yahoo, and all along it went to shit in a million different little ways.

I think you meant "consistent", but you know what? That title looks consistent enough to me, and I'm saving your comment for copy-pasta. Just beautiful.

Even back when I was in the laptop-repair game, this is the kinda stuff people would expect me to know about their stuff that I hated. I saw too many features come and go over the years to keep track of even half of it on behalf of others.

Depends on the iGPU, but this being a damn near brand-new laptop, I'm sure you're right.

Maybe if it allowed you to switch to integrated graphics versus discrete, putting the GPU to sleep.

For just browsing, even integrated graphics has been plenty since the beginning of the internet, maybe with some exceptions when Flash gaming reached its pinnacle.

The one usually works best with the other, though.

EDIT: nm, I see what you were getting at in their comment now. Thy also meant downscaling the Text/UI, not upscaling.

Honestly more respectable than what I was replying to before, unless they were being sarcastic at first.

Seriously though, I dig it. Just a bit off these last few days.
