  • Looking to build a basic media-center PC

  • Happy to help! Oh one more thing: Microcenter price matches, so look at competing sites the day before you go.

  • Looking to build a basic media-center PC

  • Here's some general thoughts in no particular order:

    • PC Part Picker is your friend for compatibility and sorting through all the options.
    • I have a Fractal North XL. It's a solid case. If you don't need a top of the line GPU, the regular North will do just fine.
    • Add some head room for your power supply. Get a gold or better rated one from a reputable brand.
    • Try to buy in-person from a Microcenter if you can. I brought a tablet with my list and they actually recommended some better in-house deals after reviewing my build concept. I saved money and ended up getting some backup parts.
    • From what I understand right now is that AMD is a better choice than Intel for CPUs.
    • Having one SSD as your primary drive and a secondary drive for data storage can be useful, especially if you need to reinstall the OS.
    • If you want to get into video/photo editing you'll want to consider getting more memory/RAM.
    • Take pictures while you build. Have some small containers ready for all the screws you'll be managing.
    • Build with a friend that has done this before if you can.
    • Jays2Cents has a lot of good consumer-focused videos without going too far into the technicals like GamersNexus.
    • You may find an entry level GPU useful for basic photo and video editing, but I'd read up on what's available on Linux and what's really needed.

  • Makes me think of the episode of Batman Beyond called "Shriek."

  • Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank

  • If you're going on a long road trip, yes.

  • Get your new PebbleOS watch

  • Yeah for the same price as the color option you could get a Garmin Vivoactive​ on a sale.

  • As much as I love Sync, it has been almost a year since the last update.

  • A typical software developer posting

  • With a sign like that, they definitely need a cashier that knows their math.

  • Mastodon and Pixelfed got a short mention on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

  • Better marketing, better UI, lots of users, and plenty of non-political content.

  • US fab construction costs twice as much, takes twice as long as Taiwan

    Jump

  • Plus, these have to be automotive grade, which requires a higher tier of durability. Not a lot of profit margin to be made on those sorts of devices.

  • Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian

  • Yeah they even say if you don't like what they do in the future you can easily pickup your md files and take them elsewhere.

  • AOC mocks border czar for suggesting she's 'impeding' the law: 'Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start'

    Jump

  • AOC for Speaker! Congress needs fixing too.

  • Schumer signals Democrats won’t pick a shutdown fight

    Jump

  • Has a shutdown flight ever actually worked for the minority party?

  • DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media?

    Jump

  • That definitely hinders discoverability. My feed is basically a depressing mix of climate change and politics.

  • I think this is a problem with the Fediverse in general.

    Search Kendrick Lamar on BlueSky and it's filled with people celebrating it, breaking down different aspects of the show, and making memes. Search the same on Mastodon and you get news articles about the show and the occasional personal post. A majority of the posts have 0 engagement on most of the posts.

  • Love all the shots of the trainings. Both hilarious and fascinating to watch.

  • Vance tells Musk that DOGE staffer who resigned after posting racist tweets should be rehired

  • [Joke about Vance sleeping on the couch.]

  • Red states create their own DOGE efforts to cut state government.

  • lol it's the Inflation Reduction Act that was signed while Biden was in office. It included a bunch of funding items, but notably it had money for transportation infrastructure across the nation. Whitmer ran on fixing the roads, but struggled to get funding with the GOP running the state legislature for the first part of her time as governor.
