I thought it was one more lane on the ring road to solve traffic

If you can learn to talk with your throat like a ventriloquist, it’s pretty easy to hold a conversation with the dentist.

Wooooow. Glad someone let me know before I paid $40 for it

Not completely free though since lots of features are locked behind a paywall

I add an extra row and column of apps on the home screen, and make the icons bigger so there’s less space between. And bump up the text size since my eyes are getting older.

That was/is the best part of Nova launcher. Highly customizable, but not laggy or slow

I’m guessing 40cm x40cm based on the measurements on the small plate

It’s probably on a hands free mount rolling at the camera angle.

However, it’s still illegal to have video playing within view of the driver, so he’s still breaking the law

That work is already done by computers (the cash registers at the local store). For what you’re are suggesting, the added workload would very much be manual human work to physically change the price tags on every item whenever the local, county, or state tax rates change.

you’d print the labels at the store wouldn’t you?

No.

At least the large corporations I’ve worked at, no.

Price updates were printed at HQ or local distro center and shipped with the weekly shipment. Sale stickers and new isles/planograms too.

Those items you mentioned are taxes at the state or federal level so there are only 51 different tax rates to keep track of. Sales tax can vary from city to city as some municipalities have an additional sales tax.

Just to save the heartache, acetone vapor does not work with pla.

No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap. 2012-2013 would be my bare minimum, usb3 if only for loading a new OS.

Lol the 3gb 1060s kinda were ewaste tho

The I7 has hyper threading which is a ~50% perf boost over the i5

Serious question, why haven’t you upgraded to an i7 yet? They’d have to be super cheap at this point, right?

Couple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards

Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.

matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.

It’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.

If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.

If you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.

A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.
