Someone want to make computer decisions for me?
Cuddly Cactus
I think my surface might be trying to die. it's been struggling a lot lately.
Cuddly Cactus
my laptop is kind of here and there. I think a total reimage might be what it needs
Cuddly Cactus
and I should probably get rid of the Linux partitian because it's not like I use it
Cuddly Cactus
but if that doesn't work I should think about a new computer
Cuddly Cactus
I want to play around more with projection mapping and stuff and if that's a thing I want to seriously do my laptop doesn't have the chops to handle it anyway
Cuddly Cactus
so I should probably build a desktop but specking out parts just seems like *so much work"
Cuddly Cactus
I do have a friend who would probably do it for me though because she finds it fun
Cuddly Cactus
I will say that Linux partitian saved me exactly once

from a really unreasonable computer engineering professor

that said one of my two new (used) nook colors showed up today! so I can grab that from the mail room when I get home.
Cuddly Cactus
but then it's like....what if I built an LED video wall... just because
Cuddly Cactus
looking at adafruit tutorials is dangerous for me
Cuddly Cactus
it's about to get extra dangerous because nook 1/2 arrived today
Cuddly Cactus
which means I can finally read all my eboosk

build one, lots of resources on reddit
Cuddly Cactus
there's an adafruit tutorial

PC part picker will make sure all your stuff is compatible
(•─•)/")
you'll have it together in an afternoon. doing all the drivers is the longest part easy
Cuddly Cactus
oh wait you meant a computer not an LED wall haha
(•─•)/")
only thing is watch out for gpus they are high right now because of crypto currency mining, look at historical price trends and shop around
(•─•)/")
yes that I'm slow on moble. idk build the led wall too but you gotta run it off something
Cuddly Cactus
lol this is true
Cuddly Cactus
gonna try and bring my laptop back to reasonable life first. it's actually a decently heavy hitter.
Cuddly Cactus
it's done lots of cad and projections stuff for me in the past.
Cuddly Cactus
and computer is on the back burner at least until I get back from vacation
Cuddly Cactus
turns out letting updates run was a mistake
