Yeah, I was decently interested in it until I found out the whole game won’t actually exist for years. Maybe I’ll get the bundle at a deep discount 8 years from now, assuming I even remember it exists.

He did

Apparently he lost an eye and the other is damaged.

Who still uses pagers?

Iran's ambassador to Lebanon (injured in pager explosion), apparently!

I'm not sure how much time you are given and how much 'hands on' is desired, but you could buy a bunch of cheap, old, used desktops (that all use the same parts) and teach the kids what the various parts do (CPU, GPU, motherboard, PSU, SSD, RAM). Then have them build the computers and install linux on them.

Maybe pre-wire the PSU to most of the parts to save time during the build day(s). You may also want to have the CPUs pre-installed so you don't get bent pins galore.

This entire idea would be massively benefited by a TA that could assist working with groups.

rising cost of living because politically, nobody really cares about the population

Well, interest rates were just raised to 19% in Russia. So good luck financing anything.

You can also buy a used 5xxx CPU and drop it into your current board. They aren’t terribly expensive on the used market. Check out the 5600 and 5600X.

Just make sure you update your bios first. A bunch of boards need it to run 5xxx chips.

Lol, capsule distributor apparently running a little high on stock!

I think they are mostly doing this as a stealth layoff. It's been a pretty popular strategy lately.

I was pretty pumped back when they announced the app store. I thought it was going to be more like a linux repo, but with optional paid items. I wanted a one-stop-shop for updating my computer.

Then it turned out it didn't support desktop apps (for a very long time) and had none of the advantages a linux repo has. Used it once, and realized I had already wasted too much of my life on it.

I enjoy how Amazon talks a big game about how great they are for the environment and their pledge to stop climate change, then they force workers to commute to the office who have been happily doing their jobs over the internet.

Unless you are retiring in the next decade, it is highly advisable to invest a 401k in the stock market. You get significantly higher returns over the long run. And any losses due to a recession are more than made up for by the significantly higher returns every other year.

When you are nearing retirement (5-10 years out), that is when you want to put the money into something safe and stable like bonds or CDs. That way if there is a recession as you retire, it won't affect your fund.
