No she didn't

She's said she's voting for Kamala but that this is not the same as an endorsement by Chappell Roan ®™©

But people heard the words "problems on both sides" and deliberately took it completely out of context and have been bullying her about it for weeks

Is it time for me to get a whole new pc, or is there anything I can salvage from this one? in c/[email protected]

Thanks for checking on the basics. I do have and use compressed air but I literally had no idea that my TV had a gaming mode, which I've just discovered it does

The RAM I bought was recommended by a friend but perhaps they didn't know they had to match idk.

I appreciate the order of priorities, that helps a lot

Thanks for this. I'm not 100% against learning how to build my own, it's more that the more I read the more confused I get about what order to prioritise upgrades and the various knock on effects everything has. I appreciate you coming up with an order to go about things

Ah I understand, thanks

So is the motherboard the best thing to use as The Thing I Keep and level up everything else to meet its ability?

I'll Google "what does a home server do" and get back to you, ha

Very kind of you I use it for everything (I've edited the post to give more info) so I'm not against spending a few grand (UK£) if now is the right time to do so. If it's not the right time then I'm trying to work out what I can replace that will be compatible and easy for a noob to install I guess

Sorry, I'm being a noob, but what does "upgrade everything to max spec" mean? Does that mean to replace everything, in which case are you suggesting it's time for a whole new rig?

I'm currently using my TV as monitor because I use the pc for everything, I don't watch regular TV and anything I do watch I stream. Is using a TV as a monitor a bad thing?

I'm not very tech savvy so please bear with me.

I bought a premade in 2018 and I've only updated the graphics card and ram since then. I'm using a 55" Samsung TV as a monitor. It's really starting to get sluggish/finicky. Gaming example: it can run BGate3 on medium but starts having issues any higher.

  • Processor: Intel Core i3-8100 Coffee Lake CPU, 4 Cores, 3.6GHz
  • Graphics Card NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8gb
  • CPU Cooler: Intel Stock CPU Cooler
  • Motherboard: ASUS Z370-P Motherboard
  • Memory: 8GB DDR4 2400MHz Memory (2 x 4GB Sticks) + Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G36C16U4B 3600 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Memory Kit, 16GB (8GB x2), CL16, Black
  • Hard Drive: Seagate 2TB Firecuda Hybrid Hard Disk

EDIT for more info

It's hooked up to my TV because I use it for everything from simple browsing, YouTube, streaming TV/movies, to gaming. For games the most taxing is something like BG3, but I can't think of anything else in terms of taxing programmes.

I don't think I'd have a use for it if I kept it. Even if I kept the hard drive I'd have to research How and What To Save To Which Drive On Your PC, but if that's what y'all recommend then I can.

I'm not against investing a few grand if it's the right money spent at the right time, if that makes sense? My worry about changing individual parts is the standard worries about installation and compatibility, but if it's too soon to be changing the whole rig then I can get over that

Advice for managing folding table legs (lemmy.world)
 

Noob here

I have a wooden sheet of plywood that acts as a protective topper for an outdoor bath tub (don't ask). I'm looking for a way to add folding legs to the underside that will rest in the bath tub when the topper is on, and fold out to form a table sitting alongside the bathtub while it's in use

I just noticed that when I look at a game which I know nothing about and Steam says "Mostly Positive" I tend to immediately get suspicious

Silly Q: How do you browse TTRPG Discords? Forums are so much easier (lemmy.world)
 

Whenever I enter a discord it's like walking in halfway through ten conversations happening all at once.

Unless you go all-in and follow everything being said like you would a personal/private discord, how do you navigate them?

E.g I can search for "cleric" and try and parse the latest conversations but it's janky

No one is on Lemmy because they like shitty corps so I need your help

I'm at a loss. Increasingly whenever I order New on eBay or wherever, the order gets fulfilled by Amazon.

When I complain to the site I bought it from they shrug.

I'm regularly paying more for items and still funding an undeniably awful company
