Also if you buy it in bulk (no packaging) shipping is free.

Sometime ago I went to a friend's house and they had that exact product, but it was a pre-melted version. Saves a lot of time. We used it to make all kinds of drinks.

A good place to start is probably Usenet. Else, there are some forums and imageboards on i2p. Also, 4chan allows writting, but content gets overwritten fast.

He touched floating point chips? Like an old 80387?

So is it recommended to pirate this instead of buying on steam?

I will wait to know if it's Linux compatible before I buy

What's gonna happen to me if I don't use that feature?

I've almost seen zero ads in about 15 years. I use all the types of adblockers: browser extensions and dns-based. I don't use traditional TV or movie theatres. I don't read printed magasines. So really, really close to no ads in 15 years. Yesterday I went to the fueling station with my car: there was nobody else. They changed the station so now, there's screens showing ads and really loud audio. Since there was nobody else, I could hear all 8 pump's ads screaming at the same time. It was really dystopian and overstimulating. I only managed to put like 5 litres and I couldn't stand it, I was screaming at the screen to stop shouting at me. I did pay my 5 litres that I put in, but I left for another gas station. I will never return to that one, which was my usual one.

In my experience, sites that don't work with Firefox are really rare. Or maybe if it doesn't work with Firefox, I just close the tab and go do something else...

There's a mistake. It's 2800MHz, which is 5600MT/s.

I selected my cases very carefully. Once I have them, I never change them. I have 4 computers. My oldest case is from 1997 and my newest is this one from 2007. One of them has had 4 different systems in it. I can't think of any reason to buy a new case if it still fits the needs.

 

Some pictures of a build from last year. I replaced a file server that was in reliable operation since 2007, seeing no hardware failures. Its purpose is to store file backups from the network. With only 4,5TB available, it was constantly getting full. It was also loud and power hungry, so I decided that the best option was a complete replacement. I hope the new one is as trouble free as the old!
