I expect to see that kind of image in Australia, not France

Labor with the NDIS amendments. Some of it is nothing short of cruelty.

Many disabled people feel they have nothing to lose…take away the social and community participation budget, that’s a big aspect of enjoyable life gone for them. They’re clear; they’ll put Labor last and it doesn’t matter what’s said to them in regards to the conservatives being worse…they have to deal with what’s happening in front of them that’s real, not what may or may not under future incompetent conservative governments.

Some people were better off with NDIS plans under the conservatives. Whatever peoples take from that might be (and it’s generally misinformed by my experience, being a plan manager and carer) that’s a fact for many, and it’s enough for people with nothing to lose to put Labor last, on what’s happening in front of them.

Go take a look around the discussion with disability advocates and you’ll see what’s going on. There’s not a lot of love for Labor among the unemployed and their advocacy either. Remember, as I said these are people with not a lot to lose so they’ll vote based on how they’re being treated.

That doesn’t reflect how I may or may not vote either, just how it is.

Yeah pretty much been voting Green for many years now. It’s crazy; so many people saying we have no decent alternatives yet the Greens have the policy platform pretty much everyone who makes these complaints are chasing.

My seat is firmly conservative so my strategy is to focus on the Senate with the view of it holding the government to account in a progressive fashion as much as they can. What those Green senators do in that regard is precisely why I vote them in.

Its discussions like this one that make me want to pull apart all the old desktops lying around here and seeing if I can build a true old hybrid clunker

This has made my day ay

That’s really impressive

I hope that drive goes full 2002 Corolla mode and lasts forever.

That’s impressive. I usually get six, seven years tops. Fuck that’s impressive

I have a Dell Inspiron I bought about eight years ago which I’m still managing to keep going. I’ve replaced the RAM and pulled the old 710 out of it and put in a 1070 I think it is which maxes this thing out. So far I’ve had issues with just the RAM and the SATA cable, which I’ve replaced. When Win10 runs out, if it’s still churning along I’ll install a Linux distro.

I’ve run TBC, AutoCAD LT and 12d Model on it, with no issues and that was on the 710 but as I say, you wouldn’t run these with five windows open and doing heaps of reductions on several models.

My old Win7 laptop is still going…I’m targeting it for a Linux do over soon as well.

Hahahaha hey it can be quite frustrating at times, especially working under or with senior blokes whose equipment and software is so old Noah used it to set his wooden ship out

But yes, a lot of us really only need a small card to take on middling tasks to keep the processor clear, so to speak. That’s not the case however for the design people in the industry, they need the cards you’d want.

Yeah it’s a big concern. Im in Queensland as well.

The worry for us is we have no Senate in our state government and you can already see how much damage Crisafulli is doing with that. Hanson would fuck this state forever and this is where she’s from.

Unreal ay? How long did these southern states put shit on us, yet they’re now idolising the worst of Queenslanders in Hanson and Joyce, owned by the biggest grub of a slob the country has in a WA mining magnate who in turn is owned by an American pedophile who shits himself in public and falls asleep.

The fuck happened to us? Seriously, Hoges comment calling Hanson a pelican was the biggest punch anyone’s been able to lay on the rotten orange cunt of a thing.

Edited: added ‘an American’

Yeah okay

There are people in my industry still adequately using Win XP machines running old Sokkia software

I’d be able to use this more than adequately with a number of older softwares still available and more than capable for the tasks I outlined. I’m a surveyor, not a video renderer or gamer. I said if I needed the power you are talking about, I’d not use this card.

Almost 400k kilometres and no signs of dying

Painted the bonnet myself

Owned it for three years and have added almost 100k myself

Service it myself except brakes and steering for obvious reasons

Paid $1900 AUD and put about a grand into it, including everything

Does every single thing I want it to and should do for another four years

Yeah nah, the 8 gig would be fine with lower end applications. I’d be able to calc up a house on a low powered version of AutoCAD or the like, produce a dxf, go set the thing out and spit out the pdf and setout file. I had no dramas dong this on stuff far less powered than this.

I’d actually have no issues drawing up a few things. No, if I was a planner in a consultancy designing estates or high rise or working with stuff that required full capabilities I wouldn’t be running this but it’d be fine for a sole operator surveyor doing small stuff like house set outs and topos et al. It’d even be fine for cadastral work.

This would be fine for running some lower powered CAD applications.

I’d put this in a work machine that ran survey software like Trimble Business Center or an older version of AutoCAD maybe. Probably run 12d fine.

But yeah probably not a full gaming machine.
