New comment by the4anoni in "The tech monoculture is finally breaking"

the4anoni — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:10:41 +0000

I'm in my 20's now, graduated secondary school (as IT Technician). In meantime cured marrow aplasia.

I love 2000's era (especially tech, but music too). I think almost everything about 2000's tech was superior, from hardware to software. Things were solid, build to last. Software had clean, simple user interface. The user was invited, not forced to do something. For me nothing can beat philosophy of XMB (XrossMediaBar).

I don't know how to find my way in all this IT thing now. Never liked programming, what always intetested me was hardware and IT administration. But every day I wake up it just gets worse. IaC, SaaS, software is worse than ever before. And don't forget hardware speculations.

In 2000's tech was so easy, now it's just annonying, harder and obfuscated with every day.

I miss 2000's simplicity.

5950x, 1050 Ti I am still using Windows 7! (Alongside with latest Linux Mint for actual important stuff).

Unfortunately now the quality of software is only going downhill.

DS games didn't even worked with WPA.

Only DSi Enchanced and 3DS games supported WPA2 at best. Your best bet is using older router with OpenWRT to make WPA3 to WEP bridge.

+1, tell us more.

Personally back in the days I had Nintendo DSi, but just recently I bought gamepad for phone just to check what I have missed by not owning PSP at that time :)

Refurbished laptops can be superior in comparison to cheap Bestbuy laptops. These old laptops are often much more solid built, have better keyboards, may even have better screens (FYI brand new laptops with cheap TN 1366x768 screens are still manufactured).

Good refurb definitely should have an SSD and battery at least in good condition.

For me It was somehow obvious "they need to make money on something", and it doesn't surprise me at all that they are inserting own affiliate links. Would I call this scam? No, I wouldn't. Firstly I thought they started to genuinely deploy malware or some crypto-coin miner.

Man, This looks really awesome! However I have some questions. 1. Do you plan CPU overclocking of your gaming rigs? I'm asking because on so many PCs it doesn't seem realistic, so why did you go with 13600KF CPU instead of cheaper 13500/13600 non-K CPU? Also, If you don't plan overclocking didn't you through about going with cheaper B760 Motherboard + 10Gbit/s NIC? 2. Why did you choosed so slow memory? These i5 can benefit a lot in gaming from fast memory such as 7200MT/s+. 6000MT/s CL30 would probably be at same price as your kit, while providing nice performance boost in games. 3. How does Key rollover work for you on K120? Can you use Shift + W + 1 key combo for example? Just asking, because some people on Internet say such combo won't work on later batches of K120.

In this setup what I really appreciate is that you didn't go with Virtualized PCs route (that causes a lot of problems with modern video games) and so much amemities for your cat :)

I agree, that's why I am daily driving Samsung Galaxy S10 (exynos version) on LineageOS.

I miss 2010-2015 smartphone market, it was much more innovative than it's now :(

US site pricing doesn't include taxes, keep that in mind.

Their pricing is similar between Poland and UK, especially when you consider taxes. Poland X-Kom: 1 649,00 zł scan.co.uk: £323.99 (1 636,33 PLN)

(All credits for this finding go to mat_swat user from IThardware.pl forum)

PL: https://web.archive.org/web/20240714065739/https://www.samsu...

On Polish Samsung site same SSD (990 Pro 4TB) is advertised with TBW of 1200TB, while on US and UK sites 2400TB.

As can be found on this screenshot (use google translate) https://forum.ithardware.pl/uploads/monthly_2024_07/Samsung-...

Samsung claims this is not an error on their site, and devices for different markets may have different specs.
