“$35 hobby toy”

Well yeah, cheap drones can be used for war, but that’s not all drones really are:

Are you alright? Is everything okay at home? Trying to hurt random people on the internet seems like a bad coping mechanism.

gambling is rigged

emphasis on the soldiers part but alright

plus, in war casualties are what matters. I’m only looking at this from a strategic perspective, not a humanitarian one.

Not “lots of”, more Russian soldiers died than Ukrainians, as is typical for this conflict.

UPDATE (putting this in a separate reply so you’ll see it): So I just dusted the laptop again, it actually performs somewhat well, turns out my first pass where I also changed the thermal paste didn’t get all the dust.

EDIT: This probably won’t hold, I’ve been seeing some γαμάτα deals for newer ThinkPads here lately.

had a Ryzen laptop that was really good, except it did not have the thermal capacity to maintain a workload, and would throttle itself all the way down to 600Mhz

something something NBLK-WAX9X.

I don’t think it’s the processor, I suspect you either have a configuration issue, or a thermal budget limitation.

i have no idea what it is. I have tried everything.

I was originally planning on getting a Surface Pro 11 or other ARM laptop as my next laptop, but one day I was thinking about an old CLEVO P150HM1 which tore everything apart, and outperforms my 2015 T450, while being made in 2009. Needless to say, I got a lot more tolerant of the idea of buying an X86 laptop as my new laptop. I also realised that the price range an SP11 involved also allowed for a Framework Laptop 13. I’m saying all this to not conflict with the rest of my comment history, but in summary: Long live the Framework!

Wait why are you compiling on battery?

power strip died and i hadn’t realised.

In what way? My wife plays minecraft with several hundred mods on a (desktop) i5-4560

different cpu. I’m talking about the i5-5300U specifically. Not some other i5 of the era. Also, this doesn’t really matter but you’re addressing 4th and 6th gen, while the i5-5300U is, obviously, 5th gen.

well, the i5-5300u definitely is, at least for my use cases. it took so long to compile a diesel-actix rust project that the battery died before it finished (it was at 100%), and it can’t even run fucking Minecraft. even a raspberry pi can run Minecraft!

here it’s typically early-to-mid 2010s thinkpads being sold, so you’re probably getting a laptop with horrible performance

any in greece?

They don’t ship to where I live ¯_(ツ)_/¯
