what computer are you using

Posted by Boss - April 13th, 2021


i never thought much about how different models of computers are neat, but i guess the romanticization of old computers makes me appreciate more of regular computers for what they are. i guess in a way maybe it could be a security issue or vulnerability to disclose what model youre using because then someone could guess other stuff about your system? im guessing its less of a big deal than people accidentally posting how their computer directory is configured


im using a semi old elitebook. i am gonna have to get a new laptop someday soon(ish?) since i have windows 7 on this homey machine and thats phased out. i met people who have super old computers like original PCs from the late 70s and 80s and like old apple IIs and i was like damn. thats really dope. i think the simplicity of old computers can also make complicated shit like programming more interesting. its a little easier to wrap your head around it when you know a little bit about how its 1s and 0s and codes to make the letters appear and logic gates and stuff instead of a vague, complicated thing

Windows 10

Laptop with an i3 7020 and Intel HD graphics 620 if I'm not wrong, it does the work

a rectangle powered by a 1030, a i5 10th gen, love and duct tape to keep it from exploding

Asus x970-plus, Ryzen 7 3700x, Gigabyte 3070. Samsung 1tb m.2. Sounds like overkill... well it is, but mostly got it to make my job easier. Let's just say I didn't care about graphics that much until just recently, though. I used to think windows 7 was great but 10 has been updated to be far superior at this point. Though I still think CRTs can be cool and old tech looks much cooler.

idrk, actually.. i think i had a windows 7 until windows 8 released, then the computer updated, then windows 10 was released, and it updated again. Also, remember me?

Yes! You are awesome

uh 7 year old chromebook...

I'm about done with Windows (laptops). Sick of BSOD galore and their forced updates that just make their service sh*ttier. If it wasn't for agnostic compatibility I would be full Linux & Apple right now. Not that I'm a fan of the latter.

Older systems are more stable. And it's not that it makes programming a more restrictive challenge per-se, as old systems handle higher level languages fine, it's just the modern engines and media intensive stuff that requires high-end specs. No need to get down to assembly level unless you're trying to optimize embedded stuff or found a niche area that C++ native code can't explicitly handle.
