For instance, I have a crappy MT76 based device which works fine with the proprietary (outdated), license-breaking kernel build of OWRT. I built a latest-OSS-support mt76 kernel for it and flashed that.

…and now it’s only working via TTL because the switch firmware (probably a damn clone) is causing oopses.

It’s about 4x better than my existing router, but can I be arsed enough to work on it?

Some shitty Fujitsu computer, though decently spec’ed.
i7-4770
16GB RAM
3x Benq 24-inch crappy monitors, but they work well
256GB SSD
1TB HDD

All in all fine for my usage.

I’m somewhat proud of my PC:

  • i5 7600k @4.4GHz
  • Cryorig R1 Universal
  • HyperX Savage 2x8GB 2800MHz
  • MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB
  • MSI Mortar Z270M
  • SilentiumPC Vero M1 600W

Peripherals:

  • Samson Go Mic - recommended, especially when you feel you don’t need C01U
  • DIY Mic Arm - Tertial lamp from IKEA
  • LG 23MP75HM-P - recommended - but I see it pulled out of production for some reason
  • Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro - somewhat recommended, especially for laptops - for PC get Xonar U5, it’s better. Before I bought this card I actually returned Xonar U5 due to Xonar not having drivers for W10. They should be available now.
  • SteelSeries APEX Gaming - not recommended [old series] - too big, too mushy, pseudo RGB splitted to 6 blocks (some block even have different colors)
  • SteelSeries Rival 100 czarna - not recommended - scroll likes to bug, side buttons feel so cheap that I have no comofr in using them - chepo A4Tech Bloody mouse feels better in hand than this
  • Pioneer A-204R - Speaker amp - working for 20 year and will work for another 20 years - around ~20W of real RMS per channel
  • Westra B&S 120 - Speakers - unique, you won’t find anything on Google about them. A limited quantity from local company, intended for export. They can be as old as I’m (if not older). Still holding very well. Membranes in perfect condition.

I have a main desktop computer which is nice, but honestly, since I got this Macbook I’ve used nothing but it…
Also suprised at myself because I went from 3-4 monitors to one small-ish laptop monitor

one thing that really does annoy me though… fuck me does the macbook get dirty/dusty… :frowning:

@notTom The trackpad gestures are heavenly…

Anyway, my PC is rocking an RX 480, 128 GB SSD for boot, 4 TB (1x 2 TB + 2x 1 TB) worth of spinning drives, a Thermaltake 600W “smart” PSU and an i3-8350K. I have 12 GB of RAM installed, but I have extras. Might give it away because I still haven’t needed the extra 4 GB.

Is that a workstation, or something that powers the user of the workstation?
