CSB: Years ago when my kid was in after school care I fixed a couple of their busted PCs. Nothing major, just made sure the hardware was OK, reinstalled Windoz, and then installed some FOSS games on them. I had enough stuff from the work scrapheap and mine to make a third. Kids loved it. I was a very-local semi-celebrity.

Just because the hardware doesn’t make the cut for heavy work doesn’t mean it cannot handle the needs of others.

That’s a lot of stuff but very to what I end up adding to the generic garlic/basil sauce I usually buy.

Definitely going to try adding Tapatio, cinnamon, and more paprika.

Small trucks cannot be imported into the US due to the Chicken Tax. American companies will not build small trucks because they like the profits from large SUVs and trucks.

I buy the cheap store brand stuff and flavor at home. Spices, fresh garlic, a little sauteed onion.

LOL. I complained so much to support about removing dog shit from a vacuum they sent me another to shut up.

It is a very cheap model that randomly wanders around.

Want to see crazy used car prices? Look at small Toyota trucks in southern California. The prices are insane because many people want a small basic truck for work. The 22R and 22RE engines live long and if they do die it is easy to source a rebuilt engine.

I went this route. I don’t need something powerful to scroll Lemmy and watch downloaded TV/movies.

Made sure it had two display port outputs for dual monitors. Added another 16GB of RAM because why not. It is way more than I need. Probably could have gotten away with used micro PC.

I also have a NAS and micro PC “server.”
