  • Yeah, I always found it weird when people would act like they have it so cushy. On a material comfort level, sure, but on basically every other level it sounds awful. You couldn’t pay me to put myself or my children through that.

    Footballers who get paid a packet and can then vanish into obscurity if they so choose? That sounds like the good life.

    Hard pass on the gilded cage thing. I’m no monarchist, so now that the single nationalised granny initiative is over I’m wondering whether we’ll keep them. Inertia will probably keep it going for a while yet. Transitioning away from them seems like it’d probably somehow be even more expensive and troublesome than living with them. A bit like trying to totally rid a large building of mice.









  • I assume it was made to upsell people to better CPUs. Celerons have always been awful.

    That said, if Win7 came preinstalled then we’re talking about different eras of Celeron, at least, I cannot imagine it would be as mediocre as a low-mid AMD CPU from 2004!

    I always think of an ex of mine defending criticism of her craptop. “It was good for its time!” No, no it wasn’t. It was built around a Celeron. It was built to be trash. It was ewaste with extra steps.
