I built my first PC a long time ago, with an AM4 board. I upgraded to 5800x3d a while back. Why do I feel like I'm going to keep using this same motherboard until I die?

Don't worry, it didn't escape you for very long - he only just posted it on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ericidle.bsky.social/post/3m7m24fr6xc2v
Sorry, didn't know YouTube blocks external playback if a video is age restricted. Note that nothing horrible happens in the video, Eric just says "fuck". And then he says "fuck" again.
OBJECTION! Bananas are the most regal of fish.
It's my 10 euro/month that put them over the top
Yes, it improves quality of life across multiple metrics, but have you considered that the worst fucking people on Earth find it inconvenient?
No real technical advantage; it's just owned by the same shitbags that dominate the TV market, so it's the only way to connect to a lot of consumer living-room displays
I look forward to X, Tesla, and SpaceX switching to Windows (and permanently fucking off)
It has become my favorite editor, even though I don't need or want the AI stuff. They do something that I do quite appreciate, that I wish other apps (looking at you, Firefox) would do:
In the AI section of the settings, the first thing is a toggle that turns off all AI features.
Well, in normal operation, it's a very standard Android phone. The OS out of the box is vanilla android (although it's easy to put a custom ROM on if you want). The camera is fine but not spectacular - I still use a dedicated camera if I care about a picture, but it's fine for random snapshots. Basically, if it came in a white box that just said "phone" on it, it's what you'd expect to be inside, except for the fact you can take it apart and put it back together.
After using the 5 for a couple of years, I don't really have any complaints other than it's a bit too easy to double-tap the power button. The battery life has held up, and I still don't feel the need to swap it out yet.
On my FP2, I had to replace the screen. The way it happened was a good example for why repairable phones are good. It was broken but still usable, so I ordered the new screen, then swapped it out in a minute or so after it arrived; basically no downtime.
This is nice - I've been using Fairphones for a while: I started with a Fairphone 2 and used it for 7 years until the OS end-of-life, and now I'm on the Fairphone 5. Maybe with things being more open it can keep going for longer this time
