@phillycreamchs okay, hear me out. You know how they make cheese slice singles? What if you did that so I don’t need a utensil to spread on a bagel?

@dmimno Damn near every time I try to find an answer to something on SO it’s either way out of date or wrong. ChatGPT is wrong a lot too, but at least I don’t have to sift through 10lbs of shit to find the wrong answer.

@giveu2tictacs @JoeBiden When I worked at Best Buy they made me sign a non-compete. When I was hired on at La Madeleine’s (Dallas based cafe) they made me sign a non-compete. They were both largely unenforceable, but they exist and really shouldn’t, especially for low level employees.

@DisketteG @jackanerd @Braun_SL @jamesrtyrrell @SwiftOnSecurity Donate the equipment AND the costs of shipping to a needy school, or have them recycled and donate equipment that was at least made in the last decade to the needy school. I’m gonna say the latter is a better option.

[Jarred @JarredRobertsTX]

@DisketteG @jackanerd @Braun_SL @jamesrtyrrell @SwiftOnSecurity So the argument is moot, they aren’t of value, and need to be recycled.

@DisketteG @jackanerd @Braun_SL @jamesrtyrrell @SwiftOnSecurity The Core 2 Duo from 2006 that were available in those Macs were 2.16GHz (2.33 as an upgrade), only two cores, and weren’t hyperthreaded. But if you find them to still have value, definitely reach out to the school and get them before they hit the dumpster.

[Jarred @JarredRobertsTX]

@jackanerd @DisketteG @Braun_SL @jamesrtyrrell @SwiftOnSecurity Yeah, I’m all for using equipment WAY longer than it was intended, but those computers are too outdated. Like, I wouldn’t put anything with DDR3 or earlier into use at my office.

[Jarred @JarredRobertsTX]

@DisketteG @jackanerd @Braun_SL @jamesrtyrrell @SwiftOnSecurity So a 32bit Core Duo that maxed out at around 2GHz and had at most 4GBs of DDR2 memory? Sounds like a straight up powerhouse of a computer, you should buy them from the school.

[Jarred @JarredRobertsTX]

@DisketteG @jackanerd @Braun_SL @jamesrtyrrell @SwiftOnSecurity They could be G5 iMacs that still had a PowerPC processor in them.

[Jarred @JarredRobertsTX]

@SwiftOnSecurity People forget that Intel based Macs work with Windows, but Jesus, those G5 iMacs are damn near 20yrs old. It’s time to recycle and get new equipment.

[Jarred @JarredRobertsTX]

@Plebius2004 @VotingVetInPA @metzgov Probably learned how to spell revolutionary.

@adamconover @jean_twenge When I was of HS age, I didn’t want to have a job because people weren’t living longer. It was because I knew that after high school I would need to have enough experience to have a job so I wouldn’t be homeless. These kids are likely to be homeless anyway, so why work hard?

[Jarred @JarredRobertsTX]

@adamconover @jean_twenge I’d be willing to bet that many of the differences are deeply tied to economic inequalities.
