    Which 4th May is this from? Because if it’s from 2007 then that’s a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it’s from last month then I really hope he’s only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.

      Well, the x1950 Pro is from Oct 2006 but Grindr didn’t launch until March 2009. And I don’t know if it launched with the iconic colours but I don’t remember any other colours and I do remember using Grindr in 2010. Not sure about 2009.

      I mean it’s from at least roughly back when ATi was a thing

      That’s actually kind of sad.

      I remember doing a ton of stuff on my core 2 Duo iMac with 2gb ram.

      Sure, you won’t be playing cyberpunk, but it ran all the creative suite apps, a few games, and I did a ton of image editing, made movies, and did programming on it.

        My 2007 MacBook (white plastic) had a Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. For my first MacBook it was a perfectly usable laptop, but boy did it drop off a cliff fast. Tried putting Linux on it a while back, but it didn’t want to know.

        Meanwhile, the 2011 MacBook I replaced it with (Core i7, 16GB RAM) is running Mint like a dream.

      ATI graphics sucked ass on Linux. Back then nVidia was recommended due to their superior drivers.

      I don’t know what you guys are talking about?
      I’ve used an old laptop with Windows 11 (just because I wasn’t supposed to) which had Core 2 Duo T7500 (upgraded from T7100), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, but with an SSD rather than HDD. Pretty usable with that thing.

      Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.

        Pretty usable with that thing.

        Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.

        So pretty usable until windows 11 broke it?

        Probably the faulty nvidia die substrate issue. I’m amazed it lasted this long, most of those chips died long ago.

      Considering the rest of his specs, it’s ridiculous overkill.

        It is circumference. And thickness >>> length.

    Seagate never made a 512GB HDD at least that I can find.

    • ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Now, now, I’m sure the first guy was “enhancing” his own specs a little bit, too. We all do it.

      That said, there are some arguably similar drives listed at 500 GB capacity on ebay. But it’s not the size of the disk, it’s the gesticulation of the allocation.

      source
      • daggermoon@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I have several 500gb hdd’s. I’ve never seen one labled 512 gb. Only micro sd cards and SSD’s. If they did exist, I’d suspect they were either IDE or SAS.

      Im almost positive they did, i had one in my core 2 quadro machine iirc, but it was 7200rpm not 5400.

        What? No tons of desktop drives were this way too. I mean yes WD RE style drives were fantastic but WD black was always the way to go back in mechanical days. They were for desktop.

    But what’s the radius of the balls?

    source
  • state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    ~5 inches thick means the circumference, I assume? Because a ~12cm diameter sounds rather uncomfortable.

    source
    • gmtom@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Seems like a pretty normal girth to me?

      It’s the radius.

      source
    • thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think they just didn’t use a comma. My guess is it means “it’s 4.9 inches long, it’s thick, and it’s circumcised”
