And like folks here say, "August is the month of the mad dog" - my computer's motherboard decided to go kaput. I shouldn't be surprised, as it was more than a decade old.

No, seriously, that mobo was ancient. I remember when I bought it, my nephew's curiosity over what I was doing, he was crawling around me. Nowadays we joke that he looks like Shaggy - including the stubby beard.

I also went along and bought a new processor. The old one was as old as the mobo. I wish that I could've bought a new GPU but... well, bitcoin craze than AI craze means prices are salty. (Doubly so in Latin America.)
