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.

Edit: nice dick tho

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago

You remember using Grindr? Hah, gay

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Good thing that was the giveaway, and not the "nice dick" edit, because I'd like to point out that it's perfectly normal to compliment an acquaintance's dick or give it a suck.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

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

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

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.

Or he’s just saying he’s an older gentleman

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago

A gentleman using a Core 2 Duo rig from a more civilised age.

[-] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Old enough to be someone's father or grandfather

[-] Shawdow194@fedia.io 80 points 6 months ago

Those are like espresso machine specs nowadays

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Buddy I have less than that I'm so fukken done... I'm bout to go to hexbear mutual aid and beg for some buck to get a new pc...

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 9 points 6 months ago

Could be a perfectly good FreeBSD box!

Intel Core 2 Duo? 4 GB DDR3 RAM?

Cretaceous period intensifies

[-] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago

That was my home server specs til February. Upgraded to a third gen i5 and 8gb ram

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago

oh god what the fuck you ran windows fucking 11 on it??? i have no words

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 months ago

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?

I wouldn't have gotten that far. That utter savage can't even tell the difference between MT/s and MB/s.

[-] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 31 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I know you're supposed to say size doesn't matter and I don't want to be mean, but really... 4GB DDR3 RAM? 🤣 🤣 🤣

[-] SGforce@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 months ago

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

I hope this is a really old meme, otherwise I fell bad for my bro.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 6 months ago

Not sure if you meant to write "feel", but it is too late now.
Maybe you should get in touch 😏

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago

Pretty sure that set up and this guy both sucked before Grindr launched.

[-] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Eww 5400 rpm hdd, even in the year here the pc is new is a hard no (also the drive would be 500 gb not 512 that’s an ssd thing not mechanical drives typically). 7200 rpm and highest cache amount possible please

...what year is this???

[-] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Intel

Okay off to a bad start.

Core 2 Duo

Ok boomer.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

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

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months 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.

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

You completely forgot to mention it runs Arch

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That is implied.

The Arch is slightly to the left.

That X1950 pro and Core 2 Duo are pretty awesome if the year is 2007. 5400rpm HDD lets it down a bit though.

I can strapolate his other stats based on these

[-] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

I can strapolate all the stats are what he made up in his head

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

Also, HMU with Blue's profile. I want to get some work out tips from him.
