That’s exactly what my physical therapist just told me

Instructions unclear, am pantsless and my back still hurts.

I wasn’t waitlisted. It took me just a few days to get through the reservation queue, apparently.

Took three days to go from list to reservation queue, then another four before getting the green light on placing my order.

The site informed me that shipping would be a bit slow given the volume of orders, and two days later, it’s ostensibly packed and awaiting transfer to the carrier.

The prices are exactly in line with what I expected, but I’m keenly aware of how availability and pricing of computer parts are currently affected by the LLM bubble.

Joke’s on you, I’ve already got crippling back pain before turning 45.

So? Guns are tools designed specifically for killing. What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China?

Did you iron out all your question marks?

The rate for your home PC is inconsequential, and the difference between a thin sheet of metal and lexan would have an inconsequential impact.

But flips are not inherently inconsequential. Coincidentally, a lot of my current work involves making sure we are not adversely affected by cosmic bit flips in safety-critical hardware.

Not only is the box under my desk with the window facing the wall, you are correct, I wouldn’t give a shit if it weren’t. I was simply noting the irony of my “professional” equipment being the most frivolous.

🤮

How bright were those LEDs?

It’s an interesting question, but realistically inconsequential.

If I already don’t give a shit, why would I bother?

No, I don’t have useless LEDs in my computer. My gaming rig is actually in a flat black case that blends in with the furniture.

Except my employer shipped me a dev box with a big polycarbonate window and an unnecessarily beefy GPU with RGB LEDs that dance by default. 🤦
