forced him to be introspective, and forced him to figure out coping mechanisms on his own.
That's what I'm trying to get at. How many people are borderline enough that if they had to figure things out on their own wouldn't get diagnosed as an adult. Like I'm high functioning, but still too far in. But I've met a good number of people older than me that probably are autistic, but have learned to work with it.
Autism is a spectrum, and an Autism diagnosis is drawing a line in the sand.
I know my P1 gen 4 could be optioned for ECC ram, but that was if you bought the xeon version instead of the i9. But I thought ECC on laptops started with DDR4
Even then don't just assume. They may have some skeletons in the closet, and not just because Halloween is over.
700 tabs + VM?
At work I regularly kiss 32gb with everything open and a VM. When I got my latest machine I made sure to get 64 so I think I'll be good for a while. 32 gigs lasted me from 2017 to 2024. And if I need more this machine takes 2 SODIMMS so I can install at least 96 gigs.
That's how most things are in tech. Why reinvent the wheel when someone's already made it?
I personally love trying to break into any device running android and install our companies web crawler onto it. I almost got it working on my DJI drone remote. Sadly I don't think I'll be able to get into these Logitech Tap Scheduler things.
I think their confusion comes from OPs title.
Why is it "e-waste go brrrrrrr" when OP is presumably saying they're keeping this laptop out of the machine? _ machine go brr is a dumb meme in the first place, people using it the wrong way makes it even dumberer.
If you blindly trust it then yeah it will cause problems. But if you know what you're doing, but forget X or Y minor thing here and there, or just need some direction it's amazing.
Normies won't pay for this wtf are you smoking? They're just gonna let their computer not be up to date and not care.
Also in the event of a crash you don't become a projectile that kills someone else.
Yes, see below.
I'm not arguing that they're not autistic, I don't understand where you're getting. Just that they've learned to "mask" and they think it's normal, and they've gotten to the point that it's not something they're consciously doing. IE I had a speech impediment, I had a counselor work with me to fix it, I spent months consciously thinking about pronouncing it correct, and eventually it became the "normal" thing to do and required no thought. Eye contact has never been something I'm good at, but it no longer burns my soul to look into someones eyes. And if I need to be a good boy it takes almost 0 thought to maintain eye contact. It's now the "normal" thing to do.
