Wait, are you telling me I can get rid of all my e-waste if I just stick a maga sticker on it and put it on Craigslist?

"Packard Bell Desktop Computer. 240 Mhz CPU, 128 MB Ram. Comes with Windows 95 installed. The sound card alone is worth $100. MAGA. Let's go Brandon. $1400. Will paint a custom 'TRUMP' logo on case for an extra $250."

In Castle Rock,CO?

Yeah, maybe.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Is that an 'interesting' area? I drove by once and thought the namesake was neat.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

There's a LAN party there every year. Seems about the best thing about it.

I inquired about why the Bustang that goes to to Colorado Springs doesn't stop in Castle Rock. The Bustang employee heavily implied it was because Castle Rock just refuses to allow transit riders in their city. Castle Rock rather have a taxi budget for old people then do any form of public transit.

There’s a sweet Renaissance festival every year there

Hike the Rock and have lunch somewhere (good taco trucks if you're ballin' on a budget) but the town is literally the wide spot with gas stations, a Kroger and a WalMart that supports some of the most disingenuous, new money, tacky-ass MAGA you'll ever meet. Just look up Douglas County politics and that's like the epicenter of the suburbs that create those politics.

Next two exits north are Castle Pines which is new-money MAGA bullshit to the extreme. I hate working for those people.

It's Steven King's movie/tv setting also, but just in name, I think in his stories it's in Maine. The Castle Rock TV series is amazing, season 2 is a prequel to Misery (1990).

I looked up the service tag (7YRPNS1) on Dell's site.

Good Lord why were they still releasing machines with 2gb of RAM with a 2nd gen core i3

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago (3 children)

To be fair, the computer is listed as having 500GB memory which is pretty insane

[–] Jtee 23 points 1 day ago

They probably just downloaded some RAM

[–] Pregnenolone 12 points 1 day ago

7, 500 actually.

It just has “windows”

[–] SkyezOpen 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wasn't the hard cap for 7 like 64gb? Anyway I'm imagining ram smashed into pci-e slots.

[–] evidences 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I was like 99% sure you were wrong because the 32 bit versions were limited to 4gb but looking up and yeah all the versions of 7 have a ram cap the depending on which SKU you were running. 192gbs was the max for 64 bit professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate. This is the full list for just Windows 7.

  • Windows 7 Starter 32-Bit 2GB
  • Windows 7 Home Basic 32-Bit 4GB
  • Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit 8GB
  • Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit 4GB
  • Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit 16GB
  • Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit 4GB
  • Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit 192GB
  • Windows 7 Enterprise 32-Bit 4GB
  • Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit 192GB
  • Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit 4GB
  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit 192GB

The top SKU for Windows Server 2008 r2, which was the server counterpart of Windows 7, supported up to 2tb of RAM.

[–] 9point6 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They did those starter sku users dirty

But yeah this was Microsoft's strategy for a while (and may still be): they attempted to push small business users to their server products for running servers by limiting the ram and core counts on the non-server skus.

[–] evidences 3 points 1 day ago

The ram ceiling is still there but the lowest it goes on any 64bit version of 10 or 11 is 128gbs. Anything SKU above the home versions can address at least 2tb of RAM, which is probably enough.

[–] makeshiftreaper 29 points 1 day ago

A pre-built tower with a disk drive and windows 7. I think you better call the Loch Ness Monster cuz you're only getting about three fitty for that

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Here I am feeling bad about selling equipment that's loud.

[–] toofpic 3 points 1 day ago

They just couldn't write that: "Dis birch go BRRRRahhh!", that would repel the target audience.
