That's really cool. Are they held snug? Will they fall out?

Is it possible the hard drive is failing in the old one? I don't know what the operating system would do if download speed surpassed write speed, but once it couldn't hold it in ram any longer waiting to write I guess it would have to throttle it.

The bandwidth of a network card would generally outclass your internet connection by an order of magnitude.

Gigabits per second network cards have been standard for at least a decade.

And then there's your wifi too, if applicable, but even that is much faster than your general internet connection, unless you're far from your router. A new laptop might help you get a better wifi signal, if it had a newer wifi protocol or stronger radio, but that's also going to depend on your router.

But in front of all of that is going to be your modem. Depending on the quality of your modem that might be a bottleneck.

A new laptop, even the best in the world, won't make your downloads any faster.

I also back what everyone else is saying. Unless of course you can update your current laptop. What have you got? An extra stick of ram and an SSD can make an old laptop feel brand new, especially with an OS reinstall

Jesus Christ is not my Lord and saviour. I demand you delete this post immediately and apologise. This is as insulting to me as pineapple on a pizza

I don't know how to do the fancy thing you guys do. But at least I got this one. Last try and really wasnt sure it was a word. Fuck yesterday though! Combined with today's I thought I'd been picked up by some sort of anti cheat system and was being fucked with!

I don't know what I want. Something really basic? But then why not just but an e-bike? I initially thought a ct110 type bike, but what advantage does that have over a push bike? I'm not sure any more. Maybe I just want something I can afford and justify to my family.

What games do you make? If you're actively working on games that are anti dark pattern then that's the type of game I want to hear about

Perth definitely used to. I feel there might have been one in Subiaco but the last time I went there would have 20 odd years ago. The one in Chatswood that closed either late last year or earlier this year. I guess it's a declining business

My wife cooked a lentil loaf yesterday, which tonight we're having the leftovers of with some leftover steak. I'm not normally much of a lentil loaf sorta person but by Christ it was tasty.

 

Nethack is now 36 years old, still in development, runs on windows, Linux, Apple and a multitude of other systems. You can run it in a console, remotely, if you don't have the ability to install or download to your computer. It's complex, difficult, entertaining and will soak up any free time you have.

I've played it on and off for a decade now and never made it past half way and have always learnt something new.
