I want to tell the young people about what floppy disks are and why computers needed them and I'm from the 90s so I'm missing info on what came before it but from what I do know:

These bad boys are floppy disks in various sizes:

The plastic square is the outer casing and protects the small little disk inside that actually stores the data. Typically these would have like a built in fuzzy thing to keep dist off the disk.

When we think of computers, we think of zillions of codes working together so fluidly and quickly and they're able to operate tons of processes at once but a when computers were more new, they could only handle so much code at a time! Ye old computers were huge and clunky and could only tackle so much processing.

Think of them like babies- programmers could do tons with computers but the computers themselves could only store so much data!

And in fact we still use SD (storage disk) cards for computers and phones the same purpose.

That's where a floppy disk comes in! The computer would have a disk drive which would run whatever program was on the disk when you inserted it. That way you didn't clog your processing computer with code it couldn't handle.

You could also store files on the floppy disk so they didn't take up computer processing space.

Eventually we got much better at figuring out how to store data and instead of putting it on a tiny disk we made the disks bigger and CD ROMs were used for the same purpose.

Eventually when we got better at making storage smaller and easier to integrate, things like floppy disks and CD Roms wrre deemed no longer needed.l and their disk reader were omitted from most computers and laptops which is a shame!

Downloading apps is easy but you used to be able to own an actual physical copy of the thing you purchased so if your computer crashed and you couldn't get it back and had to buy a new one, you wouldn't have to pay for the program again, you'd already have a copy!

We used to have a photoshop disk that came with its own verification key and you could put it onto any computer you wanted with thw activation key with absolutely no subscription needed. One payment and your tool is yours permanently!

Likewise we can play our dvds from my old Toshiba because it still has a DVD and CD reader and the ancient 90s Dell can play old PC games because it has a CDRom reader!

Sometimes progress is great but the physical nature of the floppy disks and CD and DVDs are highly missed in today's digital based and gatekept society!

So anyways that's what floppy disks are.

Now when an old person glares at you youngins and says ha! Bet you dont know what this is! You can say why thats a floppy disk!

And if they say aha! But what's it for?

You can say IT WAS AN OLS VERSION OF STORING DATA AND PROGRAMS THE COMPUTER COULDN'T STORE ON ITS OWN BEFORE COMPUTWRS GOT FASTER ANS HAD BETTER STORAGE.

They will be so mad and so impressed.

Okay so let’s say you have a basement just full of different computers. Absolute hodgepodge. Ranging in make and model from a 2005 dell laptop with a landline phone plug to a 2025 apple with exactly one usbc, to an IBM.

And you want to use this absolute clusterfuck to, I don’t know, store/run a sentient AI! How do you link this mess together (and plug it into a power source) in a way that WONT explode? Be as outlandish and technical as possible.

Oh.

Oh you want to take Caine home with you, don't you! You want to make the shittiest most fucked up home made server setup by fucking daisy chaining PCs together until you have enough processing power to do something. You want to try running Caine in your basement, absolutely no care for the power draw that this man demands.

Holy shit, what have you done? really long post under cut.

Slight disclaimer: I never actually work with this kind of computing, so none of this should be taken as actual, usable advice. That being said, I will cite sources as I go along for easy further research.

First of all, the idea of just stacking computers together HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE!!! This is known as a computer cluster! Sometimes, this is referred to as a supercomputer. (technically the term supercomputer is outdated but I won't go into that)

Did you know that the US government got the idea to wire 1,760 PS3s together in order to make a supercomputer? It was called the Condor Cluster! (tragically it kinda sucked but watch the video for that story)

Now, making an at home computer cluster is pretty rare as it's not like computing power scaled by adding another computer. It takes time for the machines to communicate in between each other, so trying to run something like a videogame on multiple PCs doesn't work. But, lets say that we have a massive amount of data that was collected from some research study that needs to be processed. A cluster can divide that computing among the multiple PCs for comparatively faster computing times. And yes! People have been using this to run/train their own AI so hypothetically Caine can run on a setup like this.

Lets talk about the external hardware needed first. There are basically only two things that we need to worry about. Power (like ya pointed out) and Communication.

Power supply is actually easier than you think! Most PCs have an internal power supply, so all you would need to do is stick the plug into the wall! Or, that is if we weren't stacking an unknowable amount of computers together. I have a friend that had the great idea to try and run a whole ass server rack in the dormitory at my college and yeah, he popped a fuse so now everyone in that section of the building doesn't have power. But that's a good thing, if you try to plug in too many computers on the same circuit, nothing should light on fire because the fuse breaks the circuit (yay for safety!). But how did my friend manage without his server running in his closet? Turns out there was a plug underneath his bed that was on it's own circuit with a higher limit (I'm not going to explain how that works, this is long enough already).

So! To do this at home, start by plugging everything into an extension cord, plug that into a wall outlet and see if the lights go out. I'm serious, blowing a fuse won't break anything. If the fuse doesn't break, yay it works! Move onto next step. If not, then take every other device off that circuit. Try again. If it still doesn't work, then it's time to get weird.

Some houses do have higher duty plugs (again, not going to explain how your house electricity works here) so you could try that next. But remember that each computer has their own plug, so why try to fit everything into one outlet? Wire this bad boy across multiple circuits to distribute the load! This can be a bit of a pain though, as typically the outlets for the each circuits aren't close to each other. An electrician can come in and break up which outlet goes to which fuse, or just get some long extension cords. Now, this next option I'm only saying this as you said wild and outlandish, and that's WIRING DIRECTLY INTO THE POWER GRID. If you do that, the computers can now draw enough power to light themselves on fire, but it is no longer possible to pop a fuse because the fuse is gone. (Please do not do this in real life, this can kill you in many horrible ways)

Communication (as in between the PCs) is where things start getting complex. As in, all of those nasty pictures of wires pouring out of server racks are usually communication cables. The essential piece of hardware that all of these computers are wired into is the switch box. It is the device that handles communication between the individual computers. Software decided which computer in the cluster gets what task. This is known as the Dynamic Resource Manager, sometimes called the scheduler (may run on one of the devises in the cluster but can have it's own dedicated machine). Once the software has scheduled the task, the switch box handles the actual act of getting the data to each machine. That's why speed and capacity are so important with switch boxes, they are the bottleneck for a system like this.

Uhh, connecting this all IBM server rack? That's not needed in this theoretical setup. Choose one computer to act as the 'head node' to act as the user access point and you're set. (sorry I'm not exactly sure what you mean by connect everything to an IBM)

To picture what all of this put together would look like, here’s a great if distressingly shaky video of an actual computer cluster! Power cables aren't shown but they are there.

But what about cable management? Well, things shouldn't get too bad given that fixing disordered cables can be as easy as scheduling the maintenance and ordering some cables. Some servers can't go down, so bad management piles up until either it has to go down or another server is brought in to take the load until the original server can be fixed. Ideally, the separate computers should be wired together, labeled, then neatly run into a switch box.

Now, depending on the level of knowledge, the next question would be "what about the firewall". A firewall is not necessary in a setup like this. If no connections are being made out of network, if the machine is even connected to a network, then there is no reason to monitor or block who is connecting to the machine.

That's all of the info about hardware around the computers, let's talk about the computers themselves!

I'm assuming that these things are a little fucked. First things first would be testing all machines to make sure that they still function! General housekeeping like blasting all of the dust off the motherboard and cleaning out those ports. Also, putting new thermal paste on the CPU. Refresh your thermal paste people.

The hardware of the PCs themselves can and maybe should get upgraded. Most PCs (more PCs than you think) have the ability to be upgraded! I'm talking extra slots for RAM and an extra SADA cable for memory. Also, some PCs still have a DVD slot. You can just take that out and put a hard drive in there! Now upgrades aren't essential but extra memory is always recommended. Redundancy is your friend.

Once the hardware is set, factory reset the computer and... Ok, now I'm at the part where my inexperience really shows. Computer clusters are almost always done with the exact same make and model of computer because essentially, this is taking several computers and treating them as one. When mixing hardware, things can get fucked. There is a version of linux specifically for mixing hardware or operating systems, OSCAR, so it is possible. Would it be a massive headache to do in real life and would it behave in unpredictable ways? Without a doubt. But, it could work, so I will leave it at that. (but maybe ditch the Mac, apple doesn't like to play nice with anything)

Extra things to consider. Noise level, cooling, and humidity! Each of these machines have fans! If it's in a basement, then it's probably going to be humid. Server rooms are climate controlled for a reason. It would be a good idea to stick an AC unit and a dehumidifier in there to maintain that sweat spot in temperature.

playing fortnite on ur playstation & showing adult lottie all of ur skins and she doesn’t know wtf any of this shit means but shes happy for u anyway and listens to u rambling about the rarity of all the skins and how u never got the stupid fucking renegade raider (but u COULD’VE!)

& she tries to play it with u and you’re trying to teach her how to play and shes Not good she keeps aiming at the sky and the ground and you’re crying laughing at her and shes even giggling at herself. and ur playing on ur ps5 that she gifted u and shes on her shitty old dell laptop or something and it sounds like a jet engine from how bad it’s overheating😭

her watching u play fifa and she’s getting really into it cause she obviously used to play soccer when she was younger and she starts gently coaching u from the sofa but she gets more and more into it and starts yelling at the tv and you’re like lottie they’re literally bots😭

or she just sits and watches u play ur games sometimes with a cup of coffee or herbal tea or whatever the fuck healing concoction she’s made lol or she reads her book while u play with ur headphones in so u dont disturb her :]

u offhandedly mention being interested in a new game that’s coming out and the next thing u know she’s dragging u off the sofa to go to the store to buy it for u….. 😋

@themaresnest-dumblr replied to your post “It's Finally Winter Break! I'm FREE!”:

Okay, the first question is tell us all about the computer, the second is what sodding processor does it use that will allow you to play Sims 3? Like the graphic btw, it looks like a They Might Be Giants video.

​I actually haven't been able to install/play TS3 at ALL! I've never had a problem running TS3 before, so this sucks!

At first I thought it was the EA App effing up--I had it install the base game and all the EPs at once, but that didn't work, so I figured OK, let me uninstall everything and ONLY install the base game. That FINALLY got the TS3 Folder to appear in Documents, and the Launcher finally loaded. But every time I click Play, it instantly crashes back to the EA App. I have zero mods or Store CC installed or anything. And the "Repair" button on the EA App appears to do EFF ALL, so.... *whimpers*

I never had a laptop with Nvidia and different V-RAM/GPU components, so I'm a fish out of water as far as specs go with this new PC, since my dinosaurs ran TS3 just fine, LOL. Before this I was on a Win10 8GB Dell laptop (2017-2023), and before that I was on a 4GB Vista HP laptop (2009-2017).

This new laptop is a Win11 Asus--it runs Baldur's Gate 3 (barely, LOL, even my Steam Deck is crying), so I have no clue why it can't run TS3:

Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900H, 2600 Mhz, 14 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s). Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU.

I made an Error Report that I sent to EA, so hopefully they tell me something, otherwise I'm screwed.

Stupid Computer Shenanigans

Can you tell I like computers? Can you tell I'm autistic? I hope so!

Welcome back fuckers to this tumbly tumble dryer I claimed as my own. Today's garbage fire wonders if there's a difference between a tumble dryer and a normal dryer.

So a couple weeks ago, after putting an extra 4GB of sketchy eBay RAM into it, my 2007 no-name custom-ish PC I got for $6.25 from the thrift store was ready to exist a little better than 1GB of RAM. Because my autism desires stupid bullshit, I decided I must try to use it online. One problems, however: I haven't any ethernet to my room because I'm a bitch. Now, I could solve this with a USB WiFi adapter, but the computer hates it and refuses.

Instead of doing the sensible thing and giving up, I decided it needed to get stupider. I present to you: stupid computer shenanigans.

What you are witnessing is a short ethernet cable connecting the PC to a 2013 Dell business laptop to steal its internet for its own personal gain.

And it works!

They always say that, "if it works, it isn't stupid," but this is still stupid.

It was such a pain to get working. It's almost as if computers don't usually steal WiFi from a laptop running a different Windows version. It took quite a while of trying to setup networks on the PC and allowing it to take WiFi on the laptop. But, eventually, it connected.

Firefox no longer works with Windows 7, but thankfully I have an old version of Firefox from 2022 laying around and it works.

The experience was... not fast. It's almost like it's siphoning internet from a laptop through garbage nonsense and trying to render it with a Core 2 Duo and 5GB of DDR2-800 RAM. But hey, it worked! It was stupid, but it worked! Surprisingly, it wasn't the worst online experience I've ever had. Have you tried to use the internet on a 2DS or Wii U? No, of course you haven't! And if you have, shut up.

ok thats all thanks for coming to my me talk

Exploring the Benefits of Buying Refurbished Laptops Near Me

If you’re on the lookout for a laptop upgrade but have a tight budget, refurbished laptops are an excellent option to consider. “Refurbished” simply means the device has been returned to the seller, tested, repaired (if necessary), and then resold at a lower price. You can find quality refurbished laptops near you at reputable electronics stores and online marketplaces that specialize in restoring laptops to near-new condition. Here’s why a refurbished laptop might be the right choice for you.

Affordability with Quality

One of the top benefits of choosing a refurbished laptops near me is affordability. Refurbished models are typically priced significantly lower than brand-new ones, making them an attractive option for students, small business owners, or anyone seeking a good deal. Major brands like Apple, Dell, and Lenovo often have refurbished versions of their laptops available, meaning you can get a high-end device for a fraction of the price.

Reliability and Warranties

Reputable refurbishers conduct thorough testing to ensure each device performs well. This process includes checking the battery, hard drive, screen, keyboard, and other components to ensure they are in working order. Additionally, many refurbishers offer warranties, giving you extra peace of mind. Warranties usually cover a period ranging from 30 days to a year, so if any issues arise, you’re covered.

Eco-Friendly Option

Buying a refurbished laptop is also an eco-conscious decision. By choosing a refurbished device, you’re extending the life cycle of a product that might otherwise end up as electronic waste. This reduces the demand for new resources and the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new devices.

Finding Refurbished Laptops Near You

Many retailers and authorized refurbishers offer refurbished laptops both in-store and online. Places like Best Buy, Micro Center, and authorized brand-specific stores often have a selection of refurbished laptops. When shopping locally, you also have the benefit of inspecting the laptop in person, ensuring that it meets your quality standards.

In summary, opting for a refurbished laptop can offer significant savings, reliability, and environmental benefits. When you choose a reputable refurbisher, you can get a high-quality laptop with a warranty to suit your needs—an excellent investment without breaking the bank.

How am I considered a functional human?

I went out to replace my uncle's 2011 dell laptop

Goes into Costco size store

Walks up to first person with a name tag

*shows them laptop on my phone*

"Hi uhh.. this thing, I want this thing"

Gets laptop

Leaves

Ah yes "normal social interaction"

[lafortis]

That said if you need a laptop to do anything besides gaming you can get 5yr old Lenovo thinkpad for <$300 CAD with 8gb of ram and an 8th gen i5 or better which will do literally all the non-graphics intensive functionality you want for at least three more years, and frankly still runs smoother than modern dogshit laptops because business-grade Lenovo's don't come pre-fucked up

Business grade refurbed Dells (precisions or latitudes that are like the 7000 series or above) are pretty much great too, and will again completely cruise thru 90% of tasks you need, and dell refurbed offers a 1yr manufacturer warranty for like 50$ extra or some shit. The Canadian Dell refurbed store has fairly limited stock since it's just literally stuff they get sent back to refurb but I imagine Americas is nicer. I think Lenovo might have a first party refurb in the US too but none in Canada so you'll just have to live with the Amazon 30-60day warranties but honestly. The thing about business grade laptops is they're generally made to be maintained, so if you have a halfway decent idea of what's going on in there you can generally at least clean or replace parts or whatever. They're far far more resilient and reliable than consumer grade laptops your about to pay $1500 for. like assuming they only ever last you 1 yr you could take that five yrs before you're losing money nahmean?

anyway for gaming still kinda get fucked. but laptop-wise I recommend a 3ish year old razer Blade off FB marketplace or something (just because of form factor, its cooling is dogshit and you would get better performance from one of the ones with jet engines on the back) and then an external cooling unit for wherever you plan to settle it into most often (you can even technically carry the external cooler around but then kinda why did you buy the skinny laptop y'know?)
