  • Some people in my high school began saying that someone in their class died in a motorcycle crash. I’ll call the “dead” kid Nel.

    So Nel has a motorcycle (here in Costa Rica there are some sort of scooter-like motorcycles that you can drive without needing a license as long as you are at least 13 years old)

    So I enter the classroom these guys were at, and they tell me Nel is dead. I asked why, and their answer was “Because he tried to protect a beautiful girl from an incoming car and the car hit him”.

    I actually believed them for 15 mins until someone calls them out, and it turns out there was no crash. Nel just had a fever and didn’t go to school for the day.

    Hours later I realized their argument didn’t make sense. If Nel had protected another person from an incoming car, it would still hit the 2 anyways.

    At the end I was called a whiny removed because apparently I can’t tolerate dark humor.

    Only Fortnite and Minecraft? Rather than a gaming laptop, you can buy him the ROG Ally handheld instead and save some money. Even the Steam Deck will do the job (make sure you get the 512 GB or 1 TB version, 64 and 256 GB are limited)





  • So here’s the deal, I have an old HP laptop I am in the process of resetting and setting up as my ~8yo nephew’s first computer.

    Big mistake. It reinstalls all the bloatware and sometimes it can even end up bricking your Windows install. Always clean install.

    Obviously the parental controls will be in place with his parents getting a crash course in anything they don’t already know how to use(they’re tech literate so I’m not worried about that).

    Just in case you decide to use the Microsoft parental controls. It automatically blocks Firefox so you have to unblock it manually.

    So here’s where my question for y’all comes in, what are your recommendations for a budding computer scientist/programmer’s first Windows machine?

    Replace the HDD with a 512 GB SATA SSD, install 8 GBs of RAM and it will probably last more
