I've put more listings of processors for sale on XMRbazaar. I am selling CPUs at prices similar or less than what they are selling for on ebay. Listed for Monero, but if you see something you like that I have listed, I do accept other forms of payment, such as Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Just message me. #monero #xmrbazaar #bch #bitcoincash #agorism image

I'm replacing a gunked up water cooler AIO radiator with a more reliable air cooler. I am really liking the Arctic Freezer 36 air cooler. Does a good job and is easy to understand how to install it. This one will be cooling an AMD Ryzen 5800X processor. #AMD #Ryzen #computer #tech

At some point, transition from learning to doing. It is good to know what you are doing... but you need to be doing it.

Getting ready to make some more sales of refurbished computers. Still keeping quite busy, but catching up with my backlog of work. Hopefully will be caught up soon!

I just made my first purchase with Monero (on XMRbazaar). It went well. Plan to do again. Digital Cash! #monero

Testing more computers today. I've been trying to catch up on work. Still got quite a bit to go. Delivered two fixed computers back to customers this morning. More to go this afternoon. Replacing a battery on a Lenovo Yoga laptop now. #repair #tech #business

Just picked up some more Dell hardware. Five Optiplex desktop computers, two with Intel 7th Gen i5 and three with 8th Gen Intel i5. Also got a PowerEdge T130 with Xeon processor. I will refurbish and resell the Optiplex machines. Not sure yet what I'll do with the PowerEdge. #Dell #Hardware

I'm not sure if people are crazy to be paying this much for this kind of service... or if I am not charging enough for my work on PCs (Windows and Linux). Possibly just the Apple tax, as I have stopped working on Apple devices for the last five years or so, for the most part. Cleanup service for $149.95 per device! This is a screenshot of an email promotion from a local store that specializes in Apple, not from Apple themselves. #Apple image

I'm just disappointed time after time with Mozilla. I've been using Firefox since it was called "Firebird". Each broken promise and failed project is yet another let down. I'm probably about ready to give up on them entirely. #mozilla #firefox

I'm looking into the issue with Intel 13th and 14th gen processors. Will be replacing two for my customers with AMD Ryzen motherboard and CPU. One system just immediately crashes on Windows or even the Windows installer. I replaced the storage, tried installing again and it crashed. However, when live booting to Linux, it seems to run fine with no crashes. I even ran a CPU intensive task over night and it is still running fine. We know there are serious issues with these Intel 13th and 14th gen chips, but why do you think it seems to run fine for me for simulated workloads in a Linux live environment? Do you think I'd see the same crashing problems if I installed Linux to a disk? If so, wouldn't that point to some kind of storage controller issue instead of a CPU issue? CPU in this instance is an Intel i7-13700KF, so we know it is one of the Intel chips affected by the "Intel Crisis". #Intel #Linux #Windows
