Which 4th May is this from? Because if it's from 2007 then that's a perfectly reasonable mid-range machine, but if it's from last month then I really hope he's only using it as a personal Linux box for tinkering.

Well, the x1950 Pro is from Oct 2006 but Grindr didn't launch until March 2009. And I don't know if it launched with the iconic colours but I don't remember any other colours and I do remember using Grindr in 2010. Not sure about 2009.

Edit: nice dick tho

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You remember using Grindr? Hah, gay

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Good thing that was the giveaway, and not the "nice dick" edit, because I'd like to point out that it's perfectly normal to compliment an acquaintance's dick or give it a suck.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I mean it's from at least roughly back when ATi was a thing

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That’s actually kind of sad.

I remember doing a ton of stuff on my core 2 Duo iMac with 2gb ram.

Sure, you won’t be playing cyberpunk, but it ran all the creative suite apps, a few games, and I did a ton of image editing, made movies, and did programming on it.

Intel Core 2 Duo? 4 GB DDR3 RAM?

Cretaceous period intensifies

[–] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

That was my home server specs til February. Upgraded to a third gen i5 and 8gb ram

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago (8 children)

I don't know what you guys are talking about?
I've used an old laptop with Windows 11 (just because I wasn't supposed to) which had Core 2 Duo T7500 (upgraded from T7100), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, but with an SSD rather than HDD. Pretty usable with that thing.

Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

oh god what the fuck you ran windows fucking 11 on it??? i have no words

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pretty usable with that thing.

Unfortunately it broke, but I think it would still be just as good.

So pretty usable until windows 11 broke it?

I wouldn't have gotten that far. That utter savage can't even tell the difference between MT/s and MB/s.

5400 RPM spinning rust? Walk away.

4GB ram? this guy is lemon party material.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 26 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

5 inches thick? It’s a chunky clam chowder can, yikes

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Unless it's circumference, otherwise it should be advertised as a 5.25inch floppy

[–] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 22 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You completely forgot to mention it runs Arch

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 13 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

That is implied.

The Arch is slightly to the left.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I hope this is a really old meme, otherwise I fell bad for my bro.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 1 day ago

otherwise I fell bad for my bro

Not sure if you meant to write "feel", but it is too late now.
Maybe you should get in touch 😏

Seagate never made a 512GB HDD at least that I can find.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Now, now, I'm sure the first guy was "enhancing" his own specs a little bit, too. We all do it.

That said, there are some arguably similar drives listed at 500 GB capacity on ebay. But it's not the size of the disk, it's the gesticulation of the allocation.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

I have several 500gb hdd's. I've never seen one labled 512 gb. Only micro sd cards and SSD's. If they did exist, I'd suspect they were either IDE or SAS.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 12 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Are you telling me this post is fake?

Eww 5400 rpm hdd, even in the year here the pc is new is a hard no (also the drive would be 500 gb not 512 that’s an ssd thing not mechanical drives typically). 7200 rpm and highest cache amount possible please

Intel

Okay off to a bad start.

Core 2 Duo

Ok boomer.

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 13 points 21 hours ago

But what's the radius of the balls?

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

~5 inches thick means the circumference, I assume? Because a ~12cm diameter sounds rather uncomfortable.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Seems like a pretty normal girth to me?

In its hay day I would have killed for that.

P.S. my auto-correct wants me to say "have gotten killed for that". Yet again, I'm the victim.

As a man who doesn't use things like grindr, I get the feeling that men who get that specific about their body measurements are probably red flags. Is that correct?

That X1950 pro and Core 2 Duo are pretty awesome if the year is 2007. 5400rpm HDD lets it down a bit though.
