WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

[Rose640]

The first PC I bought in late 90s.. was a Taiwanese-made Leo clone Pentium II, 266mHz, 24GB. maxtor HD, 4GB RAM.. it was cutting edge!!

You sure about RAM memory? That seems super high for the time.

I remember playing NFS II on that thing. Still remember some of the cheat codes.

You're probably right. More likely 4MB of RAM.

I remember 4kb....

Experienced some version of this already when I wear my hat, sunglasses and mask in public.

This is a waste of resources

This is hard. It's unfortunate that we have to think about this.

It's the typical display of showman.

Wow the updated iPhone SE is real. Reading about it.

What I do know is that it's $399.

I thought I saw something that says it does support Qi. If it does, I'll grab one in a few months - likely a 128GB version (red or white) for the business idea.

Yep, it does support Qi. I see this on the website. It can also fast charge (as Apple does, you need the adapter to make that happen).

In a way, you called this one. I'm glad that based on the info you have so far, this will work for your plans.

LOL. Well spotted, I'm thoroughly red faced!!
4mb it was... remember RAM cards was bloody expensive. I did upgrade the PC with a TV capture card and S3 Virge graphic card... didn't make Quake look any better. haha.. but, boy playing Aliens vs Predator (2??) was mindblowing good

So it sounds up my alley. For some reason, it surprised me that all of the iPhone SEs have dark fronts. That makes me less interested in the white iPhone SE for once.

As for if I'm gonna do it, I'm not sure. Size wise (you know I always compare), it is slightly smaller than my S10e so this point doesn't matter. The screen is a lot smaller of course. I'm going to guess that the SE is more powerful. Cameras are probably comparable. Water resistance is one point less so not ground breaking.
Of course, the loss of the headphone jack is a big con for me but I do have Bluetooth earbuds now that are really good. This point still matters to me.

The only thing that has been annoying about my S10e is the signal at times. Putting airplane mode on and then off to receive my MFA (multi factor authentication, not the degree lol) for school, but I haven't had to do that as much since the updates. Battery life is just okay. Didn't think I would be here, as it's always been easy to make or not make a choice. From what I can see, I can still sell the S10e and gain most of the same amount (trade in + student discount helped get that cost down) that I paid for it but do I feel like doing that? lol

I'm not sure.

Well, the stimulus is going out now. Those who had efiles and the IRS has their stuff online should be seeing it. Those who still rock old school expect the updated check with Mr. Trump's name on it within the next week.

Still it uses the lighting port, I'll use the charger I have and tie Apple to go bite my core for continuing to be a and not put fast charging in the box.

I still have these things in the house

My dad sent me pictures a few days ago of my mom using her old sewing machine. That thing is 42 years old and she still uses it regularly more than her newer electric version.

It supports wireless charging per Apple on it's website. It's basically iPhone 8 with a new chip, and iPhone 11 or Xr main camera.

I remember starting Quake for the first time. I must have been like, 6-7 years old. I was so terrified. Went straight to uninstall.

I'm more of a Max Payne, GTA:3, Vice City and SA generation.

I swear I thought I was reading The Onion article about Trump and WWE. Turns out, it's was a fact.
