i’m a person that does things like drawing comics, writing code, and also tons of other things that i’d hit the character limit if i tried to explain.
so on this radio station that we have here someone was telling a story on how they accidentally installed malware onto their work computer
and they threw the tower out the window
just got a delivery confirmation
(and now my 2013 computer’s spinny hard drive makes bad-sounding noises)
the school intercom system makes anything that comes through it induce ear-bleeding
I'm going to explain why I'm getting a two-year-old machine instead of buying new: I don't have very much money. Almost all of money is going towards savings, and what I do have for spending would not get me very far in the world of new computers. My new phone was gotten by trading in my old one, but since there is no trade program for computers (and definitely not for one as old as my current one), I will buy used machines. In fact, my current one was used and was manufactured in 2013 and came with Windows 8.1 (which is very underrated, mind you). I just wanted a system that could basically do programming, making comics, lurking on internet forums, watching YouTube, and playing Minecraft and Baba Is You. I also wanted to stick with the OS I am also currently using, Manjaro MATE Edition (but also capable of running Windows 10 because some games are not compatible with Linux and other programming-related things)
