I’m one of them, my Cpu and motherboard are both almost 10 years old. I updated most other parts but don’t want to mess around with those core parts in fear of damaging something.
At the moment I’m either considering finally making the jump to a new case, motherboard and Cpu with the parts I replaced over the years or I will buy a steam machine.
Regardless of the practicality of enforcing this I think it’s a good idea. Most social media is very predatory and do not contribute in any positive way to a child that’s growing up. I’ve seen what especially TikTok does to a young kids brain, it’s almost like it’s reprogrammed to not have any focus and the addictive part of it makes them always want more TikTok.
I guess it might be about time to finally cancel my YouTube premium over this. I already was a bit on the fence after they bumped up the price, this might be the final straw. There’s already plenty of misinformation on the platform as is, no need to let even more proven spreaders on there.
I mean, three a night is more than you’d want of course but across an entire country it doesn’t seem that high? Dunno what it was like before this year (I hear the occasional one where I live but nothing too crazy) but I’m not sure how significant of an increase this is compared to last year or the year before.
Yeah, that’s why I replaced the video card already. From what I’ve seen, the CPU is also doable if you’re careful but definitely a lot more fragile.
